Creative Ways to Solve the Mysteries of Motherhood

It’s time for a few little confessions… I’ve been a mom for 21 years and teacher for more than 10 and I still feel like parenting in a mystery.  Just when you think you have it figured out you have another child or new student who defies all the typical expectations we’ve started to form.  Can you relate? 

Solving the Mysteries of Motherhood inspired by #MysteriesofLaura

One peek around the house or car and you realize something may have been spilled, or a broken piece to a toy and you wonder what happened. Why is this sock in an odd place? Where is the other shoe? How did that get broken? Don’t even get me started on the odd things I find at times after my kids have been playing off in a spot together for awhile. Do you find yourself solving mysteries at your house like me? As parent we find playful ways to ensure our kids are following our rules and expectations. Maybe a game of I spy or a friendly clean up song to get us moving on the right track again.   

The Mysteries of Laura 

The other big confession is that I kind of love watching TV… yes I said it out loud.  It’s the one time I get to sit back without my kids at night and enjoy a show.  It’s always exciting to see what’s coming out for the new Fall Season.  Do you have any tv shows that are on your list to watch?

I must admit that when I saw +Debra Messing in a few previews I was pretty excited, as a big fan of Will and Grace and Smash  I am totally thrilled to see her in a new role a MOM and a DETECTIVE on The Mysteries of Laura.  A role I think we can all relate to in our own homes as moms. With 10.43 Million viewers watching the pilot last week I’m guessing that I’m not alone in my little confessions of being excited to watch her new series!  

Solving Parenting Mysteries on Pinterest

So here’s the big scoop, I was inspired to create a pinterest board based on the idea of Solving Parenting Mysteries based on inspiration of her new show Mysteries of Laura on +NBC which ppremieres Wednesday, September 24 at 8/7c. Detective Laura Diamond who’s skills of cleaning up after her twin boys comes in handy cleaning up the streets of NYC.  I can’t wait to see the types of things her twins get into on the show.  Here’s my new Pinterest board I’d love for you to follow as we tackle this parenting thing together!  I’ll be sharing pins about Parenting Topics that we’re all trying to solve the mystery. 

Follow The Educators’ Spin On It’s board Parenting Mysteries Solved on Pinterest.

Discovering Parenting Mysteries through Youtube 



It’s always fun to take a peek into how other families are solving their parenting mysteries.  A few popular youtubers are sharing sneak peeks at parenting Mysteries in their homes…

  •  The Nive Nulls funny  Toddler Interrogation video 
  •  +Danielle Smith video  about her Active Sports Kids both in and out of her house
  • Eric Epoddle Video  


Hope you’ll join us on this Case as we solve the mysteries of Motherhood together!  Topics I’ll be looking for to share are Potty Training, Picky Eaters, Anger Management, Toy Storage, Scheduling, Chores with Kids and more!  Be sure to follow our Parenting with Purpose series for even more ideas!
