Queries....

Michaela was invited to a birthday party for a girl in her class. They had it at Airdrie Edge Gymnastics club, looked like a ton of fun. The little girl that it was for asked for no presents, but a small donation for the Red Cross to send to Haiti. Now I thought that was really sweet. But my question is...how much of that is HER and how much of that is Parental influence? How many 6 year olds do YOU know that think like that? I know that there are a few here and there and you hear about them from time to time but really it IS a rarity. How much would YOU influnece your kids to do something like that? What would YOU promise your child they would get if they did this? How much of it is just fro show and how much of it is genuine? These questions are among some of the ones that have been going thru my head since Micha got the invite for this party. What are YOUR thoughts?

Organization Needed

I am in need of a personal organizer. i am feeling overwheled with the mess in my house and I can't seem to get on top of it. I just can't seem the rigth place to start. I know I need to take it one room at a time, but what room do I start with and where in that room do I start. I just don't seem to have enough time or knowledge to of what to toss or keep. Sean has a hard time throwing things away and he just tells me to put it off to the side and he will go through it when he has a chance....problem is.....he NEVER has a chance.

I am going to pose a question for all you organized people out there....How do you stay organized and how can I go about starting on my way to being the organized person that I long to be?

It's been a boring life....

Well it's been awhile since my last blog, but I wish that I had something to report, however, nothing really has been happening here. Michaela hs finnished her third week at playschool and she's come along way, I've already noticed a chinge in her behaviour (for the most part anyways). My days have been taken up with Dora and Little Einsteins these days and as Autumn approaches, I don't see us getting out too much. Although I have heard that Aidrie Family Services has a playgroup that meet in their building every week, so I may look into taking the kids there.

But I do have a question for all those reading this post.


What do YOU do when it is cold out to occupy the kids and allow them to have fun.
Craft ideas, recipes anyhting would be appreciated.

What the.....?

What kind of world do we live in that makes people hate so much? Why is it that society can not see the damage that we are inflicting on each other until it is too late? What can be done now? why do we have to pay such a high price before we realize that things need to change? What now?
