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…..
What addictive substance is in Mickey Waffles? Why are they so delicious? Is it just their endearing shape? We were able to enjoy two more character breakfasts during our stay. Ohana with Lilo and Stitch, and Chef Mickey’s. Ohana was really fun. They greeted everyone with a lei and a kiss, and the food was…
Today was a good day in Boston. It started with lunch at Darwins with Kristin, who I have known since our days at Forbes Elementary. It was so fun to catch up, talk about life, and relish in the joy of being with someone who has know you since you were 6. I hope I…
It’s no secret at the Banks house that the kids’ birthday time usually means giving back in some way. We’ve done Toys for Tots, local toy drives, Samaritan’s Purse and most recently, Kids Against Hunger. They are so blessed and so lucky and it is really important to me that they get a tiny glimpse…
We wait for Blake wherever we go. He’s always trailing about 20 yards behind everyone else. Or taking 3 minutes to get out of the car. Or the last one in the house because he doesn’t have his shoes on. We love him so.
My mom flew out to meet baby Blake right after they got back from their trip to Maui. (Lucky ducks!) The kids were excited to have another visitor to entertain them. She took them to the park, played endless games with Halle, took them to the Children’s museum, and of course spent a lot of…

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
