In a Mom’s Life: Poop Happens

Latte with The Queen Mommy

Yeah – I know.  I just wrote about this topic recently – reminiscing about a Walmart bathroom incident when Curly was little.  Didn’t realize just how much the “poop theme” would continue in this mom’s life… Little Man has spent a few nights in Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.  After a dr visit Thursday –… read more »

Getting Ready…

Latte with The Queen Mommy

School is getting into full swing around here.  Some schools in the state started last week – and most in our area are starting today and tomorrow. Curly is a “Kindergarten Girl” and she is ALL. KINDS. OF. EXCITED! We pulled her out of the Christian school (for a variety of reasons) and she’ll be… read more »

Houston, We have a Food Dye Allergy

Latte with The Queen Mommy

This is still pretty new to me, but I’m pretty positive that Georgie is allergic to Red Dye #40. Anything that is red or pink probably has Red 40, but not exclusively.  Red 40 is one of the most common dye additives to many common foods  such as chips, crackers, beverages, cheese, chocolate cake mix,… read more »

Do you have a “Difficult” Child?

Latte with The Queen Mommy

I’ve been wondering how to approach this topic because it is not an easy subject to write about.  I read this article at ehomebody.com, and after reading my friend Amy’s post about her son Ian, thought I should write about my experience with a “difficult” child. Curly has always been our easy-going, happy child.  She… read more »

RaisingHomemakersBanner-1

So for the past few weeks, our Polished Cornerstones projects went by the wayside in the face of major papers and finals for college classes.  The reality was that every minute I could spare was spent on school work.  Everybody and everything suffered.  Last week, I spent much of the week resting and catching up… read more »

Growing Like Weeds or Flowers?

Latte with The Queen Mommy

How is it that one day you bring a tiny little infant home, and the next day (or so it seems) you turn around and they’re dressing themselves and talking to you about the meaning of life – as they understand it?er Summer is for birthdays for our girls and it’s hard to believe that… read more »

Talking with the Girls

Latte with The Queen Mommy

So the girls and I were riding in the van the other day, and the road was kinda rough.  It had lots of patches, bumps, and dips.  We hit one spot and it was kinda loud, and Georgie immediately asked, What was that? I started explaining that the road was rough and the asphalt had… read more »

Raising Homemakers

Latte with The Queen Mommy

In our culture – and this day and age – the “role” of women has been so redefined that many women (including myself) live in a lot of confusion.  The messages from our culture – and even from the body of Christ – so often undermine the beauty of womanhood, and God’s original plan for… read more »

Curly’s Day

Latte with The Queen Mommy

Today is Curly’s graduation from Prekindergarten. I started blogging in the first place because of her.  Friends & family would request updates or pictures – wanting to know how she (and we) were doing.  And although I’d never done it before, I launched my first blog to share her life – and my new journey… read more »

Family Fun Weekend

Latte with The Queen Mommy

I can’t believe it’s Friday – I always dream of the enchanting post I can write about the week I’ve had, the things God has shown me, the blessings, and so on. And then Friday comes and I’m scrambling to tie up loose ends and get ready for busy weekends. LOL I was scheduled for… read more »
