I just need to talk. I don't really have anyone around here that I think would feel comfortable listening. My friends and family love me, I know that, but they don't know what to do or say when I'm talking about Eric. I just need someone to listen, but I know it's hard to just sit and take it...

Our funds are VERY low this year, so we're making most of our gifts for others in our circle (crochet, cross-stitch, bake, etc). There are a few adults who will be receiving gifts from my daughter, who is 4, and rather than simply doing something for her, I was looking for some sort of craft...

Breanna's been enrolled in gymnastics for 2 weeks now, and we are TOTALLY loving it!! It is such a blessing to have it in our weekly routine now. She's at the older age of her group's bracket, but it's good for her, she's learning how things are supposed to work. Most of the children in there...

I've been trying to decide where to have Brea's 4th birthday party. It's not until June, so I'm really early on this, but I like to think about it and plan ahead! I've been playing with a few ideas but wanted input from people here also! I was looking into having it at Pump It Up, but they...

How many of you encourage your children to memorize Scripture? Do you have a reward system of any kind? Is it something that you choose for them to memorize, or do they select the passages? I worked for a family once with 7 kids (had another the year after I stopped working for them); they...

Are there any parents here whose children have been diagnosed with ADHD? We have a room for it here on CF but it's not visited very much. We're having a VERY rough week over here. My parents were here last weekend and structure was out the window. Ever since it's been like things are...

Any moms in here with babies around that age? I will hopefully be starting a new nanny position in the next couple of days and the youngest child is right at 4 months. I'm having so much trouble remembering what all Breanna was doing at that age! It's crazy how quickly you forget! I know...

I posted this in WD, but wanted to get other parents' opinions here. Any ideas would be welcome! I work as a nanny and will be adding a child in a few weeks. The mother is asking me to figure out a cost, and I have no idea what to ask her for! Here's the current run-down: I drive roughly 45...

I kept dozing off while we had it on early this morning, and I ended up with one of the songs in my head... But I'm not exactly sure that the lyrics are accurate!! :scratch: So I'm walking around my house singing: "Stick out your tongue and say hello!" Tell me that's not right!! ^_^ So...

Okay, does anyone just get sick of having PCOS? My symptoms are completely out of control lately, and I'm about ready to pull my hair out!! (Read into that what you will...LOL) So yes, we need to handle this with grace and dignity, but sometimes I just get ticked off about it. Anyone else...

Does anyone have a good recipe for broccoli cheese soup? Prefferably something low-carb. We've been craving the TGIFridays-style soup in our home. Anyone have any tips?

marked 2 years that my husband has been dead. The day went very well! I missed him, of course, but there weren't any negative thoughts, I didn't cry once. And I wasn't trying to stop myself from it, it just wasn't what I was feeling. I think that's why I don't come in here all that often...

Okay, we can't take it anymore! My brother and I have been trying to place a quote for roughly 6 months (though I hate to admit that!) and we are a hair away from losing our minds over this insane sentence. If anyone can tell me specifically where it comes from, I will give you 1000 blessings...

Did anyone else watch this show last week? My brother and I loved it (big Matthew Perry fans). I thought it came on Mondays, but I just checked, and it's not coming on tonight. Does anyone know when the next episode is supposed to air? It's on NBC, btw.

I need some help with someone who is just a little more computer savvy than I am. I'm needing to send a large file to numerous people once a week starting in October. It's files from an audio CD that needs to go to about 15 people. I'm not sure how big every one is, but the first one is...

(Cross-posting with WD...wanted to offer it to the Moms in here!) Hey ladies! This is something that God has laid on my heart, and I wanted to throw it out to all of you! I know that many of you are familiar with Beth Moore’s work, but just in case you aren’t, she is a very gifted student...

Okay, I'm really not trying to get bad mama marks here, but I am sooo tired of this. Breanna has been pretty whiney lately. I'm in a cranky mood today, so it's buggin me more but it's been developing over the past few weeks. She's been whining a lot more, and crying at the drop of a hat. If...

How many of you pray over your children as they either are sleeping or are going to sleep? I'm thinking about prayer separate from leading them through their "bedtime prayers". Poll coming!

I went back 10 pages of posts looking for a general Dean Koontz thread and couldn't find it! So if I'm repeating something, forgive me! =) I'm interested in starting to read Koontz's works, but I'm not sure where to start! I own False Memory (I think that's the title) and The Taking, so I'll...

:help: So Breanna's ready to potty train. Or at least, she seems to be. Has been for a few months now. But with wrapping up college and everything else going on here, I decided to wait until Summer, because I wanted to be informed and have enough time to commit to it (consistency is the...
