Organic or home grown food?

butterflygirl @butterflygirl (498) 28 Mar 08

Which do you think is the best for you - organic or home grown food? Personally, we grow a lot of our own vegetables and I like the fact that I know exactly what has been used to grow them and where they have come from. With...

1 response

butterflygirl I agree, organic certainly is quite expensive. We are very lucky to have a garden big enough to grow vegetables in, but don't forget you can grow quite a few things in small containers or windowboxes, such as radishes, lettuces and a wide variety of herbs. If...

luvingmygirls @luvingmygirls (493) • United States 27 Mar 08

If someone asked you for just one tip on how to be a great parent or how to raise a great kid? If they just wanted to know what you thought the best thing to remember about being a parent was? What tip would you give...

butterflygirl I would say that the best tip I could give to a parent would be talk to your child. Talk to them about what they can see around them, encourage them to look at their surroundings and to talk about what they see. Explain what's going on in the world around...

Do you read out loud or silently???

luvingmygirls @luvingmygirls (493) • United States 27 Mar 08

I have noticed that when I am reading to myself I end up reading the words out loud. I don't know why but I do. I always tell my daughter to read to herself and then I feel like a hipocritical when I catch myself doing it. Do...

butterflygirl Hi luvingmygirls. For some reason if I read out loud I find that I can't actually remember anything that i've read, it just wont stick. So for me it's much more preferable to read silently. I'm a teacher and it's very common for children to read out loud, I...

Do You Let Your Guinea Pigs Have Outdoor Time?

Pigglies @Pigglies (9329) • United States 25 Mar 08

Do you tip the person that delivers your pizza?

SusanShayAvon @SusanShayAvon (1003) • United States 27 Mar 08

butterflygirl Yes I always tip the pizza delivery guy. Partly because we tend to order pizza fairly frequently (usually once a week) and as it's the same guy who does the deliveries we feel like we know him. And secondly because our pizza shop is only a 20 minute walk away...

What kind of '...a-holic' are you?

Can Money Buy Happiness?

rosie_123 @rosie_123 (6113) 22 Jul 07

butterflygirl Hmmmm...I wouldn't have liked that. I usually don't mind if a close friend or family member asks if they can have something off my plate, but to take it straight away, to me that would seem rude. It's a funny thing though because I don't mind sharing a dessert...

Have you tried sculpting with Polymer Clay?

craftcatcher @craftcatcher (3699) • United States 27 Feb 07
