Oh boy, I'm sitting here on a Sunday night after a weekend full of shopping for this, that, and the other. I did manage to avoid the "bagillions" of folks who camped out (in some cases on Thanksgiving day!) to get in on the "Black Friday" hype-no thanks! I even read where a department store [...]

I thought that it should be fitting to see how a fellow American mommy is dealing with the recent terrorist attacks in India. She has lived there for a few months as her husband works for the American govt. They are stationed in Chennai. While some people are dealing with the issues of greed on [...]

Thanksgiving: What the kids think

So as a mother, I've often wondered about the Thanksgiving impression I'm making on my kids, so here are their responses, in their own words: Sarah/14:  It's always busy, and we're always cooking.
