Christmas Gifts, Holiday Traditions and Going Green

green-christmas

Halloween is over and the next holiday that my son starts to talk about is Christmas. Not that Thanksgiving isn’t important but really he doesn’t like turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and pie and he gets bored with football on the television. Are family celebrates thanksgiving with gusto but for my son, Christmas is what he [...]

Bathing my children, it’s a nightly routine. It’s calming for the children and for me, I like to have the children smelling clean. Sorry, I just do.

Children are such honest beings. My grandmother passed away recently and the timing was at a very hectic (as though death every comes at a good time) juncture of my life.  My husband and I decided to not take our children to the funeral for several reasons. The eight hours of driving in one day, [...]
