A Letter To My Goalie

March 10, 2020 By: Staceycomment

My darling second born, You didn’t go into hockey knowing where you belong. It took three years of Initiation level and another two of Novice before you  donned the goalie gear and everything clicked. For the record, during Initiation, you refused any offer of play goalie for a game. And I wasn’t going to push […]

Life Lessons: Raising Humans, Not Hockey Players

February 20, 2020 By: Staceycomment

life lessons

This might come as a shock to some, but hockey is not the be-all, end-all to my life. We certainly don’t participate in hockey because it is the only sport we deem worthy. In fact, if I was given the choice, my kids would swim competitively. It’s warmer for those of us watching. No, our […]

Chaotic Meal Planning

February 18, 2020 By: Staceycomment

Meal planning

Y’all, I need to make a confession: I am always one unscheduled activity away from starving my children. It’s not so much that I don’t do any meal planning. It’s more that most meal planning systems don’t quite work for the chaotic schedule I keep. Thank goodness the boys are happy with a snack (or […]

Mind The Gap: Time Management for the Chaotic

February 13, 2020 By: Staceycomment

Time Management for the Chaotic

When we first started hockey it took me far longer than I want to admit to adjust. My previous time management method of time blocking took a massive hit because it relied on very specific routines or at least a predictable day. For the most part, that worked fine the first year when both Boy […]

A Letter to My Youngest Hockey Player

February 11, 2020 By: Staceycomment

hockey player

My dear boy, my youngest hockey player, Do you know how often someone tells me how big the grin on your face is when you are on the ice? They marvel at the fact that you play for 50 minutes straight and the smile never wavers. The same people laugh when you skate by me, […]

Stories from a Small Town: Living on the Wildlife Side

February 6, 2020 By: Staceycomment

wildlife

So last spring there was a whole bunch of talk in the local Mom groups because we had a bear in the area. I’m not going to tell you I wasn’t slightly concerned or that we didn’t take any precautions at all, but I like to think I kept my cool about it. We reminded […]

Hectic House Cleaning: The Ten Minute Tidy

February 4, 2020 By: Staceycomment

Hectic House Cleaning

Let’s be honest here, my fellow hockey parents. There are not enough hours in the day. All the time management skills and life hacks in the world are not going to save us when we spend 7 hours at a rink on a Saturday and another three on the Sunday. We want a minute to […]

The HockeyMom’s 2020 Goals

December 31, 2019 By: Staceycomment

2020 Goals

Y’all, I spent most of December and January couch bound thanks to minor abdominal surgery. You know what happens when you are used to go go going and then can not go? If you’re me, you plan your 2020 goals. At least in one respect, the timing was impeccable. Since I knew this surgery was […]

What to Expect from House League Hockey Evaluations

August 22, 2019 By: Staceycomment

house league hockey evaluations, http://thehockeymomchronicles.com

All right, folks, it’s deep dark secrets time up in the Chronicles. I hate house league hockey evaluations. There, I said it. Turns out, I have a hard time with evaluations in general when it comes to my kids. This is not something I struggled with when I was a child, I didn’t get anxious […]

Prepare for Hockey Season: On the Go Dinners

August 20, 2019 By: Staceycomment

on the go dinners, http://thehockeymomchronicles.com

If nothing else remains the same, I know this: I always need to have a list of on the go dinners for the nights when hockey practice is at five o’clock and the boys get off the bus at 4:30. I need the back up plans to my meal plans for when things go sideways. […]
