Parenting: Nurturing vs Spoiling
I was having an online conversation with some fellow moms on Twitter about the idea of where does the line of nurturing our children and spoiling them become blurred. We were talking mainly on the idea of moms making lunches for their high school children. At first I was appalled at the idea of it. Even my 5 and 6 year olds help with packing their lunches! But as they explained their reasons, my judgy side had to take a seat. Some working moms said it was one last "motherly " type thing they could do for their kids. Some stay at home moms said their children's schedules between school, sports and jobs were so busy that they felt it important to take care of that little detail for them, less stress on their busy child. I get both of those reasons, they make sense to me and I can see their points.
I think it comes down to the attitude of the child, especially an older child. If they have the attitude of expecting us to take care of their every need, I feel we are failing them. As their parents, we absolutely want our children to feel safe and secure and taken care of of. But I think we can do that without tending to their every need in unnecessary ways…spoiling them.
The one thing on my parenting list of DO NOT DO THIS is raise a child with a sense of entitlement. There is nothing worse than a spoiled brat child who expects everyone to bow to them and give them their every desire. Except maybe a spoiled brat adult who acts that way.
Am I right?
So how do we care for our children, nurture them, provide their needs without spoiling them?
I'm sure there are entire books and psychological studies done on the subject but here is what I think…
It's about the expectations we have of others. I don't expect anyone to do anything above and beyond for me. So when they do, I am sincerely grateful. And that it what I work hard at teaching, by modeling, to my boys.
I'm a stay at home. I take care of most of the cooking and cleaning around here. And I don't mind, because, it's my job. BUT, I have a very strong motto that my children know well, and that is:
"I'm the MOM not the MAID."
So, I expect my children to make their beds in the morning. Sure I could do it, I have time. But it's a skill I want them to learn. And they are not going to learn it by coming home to a clean room and freshly made bed every day.
I have them help me pack their lunches. They see what's going into it and why. We talk about eating our veggies before our cookie. We talk about not throwing away things that could be eaten later, because food costs money and we need to be frugal and not wasteful.
They help with dishes and laundry and dusting. I could do it all, and on especially busy weeks, I might. But how will my children learn those life skills if I don't teach them? How will they learn that just because we are tired or busy or just plain don't want to, things still need to be done.
The laundry fairy is not real.
Oh how I wish she were.
I want them to know that I will always help them take care of themselves, but I don't want them to automatically expect that I will do everything for them.
When they are grown up, I want my boys to be equipped with all sorts of life skills. I want them to be able to take care of themselves.
Don't get me wrong, I spoil my kids. Plenty. But it has always been very important to me that while I spoil, I also teach gratitude. I'm proud of the fact that my boys are appreciative of the things that are given to them and done for them. I have worked hard at that!
I point out opportunities to be grateful. Child psychologists who have
graduated from the top psychology schools would agree that modeling is
one of the best ways to teach children.
I say things like, "Wasn't that nice of so-and-so to do for us? I sure am grateful for that, I think I'll send them a little thank you card!" I'm demonstrating kindness and gratitude through my own actions. And THAT is how we teach our children. That is how they become grateful.
They see it in us.
I model grateful behavior by telling my husband thank you for working so hard to provide our needs. By letting others go before me in line. By leaving the last muffin for someone else because I've already had two. It's about modeling unselfish behavior. "Wow, she was really nice to bring muffins for everyone. I'm grateful that I even got one muffin, much less two, I think I'll leave that last one for someone else rather than taking it for myself."
Our children learn by watching us. See a behavior in your child that you don't like? Stop and take a look in the mirror. Ouch. I know. We might not be demonstrating that particular behavior, but maybe we are overlooking it and not expecting more from our child?
No matter what we do for our kids or how much, when they respond with a "thank you", not an "it's about time", we have nurtured, not spoiled.
If my child says, "HEY, where's my drink?" Instead of "Mom, could you please get me a drink?" I have spoiled, not nurtured.
You can obviously see the difference. There is a thin line, but a big difference in outcome.
I still have a lot to learn about this subject, and so do my kids. But we are trying, and that is the most important thing!
What do you think about nurturing vs spoiling?
Boobies Are For Babies
I'm not a very controversial type of person. I'm a peace keeper. I don't like to blog about stuff just to create drama or get attention. But when my sister-in-law told me about an experience she had this weekend, I just had to say something about it. If you follow me on Twitter, you've already heard me say a few things about it and I just want to say thank you to everyone who retweeted on my behalf and encouraged me to speak up about it.
My step-brother and his family attended King's Island in Ohio on Saturday. He and his lovely wife are parents to two little boys and one adorable baby girl (no, I'm not jealous…much). While at the park, baby girl got hungry. The poor little thing was hot, hungry and tired. So, naturally, my sister-in-law did what any good Mom would do and found a place to sit down and feed her baby. She discreetly nursed her hungry baby in an outdoor pavilion where they hold shows and such. The place was empty and there was no show going on at the time.
A woman who works for the park came up to my SIL and said, "I'm sorry, you are going to have to find somewhere else to do that. WE DO NOT ALLOW THAT HERE."
*deep breath*
My SIL is like me. Quiet. Keeps to herself. Doesn't like to rock the boat. So she asked the woman, "Excuse me? What did you say?" Thinking surely she misunderstood.
Nope. She didn't. The woman asked her to stop nursing the baby and leave the area.
So she did. My SIL now says that she regrets leaving and not dealing with it immediately, but she was so angry and upset that she just walked away instead of causing a scene.
Sorry. BUT I'M CAUSING A SCENE.
