Best Friends
My children have NOT been acting very nice to each other lately, so we decided to have an FHE on why it was important to treat your siblings kindly. The result…..

Tennis Camp
This week Halle attended her first ever Tennis Camp. Rusty was skeptical that 5 year olds could learn tennis, but he was wrong. She did awesome. Her teacher was great and knew just what to say and do to make the whole thing really fun. The camp was just 4 straight days, and now we…
Spring Break 2014
We had a low key Spring Break this year. It was so nice to kick back and relax. There were lots of morning cartoons, big breakfasts, and staying in pajamas until noon. But we also managed to pull ourselves together a few times to go have some fun. We went swimming at the Apex Center…
My mom used to make my brothers hug each other in the middle of the family room for like a minute if they were fighting. Best punishment ever 🙂
We had to “kiss and make up” or go to time out. Parenting 101, I guess.
So I need to borrow your FHE lesson on being nice to each other. Landon and Dayton are currently grounded from everything due to fighting…..what’s wrong with me?? I’m a terrible parent!
Companies can misbehave too. Take a step towards transparency from the companies who profit from your blog writing by NOT writing April 15, 2010.
Let private companies like Lijit and public one’s like Google know: you know they have not been transparent about what they make from our blogs; what % they share with US, the people creating the content they use and re-sell at great profit.
If you can’t keep your fingers from working on April 15th, 2010, then ask companies like Lijit, Google, or any other currently profiting from you blog this basic question:
What do you make from my work? What % are you sharing with me?
Your UNION, P.U.B., Publisher’s Union of Bloggers, has asked these simple questions from companies such as Lijit and Google, and they have either not answered (Google) or used personal attacks and threatened legal action against P.U.B. and its members (Lijit).
Why? Google, Lijit, and other’s profiting from publishers plan on there being no power among independent, freethinking writers. 'They will never act as a group, never ask us to be transparent, we can pay them whatever we want, if anything'
Is your creative work worth asking this simple question?
Then ask it, April 15th, 2010, and tell your publishing peers to ask for it too.
Keep up the good work,
Barney
