My Life
One Year Ago
TamaraWell Its Been One year, Yup Tamara-Wilson.com has been online for one year as of today. Time to Party. I can’t believe its been that long. I have learned in all areas of life, parenting, business and just about me with this blog and have met some great people through the blogging community.
It has been a roller coaster of a year, I had to take a few months off as I am sure you have noticed over the summer because of family issues but its OK now things are calm and we are back to normal again well as normal as life can be with 2 teens, a kindergartner and a preschooler in the house and DH working funky hours. But things are better now which is a huge relief I am more repaired for any of the hassles that may arise.

The Joys of Working at Home
TamaraOften times I sit and think to myself, Why did I choose to work from home? Well To spend more time with the family, to have a flexable schedule, and to be able to help contribute to the family financially. I took the summer off because of the craziness of having four children running around the house at the same time as trying to work was not my cup of tea.

Family Dinners Are Important
TamaraNot sure about where you are but there is always commercials reminding us about the importance of family dinners.
Tonight it reminded me why, See we have dinners together every night DH is only missing when he is working that is the only time someone is missing. The boys both know that at dinner time your at the table if your eating or not. To me this 30+ minutes of the day is set aside from everything just to talk and discuss what is going on. Sometimes the conversations are silly, sometimes serious no matter the talk it helps us stay connected and keep the openness between us and the children.

Good Bye Summer 2008
TamaraWell Today Sept 21 is the Last official day of 2008. Should be a fun day in the sun celebrating what good things are out there and a day at the park having a nice picnic or something ourside. Well here in Washington that isn’t going to happen. It is rainy and cloudy with from the looks of it no end in sight.
Today I planed a fun day out with the kiddos however this is going to change to a fun day in with them. Baking cookies and making some play dough. Gotta have something fun to do since it is Sunday a day that is set aside for our family time together.

Happy 6th Birthday Brendan
Tamara
Wow it’s hard to believe that he has blessed my life for 6 years now. Starting with a lot of unknowns, lots of tests and lots of long Dr phrases that confused me since I was still kinda messed up from the c-section and pain killers. I am So glad that Ned was there to understand and help translate everything for me. After that long rocky start I now have a tudeish kindergartner who loves to drive me nuts.

Tell Me Thursday Sept 11
Tamara
This Weeks Tell me Thursday about Wordless Wednesday is pretty fun.
A few weeks ago Brendan and Becky were in the back yard playing then ran in side and said they found a new friend, a birdy. So I went outside to see what they were talking about. There was Becky trying to make a nest for the little bird out of grass and trying to feed it.
There is a nest above the door so Brendan stood on his tippy toes yelling Chirpy Chirp at them I asked him what he was doing he explained that he can speak bird and he was telling the mommy that he had her baby for her that she should come and get her since she was cold.
