What are some of the things that your parents taught you as a child? I'm asking specifically about manners. Below are some that stand out in my memory, as taught by my mom. Respect your elders. Keep your elbows off the...

athomemommy I learned to respect my elders as well. Actually respect and listen to any adult. Cover my mouth when I yawn, sneeze or cough. Don't hit or bite. As I got older I was taught to be nice and make good decisions when it comes to interacting with others. And...

athomemommy I would have to say McDonalds are the best... with Wendy's at a close second! Wendy's are always thick and nice and salty- while McDonalds are crisp and alittle greasy at times... YUMMMMM! ~at home mommy~

Do you prefer red wine or white wine? Or does it depend on the meal you re having. Personally I prefer red during all occasions. I would rather not drink white wine at all, but I will if the occasion insists.

athomemommy I prefer red wine as well. I do believe it is an acquired taste though. Its hard to find a "good Red" that is under $12 dollars. If anyone knows of any please let me know! I will drink white if I am at a day time shower or if it is offered and Red is not...

This is a great site for some info. I've known the lady that runs it for a couple of years now! I enjoy buying and selling on eBay and I love to hear great tips? Got any tips to share?

athomemommy I have sold on eBay before. Mostly womens fashions and some childrens clothes. I bought a "How To" sell on eBay book and I remember it saying that childrens clothes are HOT items to sell! Especially if you can sell them with tags! Good luck selling on eBay- it...

athomemommy I think that is the best thing to do... Be honest if she asks for your opinion. But otherwise just be supportive and just be there if she needs you- even if its just to vent. Sometimes in these situations it seems if you say "too much" you end up loosing the...

athomemommy This is a tough one. Mothers and fathers have such an impact on thier children and most times do not know that depth of that impact. The slightest off hand negative, non supportive comment can crush a childs confidence. I do believe a lot of times that when a...

athomemommy I agree... It is so different for every child since all children are soooo different. I am finding that my 7 month old - he is actaully turning 8 months tomorrow is very laid back. It may have to do with the fact that I fed him on his schedule - not mine......
