Thursday night was Math and Science Night at my son’s elementary school. Since his favorite subjects are Math and Science, he really wanted to go. It turned out to be quite fun. The teachers had set up different classrooms with small Science projects and various projects, as well as some Math games and whatnot. I think my favorite room was where the kids got to make their own ice cream. It wasn’t anything fancy, or hard.. and it came out to about 1/4 cup of vanilla ice cream. They also made their own puzzles and we played some fun Math games. At every classroom the kids went to they received this tickets and they put their name and teacher’s name on them.. and at the end of the night in the library they got to choose prizes they’d like to be entered into drawings to win. Eric put all of his tickets into the DVD Player with a bunch of movies. He had such a great time. I plan on posting up the recipe for the ice cream within the next couple of posts. (Gotta find it, lol) So, for those parents who enjoy doing fun little projects with their kids, this might be one you’ll be interested in. I enjoy doing things like that with Eric, and he’s really into doing anything “experiemental” anyways, cause he loves Science so much. He says he is going to be a Scientist when he grows up. 
Anyways, I’m really looking for some mom bloggers to become affiliates with,or exchange links with. Anyone interested in exchanging links let me know. Thanks!

The other night Eric and I made miniature pizzas together. I thought I’d post it up here for anyone who’s looking for a quick and easy recipe that your child can enjoy making right along with you. It’s nothing fancy, but the kids will enjoy themselves.
Miniature Pizza
Ingredients:
Pizza Sauce
Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (Cheddar will work if that’s all you have)
1 (10 count) can of biscuits. (or more depending on how many children you have)
Your choice of topping. (We used pepperoni slices)
Preheat oven to whatever temperature the biscuits are supposed to be cooked at. Usually about 425 degrees F. On an ungreased cookie sheet flatten each biscuit with the palm of your hand. (Make it look like mini pizza crust.) Spread about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce on each one. Sprinkle on cheese. Add any other toppings, if any. Bake according to the instructions on the biscuit can, which is usually about 8 minutes or until the crust starts to appear light brown. Remove from the oven and serve.
Sounds easy, right? It is, and they are a huge hit with kids. My son who is a pretty picky eater absolutely loves them. Let me know if you have any questions, or any kid-friendly recipes you’d like to share.

Well, I’ve decided to make this blog mainly about parenting, motherhood in general, being a single parent.. and of course children. It’ll be random at times, like any other blog, informative at times, and hopefully somewhat entertaining. I will definitely do my very best to be creative, but sometimes unoriginality may strike. No, unoriginality is not a real word.
In this blog I’ll introduce my son. He’s not your average 8 year old boy. Most mothers think that about their children, right? My son is pretty amazing, even if I’m the only one who thinks that. 
He’s extremely intelligent, one of only 2 students in his school in GT (gifted and talented), and very intuitive for his age. Eric, in his mother’s eyes, is nothing short of amazing, and I’ll be singing his praises a lot in this blog I’m pretty certain of it. As you will come to learn, I am very proud of my little man.
He’s not completely perfect, however, but who is? He’s got a smart mouth on him, always has to have the last word, and can sometimes be totally lazy. He has selective amnesia at times, as well as selective deafness. Meaning if he doesn’t want to hear something, he won’t, and if he doesn’t want to remember something he was told.. he “forgot”.
He’s got his own personality, though, like everyone.. and he’s capable of making his own decisions for the most part. I try to let him make decisions for himself while at the same time guiding him in the right direction. It’s not always easy. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t let him decide everything, but you have to give your kids the freedom to choose certain things. They are people after all.
Anyways, this is really all I have time for at the moment, but I will definitely have more to go over at a later time. I hope everyone who visits here enjoys reading and will come back to read more.
