Members can share recipes that are a sure fire win with kids and families and healthy too! Lunch ideas and snacks are a great addition as well. Be sure to tag with your main ingredients! Frugal meals are awesome too! Share how you save!

Late again
I'm always late. Late to doctor appointments. Late to family get togethers. Late to parties. Basically, I don't want to be too early (for various reasons) so I wait till the last minute. Then, I either underestimate how long it will take to get th...

It only took 50 tries to get one that was even halfway decent. LOL! I'm looking very tired these days. Sigh . . .

Thanks for the blogger tip! I've always had trouble if I start a draft post I can't change the date and time it posts so thank you! Live and learn daily, huh? ;-)

Thanks Debbie! Thanks for inviting me! I'm starting to feel a little stretched, between this and the blog and MomLogic and Facebook and Twitter ... AAAAGH! But yeah ... I'll pop in when I can. :) I'm sure I'll need to, given the subject matter and being the mom of teens.

Ah yes, the long and winding road of hormones. Fun! I'm sure I'll be asking for ideas about teens. Queen Teen (that's what I call my daughter) may have disabilities, but she is STILL just a kid trying to grow up.

Thanks Gal! I have to say, whatever the shape? The pancakes are fabulously tasty and no one knows how healthy they are! And, loved the party planning article, though I was also quite flattered!

I can't wait for tomorrow! And, um, congratulations!!!

Me too! TV in my own bedroom but it doesn't promote those issues that some specialist say why you shouldn't have one there. And, the play room has one. But, not in the kids rooms. I feel that I'd never see my Lil'Gal!

Oooh! Feb's been released! YAY! I'm on my way!

LOL! I just read your pitch to Lis "I have a new Laptop with lots of battery power!!!" That's so funny! I *heart* my LT. I won't have internet access while traveling to Houston this weekend.... ;-( Withdrawals will come quickly....

Have a safe trip! Oh, and I like the bright blue around here!

Competing with iVillage! Love it! That comment gave me butterflies! Whoop!

And the Winner Is...

Sorry it took me so long to announce the winner to my $50 gift card giveaway. Since this was a work project, I worked on it during working hours, but I needed to remember to have my lovely assistant to the drawing when she was at home and not on Wii! We got it done, though. We had a lot of entries but can only have one winner.

My Dad

Most of you already know, but for those of you who did not hear, my father passed away last week. Over the last couple of months he has been struggling with various health issues and hospital stays. He has actually been struggling for several years with health issues, but this time, he just couldn't beat it. He did get to go home for a week and spend some time with family away from the hospital. In the end, it came quickly and he did not have to endure another long hospital stay.

Many of you ha… Continue

The Fears and Challenges of Being Honest with Your Kids

Last night my daughter had a homework assignment for health class. I've dreaded this class all year and am glad it is almost over. The next lesson they will be discussing is "safe sex" and abstinence. The assigment was a survey to discuss these issues with your parents as well as the emotional side of a sexual relationship.

My husband and I have agreed to be open and honest with our children even if we do not share all the gorey details at a young age. There are some things my daughter is capab… Continue

What's Your Personality

I need your help. The company I work for is doing a research study to determine the validity of a personality questionnaire we have developed. Our current questionnaire has 25 questions and we are trying to determine if a shorter version gives us the same results. We need 200 people to take these tests so we can compare the results. It will only take about 15 minutes to take both tests and you will get a copy of your results from the original test. I’ll be interested to see if you agree with the… Continue
