Win Passes to Butterfly World ($50 Value)


Motherhood for me has been a transformation. One way I've changed is that I'm more open to the simple pleasures in life.
We took K to the park yesterday afternoon and as she toddled through the grass searching for her favorite blade, I realized that her curiosity and sense of humor are like my battery. Sharing her delight in bubbles and ducks makes me more relaxed and less guarded. Following her lead, I have the courage to be myself more often. Her babyness is inspiring.

What are some of your simple pleasures? What simple activities do you enjoy sharing the most with your kids?

I'd like to give you two passes for Butterfly World. Answer the question (s) and I'll let you know who wins the passes by Tuesday, Feb. 2nd. I'll choose using random.org.

  2. I enjoy the times that Julian will just sit and let me cuddle him! These times are pretty rare now since we stopped nursing. =( In some ways, he is so independent now. I love watching the new things he discovers that he can do everyday but at the same time I want him to stop growing up so fast!

  3. Some of my simple pleasures can be something, anything that helps my family in some way. As far as what I enjoy doing with my kids, well I would say something as simple as baking cookies together and watching him eat them after they are done cooking.

  8. We love have our Sunday Dunkin Donut Day! We sit and I teach my little 2 year old Javin new things. Afterwards we head to Flamingo Gardens. He loves to be outdoors exploring and learning new animals. We feed the birds and pick up whatever trash we see. He is my little helper and learning so much everyday. I treasure the time we have on the weekend since I work mon-fri. Anything we do together is always a good mommy and son time!

  10. Life brings to us simple pleasures everyday but now being a mommy I am truly more aware of them. My son Brody can simply smile and it lights up my world. For me everyday taking a bath is a activity that Brody and I share that bring about lots of discoveries and a shared bonding. Whether we sing songs, blow bubbles, learn about our Body parts, Brody is always laughing about and making me realize how lucky I am to be a Mommy

  15. I like to lie on one end of the couch and my 2 1/2 year old son on the other end with a blanket on top and we tinkle each other with our toes. It's a daily ritual and Daddy is not aloud!

  16. It all depends on the day
    One day I'll be ripping game soundtracks straight from the game's files themselves and the next watching some retarded video about a kid shooting himself with a paintball gun

  17. I love dancing, singing and listening to music with my son. From the moment he was a tiny newborn I was always singing to him and had music on all day. I really enjoy it especially since the music we listen to are songs my sister and I grew up signing. He just turned one and now whenever I sing or turn on music he starts dancing, it is the cutest thing.
