Our backyard extends beyond the area behind our house, it includes the places we frequent, the places we visit, the places where we live life. This blog is all about the things we find in our backyard and beyond.

To spare or not to spare...

If you're a parent, what's your discipline style? Do you have one? Are you one to spare the rod or not? These are the questions many young mothers ask, well even old mothers like me still grapple with this question every once in a while.

Read my take on discipline at Amoores.com and let me know what is yours?

Does your parenting style evolve constantly like mine, or do you have one that you've always stuck to? Answer these questions and ask other moms you know.

The Mommy Trap

I wrote a post about what momma always said not too long ago because I just find it amusing how these little sayings stay with us all the rest of our life. We roll our eyes everytime we get told the same thing for the hundredth time. We swear we’d be the coolest of moms when it’s our turn and would never fall into the same trap. Then we have our own children and we bang heads with our moms because they just don’t know the modern way you’d like to raise your children. Then the children start learning words. They start talking. Then they start talking back. And before you know it, you’re talking exactly like your mother and her mother and all the other mothers before them. That dang chain is a little harder to break than you thought.

Check out this video about the mommy trap...

Just because I said so?

I wrote a post about what momma always said not too long ago because I just find it amusing how these little sayings stay with us all the rest of our life.

Then we have our own children and we bang heads with our moms because they just don’t know the modern way you’d like to raise your children.

Read the rest at our new home along with a cool video just about this momma trap.
