I had got a desire to make my own company, but I did not have enough amount of money to do it. Thank God my close mate told to take the loans. Thence I used the credit loan and realized my desire.

Martha comments on Tip of the Week : Travel Light!

I hate lugging tons of bags, suitcases etc. It even bothers me when my family has a ton of stuff along even if they do the lugging. I remember the days when we had to pack a crib, booster seat and other baby acoutrements. My hubby was bringing a full sized CPU and monitor along on every trip as well. Sigh. Praise the Lord for laptops! We have another toddler now, but have never brought a crib or booster along. He does fine on the floor or someone's lap and the older kids would have too I'm sure. We re-wear clothes, mix and match and do a load of laundry if necessary. My boys would happily never change if I let them. :( Use travel size toothpaste, etc. Deliberately don't have a hair style that would require a hair dryer or curling iron. Put things inside packed shoes. Roll clothes to pack.

Tom Smith comments on Ever wish you'd never had kids?

A question for you ladies, and most of you posting are women.

You have collectively expressed the downside of being a parent.

For those of you who did not "accidentally" become mothers,
were you not aware of all the negatives?

To be a great parent, your child rearing duties must consume you 100%,
La Dolce Vida is over.

Parenting is a dirtly, tiring, often thankless job.

Did you not get the memo on that?

If in fact you get some love back from the little nubber,
and it still wasn't worth it, too bad,
DON'T DO THE CRIME IF YOU CAN"T DO THE TIME.

RP comments on Q of the Week : Favorite Season?

I'm a summer girl. I hate being cold, I absolutely hate being cold. Did I say that twice?? I really should forsake my hockey loving Canada, and move south. I love having a tan, I love wearing sandals, and I love the sound of cicadas and swimming in the dark. Spring is new, that's true, and who doesn't love pastel sweaters, but it can be cold and unpredictable as well. Fall is amazing, but the nights are cold, and I'm always a little sad because I know it's going to start getting darker earlier, and be colder. I love bonfires, woodstoves in the evenings, and a good "drink" to warm the insides... that's about the only good part of winter...

and yes i recall those "colour" parties... God has a sense of humour... I'm a winter!!

I have to agree...Fall is the best! For all the reasons you stated, and more. I hate the humidity of Summer, don't like having to bundle up in the Winter (although I DO love snow for Christmas), and Spring...well, it can be unpredictable, but I do enjoy the newness of it all, so it would have to be my second fave. AND, I also remember having my colours 'done'. Remember 'Colour Parties'? I recall watching the whole thing go from a small fad, to becoming mainstream, where you could shop in stores for clothes, make-up, etc., according to your colour. Thanks for the little trip down memory lane!

Carley Knobloch comments on Motherhood as a relationship

Bethany—
So glad you could make the call. So glad I could share what has been a VERY influential article and concept to me. And so glad that it resonated with you. When I first read it, it was like a lightbulb went on—of COURSE the word "job" creates undue pressure and stress that really isn't necessary! And the fact that we buy into the idea and try to "do the best job" at parenting just seals our fate. SIgh.

And I love your question: If it's a relationship, who are we competing with? Too true! Seems so silly, right? We're all looking for the answer to the question, "How do I do this right?" OUTSIDE of ourselves, instead of looking within at what makes sense for ourselves, our children, our families, our RELATIONSHIPS.

The Perfect Moms Finish Last 6-Week course is all about this stuff. http://www.perfectmomsfinishlast.com/go. I've been creating this class in my mind for a few years now and I'm so happy that it's out in the world!

enjoy tiff, one other plus is that you get the only potatoes that don't need gravy in my opinion :).
