I am a Wonder Mommy! I wonder how to do everything I need to do. I wonder how to be a good mom to my kids. I wonder how to be a good wife. I wonder how to teach my kids good things. I wonder how long I can go without sleep...I wonder, I wonder, I wonder!
On this blog, I will share my ideas for an at-home preschool that I do with my children, ideas for surviving motherhood, library story time ideas, ideas for my various LDS callings, Family Home Evening ideas, and whatever other random ideas that I have. I borrow ideas from the world of great minds and will try to give credit as much as possible. Thanks for dropping by!
