Helping Our Kids Want to Become Adults
by 2 Comments
Helping Our Kids Want to Become Adults Did you see the New York Times article about parents letting their teenagers have S-E-X? In the family home? Following the example of parents who host their kids' drinking parties because "at least it's happening in my home where I can supervise," these ever-so-modern mommies and daddies helicopter over their teenagers' sexual experiences much as they've rotated above everything else: to quote the parents … [Read more...]

Enjoy Your Candy Without The Junk with Unreal Candy

Enjoy Your Candy Without The Junk with Unreal Candy I am as guilty as the next person when it comes to l ving chocolate.

If you break it down to just your child... an average child bringing their lunch to school creates 67 lbs of waste a year, adding to the 3.5 billion pounds of lunch box garbage generated … [Read more...]
Wordless Wednesday | First Day of School
by 13 Comments
Wordless Wednesday | First Day of School It’s so crazy to me how short summer feels now that I’m an adult. In all seriousness... didn’t we start school after Labor Day when we were kids? I seem to remember it was almost September and we got out for the summer at the end of May. I’m not sure how/why the school year is longer, but as the Mom it kind of stinks to only have 2 1/2 months of summer with them. Anyway, enough ranting. Here is … [Read more...]
