Take out some photo albums or even just loose photos and look at them with your kids.
These could be pictures of your little ones or even photos from your childhood or wedding.
We looked at photos from this weekend on the computer. It was a very fun weekend with Max getting his yellow belt and the family going to the Kids Safety Fair. It was fun to look over the pictures and remember our fun weekend.
Make caramel apples with your kids. I did this last year and we created some great memories. I hope you enjoy these photos of us from last year.
Variation: One of our readers Tonii made this comment:
Lovin all the ideas!! Hey fun idea you prob
ably have already seen, but for the caramel apples
familyfun.com had a really cute idea. You use a melon baller to make little scoops of apple. Then you dip those in the caramel and put sprinkles on. We did this last year and it is awesome for the little kids. Keep up the
great work, I am feeling less mediocre already!
Here is the recipe for those caramel apples. There are a few reviews of it that are NOT raving but Tonii loved them and I trust her so you decide which you would rather do.
This is our first activity in the kitchen and I hope you are looking forward to more. We will have at least 2 days a month dedicated to cooking with your kids. Also, be sure to let you children help and plan on having a nice mess to clean up afterward…it’s more memorable that way. 
The library was fun but as always my kids were more excited about the cool toys they have there than they were about the books. I didn’t have as much patience with my kids yesterday so I tried to evaluate what I had done differently when I realized that we didn’t listen to any peaceful music so I vow to not forget again today.
FYI Oregon readers we just added you to the Events section. You’ve got lots of fun stuff going on for Halloween so check it out!
Congratulations Linds! Email me at mediocremomsguide@gmail.com with your address and we will mail you the DVD’s right away!
Help create a more peaceful environment in your home by playing uplifting music everyday for the month of October. Music can help clear your mind of all the junk that we let seep in and it also has a way of calming down your kids and I’m sure we could all handle a little more tranquility in our homes.
Get your kids together and pull out your photo albums or set up a slide show on your computer. Enjoy this time together celebrating the fun times you have had together.
This is a no guilt website! Organizing my photo albums is one of those things that is always on my to do list and never gets crossed off. The truth is your kids aren’t going to care if they are viewing photos from the back of your digital camera or from a miraculous scrapbook; they are just going to enjoy having mom right by their side talking about how cute they were as babies.
