Having a set time every day will help it become a routine which will help you to remember. Keep trying! Young Men: The Road to Eagle Scout - Blog Entry07 Jul 2006 09:10 PM Thank you for your comments. I really believe that achieving Eagle Scout helps the boys later in life. My husband has been chosen for jobs because he was an Eagle Scout. It is great that your sons are so involved in the scouting program. It is a lot of work for the boys, and the family does have to make a lot of time commitments as well. It is great that you have been so supportive of your boys! When you Have too Much Milk - Blog Entry30 Jun 2006 06:56 AM I believe that I had this problem with my second. I only fed him on one side at a feeding, and after awhile it sorted itself out. The worst part is the uncomfortable feeling of too much milk, but I never had to worry that he wasn't getting enough. Preparing for Emergencies While Visiting Walt Disney World or Disneyland - Blog Entry28 Jun 2006 08:49 PM I had a friend who was at Disneyworld during 9-11. They evacuated the parks for a day. It is important to realize that the big theme parks may be considered a target and you should comply with any evacuations or precautions that they may have for you. On our last trip they searched all bags, and strollers that entered the park. Great Books for Teenagers - Blog Entry28 Jun 2006 08:46 PM I love a lot of the books that you have recommended, and I guess there are a few more for me to go out and read. You did an excellent job recommending a wide variety of books. Another great author for nonreaders or reluctant readers is Avi. When a Spouse Is Less Active - Blog Entry26 Jun 2006 05:55 PM Those are great comments. Thanks for sharing! It is true that you should support your spouse through the time that they are not attending church. My husband's aunt was active for years and years before her husband joined just a few years ago. The family never expected it to happen, but they were all happy when he did. It seemed like a miracle. Family Home Evening: Language - Blog Entry26 Jun 2006 05:52 PM The family home evening manual is a great resource. You can order at www.lds.org. I've found that the most important factor with family home evening is consistency. Once it becomes a habit for eveyone it is a lot easier to do. A basic structure should include an opening and closing prayer, songs, and a lesson. We like to have an activity (something fun) afterwards as well. Growing up having refreshments (something sweet) was what I looked forward to the most. Good luck! Secret Shopper? - Blog Entry24 Jun 2006 09:16 PM I'm signed up for a couple of different services, but I guess I have been too picky with what I am willing to do. I don't feel like driving very far away to make a few dollars with gas prices as high as they are. It is fun to go out and do the shops and I've enjoyed the restaurant shops the most. One problem I have is that neither my husband or I drink and there are several shops that require purchasing alcohol. I'm always sad because they are at the nicest restaurants around here. Oh well! Storing Comfort Foods - Blog Entry23 Jun 2006 09:52 AM I haven't read the book. It sounds interesting. I think that comfort foods do help us emotionally, and that at stressful times we tend to turn to them more. That is why it is so important to include them in food storage. Since most people won't be using their food storage unless they are in a stressful situation, it makes sense to plan for comfort items. Thanks for sharing! Canning Food - Blog Entry21 Jun 2006 01:36 PM It can be scary to do it on your own, especially the first time. I would suggest trying to find someone who already cans and have them show you how. You do need to be careful and make sure that you do it correctly, otherwise you do run the risk of your food becoming contaminated. My mother-in-law cans food, and because she controls what goes into what she is preparing it really is good. 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 |
