A Much Needed Break!

Today, my husband and I, celebrate 10 years of marriage….woo hoo! I think it is something to fly to Hawaii for, but my husband says that people who celebrate every piddly anniversary just have low expectations. “What… are they afraid that they won’t be together by their 25th anniversary? That really speaks volumes about their […]

Glorifying Teen Pregnancy?

 
 We heard about Jamie Lynn Spears and gasped in shock, as we bid adieu to “Zoey 101.” We saw the headlines for the new NBC reality show “Baby Borrowers” and wondered who the heck would allow a snot nosed teenager to borrow their baby. We caught wind of some odd teen pregnancy pact and rolled our eyes […]

Lessons Derived From A Tragedy

I struggled with whether to post this glimpse of Scott Terrill’s life. I would hate for his family to think that I’m sensationalizing this whole ordeal and the pain that this family is going through, as a result. However, my heart feels the need to shed light on this subject as an example of what the […]

Families Who Share Sleeping Space

Let’s talk about the idea of family bed sharing. Is it a means to forming strong family bonds or a way to ensure that kids will never sleep in their own beds without a struggle?
In our house, the rule of thumb is that once the kids are weaned to a bottle, they are expected to […]

Sparkling Toilets Courtesy Of My Lil’ Potty Mouths

I took the advice of a reader, cannot remember who it was now, that suggested having kids who curse, clean a toilet. Guess what? It works! The child who was having the biggest problem of curbing his cursing, has quickly learned how much fun scrubbing a toilet is not. I think that he figured I would […]

Balance…what balance?

Whether you have one child or fifteen children, creating balance in your home life may seem impossible. For example, my children are out for the summer. We are trying to follow a summer home-school program that allows the kids to retain their acquired knowledge. I have six kids who participate in the program, all ranging from […]

Whatever Happened To Clothed Courting?

“Geez…what next?” This was my first thought as I read the headline on MSNBC: “Teens sending nude photos via cell phones.” Then I read the article. One of the sentences written in the article, was even more shocking than the fact that this is happening. “Many of these pictures are falling into the wrong hands…” (Stephanie […]

Keep It Up, By Keeping It Off!

 
It seems that the continually rising number of children who are considered obese, has hit a peak and is at a stand still. Will this cessation in the increase hold, or will people revert back to their old ways? Summer is here and families will be vacationing. Will the break prove detrimental to the ability to keep […]

There Should Be Tougher Penalties on Brats

Frankly, I have to say if a parent doesn’t believe in tough penalties or punishment they should keep their child O-U-T of public schools.
A few weeks ago a little twit in my son’s class spit in his teachers coffee cup.  The teacher didn’t find out until TWO days later!  The kid was suspended for […]
