Welcome to Mom's Marbles!

Let's face it. Motherhood can be tough. Sure there are tons of unforgettably fun moments, but there are also many that can leave us wondering why we got ourselves into this!

Don't worry! That's where Mom's Marbles comes in. Just like it says up there at the top of the screen, we bring you new ideas every day so mom won't lose her marbles.


Our names are Mary Ellen and Sarah. We are sisters who had 5 children between us within a 4 year period. With 5 busy little guys, we needed a resource to help us out when we felt a little overwhelmed or a little under inspired. We couldn't find it...so we pooled our ideas and Mom's Marbles was born. We, along with our awesome contributor Alexa, strive to be a shoulder to lean on and a friend to share ideas with for all of you moms out there!


Each day you'll find a tip or trick to help you get through your day.


It may be some fun games to play with your little ones, like these:

Or it might be a new way to let them explore their creativity, like these:

And other days you might just find a real lifesaver, an idea that will allow you a few extra minutes to yourself like these:


And even more ideas written especially for you!


And who knows moms better than other moms? That's why every Wednesday we bring you a fellow mom from around the web who will share her personal insight on keeping their marbles in our feature called Moms With Marbles. If you're interested in sharing your own insights, send us an email at momsmarbles at hotmail dot com.


So grab a tasty beverage, throw in a DVD for the kids (just this once), and enjoy a few moments clicking around Mom's Marbles!

How fun! I've kinda been changing my blog around to focus more on kid activities. Maybe we could piggyback off each other in the future?

I stumbled upon this website today when I was looking for something fun to do with jellybeans. I am a new blogger and my blog focuses on 365 days of celebration. My blog is similar to your blog, but your blog has inspired me. I love it! Thanks for sharing your great ideas.
