r3sunz When our children are little Santa is real. As they get older and start to question we tell them that Santa was a real person who did nice things for people and we carry on his tradition. I have a friend who doesnt do Santa not for religious purposes but...

You allow your child to interact with other children of different values? Are you a good mother if you don't feed your child the right foods everyday? I have seen mothers who allow their children to hand out with other children...

r3sunz I believe that if you keep your children from other kids based on your values and beliefs as they get older they will more than likely flock towards that group that has been "off limits". We need to instill in our kids a good sense of values so that when...

r3sunz Great idea to make your own sauce. You can even freeze it so you have it all year and can just take a container out of the freezer in a hurry. We use alot of generic products especially things like diced tomatoes, tomato paste, beans, juice, crackers. Things...

I was thinking about Christmas, which is one of my favorite holidays. It's not because of the presents as much as it's about the music, the decorations, the smells, and the colors! I love all that. Christmas music is so happy...

r3sunz I think stress eating is a huge "comfort" to alot of people so in that regard yes it can make you gain weight but I'm afraid people also use it as a cop out for their weight. Believe me I do!
