RE:birthday party ideas for my 8 year old
Friday, June 04, 2010 | By Anonymous

Maybe go to a nail salon, or a surprise party, or have her invite a friend to spend the night and go to dinner and watch a movie.

I enjoyed reading your blog! I'm a homemaker as well. Good to know that there are others out there doing the same things. . . making life good for their families. Thanks for sharing. Begonia

Grass smells bad when it decomposes only when it mats together and goes anaerobic. (When no air is present during composting, grass stinks like liquid or pig manure!) If you add leaves or some other rough carbon material to grass clippings, it makes a good addition to your compost pile or can be a good mulch. You can also use it alone as a mulch if you apply it in a thin layer and fluff it. You have to keep an eye on it though because as soon as it mats it can become a problem.

When I use hay as a mulch, I break up the flakes a bit. Even when a flake isn't broken up, it is rough enough that enough air gets in that you don't have an odor problem. I did remove a little of the hay from the potatoes as pictured. I need to do an update on my potato experiment! Begonia

I get stuff (mostly canned food) from Big Lots cheaper than I would from a regular store using coupons. Just an FYI for you.

I was wondering. Grass smells bad when it decomposes. Does hay smell bad when it decomposes?

I've seen these containers at the Dollar Tree (and Big Lots) which have washers around the lid for a good seal. The are $1 at the Dollar Tree, a little more at Big Lots. Have not tested them but might be worth a try for $1 to keep your matches safe in a flood.

First, this is from a man's point of view. No one should ever accept their significant other (SO) and their cheating. Cheating is disrespectful and hurtful, and damages the relationship.

If the person wants forgiveness for cheating, they only deserve forgiveness if they CHANGE THEIR WAYS. Cheating is very serious. It shows the cheater doesn't take the relationship seriously, or the other person's feelings seriously. So I take a firm stance about this. I have never cheated on a girlfriend. If it wasn't working out, I broke up with them IN PERSON, not over the phone, not via IM, not via text message. That's just me.

I don't even date multiple people at the same time. I'm a one woman man.

If you want to accept his cheating, that's your choice. I'm not saying your choice is wrong. But it will have consequences in the future that you may not foresee. And that is what I'm trying to warn you about.

Thanks for the tip! I'm going to try it. Begonia

I'm a dad. My son would do a similar thing. When he would do it I would tell him "Oops. I thought you were a big boy." Not in a mean way.

So next time I had a BM I took him in with me and said "This is how big boys do it." Then I showed him the "business" in the toilet, and how to do "paperwork". If he wanted to try, I let him. If he made a BM in the toilet, I gave him lots of praise and a sticker.

That seemed to help to see an adult "model" how to do it. I also did this when I went pee. I showed him how to stand, etc.

I find that modeling often helps with many things with young kids.
