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…..

New England Aquarium
The Penguins and the Giant Sea Turtle were the runaway favorites at the Aquarium today. The seals and the octopus contended for second place. Everybody also really liked touching the stingrays. After the aquarium, we weren’t quite ready to call it a day. It was about 72 degrees and perfectly sunny, so we decided to…
Bunker Hill and the USS Constitution
We finally finished up the Freedom Trail! And these were two of our favorite stops. Halle has been excited to climb the Bunker Hill Monument since she saw pictures of it in a guide book awhile back. We all wanted Rusty to come with us, so we waited until he got off work and then…
Scared of Santa
Ashley had this website on her blog and I had a funny idea. Check out this website, and then if you want to, email me a pic (or more than 1) of your kids with Santa (screaming or smiling) and I’ll post our very own little Christmas contest and we can vote on our favorite…
First day of 3rd Grade and Kindergarten
We are back home settled into our normal routine. School came very quickly and the kids are glad to be back with their friends. Halle just adores her 3rd grade teacher, Mrs. Cottle, and Josh ran into kindergarten without a worry in the world. His teacher, Mrs. Delaney, is the perfect kindergarten teacher.

“Whoever does not visit Paris regularly will never really be elegant.” –Honoré de Balzac First up on the docket today was the Opera Garnier to take a picture for miss Halle. She’s obsessed with Phantom of the Opera right now, and I was excited to snap her a picture of this impressive building. I wish…
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