I can bet money that there were boobs hanging out all over the place at the theme park that day. I will also bet not one of them was asked to cover up or leave the area because of it.
Since when is letting it all hang out ok but discreetly feeding a baby is not?!
Did you hear about Kim Kardashian tweeting about being appalled at a woman breastfeeding her baby in public? (Which I read about at Her Bad Mother, by the way, another great article about this subject!)
UM HELLO?! Pot calling the kettle black much? That woman has her stuff out for there everyone to see!
Now, let me just say, I don't think breastfeeding women should be whipping their breasts out for all mankind to see all in the name of breastfeeding. I think modesty and discretion are important.
But when it comes to my boys being flashed with a booby so a woman can feed her hungry baby or the baby left for hungry so as to not "offend" anyone, I choose to feed the hungry baby.
I'm not calling for a boycott of King's Island or anything dramatic like that (though I do believe they need to make this right with my SIL). From what I understand, others have had no problem nursing their babies there and King's Island even boasts a Baby Care Center where Moms can tend to their little ones.
What I am doing here is taking advantage of an opportunity to EDUCATE.
It is not always convenient for a Mother to "go find a different spot." Do you think we like to nurse our babies in the glaring sun in 100 degree heat with a blanket wrapped around us? Don't you think we would rather sit in an air conditioned room with privacy?
When a baby is hungry, YOU FEED IT.
You have the right to a vending machine around every corner. So breastfeeding babies should be allowed to eat whenever they like as well.
Does it make you uncomfortable to be around a breastfeeding woman?
P.S. – I didn't even mention the fact that it is ILLEGAL to ask a breastfeeding woman to stop and leave. You can read all about that HERE.
I rest my case.
Many thanks to my dear sweet sister in law for letting me rant about her injustices. 🙂
You Have Reached My Homemade Happiness
Hi there!
This is Tasha's blog. Sorry she is unavailable to share her latest recipes and parenting tips with you this week.
She is busy volunteering to do crazy things like bake 100 homemade biscuits, make enough sausage gravy for an army and boil 3 lbs of elbow noodles in an attempt to recreate Grandma Fletcher's famous Macaroni Salad (no pressure) for a family camping trip.
She will return to her normally scheduled life next week after washing 4 thousand loads of laundry that smell like camp fire and sweaty boy.
In the meantime, please feel free to browse me. If you would like to laugh, read this. If you want a recipe that will make you want to slap yo momma, read this. If you would like to think deep thoughts, find another blog.
Thank you!
My Homemade Happiness
Mommy Guilt: Homeschooling Edition
So I have been working really hard on overcoming my Mommy Guilt. Then I came across a blog post from MckMama about why they decided to homeschool. And it all came flooding back.
I have thought about homeschooling before, and I certainly agree with many of the reasons why so many people do. I mean, I get it. But we have decided that it is not for us. And then I read MckMama's reasons and I feel all…OMG I AM THE WORST MOM EVER.
But I know that's not true. I know that. But you know that feeling of why I can't I be that kind of Mom that haunts you?
The Mom who just loves her children oh so very much that she can't stand to be away from them for one single minute.
The kind of Mom that doesn't want other people to teach her children lest they do it wrong.
The kind of Mom who wants to be involved with every single learning moment that their child has.
The kind of Mom that thinks her children poop rainbows and sunshine.
I know, not every homeschooling/unschooling parent is like that last one. Just like every homeschooling mom doesn't wear a denim jumper with an apple crochet on the front. It's just my self conscious "I'm not good enough" self pity attitude speaking.
So I remind myself of the things that I do do for my children that makes me a great Mom. Like laugh really hard at typing do do and thinking doo-doo and then not fixing it.
We do teach our children at home. As often as possible, in many situations.
We engage with our children regarding their school work. We certainly don't expect the school system to do all of the teaching. And we don't leave all the work to the teachers.
We teach our children responsibility with real world consequences.
Our children see first hand the differences in families, cultures, religions, value systems…and we teach them about those differences, about how to value them, about how to stand up for what they believe amongst it all and and about loving, not judging.
We encourage creativity and my boys are some of the most imaginative children I know. Right now, after playing a rousing game of guitar hero, they are imagining they are on a Rock Band World Tour. They are using a map to decide which part of the world they will tour next and what songs will work best for those cultures. I may have just heard the phrase "that's not appropriate for that culture" used. (SO PROUD) Followed by "what's culture mean?" Followed by an inspiring explanation of culture by a 9 year old to a 5 year old. Also, "WOW, this stage really needs to be more organized, let's sort it all out." And, my favorite, "God music is appropriate for ALL cultures. So let's just do an all God concert." (I might die from the cute.)
See? Homeschooling.
I realize that people who homeschool can also teach their children these lessons in different ways. And I think that's awesome. FOR THEM. Not every idea, every way of doing something, is right for every person or family. Variety is the spice of life, right?
I do enjoy the time while my boys are at school. And I'm not going to feel guilty for that. I refuse to. I also miss them and when they return home, we have a long oh-how-I missed-you hug before the chaos ensues and I wonder how long before they get to go back. (I tease, I tease…or not…depends on the day.)
That doesn't make me a bad Mom, it makes me a REAL Mom.
We didn't rush our boys out the door for school. I have not put my boys in preschool. Chandler, our oldest, did go for one year before kindergarten for three days a week. He loved it. It worked for that time in our lives. But our other boys have not and I've kept them all in half day kindergarten as well. I know they will be gone all too quickly, all grown up, away from me for too many hours in the day. And that really does make me sad. It equally makes me happy in a way though, too.
