Your Name:
Regina Sober
Blog Name
The Crazy Nuts Mom
What are the sexes and ages of your children?
I have a spunky 7 year old boy and a pre-teen 9 year old.
What got you into parent blogging?
Being big into couponing, I kept being asked over and over how do you do that, so I created a blog and would give them the page with all the information on it and say go here. It was easier than trying to make them memorize everything. The rest of my blog evolved from there.
What is your top parenting tip to share with our readers? Can be on any topic for little ones :-) (under 8s)
You need patience, sacasim and a good sense of humor so you don’t lose your sanity. Challenge them every day. They want that and thrive on it. We make everything (or try to) a learning experience.
Can you share a parenting advice post with us from your blog too; your favourite one? Why do you like this post? Please include the link for us.
http://thecrazynutsmom.com/2014/05/being-a-mom-is-hard.html I wrote this for Mother’s Day, a reflection on what made me a mom and the things I loved. And those things that I don’t like, but wouldn’t trade for the world. You don’t know how far you’ve come until you reflect back.
