I can't believe my kids finished Kindergarten today! I've asked them to stop growing up so fast, but they just won't listen! ;^) -- -Seth Jackson, proud father of Derek and Mariel(10/1/99). Pictures at: http://hitmeister.home.mindspring.com/familypictures.html Music links:...

In today electronics fast world, we are surrounded by number of dangers, from electric shock to fire. We can find daily in newspaper that somewhere fire spreads due to some reason like short circuit,ups battery explosion, and there are too many reasons. As we know government is also very much...

Today was my first day back at work in over 4 years. It was just horrible. I almost broke down in tears several times throughout the day. I loved being a SAHM and I'm just having a hard time making the transition. I was at work for 11 hours today because I have so much to get done before the kids...

I thought I was doing pretty good this school year. I cried for a month before Jordan & Madison started Mother's Morning Out 2 years ago, and cried for several days before they started 2 year-old preschool last year. So I was pretty proud of myself when I made it to today with no tears. I took...

I have been feeling like a slack Mama for not taking my girls to the dentist before now, so I called my dentist to make an appt. for the girls' first dental check-up and was told that they don't recommend that children come in until they're around the age of 5. That seems *very* late to me, but I...

Within the past week or so I had mentioned to a couple people I know that I was surprised we have not had to take Madison to the ER for stiches or a broken bone, because she is such a little monkey. Well, I should have kept my big mouth shut because that's where we ended up last night. She must...

Just had to pop in to brag about my son's first word, his twin sister's name "Anna"!! It's funny because between the 2 of them we always expect him to be slower in most areas, but in talking he seems to have jumped out ahead!! (oh, yea and also teeth ;-) It is so cute to hear him say "Anna". He...

In this article of mine, the believer will find incontestable historic- archaeological support to his Faith, the undecided one will perhaps be capable of making a decisive step forward to live the "Blessed Hope", the atheist will get irritated at seeing his thought being based absolutely on...

Well, I had planned on getting the whole family the flu shot this year (well, at least me and the kids, DH is too scared of needles). We get our shots in late October/early November here in the Pacific NW. However, I am the only one left with a temperature below 100 degrees F. All three kids...

Thanks to everyone who replied to my posts about the party and the boys' gifts. I read and mulled over everyone's thoughts ... this is what we did: We had 17 6-7 year olds, Holly and one Uninvited Younger Sibling of one of the guests (he might have been 2.5 or 3 years old, I didn't ask). I...

My wife and I are looking for some food ideas for our 14-month old girls. they love veggie, burgers, chicken, peas , pancakes and a few other assorted things, but I was wondering if anyone had any really good ideas on some other things that might work?

My daughter Morgan is 7 and once and awhile she will vomit during the night while sleeping. Obviously the act of throwing up wakes her up. We are trying to figure out what is going on and will consult our doctor but thought I would ask if anyone has had a similar experience. This happens about once...

I wanted to share some thoughts. One thing I love about them, they don't keep log files of the news I read or files I download. Images, video, mp3 music, the real news from around the world... it's all inside waiting for you. They give you access to some of the best groups others may not...

We are looking to sell our stroller and car seats. Great condition!! Loved the stroller - our triplets didn't use it once they started walking. Now they are too old. We held on to it just in case. E-mail for many more details and/or pictures. It will hold 2 OR 3 children. We are located in CT. ...

Is there anyone here that is familiar with continuing formula after 12 months? I have a friend with twins that is still giving her girls (15 mth) formula. They even wake up twice a night for a bottle still. I don't know what advice to give without sounding condescending. I was shocked when she...

Hey group....I lurked here during our pregnancy and got lots of good information. Our Girls were born on November 8 and are now taking about 6-7 ounces of formula per feeding. They have been sleeping good after their 10 p.m. bottle until like 5:30 a.m. The last 3 or 4 nights they have been waking...

Finally, The Report on our trip to France, June 21 thru July 28. Sean was already in France for business, and took as much luggage as I could pack ahead of time (a lot) to save me the carrying. On the night before, I had everything ready so I actually got to bed before 10, which was a smart move....

Christmas may seem eons away right now, but in actuality, it's only a few weeks beforethe hustle and bustle will sweep everyone away. This year, I have decided to try out something that I heard about on TV-- free handwritten letters from Santa. If you would llike for your child to recieve a...
