So this has been in the works for almost a week and I kinda wanted it to be a surprise for all the ladies I love at mommytalk- and to Rachel because she works her butt off to get great Mommytalkers.

After I have my feature post here on Mommytalk on Wednesday I post it on Yahoo Shine with a link to Mommytalk.  It gets posted on the back blog pages.  Well I was contacted by the editor last week and she wanted to place it on the main parenting page!  Well it is there today with a link to Mommytalk!

I think the point Pezzy is trying to make is she feels disrespected and you need to respect that.  Prayer is not just a Christian aspect.  All faiths practice prayer so calling Pezzy out on that was quite unfair.  Could we just agree to value others believes.  If you want to show your love to pezzy just say "You rock" and leave it at that- and really that is all Pezzy wants.  It is more important to show your love and what is said in our hearts, and not always on the thread screen, counts for more then anything else. This has snoballed and we all can't have the last word so write love on the thread and be done with it.

I love kids books- someimes more then adult.  What are your fave books to read to your lil' ones?

1. Where do Balloons go? ... by Jamie Lee Curtis

2. Is there really a human Race? ... Also by Curtis- she is an great children's book writer

3. Brown Bear, Brown Bear ... Great story for kids love the art!

4.The Velveteen Rabbit ...-classic

5. Of course I can't leave out my fave Curious George ... any book.  Not just a cute monkey but the history behind how he came to life ... is truly amazing!

Wow what a story trapped in an elevator ... for 41 hours all caught on tape.  

I have always used vinegar in my house to clean, windows, floors the smell doesn't stick but the clean does.  I did by the green cleaner by clorax. I love love it I sprayed some on a floor spill and it cleaned and my floor wasn't sticky! Do I not sound like a commercial???

No I don't do everything the winner does but her essay is truly inspring.  I think the home owners association would be knocking on my door if I had a chicken coop  We plan to by local meat this year, and in the summer we always buy local veggies.  Although we do that for our own pleasure not so much for the earth

I had a neighbor a bit older.  She had a seizure that took hours to stop- they tought they were going to lose her turns out she has brain cancer.

I think it was good you sent her to school because the school might have special help for those who need it.  It has to be hard for her, and you having the experience might help her.

i have been told I look like Caroline from the show Caroline and the City.

My sis looked like this soap star on Days a few years back- she went into the gas station and the girl behind the counter touched my sis' face and started calling he Chloe' it was so funny!

Starting last year I ask to have the kids pictures taken for Mother's day.  Then I ordered copies and framed them for mom- grandma etc.  This year we are doing family pics
