Another installment in my Positive Discipline articles. I’m inspired by the iPhone app I recently got called Positive Discipline Cards, which helps me resolve problems by providing quick, simple positive discipline techniques at the push of a button. I’ve been playing with it a lot, and in many cases, putting it to work. In fact, […]

That Hideous Feeling

I’m hideous. That’s it. End of story. No question about it. That’s how I feel right now. Since getting serious in the blogosphere six months ago, I’ve come across lots and lots of posts and blogs about losing weight to feel better about yourself. I kind of skimmed over a lot of that as I’m […]

I’ve decided there are two levels of mom experience: new mom and old mom. You are one or the other. Sure, you can be varying degrees of each, but you’re still one or the other. Exactly when you step from new to old is different for every person. But make no mistake, there is definitely […]

I’ve had such a wonderful response to my Positive Discipline posts and have received many questions in both comments and e-mail regarding this parenting technique. It’s been really exciting.

Here is photographic proof that you should not do anything in front of your children you don’t want them to copy. They’re such little sponges. 🙂 Yesterday afternoon Hubby just had to get out and mow the lawn. It had been a couple of weeks and we were losing toys, gardening implements and small dogs […]

I really should have bought a lottery ticket this week. I’m serious. First I won the D-List Blog Party scavenger hunt drawing ($100 to spend at Target), then I won the On Top Baby Bows giveaway where I got to choose these super cute little handmade bows for Cuteness (check out her neat stuff, but […]

Telemarketer Fun

I’ve found that there is a certain level of need in my life to laugh until I pee. Before finding some great spots in the blogosphere, I regularly turned to Ze Frank and his craziness. In my now regular tip of the hat to the Mayor of Crazytown and her weekly rename of Friday funnies, […]
