I am so honored to join the ranks of the Cool Whip Queens at Naomi's place, Organic Motherhood With Cool Whip, today, with my guest post, "Who's got the peer pressure? My kids, or me?"
I love Naomi's About page, telling the origins of her bloggy domain. It's the perfect way to live.
Please stop over, and read "Who's got the peer pressure? My kids or me?" I hope you'll enjoy it, and I know you'll love Naomi. She is the first ever blog post I did on another blogger. And one of my first two followers. (told you she was that sweet.) As successful as she is as a blogger, and busy with her 2 children, she would be the only commenter for days on my site. Opening up her comments was like Christmas morning for me. I'll never forget her kindness to a new blogger.
Please stop over and get to know this kind hearted woman's site. I'd love to hear what you have to say on peer pressure and mothering over here.
Thank you!
We all live for comments don't we:) Have a great evening!
ReplyDeleteNaomi is great, isn't she? :) Okay, off to check out your post at her blog.
ReplyDeleteall righty then, i will stop by!
ReplyDeleteOk will go check out your sweet friend. And thanks for featuring this humble little kingdom over here this week. :o)
ReplyDeleteis it not up yet, or am i just clicking wrong...
ReplyDeleteOh Alexandra!!! Thank you so much for this lovely introduction. You are so so kind. And thank you also for agreeing to be my queen today. You know how much I love you from the bottom of my heart. I'm sending you virtual hugs and kisses through cyberspace, with lots of Cool Whip on top!!! xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteScared to visit...she might hate me if she's as nice as you say. Sometimes nice people are scared of me.
ReplyDeleteHeading over right now, darlin'! You had me at Cool Whip. :)
ReplyDeleteLots of yummy love,
Alex aka Ma What's For Dinner

I couldn't post over there for some reason, but I am soooo right there with you. It's like high school all over again.
ReplyDeleteAlex aka Ma
I love you, you Cool Whip Empress.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to checking it out!
ReplyDeleteIt got deleted from the other site...I couldn't see the verification word.
ReplyDeleteSo I'll comment here.
I used to be that way, but lately I am more concerned with my children having a moral compass than being just like everyone else. You're so right and so honest, having it all, wanting it all doesn' make it all better, doesn't make you a better mom or person. Only YOU can do that...for yourself and your family.
thank you for writing this..and I plan to print it out and put it up here in my office, so I can read it every day and know that if I raise good children, if I can be a better human and mom, that I have succeeded, even if I never get that 4 BR house or that minivan. I have everything I need.
Tried commenting there but it wouldnt let me. Wanted to say thanks for the reminder. How can we expect our kids to ignore it if we cant? I've always held true to the ideal of being different is best so people can notice you more. But it depends on how different you are being. LOL
ReplyDeleteYay Naomi and You!I'm on my way over!
ReplyDeleteHeading over now! And yeah, my mind DID briefly go to the gutter on your title....sorry.
ReplyDeleteWill do, after I check out the Celine post
ReplyDeleteGreat feature. it's amazing how we as adults forgot that the kids learn more for what we do than what we say. Especially the last one/body image. It doesn't matter how much you tell you daughter she's beautiful if she believes you are beautiful and you spend your time tearing yourself down.
ReplyDeletei visited you over there! you are so awesome and i think you are the guest posting GODDESS!
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed that post. We do set examples for our children so we can't bow down to peer pressure. It's a battle that'll never be won. So why participate?
ReplyDeleteEmpress, you are totally my Naomi. Whom I just discovered and love! Off to Cool Whip land...
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of coolwhip, but it comes in Organic?! What the WHAT?!
ReplyDeleteI am heading over now to read it. Love reading your posts!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Amazing how much of ourselves will reflect in those around us. Not too many people actually take the time to stop and see who they are effecting, especially kids who are so impressionable when they are growing up.
ReplyDeleteIll be stopping by. Sounds like an intersting post :)
ReplyDeleteThank you all for stopping over and meeting the loveliness that is Naomi.
ReplyDeleteShe encouraged me to start a blog, so it meant a lot to post there.
Thank you! You're all so great.
That is a topic I can see being entertaining. I shall read it now.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm... I know it is early, but can't seem to get my mind out of that gutter.
ReplyDeleteWill be on my way :D
ReplyDeleteI will head on over and check it out. The first followers are the best. They end up being the most loyal as well. And you're right, it's like opening up a present on Christmas morning. :)
ReplyDeleteI love Naomi! Off to check out your fab guest post now.
ReplyDeleteYou know you are awesome. This is why you are the Empress, after all. What an awesome post!
ReplyDeleteI have been a longtime lover of Naomi's but I fail miserably at making regular visits to her blog. Going to remedy that pronto.
ReplyDeleteYou are right---she is a gem!
I will go on over...
ReplyDeleteany friend of your is a friend of mine!
xxoo
I will always remember my first loyal commentors. You and Naomi are both wonderful!
ReplyDeleteJust read your guest post. Your thoughts are always so insightful. And I have to agree, being skinnier does not solve all problems. For one thing, you just get hungrier...then crankier...
ReplyDeleteYou're a terrific writer, I always enjoy you.
you convinced me!
ReplyDeleteOh comments...why are they so addictive? LOL!
ReplyDeleteLOVED your guest post, Alexandra! I wrote a longer comment on Naomi's blog but wanted to drop a hello here as well :-) Hope you are well!
ReplyDeleteThat was awesome Alex! Left you some words over there too (-:
ReplyDeletei'll stop over now.
