When it comes to shaving, I would prefer to go au natural, except for the fact that I live in America...where hair is something that should not exist anywhere except on my head. Oh...and my husband would never go for it. I seriously do not like to shave. I like smooth, hairless legs but shaving is time-consuming and my legs are never as smooth as the commercial...

My son's new favorite television show is WordWorld. I didn't even know ... Read More »

Potty training at home is one thing....but what happens when your tot needs to tinkle while you're, say, at the mall? At some point your toddler is going to need to use the "big potty" and you need to be prepared. Just the thought of putting my son on a pu... Read More »

When I was in college, I taught a children's Sunday School class for 3 and 4 year olds. I remember how excited the kids got when I would turn on the occasional Veggie Tales DVD. If you've yet to watch Veggie Tales, you're missing out. This is by far the most unique series available for children. I just love their mission: "To enhance the spiritual and moral fabric ...
