Thanks Mary Ann. For Freelance Writers--Do You Keep a Journal Too? - Blog Entry16 Mar 2008 09:24 PM I agree. When we moved house last year I had boxes and boxes filled with journals. And yes, I do go back to them and pull ideas from them for my writing. A number of my Christian blogs have come from those journals. Debt Busters: Two Mistakes that Everyone Makes - Blog Entry16 Mar 2008 09:16 PM We were a one income family but our kids never realised we weren't well off financially and that some toys were second had like a swing set and scooter -repainted. All they knew is they were always fed and clothed and we were happy spending time with them and made a lot of our fun with games and picnics etc. I've just written a blog of 7 Tips for Christian parenting. Public Displays of Affection: How Much is Too Much? - Blog Entry14 Mar 2008 10:19 PM I agree about the lack of affection correlating with being insecure in the relationship. What Can You Tell from How a Child Colors? - Blog Entry14 Mar 2008 02:55 PM I noticed the different ways children color last week in a scripture class. Some insist on colouring in the exact colors of the picture they had been shown. As a general rule girls tend to color between lines more than boys, but not always. My son was neat at coloring. When my children were little I always tried to help them break out of the stereotypes and be imginative and end up with pink and orange skies or blue tres etc. Our daughter grew up to study art. I wonder how much was already in her and how much parents can foster and develop imagination. Movie News: Cursing Doesn't Pay - Blog Entry14 Mar 2008 02:43 PM I read these stats too in a newspaper in Australia recently.I wish more filmmakers would realise this and trim offennsive language etc. Public Displays of Affection: How Much is Too Much? - Blog Entry14 Mar 2008 02:37 PM My husband and I always hold hands and the occsiaonl brief kiss depending on the circumstances when out. See http://christian.families.com/blog/keeping-the-happily-ever-after More than that makes people uncomfortable I think and should be kept for private moments. One thing I have noticed is that older couples often seem more into the holding hands etc than young couples today (in Australia anyway) and i know organisations like Marriage Encounter, etc, aimed at improving marriages encourage this personal holding hands etc contact. Teaching Children Through Song - Blog Entry13 Mar 2008 09:48 PM We use a lot of Colin Buchanan songs. Our grandchildren love him and know most of his songs. Colin is an Aussie singer. Good tunes and biblical truths presented in a fun way. Last week at our Scripture class we taught the simple John 3:16 by Jenny Flack. We taught that years ago at a kids club and my daughter, our adult, says she still always hears that verse set to music. One More Reason to Quit Smoking - Blog Entry13 Mar 2008 09:36 PM No-one even mentioned these things years ago when I was pregnant with my son. Result was, I smoked through that pregnancy but had given it up before our daughter was conceived. I dealt with stopping smoking in my blog http://christian.families.com/blog/getting-rid-of-clutter 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 |
