Lazy Moms have been too Lazy to blog!  Have you noticed?  Actually, I have been very busy at home, I just haven’t felt like telling you about it.  OK, that’s not really it either.  It’s the picture taking to go with the blog post.  It’s a pain in the rear. 

What’s your Monday like?  Mine has been pretty productive.  I have done 2 loads of laundry, taken the dog to the groomers, run 2 miles and I am fixin’ (Yep, that’s a word!) to go work on dinner.

So, is …

Do you have any traditions that your kids love? We have a few of them. I shared one with you here. Another one we have is Cinnamon Roll Friday.

During the school year I get up a little earlier on Fridays and make cinnamon rolls for breakfast. Don’t give me too much credit. They’re Pillsbury out of a can, I’m not Pioneer Woman! But my cooking is not the point.

The point is I am doing something special for my kids. I am making them feel loved. I am making Friday a …

Yep!  It’s my birthday today!!  And, since my birthday consisted of a tennis match, LML and I celebrated yesterday.  But, it was more than a birthday celebration.  It was a back to school celebration.  Even though LML and I saw each other plenty of times this summer, we so needed some quality time without our kids!!!

We got dressed up and went for a yummy lunch.  We had sushi.  Do you like sushi?  My Mom says she doesn’t like it, although I swear she hasn’t tried it.  She says she has, but …

Pssst! Today is Lazy Mom Amanda’s birthday! I’m sure she’s napping right now. After all, what else is a Lazy Mom going to do on her birthday? If it was me I would have climbed back in bed after I sent the kids off to school.

Who am I kidding? I’m talking about my best friend who is training for a marathon. Her crazy self is probably out for a run! Please join me in wishing LMA a Happy Birthday!

Just in case you didn’t pick up on it the first 87 times we mentioned it, yesterday was our kids first day of school. We were ready! We stayed home Saturday night and had a nice family dinner and played some games. We worshiped together Sunday morning and had a great brunch with friends after church. We surprised our daughter and took her to get a cell phone that afternoon. And to wrap it all up we ate an early dinner at our favorite burger joint which happened to be …

In honor of the first day of school we have our friend Patti guest posting for us. Patti Ford is a wife, mother, painter, organizing maniac and writer of nonsense.  She is a fan of quiet time, wine and more wine.  On Monday, August 24th, if you listen closely you may hear her screaming for joy.  This doesn’t make her a bad person.

Are you a yahoo mom or a boo-hoo mom? My friend Lisa told me that her daughter’s school uses those terms. They say that at back-to-school …

It’s time for a giveaway!

It’s also time for our kids to go back to school. Monday is the magic day around here. In honor of that please leave us a comment telling us what you did or plan to do the day your kids go back to school. Are you going to get a pedicure? Are you going to lunch with a friend? Or are you cleaning house or spending the day at the office?

Leave us a comment and we will pick a winner Sunday evening. The winner will receive …

I used a tip from one of our readers and I am so excited to tell you about it.  Our school starts Monday and I had all 3 kids go thru the school lunch menu and tell me which days they want to buy and which days they want to bring their lunch from home.  Now each morning and I don’t have to wait for the kids to decide.  I know how many lunches need to be made.  I could even make them the night before and sleep …

I didn’t hear back from any of you on the first workout.  Of course, you don’t have to follow these workouts, but I am curious if you do.  And, I would just love to know if you are getting back in the groove of working out with me.  So far, so good over here in Lazy Land! 

Below is workout #2 from Trainer Dawn.  As always, consult with your physician before begining any exercise program and ask trainers in your gym for help with technique to prevent injury. 

Day 2 …

As a Lazy Mom one thing I would like to have more of is time to myself. It seems like I am always surrounded by people, which is a wonderful thing! But this Lazy Mom also needs some down time!

Imagine my joy when my mom called on Monday and asked if she could have the kids for a day! I certainly didn’t stutter when I answered her! So at 10:15 this morning I met mom at our local movie theater. I gave her the kids along with their overnight bags. …
