Rising, golden through the trees: the moon. A bride revealing herself slowly, shy, peeking. We stand and we stare. Like children, we are moonstruck, never having seen something so magical before.Remember that,people still cry, fight, die, shun, include, live, breathe, exclude. All these same old ba

So, because of a conversation with a friend who is trying to find a church where she can take her kids & focus on the church, not parenting her kids constantly, I was thinking of the old phrase "children should be seen and not heard." Honestly? What a load of crap. This phrase has got to be a hold

I'm trying again by posting it to my blog.So my kids have always been happy watching Nick Jr, upon which they do not show commercials (except maybe for other Nick shows, but not for STUFF.)
