NanoWriMo: Always Wanted to Write a Novel? - Blog Entry

02 Nov 2006 10:33 AM

I did a BIAW once -- Book in a Week -- and I thought I wouldn't get very much done, but I really did. The goal was just to spill out as much as I could without going back to edit, regardless if it was any good or not. I thought I'd have to go back and do a ton of editing, but what I came up with in that week was pretty good. It's fun to do this type of thing when you're doing it with other people because you are cheering each other on and you feel part of a community.

Hold the Phone! Research States That Parents Should Pick Up Their Baby When It Cries - Blog Entry

02 Nov 2006 10:23 AM

You know, I think in-laws do more to throw off a parent's natural instincts than just about anything else on this planet. You take a new parent who is trying to do the best they can and introduce the in-law element, and suddenly that new parent is insecure and feels like they can't do anything right. 99% of the time, if a parent follows their instincts, they'll be right on. I have always picked up my babies and never regretted it once.

Teaching your Child to Stay in Bed - Blog Entry

What tips do you have for older children? :) We follow the bedtime routine and they know what's expected of them, but they sure pop up like daisies five and six times a night and I'm out of ideas.

Is it Time for Christmas Decorations? - Blog Entry

01 Nov 2006 09:37 AM

We grew up putting the decorations up the day after Thanksgiving and taking them down New Year's Day. Now that I'm married, I do it a day or two after Thanksgiving, but I still leave them up until New Year's. Christmas brings such a wonderful spirit into our home and I want it to last as long as possible. I will never put the decorations up around Halloween, though! That's a little too early!

I'm sure I speak for every mother out there when I say that SIDS is one of my greatest fears. Thank you for this article. Did they say how the testing would be performed?

Louise is a great lady -- I had the chance to hear her speak at our local library. She's touched so many.

ABC Family Halloween Rant - Blog Entry

I hate it when they put any kind of commerical like that into regular programming -- I especially hate the dating commercials that show up on children's channels. Save that stuff for after the kids are in bed and put it on the appropriate channels!

Hmmm -- wonder if the author will give me a kickback? Kidding, kidding!

Yeah, I knew about the songs, but not about the books. I'm definitely going to be reading more of them!
