This is an excellent quote that I would like to share with everyone.
“There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children.
One of these is roots - the other wings.”
-Hodding Carter (1907-1972)

When I was a kid, I really felt that the sole reason why my parents had children was for the cheap labor.  I mean, by the time I was 4, I already had several chores that were assigned to me; namely the bathroom.  I still remember my parents watching me while I was scrubbing the toilet and [...]

Today, I thought I would get back to supplying everyone with another fun recipe to make with your kids and decided that maybe what we need is something really gross.  Nothing can be much grosser than snot and I have two recipes that you can use.  One is for older kids since Borax is poisonous [...]

Bringing home baby is a wonderful experience and I know there was nothing more comforting than watching my kids sleep in their bassinet for the first time.  I loved that first month of my babies life, well actually I love all the months of my kids life, but there was a feeling in that first month that [...]

When my kids were young, I enjoyed spending my day rambling to them about what we were doing.  I think if someone was passing by they would have thought I had gone crazy [...]

After missing a day due to feeling slightly under the weather, I’m back and ready to talk again.  You might be groaning right now but I’m sure you will enjoy the next post and of course, since I missed Thursday, you get a special Saturday edition this week.  Anyway, enough from me, let’s get into the [...]

Welcome to the final post that I will be making on the topic of morals and family values.  I’m sure you are more than ready to move onto a new topic and tomorrow I will have a great recipe for you to use at home.
But back to our topic on teaching morals and family values.  [...]
