1. If April showers bring May flowers, what 3 kinds of flowers are you planting this Spring?
Well, we have peonies (my favorite), tulips and wild flowers. I love how my husband just puts a bunch of wild flower seeds in a barrel (half of an old wine barrel) and they grow like crazy.
2. Cinco de Mayo. End of the School Year. A long Memorial Day weekend. How are you celebrating the kick off to summer?
Well I feel like the big kick off to summer is our annual trip to Graeagle to stay at Feather River Resort. We stay in cabins, golf, cook, play and just have a great time. We go every year in the beginning of June and it definitely kicks off Summer.
Some snaps from last year's trip.
3. What 3 qualities make a great mom? Or show us a picture of you and your mom and tell us why she is so special to you.
1. Being patient. I feel like that is a constant struggle for me, but I am working on it and I feel it is something that is soooo important.
2. Talking to your kids and not at them. I read an article a few years back and it showed how Kate (Prince William's wife) knelt down and talked to her kids. They respond better that way instead of talking down/at them. I try to do this as often as possible.
3. Loving your kids unconditionally. Being a mom is tough and I have shed so many tears over it. There isn't any manual that tells us how to be a parent, but we do it through trial and error and no matter what I love my girls unconditionally.
I want to grow more flowers. Great parenting advice!

DeleteThat is such a great idea with the wildflowers in the wine barrel! Your trip sounds so fun! Doing something similar for memorial day and I cannot wait!
ReplyDeleteAnd they are just sooo pretty. That will be a great time! I can't wait to read about it!
DeleteGetting down to children's level, it does make a huge difference. I use to do it all the time when I was a Nanny. It did help alot. Also, I too am trying to have more patience, it doesn't come easy to me but I'm working on it.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers sound so pretty! I am constantly working on my patience, I feel like some days I have none. And I definitely try to talk on Zoe's level, especially when it is something important. Momming can be hard, but so rewarding!
