As usual, I was surfing the web and reading some of the major newspapers of the country. I like knowing what is going on in the New York Times and The Washington Post as well as several others that are in the Midwest and the West. Sometimes I miss something but, in that case, a… Continue reading Kindergarten Conundrum
Many are the days that parents, particularly mothers it seems, would love to have bed rest, a sanctioned excuse to not leave bed. I vividly recall my second pregnancy. Twins. In 1986-87. The things my OB/GYN did not tell me at first were that he was going to disable me at 26 weeks, that he… Continue reading Bed Rest Anyone?
Through Five for Ten on Momalom.com, I have come to meet and know a huge community of bloggers. Most are females. Most are mothers. Some are married. Some are single. All are fantastic! I thought to myself, when I first read about “Won’t You Be My Neighbor” on one of these blog, that this was… Continue reading Won’t You Be My Neighbor?
Man? Woman? Being? I was wondering around the blogosphere when I came across Ronna Detrick’s entry entitled “Do You Remember When God Was A Woman?” I thought long and hard as I was reading both the entry and its accompanying comments. You see, I am a catechist. I have completed the Basic Catechetical Certification courses… Continue reading God Is A …

I have been going to the Greater Groton Photo Club since it started meeting in November of 2009. I love the people who are willing to share their knowledge and the things we have done as far as taking pictures. So, I offer you the images I took on last Thursday at the Greater Groton… Continue reading Photo Club
My skin is my true barometer of when winter hits where I live. I can always look out the window and see snow or rain or clouds or sun. I can always look at the calendar and see dates – days, weeks, months. I can always look on the television or the computer and see… Continue reading Winter Is Here
While the language we choose to use as parents is important, I want to discuss language acquisition and parenting. As Big Little Wolf has indicated, “parenting rocks. parenting sucks. parenting rocks.” Ever since Becca discussed her son’s lack of language, I have had these thoughts rolling around in my mind. Parents need to be aware… Continue reading Language and Parenting
Each semester the high school student(s) in my house come home with tales of “The Flour Baby Project.” In New York State, high school students must take a half credit of health to graduate. This course is offered every semester at our high school and includes such topics as STDs, alcoholism, CPR – each student… Continue reading The Flour Baby Project
