Lots of good things to ponder.Amanda Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662814069840360787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-24399883287518736182009-04-05T13:23:00.000-06:002009-04-05T13:23:00.000-06:00Can't think of what I have learned, it takes too m...Can't think of what I have learned, it takes too much energy...I do have that book and read it and loved it. While somethings I personally feel are ridiculous, it got me thinking about making my kids responsible and good thinkers/problem solvers. It really is a good one that I do recommend, right after 25 Mistakes LDS Parents Make and How to Avoid Them by Randall Wright.April J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04024195968262556762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-54450479435738394662009-04-05T08:11:00.000-06:002009-04-05T08:11:00.000-06:00In the last 24 hours?

Especially as they get older and you have to let them go...<BR/>I just try to remember what Joseph Smith said once about the saints, "Teach them correct principles and they govern themselves." I think that applies to kids as well...<BR/>Have a great Sunday Cherly!Judihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17644820597982881818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-42414352652828872262009-04-04T20:21:00.000-06:002009-04-04T20:21:00.000-06:00Oh, so if I bother to actually stop and talk to my...Oh, so if I bother to actually stop and talk to my kids instead of flying off the handle then things will go smoother?

And her humor is a needed plus.Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06897269295431942566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-8992734617214209262009-04-04T11:21:00.000-06:002009-04-04T11:21:00.000-06:00...That buying myself a muffin top and a diet coke......That buying myself a muffin top and a diet coke somehow turns up my guilt to such a significant degree, that I feel I need to give something back to my family (like a clean home) and that if you REMOVE the muffin top and diet coke from me, I will spend massive amounts of money on unnecessary items at Target. Lesson: Don't let your husband convince you that the only powers a muffin top has, is the power to make you fat! (although it does have that effect, too.)Michelle Catherine Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10027090150622807517noreply@blogger.com
