Another Reason to Love the 80's (Like We Needed One)

Momservation: Getting your kids to love your generation’s music should be a sign of good parenting.

☺ ☺ ☺

It's a well-established fact in our house that Mom LOVED the 80's.

Loved big, spiral permed hair and AquaNet. Loved double layering polo shirts (with collars up) with matching double layered socks and Keds.

Big hair? Check. Neon colors? Check. Must be Senior Ball in the 80's

Submitted by rss-admin on Thursday, May 9th, 11:41 am

Late night snacking can sneak up on you when you don't even see it coming. That last bite of something left on the kitchen counter, a few cookies during the evening news, a cup of hot chocolate...

“Be prepared.” These words are the reason my suitcase is habitually too heavy to lift, especially in the summer. I don’t like to be a worrywart, but as a mother of two little ones – and with an embarrassingly low pain threshold myself – I like to be prepared for summertime’s stings, scrapes and sore anything.

I’ve wasted one too many hours of precious vacation time in search of my favorite remedies away from home. These days I’m known for having everything from tea tree oil to arnica gel at the ready!

Here’s what I’d pack in a bottomless suitcase for every family trip to the mountains, coast or park:

The same one you ask me every year.

Celebrate Mom's Beauty

When I was growing up, my family had a Mother’s Day ritual. Dad would bring the kids to a department store, give us each $10 and let us loose to find a gift for Mom.

One year, my 8-year-old sister — whose thrift was legendary even then — was overwhelmed by a display of pricey gold-plated bracelets. “But what will I have left when I’m old?” she lamented, before reluctantly handing over her whole $10.