They are learning, making friends, enjoying school (my kids love school, so far, I'm really lucky about that). I am home, with a bit more time to try new recipes, get the house for real clean instead of fake clean, and maybe one of these days actually learn how to sew. (Like for real sew, not having to call my Mommy for help, kind of sew.)
Yes, I'll have time for ME. I might even take a nap. Maybe that makes me selfish. But that's ok. I can deal with that. I spent a whole lot of years forgetting what the word ME even meant as I breastfed, changed diapers, learned how to make everything from scratch, taught my boys the alphabet and how to write their names and then promptly wiping the crayon off the wall….so many years…wonderful as they were, I am excited to get a break.
So sue me.
I am not the mom who can do all of those things and have my children at home. I mean, I can, I just don't want to. I'd rather be playing Just Dance with my favorite five year old than wiping the toilet. Having the boys home distracts me. The weekends are spent playing and lounging and loving. When everyone is home, that is all I want to do! So having them gone for a few hours during the day certainly increases my productivity!
To the moms who do all of those things and homeschool?
I hate you. I admire you. Good for you! Go for it! You are a TRUE supermom! I think homeschooling is awesome for those of you who can make it work.
I guess I just need to accept that I am just not that kind of Mom. And I'm slowly coming to accept myself for the Mom I am.
I love this post called "Choosing Public School in a Faith Filled Home" and I wanted to share it with you. I agree with many of her insights about why they choose to send their children to public school. I think the biggest one I relate to is the idea that I will not be able to always meet my children's academic needs. I feel so very ill-equipped for teaching my children. I mean, I can do the easy stuff, but I think Chandler who is 9 years old and a very advanced learner is already smarter than me. (Totally wish I was joking.)
I will teach my children everything I can at home and let the learning they do at school supplement what I miss.
That feels good to me.
I still have one little guy at home. A few more months until all of my kids are in school. And I'll be honest, (I can be super-duper no one is going to judge me honest, right?)
I dread the day he goes to Kindergarten.
And also?
I am so looking forward to the day he goes to Kindergarten.
Please say it's ok.
You Know You're A Mom of Boys When
Happy Mother's Day!
I wrote this a while back over at BellazizasFavorites.com and thought it was worth sharing again!
You Know You're A Mom of Boys When:
There is pee…everywhere…forget toilet seats, it's everywhere people!
There are numerous daily conversations about underwear, snot and butts…in a completely serious manner.
There are numerous daily conversations about underwear, snot and butts…in a completely ridiculous and silly manner.
There are underwear strewn about the house in very strange places for no particular reason whatsoever. (case in point)
We use the word underwear a lot.
I am ALWAYS out of food. They are like little garbage disposals.
There is no pink to be found, except for the clothes on my back. And I barely get away with that. ("Mom, that's a girl color!" HELLO! I'M A GIRL!!)
I have more hot wheels in my purse than I do cosmetics.
I break up at least 2-3 wrestling matches a day. Some with tears, most with screaming.
I can quote Star Wars…this is not something I am proud of, it's just a fact.
I can make shooting noises, differing between pistols and bombs and such…again, not a super proud moment.
It only takes two dressers completely emptied to cover a small bedroom floor with clothes. This fact has been proven numerous times and you will come to find out all kinds of things that can cover the floor when you have boys.
Body parts…don't get me started on that one.
Lego pieces can not be easily found in vacuum bags…or dog poop. Just sayin'.
Bath time is about the same as the "Will It Float" segments on the Late Show with David Letterman.
Photo shoots look like this:
And before it's all over with, like this:
I can't complain though. I really DO love being a mom of boys. Dirty underwear and all.
Because being a Mom of boys also means that I get to play Monopoly Jr on a Friday night and have my Momma's boy say, "Mom, I made our cars kiss!"
AND…Two Words: Coach Mom
Being a Mom of boys is something special, that's for sure. So bring on the legos up the nose and the "you're the best mom ever" Mother's Day cards with pictures of us shooting guns together. I'm ready for it all.
My Secret to a Clean House
My house is clean and I'm not afraid to admit it!
I get a lot of rolled eyes when people come to my house and see how clean it is amongst four males in the house. But the joke is on them. Because my house isn't really that clean. It just looks like it is. You want to know how? OK, I'll tell you my secrets, but you may never look at my clean house the same way again!
When the boys were young, I had to find a way to make things work. I had a newborn, a 15 month old toddler and a five year old…not to mention a husband. A clean house was on the way bottom of my priority list. I remember after Charlie was born, my Mom stopped by and I saw her face as she looked around. Toys everywhere, dishes stacked high, dust bunnies waving at you. It was not pretty. I had to change the way I did things. I couldn't let the housework suffer. My Momma didn't raise a slob. So I learned very quickly how to clean the house quickly and efficiently as possible.
OK, now for the secrets, you ready?
Clean as you go.
Everything has a home.
I know, not very mind blowing. Kind of a let down, isn't it?
But it's just that simple. If you are a working Mom, you don't have time to spend three days a week cleaning. And if you are like me, a stay at home Mom who is hardly ever home due to baseball and volunteering at the school or tending to little ones, you don't have the luxury of spending your precious free moments cleaning.
I clean the house one day a week. I do the laundry one day a week. That is it. Yet I still have a clean house and clean clothes consistently.
When I say clean as you go, here is what I mean: Don't leave for tomorrow what you can do right now.
