Four Unique Personalities

Having four children of my own, I'm often amazed at how different each of my children are. After I had my first child I really believed that most of his personality was being shaped by "nurture", and how my husband and I were parenting him. That theory was completely blown out of the water after having our second child. She was so completely different from the very beginning. By the time our third and fourth child was born, I was beginning to see how much of their personalities mimicked all of the stereotypes of the oldest child, the middle child, and the baby of the family.

I'm enjoying seeing how each of my children's personalities develop, and how that is influenced by many different factors. I find it fascinating how their birth order plays a role in their personalities. I read a very intereresting book about birth order, The Birth Order Book by Dr. Kevin Leman. This is a great read for anyone, and especially those with children. Dr. Leman even examines the different career paths based on birth order. Dr. Leman even pokes fun at himself for being a "the typical baby of the family". This book is a must read, and it makes a great discussion book for bookclubs and mom's groups. I would love to hear thoughts from others who have read this book.

My Four Blue-Eyed Kids
Our Summer Picnic

I am so excited to begin my new blog. I have so many things I would like to share with other moms and I would love to hear back from you. Please let me know topics you would like to hear about. Although I am a busy mom of four active kids and our life is very hectic at times, somehow I always manage to include small tidbits of beauty, fashion and humor in our lives. Sometimes it is making sure that my girls have the properly matched accessories for their outfits and sometimes it is the love-notes that I include in their lunchboxes. I am always open to controversial topics such as children's vaccines, nutrition, discipline, etc. You can expect to read about all the latest hot topics concerning our children's lives and sometimes you can expect to just be entertained. I promise you will never be bored!
