Everything I Learned
Posted by: momto6 on: 14 October 2008
Remember the essay “Everything I Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten”? I love that essay! It talks about how all those things we do in kindergarten are needed for life - getting along, sharing, napping.
This morning I opened my email from Sparkpeople.com and found an equally good piece - how we can learn healthy living [...]
The Family Grocery Budget
Posted by: momto6 on: 10 October 2008
My friend Lisa recently wrote a blog entry entitled “no bailout.” No, she wasn’t talking about her views on the recently passed government “rescue” plan, though she could have been. She was talking about tightening the familial belt and surviving the rough times that are already upon us and to come.
Lisa got me thinking how [...]
A Call From College
Posted by: momto6 on: 8 October 2008
I have received a lot of phone calls from my daughter who is a senior at Niagara University in the four years she has been there.
There was the distraught call her first week at school that I missed and was on the answering machine when I got home from an outing with her younger brothers. [...]
Freezer Cooking
Posted by: momto6 on: 6 October 2008
I was going to start this post a while back but it, instead, turned into a post about pantries. I have several friends who freezer cook. You may also hear it called Once A Month Cooking. It is extremely popular with busy families as your food is in your freezer. One group of friends even [...]
Fall …
Posted by: momto6 on: 3 October 2008
This blog entry has been floating around in my head for a few days. I would toy with talking it through into my mp3 player, which also has a voice recorder, as I ran because that is when the difference in seasons really hits me. The colors are so vibrant. The breeze is stiffer and [...]
Inauguration 2009
Posted by: momto6 on: 2 October 2008
Not only is my fifth child graduating high school and going off to college in 2009, he is attending the presidential inauguration in January. His economics teacher also teaches an AP Government class. The class is taking a bus to the inauguration. Because one AP class does not fill up the bus, students who were [...]
The Email Alarm Clock
Posted by: momto6 on: 2 October 2008
I know, you are thinking I must be drinking early in the day. Who has ever heard of an email alarm clock? I turn my computer off every night and, well, how would that work?
No, that is not quite the method I am looking at today. I open my email first thing every morning - just [...]
Homecoming
Posted by: momto6 on: 1 October 2008
Well, last weekend was homecoming at my two son’s high school. This means there was a week of events at school and then homecoming Saturday. All fine and good but the weather, for the first time in my memory, canceled the annual parade.
Homecoming week starts off with the Junior-Senior Reversal game. The junior and senior [...]
What do you keep track of?
Posted by: momto6 on: 25 September 2008
People all over exercise and do it for a variety of reasons. It has been just about one year since I wrote about how you measure progress. At that time, I did not have the ability to weigh myself at home so did it every couple of months. I seriously still do not weigh in [...]
