Do you ever find it hard to separate the two duties(for lack of a better word)? I love being both a wife and a mom and I know that I need to put my marriage first at times so that my kids will have a stable foundation, but it is...

amaleigh73 I totally understand what you are saying. As my children get older (7 & 5 now) it is getting easier. They are getting more independent and don't "need" me as much. I really struggled with this when I had my son (firstborn). It was all so new to me and my...

I have two or three friends that only buy organic foods. I like to eat healthy but I'm not a fanatic about it like they are. Some people say it is a "hoax" and companies think they can charge more if their product says "organic"...

amaleigh73 Several years ago I went to the gym and used an elliptical. I loved it. . .the low impact, being able to go forward and backward to work different leg muscles and it got my heart rate up. About 2 years ago I decided to get one for the house. I went with the...

Most people embellish their resumes. In fact, there's quite an art to wording accomplishments so they the reume will appear better than they actually were. But if you are not forthright about your information do you know...

amaleigh73 That is just a bad idea. . .if you get a job based on your resume it will inevitably come back to bite you. Nothing good can come out of lying about your experience or skills.

A friend of mine told that it is not good to have eggs for dinner. Is that true? Whatdo you all think? Do you have eggs for dinner?

amaleigh73 We just had eggs for dinner last night. My children like it when we mix it up a little and have breakfast for dinner. I wouldn't say eggs are "hard" to digest but they do have a fair amount of protein and I was told by a doctor (when I was pregnant and...

I've been hearing about married couples that have separate bank accounts and whatever they make go into their own account. They consider it "their" money? I'm not sure what I think about that. My husband and I share our accounts....

amaleigh73 I joke about that too. . .what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine. . .but I don't really think that. I think it is so important to trust each other with spending habits. Anything over $50 we both have to agree on. I heard a good rule to follow. If an item...

amaleigh73 I also have a separate account for my home based business. That is mainly for convenience of not having to figure things out for tax purposes at the end of the year. Makes things easier :-)

Do you make your weekly schedule around your favorite TV show or sports event? Or maybe you just record it. I don't think I've ever gone as far to plan my day or evening around a TV show. There are shows that I like to watch if I...

What is the best or funniest bumper sticker you have ever seen? There are a lot funny ones out there and then some that are just rude. One of my favorites is "I'm not speeding, I'm qualifying" (refers to NASCAR). I love reading...

amaleigh73 I used to love the Smurfs. I wish I could remember all their names. The only merchandise I had was a small plastic Smurfette figurine. (Spell check does not like the word "Smurf"!) That was when Saturday morning cartoons were okay to watch.

amaleigh73 I like to stay in my PJs and curl up with a blanket and a good book. I usually end up taking a short nap somewhere in there, too. This rarely happens with 2 young children, but it is still nice to think about :-)

Normally, I look forward to Thanksgiving with my family, but my brothers aren't getting along with each other right now. So this Thanksgiving could be a rough one. One year, we canceled family dinner. So I went out in the woods...

amaleigh73 Just the other day Sally, our cat, was trying to look out the window. She was standing on only her two back legs for the longest time. She had great balance. I wanted to get the camera, but knew if I moved, she would stop. Sadly, I'm the only one that saw it.

I tend to pick things up here and there and then set aside a time when I can get everything else that I need. What about you? Do you set aside a whole day and get it done? Or do you pick things up all year long?

amaleigh73 This was on my daughter's Christmas list also. I didn't buy it yet. I think if I already owned it and my child was of the recommended age, I would let her keep it - only using it when supervised. I guess now I will take it off her list - I most likely couldn't...
