We don't have a tv so we watched specific events on the BBC website (no commercials-hurray!). Right away we were amazed that our kids were rooting unprompted for team GB! Our back yard became the Luehrmann arena where they did gymnastics, synchronised swimming, archery and athletics. And of course this had to be followed by a medal ceremony. All in all we had great family bonding time watching and acting out the Olympics as well as realising how British our kids are!azuremlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01150943330937416106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436093165007267837.post-16799073405816946892012-02-13T16:11:34.514-06:002012-02-13T16:11:34.514-06:00Thank you for the post!

I am now reminded of the benefits of going through an agent etc. I have always felt like that was the best way to go, so I'm glad to know exactly why that is. I think one of the reasons writers conferences and classes have low number because people are able to get away with not being an exceptional writer. Not that this is a good thing. With the rising popularity of blogs and social media people can say whatever they want, however they want and not be required to have expertise. I think you are certainly on the right track with suggesting social networking as a marketing strategy! Thank you for posting, I really enjoyed it. <br /><br />Katie HoffmanKatie Hoffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07847782978728126678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436093165007267837.post-33630268053410254852012-02-13T14:50:45.643-06:002012-02-13T14:50:45.643-06:00@Shaky Mama--I'm pretty sure there's a BG ...@Shaky Mama--I'm pretty sure there's a BG under there.

I love how these diapers can all serve different purposes and be used in different situations!

I don't take time to read stuff like this and it does help when others are honest and say that can't get it all done either. There will be a few exceptions to the rule, but gosh Joy from the looks of you and your family, I'd say you have it all together!!! I struggle with working with my children, eating healthy and the house well it goes and I've learned not to be embarrassed anymore... Well, at least more comfortable should people stop in.

We as stong independant women want to believe that we can do it all and with grace while looking cute! Well we can't, nor do our sweet families expect us to. Our expectations are all our own and can be adjusted as suits our families needs. The Copper Pot...I am a momma who works full time, and no I do not do it all. What is "all" anyway? I think that doing it "all" is just doing what God has placed in your life at this time to do. There is grace for the other stuff. Right now in my life, there is grace in the chaos. If clothes are clean, bottles are clean, and everyone is fed and bathed...that is a success! The toys being picked up and the dusting...well that will have to wait for another time. Joy you hit it on the head something has to give! We just have to be willing to give it up to God and allow his grace and mercy cover us. Keeping our sweet families as the priority, the rest is just stuff. Thank you for sharing this its always good to know we are not alone in this thing called mommahood.kynahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05631754095238396207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436093165007267837.post-87091844722283515662011-04-19T15:16:31.662-05:002011-04-19T15:16:31.662-05:00So glad to know I'm not alone.

I know you guys didn't end up going the preschool route, but what about getting a little more childcare--even four or five hours a week with a mother's helper? This has been huge for me, because that way I can get some work done and also get some of the housework done. (I am the same way about the messy house, and I have finally come to terms with the fact that I can't function well in clutter and chaos, so clean is a must). Not that I am even *close* to figuring it out myself, but this helps. :)Camille Noe Pagánhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06318306349873779347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436093165007267837.post-45455304212958969952011-04-19T09:08:54.143-05:002011-04-19T09:08:54.143-05:00I struggle with this too.
