Be a troublemaker when it comes to yourself! Insist on being treated respectfully at all times. Sometimes it’s so shocking how poorly we are treated that we are flabbergasted and don’t know what to say or do. Take heart! You can almost always do something about it later. Write to companies. Call lawyers for help [...]
Be a troublemaker when it concerns your children (and other people you care about). Don’t fall into the modern day trap of sending your loved ones away to be taken care of. Don’t send them into doctor’s and dentist’s offices or classes with new teachers on their own. Check out the situations and act accordingly. [...]
I honestly didn’t expect to talk about protein again on this blog, but it is looking like I need to again and it probably won’t be the last time. Yep, you’ve guessed it, the whole “Where does a vegan get protein?” question has come up again — multiple times. At a meeting I was at [...]
I’ve recently read an “important” article about the top 10 websites people can’t live without today. Since I disagreed with 8 out of the 10, I thought I’d write my own list. Okay, I actually could live without all of these, but my life is a lot more fun and easy with these sites. I’d [...]

My younger daughter has been begging me to write this post for over a month now. She’s a huge Amelia Bedelia fan (the rest of us are too) and we talk about Amelia Bedelia’s interesting perspective on life all the time. Whenever my daughter hears a phrase that could be thought of in several different [...]
I’ll say it from the start: I’m anti-chores, but I’m pro-clean. How better to make our children resent cleaning and organizing than to force them to do it against their will? Think about which household tasks you dislike the most. Are they they ones you did with fun with your parents, or the ones you [...]
For the most part, the “Back to School” season (which I read recently is second in consumer money spent only to Christmas) doesn’t affect me. But, this year I’ve been more aware of it than usual. You see, my children (ages 12 and almost 8 ) have never been to school. We also don’t do [...]
We finally got three wishing wells in a row in the center row in Webkinz World’s Wishing Well 2 game. We were so excited to see that we were able to choose an exclusive item of our choice! Previously, the best we’d done on the game is three frogs in a row in the center [...]
