Mother’s day is just around the corner! Sunday, May 9, 2021, is days away as I hit publish on this post. If you don't have a plan yet it's time to start brainstorming those Mother's day gift ideas.

Mom's love to be celebrated right !?! They also deserve to be celebrated (if I do say so myself...as a mom).

When I became a mother, I decided to try my best to make celebratory days like Mother's Day (or my birthday - I love birthdays! Mine and everyone else’s!) easy and fun for my family. I want them to know, however they choose to celebrate will be enjoyed and appreciated!

Why is a home management plan important?

Without a plan its easy to forget about some small but important tasks. Having a plan helps me create habits and *bonus* this simple first week five includes fresh coffee!

When was the last time you changed your A/C air filter?

If you asked me that before I started my “First Week Five” routine I may have guessed, hmmmm

Summer, Summer oh how I love you, well I did when I could go to the pool...just kidding! I still love summer!

Summer 2020 is really unusual ,isn’t it? From phases of opening to deciding where and how to go anywhere at all. Is it just me or does your head spin with all “this” whatever “this” is?

Even so, I am grateful for many things which is why I am sharing my Top 20 Summer Round Up with you!

Pools are opening! I have already seen poolside pictures and am anticipating (with all my fingers crossed!) pools and beaches to open nationwide soon!

I have high hopes that soon I will be having some poolside relaxation time and for me, that includes an entertaining novel!

We are all ready to grab our beach bags and feel like normal people again (even at a social distance!). So check out this list of books to read this summer, grab your beach reads and dive in!

Mistakes I Made Raising "Almost Twins"

Author: Heidi Suydam

“Are you twins?” A question asked countless times through the years to my two blond headed beauties, one brown eyed, one blue. Similar in so many ways.

“No but we should have been.” My brown eyed girl often answers.

My mom heart breaks every time.

Mother's Day Gifts Guide 2020 with Shipping Tips

#thesosblog contains affiliate links and may earn a small commission on qualifying purchases.

Coffee in hand, strolling around the stores. Boutique or “gifty” spots preferred. Dreamy right? That is my favorite way to shop for gifts. I pick items up, think about the person I am buying for, put it down, stroll around some more then come back.

Ahhhh the good “old” days.

While I am staying forever hopeful life can and will return to pre-covid “normal-ish” at least for now we must shop and give gifts a different way. Online shopping!

Mother’s Day is May 10th 2020, this post is being posted April 30th which means we need to shop and have our items shipped quickly!

Christmas with 4...Midlife Mom Thoughts

We are a family of 5 - myself, my husband and our three girls. About a year and a half ago my oldest daughter moved 12 hours away to start a life at the age of 18 almost 19. With no interest in college she went to pursue an opportunity that ended up not working out. She is resilient and full of determination and decided to stay and pursue other things but in the same area (did I mention this is 12 hours away from home?).

At first, as a mom, I felt rejected and confused. Why didn't she come home?

This list of books is near and dear to my heart as I have made some huge shifts in life over the last several years. I wish I had these resources much earlier in life but I am a firm believer that things happen at the right times for the right reasons.

I hope these help you as much as they have helped me in forming healthy relationships with not only my children but in life as well.

Midlife Mommy Meltdown & momming through it

Well, there I was, having a perfectly normal day and the next thing you know the dog starts to get in poop position in the middle of the kitchen, the girls are screaming with the potential grossness of it all. Suddenly I turned around like a scene from the exorcist and yelled (yes actually yelled - loud) deep throated, angry, harsh words at my child.

It was like an out of body experience. I don’t do that – the angry, harsh loud yelling at the drop of a hat.

What do you do as a parent? Do you deny all access to the internet? Is that even possible these days? Do you deny all involvement in and on social media? What about email? What about things like games, Pinterest, Musically?

Do you monitor ALL interactions on ALL devices? Is THAT even possible? Do you manage hours per day on devices? On the internet? On PC’s, gaming systems, even smart TVs now? Do you constantly monitor your children? Is THAT even possible?
