     Welcome to 2013. We have moved to El Paso Texas!! It is wonderful here!!  So this year I changed the name of my blog. I hear so many times people say oh you are just a mom. Yes I am just a mom, and I am proud of it. So I am going to blog what just a mom does!! 
     Liam is 3 1/2 years old now. I am trying to get him ready for school. My goal this year is to sit down with him each day and teach him something. Today we sat down and did dot to dots that I got off  the Nick Jr. site for free. I realized he knew  his alphabet, but he didn't know how to hold his penci,l or draw a straight line. So I went online and looked for some help. I found this cool blog called Preschoolmama. It has so many tips on how to help little kids with fine motor skills. So tomorrow we are going to try one of her tricks to help Liam learn to hold a pencil. I am excited to try her tricks and they look like fun activities that Liam will love!!! 
   I am hoping to be creative and be able to share with you things that have helped me be just a mom.
