Since school started in September we’ve been driving past the same crossing guard four mornings a week on our way to my son’s school.

{The Puzzle}
One thing I really like to do, but don’t do very often is put together a puzzle. From time to time my extended family will put one together during the HoLiDaYs. It’s a great time to visit with them and enjoy their company. Depending on the size of the puzzle it may take us hours or evenContinue reading “{The Puzzle}”
Always Give Thanks
If there was one thing my mother made sure my sister and I learned growing up it was that if someone does something nice for you, you need to say ThAnK YoU or write them a thank you note.

Conversation Etiquette For Kids {& Adults Too!}
I’m not exactly sure where I picked this up. {Thinking it may have been in James Dobson’s book “Bringing Up Girls”.} Anyway, I love it and wanted to share it with you. Teaching children conversation EtiQueTte, can be analogous to playing “catch”. In order for this game to be fun and to continue both players need toContinue reading “Conversation Etiquette For Kids {& Adults Too!}”
{Just Swallow}
Remember being a kid and your mom giving you NaStY tasting MeDiciNe? The only thing you wanted to do was spit it out! Well, that is a lot how taking correction can be.

MaN’s BeSt FriEnD. That’s what our dog, Walter, was to my husband, Scott. They were best buddies. Sadly, ‘ole Wally went to Dog Heaven yesterday. I say “sadly”. However, Walter did have a full life.