If I walk past the garbage can and notice a that someone spilled something down the side of it, I stop right then and there, grab the wash cloth and wipe it up. You might think, "I'll get to that later when I clean the kitchen after dinner." No! Do it now! When you go to clean the kitchen later, that is just one less thing you have to do. Before you know it, that 15 minute clean up after dinner has turned into an hour because you have to wipe down the garbage can, clean that spill you ignored in the fridge earlier, wipe down the juice splattered down the cabinet from this morning, sweep up the crumbs still there from lunch…you get the picture.
If you clean as you go, you will save yourself so much time!
In the morning, I wipe the bathroom sink and toilet down after I get ready for the day. It takes me 30 seconds and the bathroom looks clean every single day. Then on my one cleaning day for the week, I go a bit deeper, clean the floors, clean the tub, etc.
I save vacuuming, dusting, sweeping and mopping for my one cleaning day. But throughout the week, I wipe down the dusty tv as I walk past it, I take the dust-buster to the kitchen floor after the boys eat (just under the table not the whole floor). When cleaning day comes, the messes are minimal compared to what it would be like if I would have ignored it the rest of the week.
Now hear me…Don't deep clean as you go, quick clean as you go. That's why my house looks clean but it might not actually be clean.
And it will serve you well to teach your kids this also. The rule is that we clean one mess before making another in the play room. My boys have been taught since they were very little to wipe off the toothpaste from the sink when they are done, wipe off the toilet seat if they sprinkle, put their dirty dishes in the sink or dishwasher.
The little quick clean ups add up very quickly to a clean house. Then spend your one day cleaning a bit more deeply. You don't have to focus on the little stuff because it's done already. You don't have to spend half an hour sorting through the mail to clean the kitchen counter because every day when the mail came you took a minute to open it, sort it and put it in it's home. So your counter is already clean and you can focus on mopping the floors instead. You don't have to spend half your day cleaning toys off the playroom floor to vacuum because every day you (or if they are old enough, your kids) took 5 minutes to pick up the toys.
Oh yes, one more thing, put those kids to work! Especially if you are a working Mom and your one cleaning day is on the weekend. You don't want to spend your entire day off cleaning! So take a Saturday morning and work together to get it all done. You will have a clean house and the rest of your day to do something fun! If you work and have little ones…you have my sympathy. Hang in there and just do the best you can!
If you can spend just a little bit of time making sure everything has a home, clean up time is much more efficient. I will write more about that and other organizing tips in time.
So does this make sense? I don't want to ramble, but it may be too late for that. LOL You can have a clean house and eat your cake too…or something like that.
I'd love to hear your cleaning tips in the comments section! We can all use a new trick or two up our sleeves!

Skagit Cellars welcomed to Manson
- Published on 2018-06-02 18:08:53
Manson Chamber of Commerce President Sandy Day, Board Secretary Mariah Pyle and Executive Director Debbie Conwell assisted Mark and Gloria Hulst, owners Skagit Cellars as they held a ribbon cutting ceremony signifying the opening of their new tasting room in the Manson Village Center. The Chamber brought a cake, ballons and coffee. Also, part of the ceremony were Tasting Room staff, Lisa Greenlee and Kasmira Elliot.
Mariah Pyle, Debbie Conwell, Mark Hulst, Gloria Hulst and Sandy Day
Skagit Cellars wines are produced in their winery located at Burlington, Washington. This is where all their wine is crafted from select Salmon Safe vineyards in Washington with healthy natural methods to ensure the lowest sulfite content possible, and healthy wine free of additives.
Besides the tasting room in Manson they have a tasting room located in beautiful downtown La Conner, Washington - 106 S. 1st Street. If you happen to be in La Conner on a weekend be sure to stop by for wine tasting between the hours of 12 - 6 pm.
Mark and Gloria both grew up in families that owned and operated small businesses. They have turn into real entrepreneurs with Mark owning an auto repair business in Burlington and Gloria with an auto body business in Mt. Vernon and Kenmore. Mark has been on the Mt. Vernon City Council for six years. Mark and Gloria have been married for 32 year and have three sons and four grandchildren.
Entering the wine business had not been in their plans. They started making wine at home as a hobby in 2008. Then in 2012 the hobby grew by using Tulip Valley Winery's equipment to produce even more of their excellent wines. The big move was in 2015 when they opened their winery in Burlington and the tasting room in La Conner.
Burlington production facility
When asked why Manson Mark said, "We've been coming to Manson for 20 years and we love it here. Our plan is to purchase land in the Lake Chelan Valley and move our winery here". Currently they make seven different wines and produce around 1,000 cases annually.
The Manson Tasting Room will be open seven days a week from 12 – 6. Lisa Greenlee will be your host Wednesday through Sunday.
Lisa Greenlee
And Kasmira Elliot Monday and Tuesday.
Kasimra Elliot
Lisa has lived in Chelan for two years and spent five years in the wine business in Woodinville. Kasmira actually worked for the Hulst's in La Conner and other wineries in the Chelan Valley for several years. Bottom line, lots of experience when you stop in for a taste of their great wine.

Now that we have finished "After Ever After," it is time to share what you thought about the book. Did you enjoy it, would you have changed anything about it, did you like it better than Drums?
5/2/2013 05:35:37 am
i liked this book as much as i did Drums Girls and Dangerous pie because I think the two book are very similar in what the really book actually talkies about. like in Drums Girls Steven has to deal with a person close to hime having cancer which is Jeffrey and then he meats a girl who ends up being his girlfriend and then someone he also knows dying of cancer (Samantha). In After Ever After it is almost the same Jeffrey who has had cancer before meets a person who has also has cancer (Tad) and then he has relapsed so he is having cancer again and he ends up dieting. So i think these two book are really good, but they are way to similar.
