Marcie Jacobs replied to The Know It All Mom's discussion Are you a "Fun Mom"?"Loved this post!

The Know It All Mom replied to The Know It All Mom's discussion Are you a "Fun Mom"?"Thank you for chiming in. I agree with everything you said, especially the part about playing and interacting.

The Know It All Mom replied to The Know It All Mom's discussion Are you a "Fun Mom"?"Moments like this, that are probably once in a lifetime, are a gift. I can literally see the mud caked on their bodies and the smiles stretched across their faces. Thanks for sharing your special memory."
"I let my 2 boys play naked in the mud in our backyard in Arizona years ago and they were very little, I think like 3 1/2 and 2 1/2. Now they are 10 1/2 and 9 years old. They found these pics scrolling through my computer and laughed for a long time.…"
Show Me MaMa replied to The Know It All Mom's discussion Are you a "Fun Mom"?"I personally consider myself a " Fun Mom" I try my best to be part of my little girl lives and all her activities. When I say part of it I mean literally participating in some of her events. If she has a a play date, I will chat with the…"
Cindy Brooks replied to The Know It All Mom's discussion Are you a "Fun Mom"?"I hope I was a fun Mom. My two boys and I did a lot of things together. I'm a fun Grandma now. There is nothing too important that keeps me from playing with my grandson, making him a snack, or watching a movie with him. A few weeks ago he…"
Denise Townsend-Drouin replied to The Know It All Mom's discussion Are you a "Fun Mom"?"when I was little and we be in the car on our summer camping trips to visit cousins across the country we'd play car games such as how many license plates we'd see; duck your head when going under a bridge or through a tunnel, lift your…"
The Know It All Mom replied to The Know It All Mom's discussion Are you a "Fun Mom"?"I like what you said about building community. That's so true. And also how you incorporate words into fun. That's a suggestion no one else has submitted, but it reminds me of my childhood. My grandfather used to love words and would read…"
The Know It All Mom replied to The Know It All Mom's discussion Are you a "Fun Mom"?"I forgot about making games out chores. After a while, they just became chores again! Thanks for adding your thoughts, and for visiting my site!"
"I just left a comment at your site. Thanks for asking this question! I spent a lot of time riding around with my parents on business trips when I was little, which was great training for how to make anything fun. Even vacuuming can be fun if you…"
"I think I'm pretty fun, I like using fun expressive words (always increasing their vocabulary) in conversation with add facial expressions. I usually make up activities for the kids to do so, that they can experience some different things to…"
The Know It All Mom replied to The Know It All Mom's discussion Are you a "Fun Mom"?"Thanks so much for replying. What I'm learning is that "fun" is in the eye of the beholder. It comes in crafts, tents, hidden treasures, etc., but the key thing is to tap into our children's desires and explore the fun side in…"
Maggy Woodley replied to The Know It All Mom's discussion Are you a "Fun Mom"?"Ahem, I would like to "Think" I am a fun mum... but I guess my kids wil be the judge of that! I have a craft blog where I do lots and lots of crafty things with my toddlers, but also design to inspire others and make craft and art easier…"
The Know It All Mom replied to The Know It All Mom's discussion Are you a "Fun Mom"?"It sounds like thinking like a child is the way to go. Good for you, and nice creativity!"
The Know It All Mom replied to The Know It All Mom's discussion Are you a "Fun Mom"?"Good for you! It's hard for us, as adults, to unleash the child within, or in some cases even to find it! It's great the your kids can see that side of you!

Confession Time
