Foods cause behavior problems

What do you think?
We have always tried to limit certain items from our diets, or rather our children’s diets. Artificial colorings, artificial flavors, artificial sweetners, preservatives and on and on. It just makes sense not to introduce these man-made, often byproducts into their little bodies.
Whole foods, whole grains – that’s what we strive [...]

First Official Day

Well, after much ado over getting all of our materials, we finally, officially started school.
I realized while moving letter tiles around the white board with RePete that he doesn’t know his lower case letters. All this time, he’s been singing ABCs, he’s been pointing out letters, saying all of their sounds and so I [...]

How to K1ll your k1ds: Part II

Sunday was a nice day and we hadn’t made plans, so I talked BN into gathering the troops and going Letterboxing.  We decided to finish the job that Pogo and I almost died from gave up.
If you’ve never heard of Letterboxing and you like to hike, follow clues and use a stamp pad (woohoo), [...]

Our School Room

…leaves a lot to be desired.
First I have my desk, which started as the boy’s desk. All of our WinterPromise goodies are on top with the rest in the filing folders to the right of the desk. The cabinets above the desk are not available right now for school stuff. I have [...]

Curriculum 2008-09

This year I wanted to make things easier on myself by purchasing a “ready-to-go” curriculum. That didn’t go as planned. First, I researched Sonlight and while the books were great choices, the integration of religion was not. I prefer a more secular approach to schooling. I checked out Ambleside and it [...]

More isn’t better

Apparently this saying is true. Some fool came looking for something, used every word they knew related to that subject, and somehow ended up with me.
Search: tit milker boob pump machine nipple lact
Somehow, I don’t think they found what they were looking for. Although, I may need to rethink my content.

Boyly Moments

That is a play on Boy and Girly.
I think little girls are great. If I had little girls, I would have been happy. But I didn’t. I had little boys. Oh, okay and truthfully, I like little boys better than little girls. They whine less, for one.
I know people who [...]

Our Future Proctologist

My husband is the King of Too Much Information when it comes to our kids. I like to keep our kids informed also, but know when to stop.
So one day we are on the subject of getting physicals and BN somehow blurts out that at 40 years old, men get a rectal exam.
Pete: [...]

Independence Day 2008

….was such a weird thing to me. First, we declined invites to BBQs because RePete wasn’t feeling so well and had had a fever for the last two days. Mystery Fever! So we ate at Kelly’s Tavern. Good food by the way, but so not a Fourth of July cookout.
Then we [...]

Mama said there’s be days like this…

I’m not currently having one of those days, but I want to talk about two baby products that have been on my mind lately.
First is this chair? The Bumbo Chair.

Where was this when mine were trying so hard to sit up? Or when I was trying so hard to confine them to a [...]