5/2/2013 05:44:58 am
As I sit here on the hard chair and think about this question, I wonder Jordan Sonnenblicks reasoning for writting a sequel to Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie. This leads into my answer to this question. I read last year both of these books for reading groups and book reports and I didn't dwell on them as much as I am now, personally myself I liked Drums, Girls better; to me it had more description, more heart-warming moments, and it had more desription and was more of a story. What I mean by that "more of a story" is in After Ever After, it was mostly Jeffrey and his friend problems, girl problems, and missing Steven. I would have like to see Jordan put more emphasis on this book; I would have liked to hear from Jeffrey how he felt during cancer and what he remebers from his miraculous journey at a very young age. Honestly, drums, Girls was more background and climaxs's. Samanta, Annette, All-City, and Jeff having cancer. To me, After, Ever, After didn't have much description and climax's. So, now you know how I feel about the book, I thnk this is my least favorited Jordan Sonnenblick book, for the fact not having much description, messages, and no major story. I mean if someone asked you, how would you some-up After, Ever,After and what is the major turning point for the character in it. I would make up some wierd answer. I mean what would say?? Tell me tomorrow....maybe you should ask the class that!

I loved this because it was so inspiring and interesting! I cant choose between after ever after and drums girls.they are both just so good and they really change your perspective!!!!!!
Chuck :p
5/2/2013 05:56:57 am
I enjoyed the book. I thought that it was well written and that it was a just good book. It had good detail. I did like it better then drums girls, but I am not sure why. It's just something about it that is better.
5/2/2013 06:01:20 am
Hmmmm.... Well I really did like this book. It was inspirational and touching. I would rate it 6.9, but not quite 7. I would have changed how at the end Jeffy found out about Tad. I would of had him find out before the race that Tad died and then struggle in his race and think of Tad to help him move forward. I think that might have made the book end a more special way. I don't really know which book I like better. I like in Drums, Girls how Steven grows more through the story more drastically than I think Jeff does. I like Drums girls maybe a 6.9 for Drums Girls too.
5/2/2013 06:31:39 am
I thought that the book was a really good book and I wouldn't really change anything about it. But I really did think that it was a very good book. I think that I like both books equally but I think that I would have to say that After Ever After was a slightly better book than Drums Girls and Dangerous Pie. I thought that it was a better book because it in After Ever After Jeffrey had more problems to go through than Steven so the book got a little more intense so I thought that was the only thing that made After Ever After a better book. In Drums Girls and Dangerous Pie Steven didn't really had to face many problems just he had to go through more changes than problems. But other than that I thought that both books were great books.

5/2/2013 06:34:20 am
I did like the book, even though it wasn't really my type. If I had to change anything to make the book better, I would have made Jeffery a worse biker, I would have made the bike ride 100 miles and I would have made the bike ride a lot more a big deal, kind of like the River Run.
Will Avery
5/2/2013 06:38:03 am
I absolutely loved the book but I would've added a conversation at the end with Jeffrey and Steven to me it would have made a huge difference. But either way it was very good
5/2/2013 07:02:59 am
I did enjoy the book After Ever After a great deal. I enjoyed it because it told Jeffery's point of view about his life. For example, the book talked about Jeffery's love life, his friends, and family. Jeffery also said the things he disliked about Steven, his biggest idol.
5/2/2013 09:16:21 am
I really liked After Ever After! It was a touching, well spoken and fantastic book! It was written extremely well and was a great sequel to Drums girls and Dangerous pies! I'm not sure which book I liked better because they were both well written books.. I think that After Ever After had more of a teenage writing where as Deums Girls wasn't as mature as the sequel! But they were both fantastic books that were touching and well meanings!
Lee Gordon
5/2/2013 10:22:54 am
I did absolutely enjoyed this book. I thought it was well planned out and very detailed. I did enjoy Drums Girls a little better because of the plot and the ending. I would not change anything because it was just what you want from a sequel. It is one of my favorite books.
5/2/2013 10:40:20 am
I think that After Ever After was a better book than Drums. It was cool to see Jeffrey's perspective when he was in treatment and what he thought of Steven as a 5 year old. I did enjoy After Ever After. I wouldn't change anything about the book except about Tad's heart failure but I think it would of messed up the point of the series. It made the emotional side of the book more effective. That is what I think about the book After Ever After.
5/2/2013 10:59:21 am
I thought the book was really awesome! It was funny and emotional! I thought that at the end, it was so meaningful and upsetting, but I loved the emotion in it. I know know If I liked drums girls. Better than after ever after. I think they are equall! I thought both books were spectacular! They were also very Inspiring at times! This book = the
5/2/2013 10:59:57 am
I liked this book more than Drums Girls because it is more humorous, I know there were sad parts, but look at the happy things. I didn't like how Tad died, I would have had him be able to come back and walk across the stage. So That could receive a diploma instead of having a liver failure and dying.
5/2/2013 11:47:48 am
I'm gonna have to say that I liked this better then d g and dp, only because I almost cried at the end and it was very emotional. I really did enjoy both books and I would like to read more Jordan sonnenblick books because I really like his style of writing. What book are we reading now? I really like these books and I loved this one-it really related to us teens!
5/2/2013 12:43:24 pm
This book was amazing! I loved it and think it was the best book we've read yet. I would not change anything. This book was discrivev and well thought and you could see it and the connections. Espeshaly the end .
5/2/2013 08:50:59 pm
I liked the book a lot. Thought it was really good and had the right mixture of funny, sad and weird. But at the end I was kind of confused because first his mom is crying and then the graduation and then they were talking about Tad not being there and no one ever just said that he had died. Then he went to the grave yard to talk to Tad and it did not really make sense to me. I liked Drums, Girls and Dangerous Pie better just because it was the orginal and you can't beat it.
