What's happened to Manners?

Okay, I'm not a prude but I sure like it when someone smiles at you even though they don't know you. OR, when someone lets you go first in a line... Could that be true? Are manners out the window? When I was growing up, I was taught to be polite to others and to follow "The Golden Rule"! I did the same to our children. When I was in Sunday School or Girl Scouts we always learned how to...

You Can Teach Your Child At Home! How's Your Patience Level?

It's not hard to teach your child at home. The hard part is being patient with your own child who knows how to push your buttons!! When parents say to me, "I want to home school!" I say, "Well, how's your patience level?" If they answer back, "Not so good with my own children!" I say "No, don't do it!" Only if you can be patient with your child no matter what they throw at you, then you can... (posted by Connie 2 years 9 days ago.)

Creativity, Isn't It Grand!!

I love to create. Whether it is a painting or making beautiful beaded jewelry or creating an article it feels so darn good!

Dog Parks! Can't owners control their dogs? Dog parks are for the birds!

My two Grown sons and Mother's Day! Got to Love it!!

LOVE my sons! They are two unique individuals that my husband and I spent LOADS of time with when they were children. Boy Scouts, baseball and basketball practices!

They brought me themselves! Both sat down with me at the... (posted by Connie 2 years 16 days ago.)

I would never get a tattoo! But I did! A henna one!

My friends and I went to a beach town boardwalk. We were walking and viewing all the art and jewelry that the sellers had on display. One of my friends (who was much younger then I) said, "Connie, you should get a "henna" tattoo and surprise your husband!" I laughed and said, "Oh sure!" The other girls I was with encouraged me too. After we had eaten a yummy lunch, we continued our walk down the... (posted by Connie 2 years 18 days ago.)
