My home is a Lego home as well. We moved the thousands of them into my son's room. The Legos are to stay in his room except to show me his newest masterpiece. About once a week, I can't take stepping on them to put laundry away and they have to get cleaned up. But for the rest of the week, I simply shut the bedroom door and pretend I don't know that the floor is COVERED in little itty

This is such a tough one, but I feel like I need some boundaries here too. You've inspired me to be more intentional in what I do away from the computer as well as how much time I spend on it.

I enjoyed your article on Christian momlogic the other day as well. Thanks for your posts!

I feel the same way sometimes about feeding kids and the lastest and greatest scientific study telling us that we're all doing it wrong.
Apparently, people love this stuff. Or at least it gets their blood pumping. Whatever it is, it's gotten old for me. I think we only have ourselves to blame. We're the consumers.
I try to pay attention to a couple bloggers/authors I

When you read enough, everything begins to sound familiar. As a blog magazine editor, it doesn't take much to stand out in the crowd of vanilla for me. A fresh voice is just that: refreshing.

Aphra linked to a beautifully written post by a friend of mine that completely resonates with hundreds of readers. But one that I've read many times before by many other bloggers. The

Thanks so much for reading and your kind comments!

I also pray that you can meet your friends young son, and they are lucky to have a friend that is supporting them and trying to do something, however small to make it happen.

Thanks again!

You've expressed this so well I don't need to write my own blog post now!

I have friends in Colorado who are one of the families in process of adopting a boy from #BRESMA. On Saturday morning when I learned the orphanage was out of water, I immediately began utilizing social networking on Facebook and Twitter, and contacted my legislators to advocate for assistance.

Thanks for your comments! I think your kids are lucky that you and your husband take your marriage seriously and work to make it solid. They will thrive for the effort.

Wow, that's an interesting post. I decried Jon & Kate on my own blog, but this is so sad.

We only have 2 kids, but they both have learning disabilities and are young, and the stress and pressure is unbelievable. BUT, for better or worse seems to be something my husband and I have taken on a subconscious route. We have the kids, and our own lives, but we both know that we are

Found you on twitter (I'm screamin_deal) and I think the idea of delving deeper into what you tweet sounds like a great purpose for your blog. I'm a news junkie, too, and love reading your posts!

2009-02-13T21:09:00.000-08:00

As I understand it, Ms. Suleman's mother and the father of the children (sperm donor) actually DID go to the doctor's office and asked him NOT to transfer anymore embryos.It begs the question about the ethics of the doctor. Even WITHOUT those key people making their requests, his own vetting process (the doctor's) should have raised a million red flags. Ironic then, that HE is the only doctor in

I completely agree with you. Yes the situation is disturbing but the time to be outraged was long ago and now those poor babies need someone looking out for them!

Those U.K. links are interesting. Especially this article I found when I delved deeper:

"Mutual trust and loyalty are the keys that will unlock the best results." The British have spoken, clearly for all of us.