5/2/2013 09:13:19 pm
I think that After Ever After is a fantastic book. In the beginning, Jeffery is sarcastic and grumpy just like Steven was. Towards the end, he got mature, just like Steven did in Drums, Girls, and Dangerous pie. I wouldn't change anything about it. I think Drums, Girls, and Dangerous pie it better than After Every After. The book has so many things that you can kind of relate to. You feel more comfortable reading Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie
5/2/2013 09:47:43 pm
I liked this book alot I personnally liked it better than drums girls why I like this book better is because I felt it was more in depth with his cancer and trying to stand up.I dont think I would change anything with this book I thought it was good as it was.

Ouch... always SARS to put a cherry on the top. I think some of the "older RA's are a beast to get out. So many choices and companies to use... FinGlobal, Expatri8 and Exchange for Free. Might have a look and see if I can do it myself when the time comes. Thanks for your great info. I read that Allan Gray is really great in assisting with this and do it in house.. maybe a bit of running around but cost saving might be there. With the other smaller RA's maybe best to cash out, pay tax and transfer as cash. Fingers crossed, this will all be more cost effective in 2 years time.
[at]JumpingJasonFlash thanks for that info. I guess there are always mixed results when working with companies. I have been researching anything and everything in order to get my ducks in a row for more immediate forms and processes as well as what will happen in 2 years time (eg fin emigration). Did you only contact FinGlobal or did you shop around? It's so difficult to put a price on the process. I saw a post on another forum where they quoted R38 000 to process a R200 000 policy. (nearly 20% ). Was your experience similar to this? Thanks
Phew, glad there are cheaper options. The research continues...
South Africa To Australia To Us - Has Anyone Done This Recently?Thanks for the info.. I am sure it has changed but this is in the back of my mind as I work remotely and enjoy working around the world.

Documenting the progression of musical prodigy and revolutionary American Industrial music pioneer Al Jourgensen. Both AL Jourgensen and Brian Shanley will be in attendance for the opening day of this exhibit.
WHAT: The rise of Industrial music in America can be traced back to Chicago Wax Trax and Al Jourgensen being at the forefront, collaborating with numerous like-minded musicians pushing the extremes in the electronic genre. Together with Brian's artistic eye, Wax Trax bold moves and Al Jourgensen's innovative ideas they were able to influence a whole new generation of musicians and can still be seen in some of todays biggest artists.
The show encompasses a spectacularly sordid array of images depicting the evolution of this visionary artist from club days to major labor success. Brian Shanley, photographer and art director for the legendary record label is responsible for much of the iconic imagery. Included are original album art/layout, concept designs, cut and paste flyers, magazine clippings, promo glossies, and a selection of unearthed photographs dating from 1980-1990.
Featuring: MINISTRY, REVOLTING COCKS, 1000 HOMO DJS, PTP, PAILHEAD, SPECIAL AFFECT, AND MORE.

ljArchive 0.9.5 released
Some minor bugfixes and some shuffling related to the move to sourceforge.
Bigger than that, though, is basic support for downloading and displaying tags. No support yet for searching/browsing by tags, but at least they're there now! They do get spit out when you write your journal to XML or HTML, at least. I've not done anything to arrange a forced sync, so you may want to back up your .lja file and resync from scratch if tags don't download for you, since ljArchive may not understand that there is information on the files it doesn't have yet.
See the sourceforge page at http://sourceforge.net/projects/ljarchive, or go right to the file download page if you're impatient.

Updated December 01, 2018 Dell's Inspiron 2200 laptop computer system is no longer produced by the company. If you are looking for a similarly sized laptop under $500, you can check out these 14 to 16-inch laptop selections. It may still be possible to find the Dell Inspiron 2200 in the secondhand market and this review is available for reference on the features available with it. The Bottom Line Oct 18, 2005 — While most budget computer systems tend to skimp on the processor included with them, the Dell Inspiron 2200 features a very strong Pentium M processor that allows it to have strong performance and good battery life. Of course, like many budget systems, it does drop a few ports and expansion options found on more expensive models. Pros Good Pentium M ProcessorCustomizable Cons Small 14.1-inch LCD for Budget VersionNo Media Card SlotLacks FireWire Description Intel Pentium M 735 (1.7GHz) Processor512MB PC2700 DDR Memory40GB 4200rpm Hard Drive24x CD-RW/DVD Combo Drive14.1-inch XGA (1024x768) LCD and Intel GMA 900 Integrated Graphics with 128MB Shared MemoryAC'97 Audiov.92 56Kbps Modem, 10/100 Ethernet, 802.11g WirelessThree USB 2.0 and One Type II PC Card Slot13" x 10.6" x 1.5" @ 6.0 lbs.Windows XP Home, Word Perfect 12, McAfee Security Center Guide Review — Dell Inspiron 2200 Oct 18, 2005 — Dell's Inspiron 2200 kind of resides between its budget 1200 model and their more expensive 6000 series. Some of the versions do classify as a budget notebook and it is these specifications that are covered in this review. It should be noted that this is a larger and heavier system typical of a 15-inch display. This is essentially because Dell uses the same overall chassis but fits in a smaller 14.1-inch display in the cover which results in a larger bezel around the display. It would have been nice if they designed a smaller chassis to match the display but this was likely done to help reduce production costs. Powering the budget Inspiron 2200 is the Intel Pentium M 735 (1.7GHz) processor. This is a much more powerful processor than what is typically found in the budget notebook category that is typically powered by the budget oriented Celeron line. It is matched up with 512MB of PC2700 DDR memory that should be sufficient for running most applications but it is certainly not going to used for really demanding applications such as Photoshop. Storage on the Inspiron 2200 is average. It comes with a 40GB hard drive for file storage and a 24x CD-RW/DVD combo drive. This means that the Inspiron 2200 can play DVD movies and also have the ability to create data or music CDs. Most notebook computers now though are shipping with integrated media card readers for flash memory cards used in digital peripherals. Unfortunately, Dell still has not included this in its budget computers. It does feature three USB 2.0 ports but does not feature the FireWire port that is common for transferring video from digital camcorders. Graphics on the Inspiron 2200 are a bit mixed. The system is designed to use either a 15-inch or 14.1-inch LCD panel. In the case of the budget systems, it uses the smaller 14.1-inch LCD screen even though the case dimensions are for the larger 15-inch screen. Driving the graphics are the Intel GMA 900 integrated graphics. This is fine for 2D graphics and basic 3D graphics, but don't be expecting to play and 3D games. Overall, the Inspiron 2200 with the 14.1-inch display is a decent system because of the stronger processor but you are sacrificing the display and the size of the system in order to get the faster processor.

