Super Mom, and then some!

So, when I made the decision to start publishing my Children's books, I was intrigued by the option to self-published online.  It wasn't a terribly hard process at the beginning. But the past few days have been busy busy trying to convert my books into different formats so that I can submit them to different book stores and outlets.  This is where my self-publishing decision made me think twice! But I am happy to say that I completed both books in different formats and have submitted them, hopefully all of my hard work pays off and I start to get a bigger fan base! For now my books are available in my online store and can also be purchased in the Apple iBookstore.  I will keep my fingers crossed that my submissions get approved and they will be available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, etc! Stay tuned!  Check out my website for info on my currently available books!!   Check out my Website!!

The one sentence that can break a Mommy's heart instantly!   Lately my 6 year old has been branching out and testing her independence.    This morning while getting ready for school I went and got all the stuff to do her hair and sat down, she looks at me and says, "I don't need that, I can do it myself!".  Umm, I always do her hair in the morning, it's my thing....how dare she try and do it herself! My heart was slightly broken, but I let her do her own hair, she did a pretty good job too. I was proud of her for that, but deep down, I was a little upset, it is one less thing that I am needed for.     A little while later after getting to the school, we got out of the car and I was going to walk into the office to get my sticker to enter the building when she says, "I can walk myself to class today, Mommy." Just then I felt like I had been punched in the gut......it is one thing to do her own hair, but walking herself to class....there has to be a ...

It is funny, we spend the last few weeks of the summer impatiently waiting for school to start, yet we get a few weeks in and cannot wait for a break from the everyday hustle and bustle!  The last few weeks have been a work in progress, getting used to new schedules and teachers and new activities and getting geared up for Scouts this year while both girls caught and are currently getting over a virus that seems to be going around! I guess that put a monkey wrench in our plans for perfect attendance this year. Oh well, we will just have to find something else to strive for!   Hoping that once everyone gets used to our new schedules this year things will calm down a bit and I might get that chance to sit down, relax and just have some time to think. Who am I kidding, I don't know how to just sit and relax, I can't help but be productive in one way or another!  Hoping for an awesome school year and lots of new adventures!
