Not Your Everyday Gift Ideas for Grandmothers on Mother’s Day
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008She’s your Mom…or maybe your Mother in Law. Maybe you have a great relationship…maybe you don’t. The bottom line is she is your little one’s Grandmother. Grannies are awesome people in a child’s life. They mean so much to many of us. We need to take the time to show them how much we [...]
Homeschooling: A Green Solution?
Friday, May 2nd, 2008Another Earth Day has come and gone, and lately I’ve been thinking…
…about the recent ruling in California against homeschooling families. Here in Southern California the state “religion” seems to be recycling, conservation and environmentalism. I’m all for recycling. I’m all for taking care of the earth God entrusted to us. My husband and I do [...]

Kate: “No, like my parents grounded me.”
Jane: “That’s like so wrong!”
Kate: “I know! Like [...]
Update on our week without TV
Wednesday, October 10th, 2007Here is my update. A week without tv was actually harder than I thought it would be. During this time I realized how much I relied on some of the kids shows to occupy my two year old so I could get stuff done (i.e. school stuff, computer work, house work, etc.). So because of [...]
A Week Without TV
Monday, October 1st, 2007Due to my oldest daughters bad additude we are going this week without tv during the day. It surprises me how much influence the tv can have over our kids and even ourselves. So because of additude issues we have decided we are going to eliminate this influence over my kids lives until they realize [...]
Oh My _____ …
Monday, September 17th, 2007My daughter posed a intriguing question to me the other night. At first, I thought I knew the answer, but then I thought…hmmm….this is a thought provoking question…
She asked me if it was wrong to say. “Oh, my God; Geez; Gosh, Jesus, etc.” Before I could answer…and this is why I was stumped…she reminded me [...]
