Raising the Future Generation

I'm not being selfish. I like to think of it as being AMBITIOUS.

What about you?


And what do you think of the Octomom controversy?

Secrets

A secret can be a very powerful thing.  Amazingly powerful.  I just finished reading a book -Drowning Ruth- and there was one secret that over time effected many different lives.  As I finished reading I couldn't help but think of the power of a secret.  How sometimes something we feel should be kept a secret at the time maybe really shouldn't be.  If we could see the lasting effects of that secret we just might feel differently about how much we want it to remain hidden so no one will ever know.  

I also know some things are better left a secret, some things don't need to be shared.  But what about the secrets that involve other people's lives, secrets that only by being kept don't require change, admission, truth.  

What secrets do you keep?

Treat board

Here's a little part of a treat board I made.  -Sorry the picture isn't better, and I took it after and these were the last two treats left.  There were about 30 treats on the board.  I got a foam poster board, covered it with wrapping paper (you can also cover it with fabric or scrapbook paper), I got treat bags at Michaels.  I put a treat inside, folded it over and stapled the bag, then took a piece of paper covered the top flap, punched two holes and put a ribbon through.  You can attach them to the board with double sided tape (it did take off some of the paper when people were pulling them off) or pin them on.  It was actually pretty easy to put together- especially if you have help (thanks Mom).  You can have it near the door to thank guests for coming to a party or get together.  You can even put a little sign on the board saying "Take a treat"  -You can fill the bags with any kind of goodies you want.  It worked out perfect as a little thank you for our event.  Just thought I'd share!  -I got the idea from a couple different blogs.
