Super Nanny
Dude. Have you watched Super Nanny? We just got cable again for the first time in a couple years. Not much has changed in the television world. But Super Nanny? Holy cow. She’s new. I love me some Jo-Jo. We’ve actually been using a lot of the techniques she teaches and have seen a dramatic diff in Noah’s behavior. Unnnnn-believable. Who knew that a Naughty Bench could change the world?
One thing JoJo taught us is to keep the kids engaged. On cold wintery days, what do you do to keep sanity inside all day? Noooooo. You don’t make your kids watch Super Nanny or Girls Next Door with you. You play! You create! You use your imagination. Here’s what we’ve been doing…
Use t-shirt paints to make colorful t’s…
Paint a bird house— makes a fun Christmas gift for family!
Sing songs, build castles and garages with VHS movies for dolls or matchbox cars.
Kids are easy. And engaged, entertained children means less mischief, doesn’t it?
Build forts, make cookies, make ornaments and decorations, let the kids help you clean. What are you doing indoors on those blistery days?

It’s funny, but here we stay in the house more in summer than in winter! Right now it’s between 70-80 every day. I’m loving it!
In August though, it was 110 every day so we hide out in the AC. LOL And yes we go a little stir crazy. I should have started making Christmas presents in August! LOL
