Toddler Eating Habits

As I said to a friend on Sunday evening as my toddler ran around their house during dinner as their toddler sat nicely in her booster seat at the dinner table, “I’m giving up on thinking that I really have any control over my child.” 
I know, this sounds terrible to say.    But really, I mean, [...]

Great Place for Toddler Playdate in Cleveland

While the in-laws were in town last week the hubby and I took a couple of days off from work.   I’d been to the Hershey Children’s Garden at the Cleveland Botanical Garden before, but I guess being an adult without children at the time, I hadn’t realized how very suited to toddlers it is.   I [...]

More on Obama and McCain

I have been dying to read the transcripts from the Saddleback Civil Forum at Rick Warren’s church on August 16.   We were pretty busy that particular weekend, and I just haven’t had time to read the transcripts yet.   It’s really too bad the forum was on cable TV, because I think that forum was just as important [...]

Haunted Tours of Franklin Castle

So, I don’t really care much about going on a “haunted tour” of anything.   Last year I went to a friend’s house for a fundraiser for Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital that involved meeting Mary Ann, a woman from Cleveland who is the subject of the TV show the Ghost Whisperer.   Anyhow, while I doubted [...]

This Is Not Your Home

My sister just sent me an email forward, and it had this great quote in it:
“We are not human beings going through a temporary spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings going through a temporary human experience.”
Looks like the original source of this quote is a sermon in 2003.    It reminds me of something our pastor [...]
