brynnesmom I've tried sleeping with my daughter and then leaving when she was asleep but then she would wake up during the night looking for me. And she still has a hard time getting herself back to sleep when she is alone.

brynnesmom I've always thought that travel should be a requirement for our education system! Not that that's really possible but I agree that it is a wonderful way to learn things. And Cape Town is beautiful!

brynnesmom Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium and phosphorus and sunlight is a significant source of vitamin D. I take it in the winter because we have such short days and we don't get outside much because of the cold. You can also get it from foods like fish, eggs...

brynnesmom Thanks for the input! Yes, spaghetti sauce is one of the easier ones to be creative with. I decided to stretch it out a bit by making a bechamel sauce with parmesan and a pinch of nutmeg. That made the meat sauce nice and creamy. Then I put it in a casserole...

Do you prefer ebook for reading?

icecubic @icecubic (1845) • Indonesia 3 Feb 10

Today, any kind of story, knowledge, etc can be read on your computer, mobile phone, PDA. I'm used to download free ebook from my favorite sites, but i think reading on the "real book" is more efficient for me. So how about you?

brynnesmom I'm going to check out fictionpress since I've been picking away at some fiction writing myself. I agree with your opinion that reading a book offline is cozier. I love to curl up in a chair with a good book, especially after my husband and daughter are asleep...
