I just tried a new product that I find helps me stretch my hair color dollar. (Yes, I'm one of the many who are unable to embrace the gray.) I picked up a bottle of John Frieda Luminous Color Glaze and although they tell you it doesn't cover gray, guess what? It does! I can go twice as long without coloring and my hair looks extra shiny and healthy with very little work. (A key factor for a mother of an 18-month-old!) Spending Time With Each Child - Blog Entry29 Apr 2006 02:47 AM These things are SO important for ANY family, not just LDS families. Taking just a few moments for each individual child can make a HUGE difference in a child's self-esteem. Encouraging siblings to support each other is also so very important to creating a healthy family dynamic. Great blog! What Does Frugal Mean to You? - Blog Entry29 Apr 2006 02:36 AM You are so right! By being frugal, I can stay at home with my son, my husband and I can have the retirement of our dreams and we're able to provide our son with a healthy savings account as well as a college fund. These are much more important to us than new cars, designer clothes and status symbols. The Family Bed - Part 1 - Blog Entry29 Apr 2006 02:28 AM I'm in favor of co-sleeping. My son spent 9 months being lulled to sleep by my heartbeat so it just seemed cruel to put him in a silet room where nothing was familiar and expect him to go it alone. For his first month of life, he did his best sleeping on either mine or my husband's chest, with his ear to a heartbeat, as we reclined in a Lay-Z-Boy chair. I don't recommend this particular method, but it did work for us. They grow up so quickly as it is. Let them be little. Let them hear your heartbeat if that is all they need. Christian Families in the Community - Blog Entry29 Apr 2006 02:19 AM What a wonderful example! I hope to raise my children this way too. Sadly, my parents were raised to run in the other direction and they have missed out because of it. They are still afraid of anything or anyone that is different. If you ask me, it is a sad way to go through one's life. Kudos to you for teaching your children how to be open, loving Christians. Tzatziki - A Yummy Greek Dip - Blog Entry29 Apr 2006 02:12 AM My husband and I both spent several years in England where Doner Kebab (Gyro) stands are everywhere. We absolutely loved them but had the worst time trying to make them at home once we returned to the U.S. (Try to find good Greek food in Montana! We tried a so-called Greek restaurant but they used Caesar Salad Dressing on their Gyros! Even the State Fair was a disappointment as they used sour cream.) After years of searching, I finally found a great recipe for preparing the kebab meat and Tzatziki at home. Lamb is too expensive, so we usually make it with beef, but the right Tzatziki recipe makes that sandwich SO GOOD! I think most Americans are really put off by the idea of eating a yogurt based dip/sauce on meat. It is too bad for them. For those of us who have had the right tzatziki, it is just heavenly. Genealogy Rocks! - Blog Entry20 Apr 2006 08:15 PM Hello, cousin! I thought i recognized some of those names - I too am a descendant of Charlemagne. Of course, it was a much smaller world back then ;-) And Peter Wept Bitterly - Blog Entry15 Apr 2006 01:59 AM I knew a great man who was an amazing teacher (and Provost) at a private, Catholic college. He was LDS but his religion was never an issue in the classroom. When somebody within the faculty questioned the fact that the Provost of a Catholic college was LDS, he was promptly removed from the position and the number of classes he taught was cut from full to part time. This man had a family consisting of a wife and seven children. He never fought what the student body knew was a huge injustice. Now I understand why. 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 |
