Book Review: Moose Tracks!

Title: Moose Tracks
By: Karma Wilson and Jack E. Davis
Reviewed By: EM, Age 5

The book is about moose who keeps finding moose tracks all over her house and doesn't know where they are coming from. Friends visit her like a goose, a chipmonk, and a pig (who leaves the same tracks as the moose). I really like the part about the hippo being in the bathtub! I think that this is a really great book. Parents should read it to their kids.

Thinking About the 'D' Word? Think About This...

The webzine Momlogic posted an article titled, "Why Divorce Isn't Always the Answer." I was personally so happy to see someone finally writing about working to save your marriage instead of reasons it's ok to divorce, or why you should divorce.

Bringing to light things we need to be careful to avoid.

Big Idea

By MAD21

Big Idea, the creator of the VeggieTales, has an awesome website for kids. They have fun online games that even some mom's and dad's enjoy playing. You can also print out pages to color, listen to stories, and you can send an e-card to someone. They even have a page for parents that give ideas for activities they can do together with their kids. It's one of our family's favorite places to visit.

Leaving It At The Door

By MAD21

A friend of mine was telling me today about how his wife was complaining about how much he talked about work (and for the record, he agreed it needed to stop). You know know what I mean. All the conversations we have when we get home from work. Like needing to unload all of the day's events out of our brains before we explode. We spend all day trying to be politically correct and professional while working around other people (or not), that when we are in the safety of our own home with the people we love, we just let it all out like taking the knot out of a balloon.

Mind you, it's not all bad that we share our day's events with our families. I, for one, like very much to hear about the events of each family member's day. But like everything in life, there is such thing as too much of a good thing. We all need to be careful that it doesn't go too far.
