So, do you like discussion? Messageboards? Interacting with other like minded parents? I do!

I wouldn't have made it my first year as a mother without the motherhood messageboards I was a part of! Those people are still some of my greatest friends!

So, let's get talkin'. Have a question? Need some help? Want some advice? Let's surround ourselves and work together to impress our kids!

To start it off, let's  introduce ourselves...who are you? how many kids? what's your favorite ice cream? book? tv show? whatever! just say hi!

:)

OK. I know I'm responding to my own post with a different account, I'm just trying to figure this blog frog out...(it's kinda fun!)

I'm Amanda. 2 kids==Lydia 4, Asa 1. Today my favorite icecream is NONE. Good grief, it's freezing here. I'd much rather have a Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate from Starbucks...but they don't make that anymore. Hmmmm...how 'bout my favorite movie? The Wizard of Oz. I wish wish wish I had those ruby slippers. And favorite TV show? Well, if you follow my personal blog you'll know I'm a LOSTIE.

Hey, everyone!  I'm Leigh, and I'm mom to Elias and Donovan, both boys - ages 4 and 2!  I am always in love with ice cream, no matter how cold it is outside! my favorite is mint chocolate chip.  But if we're talking salted caramel stuff, you've GOT to get to the closest Firebirds to you and order their brownie with ice cream and salted caramel sauce.  oh my goodness - I didn't even share.  Bad Leigh.

Sorry about that tangent... I love a lot of different random movies, and I love books too.  But I love too many to list!  I love TV shows, too - and I think my favs are a tie between SYTYCD and Good Eats, with the Biggest Loser and AI close behind.  My favorite color is green, and I love my jammies.  How's that for an intro? ;)

I'm Vanessa--mom to Juliet who is 3 and anxiously awaiting her 4th birthday party (which will not be arriving until 9 months from now...)
 
Love the Ben and Jerry's chocolate fudge brownie ice cream. 
 
Trying to narrow down my favorite movie makes me feel all nervous like I'm in 10th grade spanish class again, so, I'm skipping that. 
 
Favorite authors? I love Shakespeare, John Steinbeck, Kurt Vonnegut, Amy Tan, and Barbara Kingsolver. 
 
And even though I love the great writers, I can most often be found reading the latest issue of Lucky or Dwell magazine. 
 
As for TV, I have to admit to watching America's Next Top Model EVERY time it comes on.

Hello!

I'm Shelly. I have 2 baby girls, well not babies anymore, Aleah is 5 and in 4k (she is old for her class), Ellie is 3 and stuck with me at home. My husband is active duty Army officer and is gone during the week.

Ice cream is a favorite, doesn't matter what kind, I don't watch movies but if by chance I do catch one it better be funny.

My favorite authors are all bloggers :) LOL...no really, I read alot of Christian based books so mostly whatever is suggested to me at the time.

Ha! Shelly, I hear you--I devoured books before I started blogging! *sigh*

The last time I read a really really good and grown up book? It's been awhile...

Hi!

My name is Julie. I am mom to Jarod (almost 13), Andrea (11), Katie (4) and Becca (2 1/2). My life consists of staying home with my little ones and driving my older ones to all of their activities. I'm also PTO co-chair and a Girl Scout leader.... when I have free time, I enjoy quilting and crafting.

I do enjoy tv and movies... I watch the Biggest Loser, Glee, and just about anything on HGTV and Food Network.

I've found my latest reads to be what my tweens are reading - that way we can chat about it! I am currently reading "Three Cups of Tea", and am just getting into reading blogs. I love the support and ideas!

Ice cream is a staple in our home. We usually stock vanilla, that way everyone can put on their own toppings... chocolate syrup is another staple, but my favorite is fresh raspberries from the garden!

Hello all - my name is sarah (mamaoftwo) i am a wife to a loving husband and a mother of two wonderful toddlers. (most days, LOL) Though i am stenographer by trade, living as a "stay-at-home mom" is what i love best! i enjoy ice cream and Starbucks and long walks as a family in our neighborhood. No much for t.v. - love to read though. Grisham is good, so is Rosemond, and Murrey!!

My husband and have been married for 6 yrs and our  2 kiddos are Selah(3) & Aidan (2) - life is good and i love being a mommy almost as much as i love being a wife.  Most days you will find me on my knees trying to get it right - that is why i am looking forward to being part of this group. "My desire is to know my husband intimately, enjoy my kiddos continually, and serve the Lord intentionally!"  

Look forward to knowing you all more!To know more about me...go to: http://joysnpainsofbeingmommy.blogspot.com/p/little-about-me.html

Oh, Julie! Teenagers and toddlers! You will have some great insight for us! :)

And Sarah, your mission "to know your husband intimately, enjoy your kids continually and serve the Lord intentionally" is MY FAVORITE. What a great concise thing to focus on!

Thanks so much for introducing yourselves!

Hi,

I am Myrtle and I just found your blog "impress your Kids".  Loved it.  I like the Fruit of the Spirit series.  Our family small group theme this year is FOS.  So I will definitely come back to that series.  Kids of Integrity has a similar series with lots of ideas.
