Life Lessons: Harder to Watch Than to Live Through
Published August 20, 2011 | 
I’ve had plenty of hard things to live through in my life. I’ve learned a lot from all the things I’ve gone through though, so all the hard things were worth it in the end. They were hard, but all those difficulties and trials I went through made me who I am today and brought me to where I am today. Life lessons are always hard to go through. What I didn’t expect is for Life’s Lessons to be so hard to watch my children go through them. Much harder than going through them myself.

2 CommentsNew AAP Safety Guidlines – Bubble Wrap Your Kids Till Age 26
Published March 21, 2011 | 
Is this really what we’ve come to? Just about! Today the AAP came out with their new and improved car seat guidelines. Now, they are telling us that we have to keep our kids in a REAR facing car seat until they are 2 years old. And your child must be in a car seat or booster seat until they are 100 lbs or 12 years old. And no one under the age of 13 should be in the front seat. Ummm.. yeah, that’s all going to go over REALLY well with Junior High school kids!

Published March 3, 2011 |
Today I am thankful for our new house. It is simply perfect for us. The boys will have their own rooms, there’s a basement with plenty of room for a poker table. I have a huge kitchen, with all new(er) appliances. There’s a dog run, a laundry room, and a nice large pool. The only thing that could make this place even better is to be near my mom & sister….. well, how’s next door?

My Son’s Blog – Justice N Words
Published March 1, 2011 | I’ve been trying to get him to write down his stories and ideas for the longest time. Partially because I’m his mom/teacher and I know he’s got to “do the work” behind writing, but also because I’m a big fan… Continue reading

Published February 21, 2011 | 
Wanted: 1 Magic Wand (Used is fine as long as it still works), batteries not included ok. Must pack entire household with a flip of the wrist, and move stuff from old house to new house and office with out the need for a rental truck. Or at the very least will move all the heavy stuff from the house into the rental truck.. I’m not THAT picky! Serious enqueries only. Willing to pay a lot of money for wand, but still would like to pay no more than what it would cost to do the stuff myself . Will also take magic wand that will make my teen sons stop whineing about needing to pack and move, and put a happy face on when I ask them to do things…. LOL! Yea I know I’m dreaming about a wand that will make teenagers helpful!

Yes, I said “Liger” not tiger! A Liger is half lion and half tiger. I’ve been reading about all the controversy over Amy Chua’s book and essay on WSJ “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior“. Her book is “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother. Amy Chua

Published January 27, 2011 |
The boys are pretty independent now that they are both in High school. I don’t talk much about homeschooling anymore because I’m not doing much with their schooling. We use an online charter high school because I didn’t have the time to devote to their curriculum while running and growing my business. It was the easiest and best solution. That being said, I do supplement their education with projects and reports that I assign them to make sure that their education is going in the direction that I want it to. Today I saw a video excerpt that made me VERY thankful that I am homeschooling in Nevada, though. This could easily have been me and the boys.

Published January 19, 2011 | 
This is what we had for dinner last night. I made a couple of changes mostly because I used Buffalo flank steak instead of beef, and flour instead of cornstarch. I didn’t have any cornstarch, but didn’t know this until I had started fixing the meal so couldn’t go get it. LOL! But since when do I ever follow a recipe anyway?

Published January 17, 2011 | 
This weekend was a nice one. I got to see one of my best friends and her new little baby, got to spend some “quality” time with Steve, and even got to meet one of my long time customers face to face. There’s so many people I have to say thank you to, I don’t know where to start! Since I didn’t post yesterday, I figured I’d do a double helping of thanks though! Maybe more.

The Gilcrease Nature Sanctuary was established in 1970 and is a non-profit organization dependent upon the support of the general public for its survival. The Sanctuary offers a safe haven for animals of all types. We are dedicated to the continued public awareness of responsible pet adoption so that our facility will experience zero growth in the future in accepting unwanted pets. Through onsite classes on animal wellness, presentations, and tours of the facility we hope to encourage the thoughtful adoption of pets who will remain with their original owners.
