This is our pet bunny Smokey.
When we tell her to come, she doesn&#8217;t come. When we tell her to jump, she doesn&#8217;t jump.
But when we dangle a carrot a front of her, she&#8217;ll go anywhere the carrot leads!

When I am shopping, I like to give a compliment to the clerks.
I look hard for something to give a sincere compliment. &#8220;That&#8217;s a nice necklace you have on&#8221; or &#8220;I like that color of nail polish on you.&#8221;
My ulterior motive is, if I am nice to them, they will give me better service!

What do we say to our children when they make an ugly face or cross their eyes?
&#8220;Your face and eyes are going to get stuck that way!&#8221;
In the same way, we can get into a habit of being negative and critical of our children that we get stuck that way.

You read it right. My mother-in-law lives with us.
My father-in-law passed away of cancer about 10 years ago, and she has been living with us for about that long now.

Summer is a great time to catch up on reading, both for yourself and for your children. The libraries and bookstores are nicely air-conditioned, and the seats are comfortable!

I haven&#8217;t had time to post the last few days - Summer vacation started!
Are your kids home for the summer like mine are? Do you find yourself out of routine, off schedule, and seem to get nothing done?

Have you noticed that It doesn&#8217;t come off well when we tell our girls to dress modestly?
Yes, we&#8217;ve been told we are old-fashion, we are too conservative, we don&#8217;t know the current styles, we are out of date, everyone else wears it, etc., etc., etc.
