The Toolbox I like to be a mother who
is prepared for the various circumstances or
emergencies that can come up in family life. These
issues can be as small as children who are bored, or
as great as a trip to the emergency room. When we,
as mother's, are prepared, we can tackle each of
these situations with much greater ease than if we
are unprepared. Every mom bennefits from
having a good "toolbox". In her toolbox, she will
have useful ideas stored away, ready to be used at a
moment's notice. I have found that having ideas and
a plan, ready for action, is crucial when managing
my large family, consisting of six children. When I think about my
"toolbox", I picture a neatly ordered closet or
chest. I would like it to be ready to use, because
I
never know when I need them. One of the things this
means is that I have ideas in place for how to
respond to my children when they come to me saying,
"I'm bored." I like to have useful things for them
to do, that help them grow and develop. I have been a mom for 12 years. I have been
in the Toy Industry for 10 years. During these
years I have learned much, and I would like to
share that with you! This is a friendly
website, from one mom to another, featuring helpful
"Mom Reviews" and other information and articles
(coming soon) pertaining to raising these little
children we have been entrusted with. Since this is
also my "hobby", I am sure it will branch off into
other areas, but a
Mom's care of her children, in guiding them
to good use of their time through educational or learning
toys and activities is going to be the main
focus of this site. The blog exists just
as a way of sharing different experiences or
thoughts. Feel free to follow along, and relate to
our family as you go through your journey with
raising yours! Please forgive the
"newness" of the website. It is new, but I have a
lot of ideas and places I would like to eventually
go with it. :) |
