Keep those Tweens and Teens safe this summer

June 8, 2016 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

teen summer safety tips

This is the first year I’ll have an almost “tween” home over the summer… This is also the first summer that we’ve got a computer in his bedroom, and each of the kids has their own “smart” device. Be it a kindle, ipad, or what not, they all know how to use them. Now, I’ve […]

To Co-sleep or Not?

May 6, 2016 By katbiggie 1 Comment

co-sleeping to co-sleep or not

Co-sleeping…. One of the hottest topics amongst mothers of young children… To Co-Sleep or Not? As many young couples do, when my first husband and I started talking about having a family, we had our list of things we would not allow our children to do. They would not throw tantrums in public. They would […]

Lice, lice baby!

August 26, 2015 By katbiggie 4 Comments

She howled out as I tugged, perhaps a little too viciously, on the tiny little lice catching comb. She wriggled and tried to escape me, but I held on tight. Through gritted teeth I muttered some kind of threat on her well being if she did not sit there and take it like a four-year-old. […]

Happily Ever After…

August 17, 2015 By katbiggie 3 Comments

  Moms, wouldn’t you agree that one of your top priorities in life as a mother is the safety and well being of your child? So many of us spend hours fearing scenarios that are, truthfully pretty unlikely, but still terrify us. However, bad things DO happen. While we all wish we could live happily […]

Fat kids make me sad – Obesity Prevention in Children

July 24, 2015 By katbiggie 3 Comments

Trust me, I get it. For those of us who are prone to be overweight, it is really, really tough to slim down or stay trim in the first place. I guess that’s what upsets me so much when I see overweight children. I’m not talking about pudgy kids. Lots of kids are pudgy and […]

I Did Not Medicate my Child Because I am a “Lazy Parent” – Recognizing Signs of Mental Health Issues in Children

June 18, 2015 By katbiggie 20 Comments

mental health issues in children

Mental Health Issues in Children are a Real Issue May was Mental Health Awareness Month – and while I missed the boat on posting about this topic then, it’s really one that we should never stop discussing. There is such a stigma around mental health issues, and it shouldn’t be that way. I remember how much grief […]

Wedgie butts and robot farts… living with a child with ADHD

May 30, 2015 By katbiggie 1 Comment

CHILD WITH ADHD

I have a child diagnosed with ADHD. Life can be… well, challenging. Let me just walk you through a typical morning in our house. “Bug, go get dressed. Your ride will be here in ten minutes.” This is probably already the 18th time I have told him to get dressed. “Bug, go into your room […]

9 tips for getting your kids to eat veggies

May 28, 2015 By katbiggie 1 Comment

VEGGIES

If you don’t have to play the game of “hide the veggies,” you are lucky. However, many of us struggle with kids who just DO NOT want to even try. I remember being a kid. I remember how much I detested not only the taste, but the texture of squash. I felt like I was […]

Dear Michael

March 24, 2015 By katbiggie 3 Comments

Dear Michael – Out of 40 cousins on my mom’s side the family, you are one that I have actually gotten to know fairly well.

Accidental overdose

March 17, 2015 By katbiggie 3 Comments

accidental overdose

The only thing worse than having a sick child is having a sick child that climbs into your bed and coughs in your ear at 4:30 in the morning. At least she was cute about it. Three is a fun age, isn’t it? When they are picking up so much but don’t quite get everything […]
