real moms, real information, real life
I thought I was the only one. That every other mom out there somehow had it figured out but me. I … [Read More...]

Breastfeeding is something that is near and dear to my heart. I breastfed my son until he was … [Read More...]
As February enters most of us start thinking about the end of Winter and looking forward to Spring. … [Read More...]
We all like to feel safe and secure in our daily lives, but sometimes the unthinkable happens and that safety is put in question. I don’t like to think about all the “what if’s” in life frankly. As we quickly jet toward the year 2012 many of us are thinking about those ominous “New Year’s [...]
The holidays can be an overwhelming and often stressful time for families (parents in particular), something I know it was never intended to be. The simplest and most amazing story of joy and hope was given to us on that very first Christmas, but it’s so hard to see past the glitter, lights and dollar [...]
Planning the food for the holiday can be fun or stressful and overwhelming. Around here, cinnamon rolls are pretty much a tradition now for Thanksgiving and Christmas morning. Yes they are a lot sweeter than what I typically serve, but when tempered by scrambled eggs, hash browns or country potatoes and applesauce or another fruit, [...]
As you can imagine, life with my Twinky Dinks (aka. twins) in school has been interesting to say the least. Through the years I have given you all tiny little hints into the reality of life with them, but the full truth… well, I may have underestimated your ability to handle it. I apologize! In [...]
The beauty of giving is that it never ceases to be satisfying. As nice as it may be to receive gifts, personally I get far more pleasure out of giving. In today’s very self-centered society, it is more important than ever that our children see the true gift of giving to others. This holiday season [...]
Shoes should be a simple item, a daily part of your wardrobe, functional to protect feet from things on the ground and also keep them warm… right? Well, this is what I thought along with the fact that it’s a simple matter when you take them off somewhere they stay there or if you put [...]
Little boys and toast have been and probably will forever be an interesting combination. Toast can become anything they decide it is. Often it’s something they randomly see in the bitten-from piece and it’s usually an interactive moment. This morning I found myself amused at Monkey having one of those moments with his toast. Of [...]
The holidays can be a time of fun, laughter, anticipation and joy. But all too often, it’s also filled with frustration, stress and dread as we attempt to be too many things to too many people. Today I found a solution, but you have to hurry to get the discount price. Today only if you [...]
I love taking pictures, in fact I’m very nearly to the point that my camera doesn’t leave my side. Having fun accessories for my camera though isn’t something that I thought would be a big deal to me, I was so very very wrong. I may not have a top of the line camera, but [...]
As the holidays approach, I have two dilemmas. One is purchasing gifts that are affordable and that all the kiddos on my list will love. The other dilemma is keeping my boys entertained through holiday break. Although the second of my two dilemmas may seem basic, there’s definitely a different atmosphere about Christmas break than [...]
Welcome to A Frog In My Soup! My name is Shera and I am the mom behind the "Soup" or the "Frogs" whichever you happen to be reading about. My hubby and I have been married for 18 years. We have 6 sons that frequent these pages: CJ (16), Salesman (13), Tater (12), J-Man (8) & The TwinkyDinks (or Tweebs depending on their mood) - Bugs & Monkey (6 & 6). This blog is a little piece of my life, a large piece of my sanity and even a bit of my heart thrown in. There are days I laugh … Read more
