7 Quick Takes: December 10, 2010 (Vol. 63)

Helping Siblings Christmas Shop for Each Other

(This post was originally published on December 9, 2009) I have written about our Christmas “Mom Shop” before, but it seemed like the perfect time of year to talk about it again, especially since my kids are already saying at least a few times a week, “I can’t wait until we do the Mom shop [...]

10 Things on My Wish List

Okay, so you may not be shopping for me this Christmas, but maybe my wish list will inspire you with some of your shopping.

Free Amazon Prime Membership (A Couple of Different Ways)

I’m a huge fan of Amazon.com.  A couple of years ago, when I tried an Amazon Prime membership, however, I was blown away. It made the Amazon experience unbelievable. If you are not familiar with Amazon Prime, it began as a program that costs $79/year and entitles you to free 2-day shipping (or pay a [...]

My Kids’ Top Ten Favorite Nintendo DS Games

Last week, I consulted with my kids about their top ten favorite Wii games.  They were confused at first, and wanted to tell me games that they wanted, not ones they already had.  When I told them that they were recommending games for other people, they better understood what I wanted. This week, they were [...]

7 Quick Takes: October 22, 2010 (Vol. 57)

~ 1 ~ This week, we did our first “Project Day” for school.  I plan to post more about it later.  But, one of my favorite things about the day was when Noah said, “Mom – I love Project Day!  You know how to make school so much fun.” Of course, he doesn’t normally say [...]
