revenge on bullies that is!
Perhaps I won’t ever be able to come face-to-face with my own bullies, but I can deal with the bullies in the lives of my kids. Or better yet, I’m teaching my kids how to deal with their own bullies.
Last night after the whole haircut fiasco the one son that […]

Hair today, gone tomorrow

Last night I had the painful experience of taking four teens to get their hair cut and some highlights.

When asked recently what I thought about having guns around the house, I have to say, I think it’s a necessity, especially living on a farm […]

Should children sleep in their parents bed?

“Fairy stories are more than true, not because they tell us there are dragons, but because they tell us they can be defeated.”