How Can You Help Improve Your Financial Institution's Efficiency Ratio?
By Jim Yancey, Executive Vice President
The efficiency ratio is a useful tool in determining how efficient a bank or credit union is generating revenue. There are many different ways to calculate the number, but typically it is stated as the ratio of general and administrative expense (overhead) as a percentage of fully taxable equivalent revenue. The lower the number the more efficient the financial institution operates.
Another way to explain this ratio is, on average what did it cost the institution for generating one dollar of revenue? So for an institution with a 55% efficiency ratio, it cost them 55 cents for each dollar of revenue generated. So, the more overhead in terms of labor cost, occupancy, and other expense—the higher your efficiency ratio.
Why should we care about the efficiency ratio? Well for one, many groups such as investors, regulators and even some account holders use this measurement to determine the institution's value, competitiveness and their viability. While it is only one measurement, it is considered by many to be an important performance measurement that influences critical business activities, such as becoming a customer or member, being acquired or for regulators to limit certain practices.
What size institutions were more efficient during 2011? A recent analysis by Fred Brother at FIS illustrates that larger financial institutions had a significant advantage over smaller ones in terms of overall efficiency. As a rule, larger institutions are able to justify the cost of acquiring efficient technology, which in turn helps by reducing their overhead and especially their personnel cost.
So if your institution is $10B in assets or smaller, how can you help your institution become more efficient? Since personnel expense typically represents the largest portion of overhead, usually 50-60% of your total overhead expense, implementing efficiency technology solutions can go a long way in optimizing your personnel expense. This type of investment can lower your institution's overhead, which subsequently improves your institution's overall efficiency ratio.
FMSI has been in the business providing branch performance management and labor cost optimization technology solutions since 1990. Over FMSI's history, our solutions have produced significant client bottom line results, which has improved their overall efficiency and favorably impacted their efficiency ratio number.
If you would like to learn more about FMSI's performance improvement solutions, call Gordon A. Williams, IV, EVP Business Development at877.887.3022 (Toll Free).

Pandora Bracelets with Charms already on
A key aspect of the new Pandora Essence Collection is the use of a silicon lining inside the silver core (please note that it doesn't replace the silver core.) This ensures charms will sit tightly on a bracelet. For those skeptical of this method, it works very well for Danish brand Lovelinks.
Overall the collection feels far more contemporary for me. Gone are the dangling animals and cute love hearts so often associated with the traditional charm bracelet concept. In come clean spherical designs with bold colours.
The edge of each charm is engraved with the name which you can just make out on some of the pictures above.
Pandora Essence Collection Availability
The Pandora Essence Collection will debut globally in concept stores on November the 4th. Independent retailers should receive the line in January 2014. For those in the UK, have recently converted part of their business to a Pandora concept level store, ensuring Essence will be available on the 4th of November.
While many Pandora collections begin sale far before their official launch date (as can be seen with the Pandora Christmas 2013 collection already available in the USA, ) Essence will not be available prior to it's global launch.
Pandora Essence Collection Pricing
With the magazine advertisement came a little confirmation on pricing for the UK market:-
- Pandora Essence Bracelet – £49
- Pandora Essence Charms – £25.50 each
The charm pricing is certainly more reasonable than initial rumours had suggested so I'm delighted to see this news.
Pandora Essence Collection Summary
Pandora have finally begun to break their silence on the Pandora Essence Collection and as such it's been an exciting week for collectors. I think it's worth stressing that while this new system could be a beautiful complement to your existing Pandora charm bracelet, they're in no way meant to be compatible. The original Pandora charms will presumably fit the new Essence chain, however Pandora are recommending not to do this. The Essence charms, by contrast, will not fit the original Pandora bracelet system.
Pandora Essence will represent the brand's first real experimentation with gemstone charms and that alone can be terribly exciting. The advertisement above clearly shows both faceted and smooth cut stones and I'm currently deliberating whether the Pandora Peace Charm could be a blue goldstone (am I perhaps the only one to see sparkle in that top right stone?)
As always I love to hear from my readers. What are your thoughts on the initial Pandora Essence Collection charms and indeed the line in general? Are you looking forward to seeing more of this or are you already secure in your decision to indulge? Hit the comments and let me know!

