Dear Grandparents,
The fact that you have been parents before and raised your children to adulthood, doesn’t always mean you are an expert on the subject of rearing children. In fact, it means nothing more than you’ve had children and they survived x amount of years.
It’s perfectly fine that you offer […]
“I thought being the mother of a teenager was going to be sheer hell. Now that I’m here, however (my daughter, Sophie, is sweet 16), I can report that, yes, it is hard, but not in the ways that I had feared.
Just when she’s about to push me past the brink of my admittedly shallow […]
“We don’t know a millionth of one percent about anything.”
Thomas A. Edison
Have to admit… it sure felt like that on numerous occasions. I’m sure a lot of parents feel the same way the minute their kids hit the teen years. How permissive should you be. Should you allow them to make their own decisions when […]
For some reason pancakes made from scratch simply taste better than the mix… but I’m not above using the mix lol… it’s just that I saw this recipe that is supposedly easy enough for kids to help out with. I’m thinking that at some point, they will be old enough to cook us breakfast with […]
There is nothing quite like Christmas when you are a child (of any age) and it’s not half bad for mom and dad either. That’s why I’m sending you to Herrods for their Christmas breakfast.
“Start Christmas with the magical experience of a Harrods Children’s Father Christmas Breakfast.
We invite you to come and relax in […]
Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing up is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing. ~Phyllis Diller
Lol… you have to love the way this woman thinks, and she is dead on with this one.. well for the most part. As you probably know by now, I have two kids. They […]
Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside them was superior to circumstances.
Bruce Barton
It’s up to you as the parent to plant that seed inside your child at a young age and then by the time they are twenty something, they believe it to the point that they […]
Few things are more satisfying than seeing your own children have teenagers of their own.
Doug Larson
Oh, I have thought so many times about that and even now I’m grinning. Brittany has thrown up her hands at the thought of having kids. Too much trouble she says. She would rather put her money into a Lotus! […]
A necessary evil I’m afraid, but it doesn’t hurt to have a few little tried and true tips to make it easier. Like the one for the electric can opener. A little liquid soap and a toothbrush makes quick work of a nasty job. And it is just soooo easy to unplug it and […]
By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he’s wrong.
Charles Wadsworth
What more can I say about this one lol… we just can’t wait for Jamie to have a son. Oh, it’s going to be so delicious to watch!!
;)
