Another Expensive Hobby

One of my sons has been into cars since he was little.  I sure liked it better when he was happy with a new Matchbox car.  These days, his new car addiction is RC cars.  It’s great that he’s learning all about all the components of the cars, how to fix them and how to build his own BUT, is not cheap!  After a day at the track, he is replacing parts right and left and HE (not mom) just bought himself a new nitro RC car that was well over $400 (he had to pick up a lot of ...

Suck the Spaghetti Contest

We were at an italian restaurant the other day when my kids decided to have a “spaghetti sucking up contest.”  My first reaction, as only a mom could react, was that someone was going to choke.  I quickly got over that and let them go for it. It was a close contest between three of my kids as the spaghetti slapped the sides of their faces and it was gone in seconds.  The other, he seemed to have a little more difficulty with this particular task.  I think Lady and the Tramp could have beaten him! www.mommywarriors.com

Giant Slip N Slide is Awesome!

Just an fyi…. If you are looking to rent a fun inflatable for an upcoming party, you HAVE to get a giant slip n slide. Kids of all ages, adults too, will have a ball sliding across this thing.  We had party for 70 kids to celebrate the end of school and with a pool, dunk tank, trampolene and the giant slip n slide, and hands down, the slip and slide was the bomb!  These two girls were on the slip n slide for hours and never got bored! www.mommywarriors.com

4th of July and Hot Dogs 3

Happy 4th of July to all our MommyWarriors viewers. In sticking with the hot dogs and apple pie theme, every year we watch the famous Nathan’s Hot Dog eating contest at Coney Island.  Congrats to Joey Chestnut once again who was victorious and almost beating the record, matching it at 68 hot dogs! In our house, the hot dog eating contest is all about who can finish and swallow one hot dog first.  This year, my oldest son was too cool to compete in the contest so it was amongst the other three.  Here’s the video, enjoy! www.mommywarriors.com

Yet Another Backyard Adventure

After the rattlesnake bite last week, I knew I had to try and put up some kind of barrier on our fence in an attempt to keep critters out. I spent the last two days putting up a metal 1/4″ mesh fence around the perimeter of our backyard. My arms are all scratched up from reaching over the top of the mesh to zip tie it to the existing metal fence. Between the sharp edges on the fence and the rose bushes on the other side, my arms look horrible. Finally, it was done, I wish I could say it ...

Wow, 6 Years Goes By Fast!

It’s hard to believe but Mommy Warriors has been online for 6 years this year! We’ve blogging away about what it’s been like raising all our seven kids .  We’ve gone from toddlers to teenagers, dirty diapers to body odor, rashes to zits, smooth baby butts to hairy legs and pull-ups to puberty.  Along the way, yes, we’ve had our bumps and bruises but, that’s all part of our duty as moms.  The kids have all grown and started to mature and so have we. We’ve battled deep in the trenches and strategized our next steps and still we all ...

My Crazy Kid

My kids are crazy. They grab my cell phone all the time and take wacky pictures and videos with it and then leave them for me to find them.  The video below,  I just found on my phone and I have no idea what the heck he is saying.  Something about “Eat This Not That?” www.mommywarriors.com