What do you do when you've created a comic book series that's become more successful than you ever imagined? Branch out. It's what Robert Kirkman did once The Walking Dead established itself as a hit, and in the webcomics world Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik of Penny Arcade have been doing the very same thing -- and their creation keeps getting bigger. And last summer, when their $250,000 Kickstarter campaign generated double its goal, they included some ambition stretch goals -- one of which is coming true next month.
In February, Penny Arcade will launch Strip Search, a reality/competition television series in which 12 cartoonists live together in a house and compete to win a $15,000 cash prize and space in Penny Arcade's Seattle offices for a year, complete with support from the company with merchandise, marketing and infrastructure.
Described by Krahulik as "Hell's Kitchen for web cartoonists," Strip Search isn't a new idea -- CBR did Comic Book Idol for several years -- but rather a new format. The show, which is being produced by the comedy troupe/video studio LoadingReadyRun, will feature 12 up-and-coming cartoonists including indie artist Erika Moen. Filmed late last year, Strip Search will debut in February at Penny Arcade's PATV and will also appear in some unannounced other venues. For more I talked with Penny Arcade's Jerry Holkins, along with Robert Khoo, the comic franchise's president of operations and business development.
Robot 6: Big, big news, guys. For those just catching up, what exactly is Strip Search?
Jerry Holkins: Strip Search is, among other things, a reality show where cartoonists compete. So, it has many of the touchstones you see in shows of that type, but the challenges and the overall structure focus on craft and practical skills inherent to art and cartooning as a profession.
The impetus, financially at least, for Strip Search came from your recent Kickstarter fundraising drive. How exactly did that happen?
Robert Khoo: The concept for a "webcomic-based reality show" had been kicking around Mike and Jerry's heads for a while, but it wasn't until mid-2012 where we really sat down and hashed out how the production would work. We've planned our fair share of incredibly complex events, but what we didn't know was whether people would be interested in it. The Kickstarter stretch goal proved to us that yeah, this was something people wanted to see.
What are your goals, overall, with Strip Search?
Holkins: Well, the goal when we started was to make a reality show. That happened, certainly, but that's not all that happened. I'm not entirely sure I'm the same person I was when we started making the show, and I would be surprised if many of the contestants said the same thing.
You recently announced your 12 finalists – what exactly will they do in Strip Search?
Holkins: They'll be made to suffer terribly in a fine house we rented for them, while they do battle with one another for cash and prizes. Literally.
What are the challenges and eliminations like?
Khoo: The vast majority of events are designed to stress test the different facets of a professional webcartoonist. For instance, one of the earlier challenges is to work with Penny Arcade's design team to create a real-world product. To put even a little more skin in the game, we'll be offering said product for sale online, with the profits going to the winner of that specific challenge.
Was it hard judging other artists, Jerry?
Holkins: It was incredibly hard, harder than I would have expected. I mean, the overarching scenario we were judging them in was fairly ridiculous, right? They were contestants on a show, playing a kind of game, but at the end of everything -- when you have to send people home -- you're engaged in a very human endeavor. All the irony melts away.
I'm told that a bulk of the filming has already been done – so is the winner chosen but sworn to secrecy right now?
Khoo: Maybe.
What exactly will he or she win?
Khoo: They win a $15,000 cash prize, along with a full year integrated into the Penny Arcade machine. That means office space, access to all of our business folks, and our designers, etc.
If something like Strip Search was around when Jerry and Mike were first thinking about doing Penny Arcade, would you have tried to be involved?
Holkins: I would have been too scared. Mike could have done it, and probably done fairly well; this competition is very much for solo proprietors of sequential art -- single individuals who can cover all the bases when it comes to making comics. It's not really designed for writer/artists teams, like the one we have at Penny Arcade. Maybe in another season? Let's keep an eye on that.

March 2, 2018—1 Corinthians 1:18-25
This reading, with its reference to foolishness, will—spoiler alert!—make an appearance in Easter Sunday worship, which this year takes place on April Fool's Day.
The final verse of this reading goes like this: "For God's foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God's weakness is stronger than human strength."
Charles Campbell makes a connection between Christian ideas of foolishness and nonviolent resistance. He points out that the central act of Protestant life in a sense is reading scripture and preaching about it. This is the most powerful thing we do?
We don't persuade people with political savvy or coercion, might or threat. We don't even technically make promises that by being an active Christian you'll get bonus points with God—instead we say that God's love is a gift you simply have to receive!
This is utter foolishness to much of the world, that we would use non-threatening, peaceful words to rally the troops and to seek to influence people. Our way looks pretty weak in comparison to the influence of the military might that is brandished by ISIS, North Korea, Russia, and even (and perhaps more than anyone else) by the United States.
And yet the ways of the Word, of Jesus's words, have inspired Gandhi and black churches of the mid-20th century south to live by the power of the Word instead of the sword, and by relying on the Word, they toppled the British Empire and the Jim Crow laws (kind of).
Gandhi and the Civil Rights movement were inspired to turn the other cheek, to go the second mile, acts that Campbell compares to the performance of a court jester, who makes the power of might look ridiculous in the face of nonviolent resistance.
Today we can see some parallels between previous nonviolent movements and the students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School who are confronting the epidemic of school shootings not with guns of their own but with their own sermons of grief and hope. They seem to be preaching that escalating the presence of guns may not make our schools stronger but mostly more fearful.
God who hangs up the bow (Gen. 9), whose "weakness is stronger than human strength" (1 Cor. 1:25), and who dies on a cross rather than escalate violence on earth: this God is foolish in undying love to us. But as we discover on Easter, if we put our faith in human strength over our foolish God, then the joke's on us.
