• Commented on A Matter of Manners
  I completely agree Tracey! It is a very sad state of affairs when your 9 year old child asks why they never say "you're welcome" at our local coffee drive through. My children are constantly receiving compliments on their manners...

  I completely agree with Anne Green and it is the one piece of advice I give new parents more than anything else...your child will not attend university in diapers...everything will happen in it's own time. That being said, I don't...
• Commented on If Peter Pan Had a Daughter (which we all know is impossible, or at the very least, creepy)
