Why Moms Should Get Out and Play

I live in Virginia Beach, VA where it rarely snows. When the weatherman usually calls for snow we usually get sleet instead or maybe a dusting. The last time we had a snow fall over an inch or two was in 1989 and prior to that was 1980. We really don’t get enough snow to make a snowman or have a snowball fight very often, but this weekend we did get a great snow.

We had about 9 inches fall and we have been enjoying the white stuff ever since. It is white everywhere you look. The first day the kids went out to play in the snow and I took pictures. I enjoy capturing them having fun, being in the snow and getting a snapshot of our life.

But yesterday we found the only hill nearby and took the boys sledding. At first I was the photographer and took 450 pictures of my kids, husband, one of my brothers and two of my nieces.

After everyone had been sledding for an hour I decided to give it a try. Well it was so much fun. I was laughing and had a blast so I went a few more times.

We moved from a small hill with a smooth spot to another spot that the people before us made a little ramp to sled over. Well I went over it sitting on the sled and ended up with my back side and legs in the air. I landed back on the sled but definitely took a hard landing on my back when I did. It was great and the picture will be a classic from that day forever.

We are going to take the boys sledding again today and I will be the first in line to head down the mountain.

My advice to all you moms- play with your kids instead of just watching them play. You will be amazed at how much fun it is and how much more fun you have with your kids.

By getting into the activity and playing with your kids you are also showing your kids you care, that they are important, and you do have fun with them.

    Well, primarily because mothers are very stressed inside their home following all the chores a day. Thats why I really dont know why are there some husbands who look for other woman in their life. Dont they think the sacrifices of their wife to their kids and to him? Just like Mr. Tiger Woods have done to his family. It was very annoying seeing a woman at bad times, being fooled many times by her husband. Getting sexually active to other woman is a mortal sin since its forbidden by the holy bible to make love with other unless to his wife.I personally don’t care that Lindsey Vonn made fun of Tiger Woods – and here’s why: Does the name Picabo Street ring any bells?

    yes! I agree that moms need to go out, have fun and enjoy life. There’s a growing body of evidence that bacteria grow resistance with time to the things that kill it – as per drug resistant TB, MRSA, and that’s why it might be a great thing the FDA is looking into triclosan. Triclosan, the active ingredient in most antibacterial soaps, is linked to affecting hormone levels, and was already banned by the EU. (Then again, the EU threatened to ban all water that does not come from France or Germany.) Non-antibacterial soaps are proven to be just as effective – so anti-bacterial soaps and overprescribed antibiotics might be causing more problems than they solve, and fighting a MRSA infection will send anyone running for payday cash advances.
