If you know me, or ... http://toddlers2teens.today.com/2009/09/24/got-kids-gotta-save-money/ I must admit that I'm a fan of Disney On Ice. I think it's one of those shows that transcends age.

When I come across some information that may be able ... http://toddlers2teens.today.com/2009/08/29/your-kids-their-health/ I read The Zoopendous Surprise by Boots Hensel to my three youngest children last night and I must admit I really enjoyed the book too.

I haven't updated this blog in an extremely long time. I have no excuse, but - of course - I am going to give some anyway. I haven't made the time to put more effort into this blog. The platform is nothing like Blogger and I can't get ... http://toddlers2teens.today.com/2009/07/22/mia/ Listen. That's all I want my children to do. Listen. My three youngest children seem so much difficult to get through to than my oldest was. I can reason, yell, cajole, bribe... whatever. Nothing works.
