Prosperity equals advantage. Do you believe that? I am fascinated with the irony of this mentality most Americans hold dear. Maybe even more so since I hear often, as a mother of nine, about "affording all those children." All of us believe, somewhere deep within, that to prosper financially puts us at an advantage. And in many ways ...

We Devastate Children with "The Box" I believe one of the most horrific, detrimental things we have done to children, which they carry into adulthood as it shapes their very destiny, is our creation of "the box" in which we regard everyone in it normal and everyone outside of it not normal.

(Harbor Freight (on line) was the cheapest place I found them, and right now, they're on sale for $16.49 for a 9 x 12 piece.) Also, I googled for a coupon code and found this one for ...

I was driving, rather lost in thought, zoned by the double lines in front of me, when he asked the third question. "But how will they know?" I had probably answered his first two questions with a half-lying, "I don't know", the result of not really listening. "How will they know how to find my phone number when ...

If you are thinking about homeschooling, I challenge you to dive into some research and see that it isn't as difficult as you might think and that "school" doesn't ...

I have lots of favorites. But today I wanted to share 3 of them with you! I found Erin, at This One's Mine Design on Etsy a year or so ago, and fell in love with her beautiful pottery as well as the friendly customer service to match.

My husband and I met waiting tables in our college days. That's what all the college kids do, you know, until they get a degree and get a high-paying job so they can pay off the degree. (Only 27% of college grads have a job related to their major and 38% of grads work in a field ...
