Resources and information for moms.
So goes my favorite U2 song and it seems more relevant than ever these days. Doom-and-gloom forecasts are everywhere at the moment, and seemingly with good reason.
I did a unit study on WWII last year with my kids. WWII history has always been one of my favorite subjects to read about. During a terrible time of war and catastrophe, stories of heroism, sacrifice and perseverance have surfaced and made a lasting impact on the generations to follow. [Read more...]
The Chicago Tribune ran a story recently about a woman who has launched a new trend in at home parties. Instead of selling makeup or cooking gadgets to her friends, she sells garbage-eating worms to moms. And it’s a big hit!
These are not fat, slithery outdoor earthworms either. According to the Urban Worm Girl website, these are a smaller, slimmer kind of worm. And they love leftover fruit, vegetables, egg shells, rice, coffee grounds, newspaper, and even wet egg cartons. [Read more...]
My son brought this home yesterday and announced “It’s for you, Mom!” with a great big smile and hug.

Many of my friends have recently joined Facebook as a way of staying connected and to share photos and activities of all the families.
The upside is that it allow us to stay connected and in contact with friends who’ve moved away or with those we just don’t get to spend as much time with as we’d like.
The downside, though, is that even if you have a rusty account on a social networking site, friends from long, long ago can find you. And I’m not sure how I like this. A former friend from my first job out of high school–back in the Dark Ages–recently sent me a card at my home address. She found me on an account I rarely use, on a job-related networking site, although I have yet to respond to her invite to add her as a friend. [Read more...]
