defcon505 @defcon505 (919) • United States 21 Jul 09

I do believe in ghost. While I never come close to close with a ghost, I have heard many ghost stories. Telling ghost stories was part of the way my parents do when they want us to sleep. Even do that some exaggerated, I know that...

irisann66 I don't know if I really believe in ghosts; but I do believe sometimes a person's soul/spirit or a part of it stays behind. Whether there is a desire or need that part of a person's being feels that it needs to be a constant part of that particular "site". I...

irisann66 Your right about the reading. I am a STRONG believer in reading as much as possible while they are young. I even have my teenagers read to the younger kids. It's good for both of them. I know all my children have a great appreciation for reading & learning. I...

irisann66 You are right - about the steak knives obviously; & having the older kids help more. Actually just recently in the past couple of weeks my 7 yr old has been much better about including & helping to "corral" the 3 yr old's actions. The 7yr old is more...

Going Green

happyness3 @happyness3 (394) • United States 21 Jul 09

What are some of the things that you have done as a mom to go green? I have changed the type of cleaners that I use to 'green cleaners'. I have also changed all of the lightbulbs in my house to the more efficient ones. I am buying...

irisann66 I am more conscious about recycling my cardboard, plastic containers, and plastic bags. Those are big in our house. We have also started a vegetable garden; and that will make a big impact on our veggy consumption - much more healthy.

Knitted clothes for our children

jugsjugs @jugsjugs (12967) 21 Jul 09

Do people still Knit clothes anymore for their children or even get them off other people as a gift?

4 responses

irisann66 Oh, yes. My mother & mother-in-law still knit. My grandmother still crochets as much as she can since she is legally blind. My mother also does quilting. They are the best gifts & they last for a long time. I appreciate every piece that I receive for me &/or...

Bethany1202 @Bethany1202 (3431) • United States 21 Jul 09

There are so many things today that try to offer a modern twist. One thing I have found is companies offering products that vibrate. (Get your mind out of the gutter...) I have seen vibrating toothbrushes, vibrating razors,...

irisann66 I use a standard toothbrush, hairbrush, nail file, etc. because that's what I prefer. I've tried various vibrating things & always tend to go back to the non-vibrating.

Would you die for your beliefs?

incredibleDNA @incredibleDNA (1742) • Philippines 21 Jul 09

irisann66 You know that feeling doesn't end with the first. I have 4 & I felt that way about all my children. It's surprising how much you feel for your children. And you really don't lose those feelings as they get older. You just feel for them in a different way...

irisann66 I absolutely love pedicures. The massage, the soaking in hot water; nice! But I only go to a salon/spa once in a great while to get it professionally done. I usually do my own pedicures; and do them for my girls as well. They love it. And I do too. During the...
