I'll think I'll use it for Christmas for grandparents and fill it with hot cocoa, since summer and hot cocoa don't mix. Talking To Your Kids About Drugs - Blog Entry02 May 2006 09:30 PM That's great. We discuss the same things with my six year old. He sometimes points out people who are smoking and comments on how bad it is. Destination Imagination: A Competition Unlike Any Other - Blog Entry27 Apr 2006 05:42 PM I was an Odyssey of the Mind coach for a 5th grade team when I taught school. It was an amazing experience and I loved it. Put Together a Dress-Up Wardrobe - Blog Entry22 Apr 2006 08:49 PM My girls love dress up clothes. I like the idea of faux fur. Don't forget a crown, the dollar store usually has some of those too. Spanking or Hitting? - Blog Entry04 Apr 2006 03:40 AM Wow, I don't think just because a child is spanked they will become an abuser and hit others. I was spanked as a child, not often, only when being punished, and never when my parents were angry. My dad would explain why we were being spanked, then we would receive our spanking and he would tell us he loved us and that he hoped we would not repeat the behavior. I nor any of my siblings became aggressors. I do occasionaly spank my children, usually my youngest because she does not respond to any other type of behavior modification. My middle child has rarely been spanked because it is not necessary. I think every child is different, what works for some doesn't work for others. I do agree that it should never be done in anger, because then it is abuse. Homemade Wheat Bread Part 1 - The Supplies - Blog Entry26 Mar 2006 12:52 AM A kitechenaid mixer will work just fine as long as you have a bread dough hook, or you can always knead it by hand. You can substitute whole wheat flour from the grocery store in place of the freshly ground flour. Just make sure that the flour doesn't expire too soon, and keep it in the freezer. Your bread collapses because there is too little gluten. If you use store-bought whole wheat flour you will probably want to use at least 1/2 cup of gluten flour instead of 3 TB, and then less whole wheat flour. Good luck. The $10 Mall Date - Blog Entry24 Mar 2006 06:33 PM How did you get your husband to do it? I don't think mine would. Breastfeeding: How Long Is Too Long? - Blog Entry01 Mar 2006 03:20 PM There is a limit to breastfeeding though. My husband and I watched a T.V. special about the topic and there were women nursing their 6 and even 10 year old sons. That is wrong. Breasfeeding when young is a beautiful, natural, healthy thing, but you have to know when enough is enough. |
