Stuff I love; Common Sense Media

Posted on Nov 15, 2008 under Stuff I love, Websites, family | No Comment

Lots of great reviews on movies and games. Great info for parents so they can make an informed choice about what they are watching. But the biggest bonus is the age rating. If Carter REALLY wants to watch a move (Star Wars) we just go there and agree (most of the time) with whatever they say. He accepts it!

I have to admit it. I’m listening to the cd and there are no kids around. It’s a GREAT CD for kids and yes, even adults.
Great lines like;
When I make mistakes I use a lot of salt, cause salt makes m’steaks taste great.
and
Nine was minding his business
Talking to 10
about Gordie Howe’s clothes
Why 7 ate 9, nobody knows
not to mention the song that inspired this coustume
Halloween 2008
The Ninjas

That’s really just the start of it! Skye loves Popcorn. We all love Begetable Town :) Go, buy, enjoy!!

Posted on Sep 01, 2008 under Carter, Skye, Stuff I love, Vacation, family, travel | 8 Comments

we went up north for the long weekend and said good bye to summer. It FELT like good bye. Our last swim in the lake, Carter caught his first fish, jumped off the dock for the first time, but it was good bye. All his friends return to school tomorrow. We will celebrate in ‘not back to school’ ways. Including his first ever sleep over at a friends. They do grow up so fast.

Hello fall.

Stuff I love; My Dad

Posted on Jul 25, 2008 under Pictures, Stuff I love | 5 Comments

He’s a great man with great energy. Just don’t let him stop or he’ll fall asleep ;)   He’s clever, creative, funny, fun to be around, caring, and has a general unique perspective on life! He’s been a wonderful coach over the years and there are some now adults who still call him Coach. That is a great name for him, Coach. He’s always ready to teach little bits of life to you also willing to learn. He’s a wonderful Papa to his two young Grandkids. They really are the apple of his eye and well they like him quite well to.

This last visit to my parents home I noticed my dad was quite clever with some hockey sticks and his tomato plants. It reminded so much of his Dad who pass aways 2 years ago now. Grandpa was quite the gardener and also very clever in finding new purposes for items.

Stuff I love; Natural Moms Talk Radio

I stopped listening for awhile due to sound quality problems with my MP3 player. But I just started again after hearing she did a show on tooth decay. I’ll write some other time about my struggles with Skye’s teeth and my theory on why they are so poor. But for now…stuff I love. Natural moms talk radio covers just about every topic I’m intersted in from homeschooling to home births. I listen online now so I can crank the volume.
Good stuff here!!

I have been subscribed to this magazine almost since it’s conception years ago. Simple good recipes that are in general very healthy. 10 ingredients or less, you can find all items in your grocery store. Work picking up a copy if you run across it!!
