Kid Stuff

2011-03-14T09:16:00.000-07:00

Well I got some great feed back from a teacher who has been enjoying the resources for Colonial Times for her 6th grade classroom.

It is always so great to get feedback and know how people are using and enjoying the site!

It inspired us to roll up the old sleeves and update the Kid Stuff pages to keep it as a viable tool and resource for all of us out there investing our efforts in our kids.

Having good tools helps us to help our children become the best they can be.

Please continue to leave feedback and let us know your thoughts, ideas and suggestions.

All our work revolves around you and what you want to see on the site!

Best wishes,

This is a good quicky read

This story featured in Families First is a great quick fix to get some perspective on yourself, your day and reconciling that sometimes oh so elusive person you meant to be with the person you can easily accidentally become.

Being on automatic pilot isn't always the best thing. We all need something to shake us up a bit and give us a chance to consciously reconsider who we really are, and what we may be becoming by bouncing from thing, to thing, to thing without to much awareness. I am so guilty of this.

Here's to the best year possible for all of us!

What I love about America

2009-09-10T06:20:00.001-07:00

The Constitution only guarantees the American people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself.

~Benjamin Franklin

Right O Benny Boy.

That is the beautiful thing about this country. We have opportunities that are unthinkable in other parts of the world.

With that though, I think we may have forgotten the other side of the coin in this inalienable right:

With the right to make a complete success of yourself you also have the right to be a complete screw up.

You have the opportunity and the right to be lazy, thoughtless, ill-prepared, reckless, even stupid.

You have the right to throw your life down the toilet if you so choose.

It would be wonderful if all people had enough love and respect for themselves and each other to live honorably and responsibly, but we, as Americans, do not force anyone to make something of themselves. We only present the opportunity.

To my way of thinking, this is what is wrong with the bailouts.

You have the right to be stupid, greedy, short sighted and run your business into the ground regardless of how many others are peripherally affected by it. You just do. You have that right.

Bailouts are fear based. There might be a bit of a transition time, but in the long run we will all be better off and create more economic security by letting the stupid and the greedy fall, and allowing room for the next guy who wants it more, is smarter, and knows how to balance his books.

My lawyer brought me over to her Process Servers home/office. This is a gritty, no nonsense family business led by 'Granny', who oh yes, is packing, and could nail the head off a rattlesnake with one shot. In the course of conversation with these slightly frightening, but really nice women, one asked "Can I overpay myself, not pay my bills, run my business into the ground and then ask for a bailout?"

We all know the answer is no.

We also know that over 80% of all jobs in America are created by small business.

I think we can all do the math and see the obvious here.

If you are not willing to get involved you lose your right to complain. Simple as that.

Please join me in writing an old fashioned letter to the powers that be and tell them what you think.

Believe me, it does make a difference in future policies and actions.

Wishing you the best,

Funny! ~ The polite way to pee….

2009-09-03T05:42:00.001-07:00

Very funny.

The Polite Way to (ask to go) Pee

During one of her daily classes, a teacher trying to teach good manners, asked her students the following question:

'Michael, if you were on a date having dinner with a nice young lady, how would you tell her that you have to go to the bathroom?

Michael said, 'Just a minute I have to go pee.' The teacher responded by saying, 'That would be rude and impolite.

What about you Sherman, how would you say it?'

Sherman said, 'I am sorry, but I really need to go to the bathroom, I'll be right back.'

'That's better, but it's still not very nice to say the word bathroom at the dinner table.

And you, little Johnny, can you use your brain for once and show us your good manners?'

Johnny started, 'I would say Darling, may I please be excused for a moment?

I have to shake hands with a very dear friend of mine, whom I hope to introduce you to after dinner.'

The teacher fainted.

A lovely quote for today:

2009-09-01T19:19:00.001-07:00

The ache for home lives in all of us,

the safe place where we can go as we are

and not be questioned.

Things are finally settling down and HouseWifeMafia.com is gearing up again!

We had to set it aside for a bit when:

1. The site crashed because the program we were using couldn’t handle our volume!

2. Our Editor’s husband did some career switching which landed them in four different states over the last two years – some of them twice!

The great news is she will be staying put for a while, and we are on track to create and optimize every opportunity to help provide publishing opportunities for women writers, and of course make you laugh or smack your forehead as much as we can!
Keep watching as more goodness unfolds!
