Weekly Diary: It Was Quiet Around Here Last Week, With Good Reason!

I decided once a week it would be fun to do a weekly diary, probably on the weekends, sharing all that happened through the week with our fun family.

What I Want My Kids To Know About Sex

Sex...talking about it with kids is something that I never thought about having to do, well,  until I had kids. Sex Talk With Kids....in the past it would make me want to run for the hills. I mean, as a parent, you think you have all the time in the world to broach the subject, until you don't. You look at them when they are babies and want to shield them from the world. Okay, so that really Read More »»
