technology vs. old style ;)

I love to read! I buy a ton of books but i don't read e-books. It's weird for me to read online because you have to sit there forever to stare at the screen. Opinions- computer or book to read?

brynnesmom I'd pick books over computer everytime! I like to get comfy on the couch with a cup of tea and a blanket. When I'm holding a book I can curl up and relax. Holding a laptop just doesn't appeal to me, I'd spend more time trying to find a comfy way to hold the...

brynnesmom I helped my daughter learn how to fall asleep in her own bed in stages. We also have a consistent bedtime routine which I think is important because it clues your little one into the fact that it's time to wind down. We always have a warm bath, brush teeth,...

Reading vs television or internet?

bystander @bystander (2292) • Philippines 2 Mar 10

The coming of television has dramatically affected the reading habit of many people. Instead of reading the news from newspapers and magazines, they'd rather watch the six o'clock or late evening report. In research, instead of...

brynnesmom Hello bystander! I enjoy television and the internet but when I have time to myself I almost always head to the library to find a book. I love to stoll through the stacks and pick up books at random and in every section, both fiction and non-fiction. I prefer...

If given the chance, would you be a homemaker?

Phyrre @phyrre (2317) • United States 2 Mar 10

This is something that I've been wondering increasingly about lately. Since I was younger I've wanted to ultimately be a housewife and tend to the home and the children. I want a part-time job to keep myself sane (mostly while the...

brynnesmom I was a teacher when I met my husband. We got married and then, when I was 40, had a daughter. I stay at home with her and I love it. This was something my husband and I agreed on before we got pregnant and I think it's important for you both to be in...

brynnesmom I love popcorn! And since I only go out to a movie a couple times a year I definetly get a big bag. The ultimate movie theater treat for me is sprinkling M&M's into the popcorn. Yummy!

Amazing how cheap it can be to grow your own Fruits and Vegetables

gogierm4ge @gogierm4ge (398) • United States 2 Mar 10

We bought a strawberry plant for $2 and it is much cheaper then to buy groceries at the store, sure it takes a while to grow but it saves much more money. What are your thoughts on growing fruit or vegetable plants?

brynnesmom Kids are tactile creatures, they learn a lot by touching things. My daughther plays with worms and chases grasshoppers when we're outside. She loves to help me plant seeds and she's filthy by the time we come inside. But this is how she learns about nature,...

brynnesmom I make homemade soups of all sorts, I think they are so much tastier and better for you because you can put in fresh ingredients and control the amount of salt and fat that goes in as well.

brynnesmom I enjoy left over pizza cold but with hot sauce sprinkled over it. Actually, I can't eat pizza, hot or cold, without my favorite hot sauce on it! I try to keep healthy stuff in the house so when we treat ourselves to pizza I definetly indulge.

brynnesmom I don't understand, why weren't the bitten child's parents watching him? How can they possibly transfer responsibility for their own child onto you when you were all in a public place?

brynnesmom I'm not sure but are you asking for the origin of the expression 'dead ringer'? In the middle ages a lot of people were buried who weren't dead yet. When grave diggers dug up coffins to make room for more bodies they found a lot of coffins with scratch marks...

brynnesmom I don't know if I'd be a beach bum if I lived near a beach. When I get to go on a beach vacation I can't wait to get into the water! And I love laying on the beach but only if I have a good book to read because I get bored otherwise.
