Comment on Maranatha Peanut Butter by Linda Jones

I LOVE Marantha peanut butter!!! Absolutely yum and nothing is going to convince me it’s bad stuff. I’m a wheat free person and this is divine on celery or just licking off a spoon.

Have you seen their new Dark Chocolate Almond spread??? Mmmmmmmmm It’s a little heavy on the sugar – 9 g in 2 tablespoons, but it is delish. A tiny bit gritty. Put 2 tablespoons in a tiny bowl and a bit head of whipped cream on top and it’s super satisfying.

Comment on New Car Seat Guidelines by Wendy Weber

@ Davis Rapp- your child should be moved to a booster seat when their convertible car seat (at the biggest/tallest setting) is too small for your child according to weight requirements. Watch for the straps at your child’s shoulders to reach the shoulder level, once they are at that point, time to get a booster (with a back to it, not just the bottom seat). My 7, almost 8 year old is still in a booster. And she will be until her feet are able to touch the ground and the regular seat belt fits properly without a booster. The seat belt should NOT go across the child’s neck. BIG no no!

This was posted on a friends FaceSpace wall just a few moments ago, and I had to share.
From our friend Lane – so I pick up Madison from Church and this is our conversation:
me: Baby you have a birthday next month, you are getting old.
Madison: I’m not old.
me: yes you are.
Madison: well your fat.

Comment on Tip of the Day-Red Grape Juice by Sam

Sam — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 06:38:35 +0000

I read about grape juice on another site (search for “grape juice stomach flu”). I now drink grape juice (not red, but purple, unless that’s what people mean) every day, and three cups a day when someone has it or I’ve been exposed. There’s another page that explains it better (it’s like the first search result), but make sure it’s Welch’s 100% grape juice (concord I believe).

Comment on Summer Bucket List by Dana

I wouldn’t call what we do curriculum, just a hodge podge of books. The only thing his 4k teacher asked us to work on was handwriting. I found a Spiderman handwriting book at the dollar tree….two things at once learn how to write letters better and read super hero words a bonus at our house. Second I found a Disney math book also at the dollar tree. We are also using a summer bridge activities book from barnes and nobles (http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/summer-bridge-grades-k-1-carson-dellosa-publishing-staff/1019673474?ean=9781604188189&itm=1&usri=summer%2bbridge%2bgrades%2bk%2b1). This summer bridge book has reading, writing, math, science, social studies, and fitness. We ignore the fitness (I mean I think a 1 hour swim practice a day is better than their ideas!). At this point in the book we are only on reading, writing, and math. He does one worksheet from each book a day. Not sure if this will be an issue for Sam, but we have found it is better to tear the page out of the book rather than give him the book and ask him to do one page…..there is something daunting about receiving a whole book. After the worksheets we have a sightword flash card set that we continually add new words to and we also have him “read” us 2 books a day from a Clifford phonics collection or anything else he chooses from the library. One old book from the previous day and one new one. I say read in ” ” because I am pretty sure he has decided to work on his memory and picture deducing skills rather than actual reading skills – but I’ll take it. Assuming he stays on task this takes about 20 to 30 min. a day (but that is a big assumption). Good-luck!

Dana, What resources are you using for school? This is something I definitely want to do with Sam. He is so bored and pretty eager to learn, I just need some sort of curriculum…

Great idea! Here are some of mine (in no particular order):
1. Talk my son into being on a swim team and force him to like it (done….and he LOVES it)
2. Do “school” at least 4 times a week with my son. So far so good and we saw immediate results with the deliberate school just 1 week in.
3. Sign up and take the surfing lessons that I have already paid for through Groupon.
4. Go to Disney World with the ENTIRE family (both sets of in-laws & siblings)…..done and everyone lived to tell the story.
5. Read a book or two that does not include pictures or an accounting references.
6. Read my Bible everyday (and not just because it is on my list, because I want to)
7. Go on at least 3 dates with my awesome hubby – hey big man, are you listening?
8. I guess I should make it down to the beach at least once this summer given that it is around 40 min away (I prefer the pool – but my 5yo loves the sand and waves).
9. Develop relationships with non-believers and talk about Jesus with them.
10. Cuddle and love on both my men (husband and son).
