The capricious muse or Hermes, patron of thieves - who not to rely on when writing a book 
by Galia Oz

As I was searching around the internet for fun ideas to teach my younger daughter more about Hurricanes and the recent weather here in Illinois that has been affected by them, I found this fun website that has tons of great Science Education for kids.



It looks like a great place to find fun information about a variety of things including hurricanes. . .



And additionally has a huge selection of science subjects just perfect for a rainy day, or additional learning for a school project.



This is not a paid post.  I just personally found this website to be fun, informational, educational and one that I will utilize with my 9 year old for weekend or rainy day fun.  Personally I would prefer she be on educational websites like this one than playing Minecraft all day!

Do grandma and grandpa live too far away for the kiddos to see often?  Do you wonder how they are doing and if you should be checking up on them more?  How about a fun way to show you care just in time for Grandparent's Day!?!

Have you ever wanted to do something a little different as your kiddos are getting older?  Love the water park attractions but maybe just a little side adventure might be what you are looking for?  Have anyone in the family that prefers something other than "water, water, everywhere?"  I have just the experience for you!

My family and I love going to Wisconsin Dells to spend days playing in the water parks and enjoying time together (actually more time apart now that the kids all go in different directions once we find our spot at the water park.)  The thrill of the waterslides, the laziness of the lazy river, the fun of the bucket dump. . . but what about those like myself that enjoy a little water but prefer something less . . . well. . .wet?

My two older kiddos and I had an exciting time trying out a new adventure we had

Please bear with me as I try to fix the issue caused by Photobucket trying to get me to PAY for an upgrade to use their site for hosting images.  

I am working on the blog myself so it will take some time to fix the issues.


I appreciate your patience and diligent following!

I found this great article on a fellow Mom Blogger's site.  I have personally been struggling with what is appropriate for my girls to wear for swimming versus what their "friends" and peers are wearing.  Here is a great article that talks about God's plan and how to explain modesty to my preteen and younger girl...


Girls for HIS Glory: The 411 on Modest Swimsuits: Hey Girls! Summertime is practically upon us! Yay! For most, summer means no school, days out on the lake, pool parties with friends, Camp...


Here are a couple pictures of our Mother/Daughter compromise - we are both very happy with the styles!




Overall although the choices were hard to make, my daughters and I had fun shopping, trying on clothes and having a "fashion show" in the dressing rooms and talking about modesty and how to handle peer pressure from other kids.

This is the second book in the new Hamelin Stoop series, a young adult fantasy. Hamelin's story began when he was found as a newborn in a tomato crate on the stoop of an orphanage in west Texas. Hamelin's first adventures with the Great Eagle led him through the mysterious cave and finally, across the footbridge. He has learned that his quest to find his parents and learn his true identity will not be quickly done or easy to fulfill. The Great Eagle leads him through the dangerous Waters of Death and Life and into the Land of Gloaming, where Hamelin is thrown into the midst of a war already being waged between the evil Chimera and the mysterious Ancient One. He must help two new friends find a kidnapped princess and recover a stolen jewel, tasks for which they have special gifts that must not be misused; a scarf of sight, shoes of speed, and a sword of death. But these quests are only part of the larger story, a story including Chimera's plan to use Hamelin -- a child of two realms -- to seize the kingdoms on both sides of the Atrium of the Worlds.

Since I have still not found any additional reviewers for Mom Loves 2 Read I will be posting as I can when I have time.

I am currently back in school to get my BSN, raising 3 very busy kiddos, have a very busy hubby who travels with work, back working part time as an RN in a wonderful Dementia Memory support Unit at a local nursing home, also working PRN for a sweet 3-year-old girl with special needs, trying to keep my home in some sort of non-chaotic order and attempting to review and blog in my "free time."

So please bear with me until I can get some new reviewers on board!  Have an interest in sharing your opinion?  Love getting FREE stuff?  Have some experience posting on blogs?
Feel free to contact me if interested in becoming a ML2R Review Blogger!!!
