My lil ball player

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy! -


Basketball is one sport I played through my school years.  I was the point guard and I loved it.  This week my daughter started a basketball fundamentals class and I am excited that she loved it!!  She did a very good job with passing and not too bad with dribbling.  She did struggle with shooting but she is 5 and even though they lowered the hoops they were still too high.  I do expect her to improve over the next 7 weeks.  :)  We might have to sign her up for the next class!  :) 

 The last couple of years she has been able to try many different classes at the YMCA.  She has done swimming a few times, gymnastics several times, cooking class, craft class, and even music class.  She loves all the classes she has been in  so it can make it challenging since she wants to do them all every week.  Basketball is more affordable then gymnastics so I am really hoping to keep her in basketball for awhile.  I know she loves gymnastics but the cost and the competition and pressure at such a  young age is hard.  

 My dearest daughter,
I love your passion to be active.  You love trying new things all the time and it makes me so proud!  I remember being such a shy kid but it makes me happy that you do not have that type of fear.  :) I pray that you will continue to thrive at every activity that you do.  :) 

 LOVE YOU!!

Toddler Rainbow Craft for St. Patricks Day

St. Patrick's day is March 17th so its approaching quickly.  I have a few ideas on art and food projects that i want to do with the kiddos.  Hopefully I will have enough time to complete them and share them with you.   This was a super easy one for those little hands.  I cut the stripes of colored paper but if you are working with a preschooler or school aged child then they can practice cutting.  The two toddler boys here only had to glue the pieces on their piece of paper.  EASY, but they enjoyed it!  :)  It sure has brightened my kitchen with them hanging on the fridge!  :)   I also talked more about the Promise God gave us with the rainbow since I know that history a whole lot better then the history of the Irish Holiday!

The Marriage Manual: 3 Secrets To A Happy And Lasting Marriage

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy! -

Well, you have gone and done it! You’ve stood across from the love of your life and made your vows in front of your family, friends, and God. You’ve entered into the contract of marriage, but while it may be a solemn contract, that certainly doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t be fun. It’s strange how many newlyweds expect life to undergo some kind of seismic shift upon tying the knot, assuming that their lives will not become a pattern of domestic drudgery with pleasure, intimacy and fun going out the window and that elusive spark between you fading away until you either can’t stand the sight of each other or are happy to tick over despite the grinding mutual resentment. Happily, the truth is that marriage is neither a ball and chain nor a grueling assault course. But like anything worth having, a marriage needs to be maintained.
