Hello Kitty was the rage while I was growing up, and every girl had something with the famous kittycat… Apparently Sanrio’s little kitten struck a cord with girls everywhere because her popularity is still going strong, and today many women my own age (and even a guy I know) still collect and proudly display Hello […]
We eat healthy in my home, but unfortunately my little man was never a big eater, regardless of the type of food offered to him. He was an avid nurser, and then went quickly from a chubby infant to a slim, active toddler in the span of a few month. So how do I ensure […]
As a child I was bullied. At the time it made me feel very small and unprotected, like an outsider, and I wondered what was wrong with me that I was being targeted in this way. Years later I was still sensitive about the things I was teased about as a child. As a child […]

This is a daily fear of mine, that my one of my children will come home and say they’ve been bullied.
-
I just don’t understand how kids can be so mean!
-
It’s such a sensitive issue these days, especially since young teens are committing suicide over being bullied. How horrid to feel hopeless at 12 and 13.
-
This is a huge fear of mine for my kids. They all are small for their age and very shy so they may be prime targets. Ugh
-
i had to deal with this when I was in school . its certainly no fun

These are good tips. I actually have an experience with my 13-year old boy who was teased by a teacher because of poor mathematics when he was about nine years old. unfortunately I came to learn about it after the said teacher had left the school. I have tried to counsel him but to no avail. As a result of the teasing/bullying he hates maths the more to the extent that his performance has become poorer and poorer even in secondary school.
To make it worse he believes that he was just cursed by this teacher that he will never get good grades in maths. May be to the teachers out there, please the children come to school because they want to learn so it is no crime that they do not know because this is the very reason that you are employed to teach them what they do not know.

Great post. This is one thing I am most afraid of for my kids because I was bullied so much in school.
-
What a great post. My son was bullied and I nipped it in the bud really quick. I don’t stand for that to or from my kids.
-
LOVE this post. It is soooo important to stand up to this. I am like you, I would see RED if some other person bullied my children. I seriously would march right up to them and scare them! You hear about bullying all the time and it is so sad. One time I watched a video that was on a bus, and kids were beating up this child for NO reason. He would get up, sit back down and then be hit in the head again. He just sat there and looked down. I cried SO hard. And that damn bus driver did NOTHING!!! I was shocked. Praying this NEVER happens to our babies!!! I will do anything I can to help spread the word.
-
This makes me want to cry…poor thing, he was knocked down and being hit in the head??? Ugh! Makes me SICK!
-
I was fortunate in that I was never bullied. But I fear that my son could be. He is a sensitive, kind-hearted boy. So, we are 90% sure we will be homeschooling him during middle school, which I’ve heard nothing but horror stories about.
-
It makes my heart hurt to think of children experiencing this! 🙁 I never really thought about the bathroom thing, but that makes total sense!
-
Great post! Awareness is KEY!
-
I haven’t had to deal with this as of yet, but my daughter is quite young. It is bound to become an issue at some time though, due to her disability. Kids can be mighty mean.
-
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words scar for life.
In this house, my husband does the laundry (mainly because we don’t have our own washer and dryer yet and he doesn’t want me going to our condo’s basement alone to do our family’s laundry). His biggest complaint about the laundry products I buy are the fragrances- he does not like the perfumes. My biggest […]

This post brought to you by Platinum Guild International USA. All opinions are 100% mine. Platinum jewelry is gorgeous, the metal most women hope to get as the setting for their engagement rings and wedding bands… if only it weren’t so expensive. Many people resort to white gold as a second choice, which is a […]

Your choice is gorgeous and looks a bit like my engagement ring!
-
That ring is beautiful. I love platinum.
-
That ring is so pretty and very simple which always makes a statement!
-
wow, that ring is stunning
-
I didn’t realize it until recently, but my mom has a platinum band. I’m thinking it was a lot more affordable back then, but it’s so beautiful!
-
That ring is pretty!
-
It took me 12 years to get mine… I love what you picked!
-
Love the Platinum.
-
My engagement ring is platinum but my wedding band is white gold. Big mistake.. I should have spent the extra $400 then for platinum because now I have to pay $50 a year to get it dipped so it’s white and not yellow 🙁
-
How pretty!
-
I’m with you toots! Your selection is divine!
-
The ring is beautiful. I never thought of platinum for a wedding ring before, but definitely see the benefits.
-
Those rings are so elegant. I am a fan of platinum jewelry as well.
-
I’d love to have my rings replaced after all of these years (32)
-
Those are beautiful!!
-
That’s beautiful.
-
I love Platinum! My ring is white gold and I love it!
-
Love your choices!
-
My sisters ring in platinum. She loves it!
-
That ring is totally gorgeous.
-
Love your choice!!
The Hello Kitty bong is so classy. LOL
I couldn’t imagine myself drinking beer with Hello Kitty on the label lol.
Love that Hello Kitty Maternity Ward/Newborn Nursery ;o)
It’s not a bong, it’s a beaker.
Never mind sorry, I didn’t read the whole thing. The bong is homemade?
