Anyone know a good poison ivy remedy?

momof3inTN @momof3inTN (89) • United States 14 Jun 07

My kids have been at it again. You'd think they'd rolled around in the stuff. They are covered from head to toe in poison ivy. They itch and are totally miserable (they are 7 and 5). Does anyone know of any home remedies for...

Favorite drink?

momof3inTN @momof3inTN (89) • United States 13 Jun 07

What is your favorite drink, wait, let me clarify, what is your favorite non-alcoholic drink? Mine is iced tea. What can I say? I'm southern. There's nothing like sitting on the porch on a hot summer's day with a glass and a...

momof3inTN @momof3inTN (89) • United States 11 Jun 07

Just curious but what have you seen people doing while driving that is crazy? Anything goes. Mine is either 1) the woman putting on mascara (yes, the car was moving at the time and her eyes were on the mirror) or 2) the man who...

Should teens be allowed to drive?

momof3inTN @momof3inTN (89) • United States 5 Jun 07

Just looking for opinions. Anyway, I heard this morning that an average of 19 teenage drivers are killed everyday. I know that if kool-aid killed 19 people a day (on average) it would be pulled from the store shelves. So, why do...

momof3inTN @momof3inTN (89) • United States 30 May 07

I've noticed a trend towards more unusual names for children. I was just wondering what some of the more unusual you've heard are or have used? For me, my daughter's name is the most unusual I have heard. Her name is Nafeeza...

momof3inTN @momof3inTN (89) • United States 29 May 07

All three of my kids have had them now. My daughter (8 months old) woke up last night and 2 nights ago and 2 nights before that and, anyway, you get it. Well, she was screaming like someone was hurting her but she'd just been...

More strict or more lenient?

momof3inTN @momof3inTN (89) • United States 26 May 07

So, here's my question. Are you, as a parent, stricter than your parents were with you or are you more lenient? Now, I'm the parent and I find myself being stricter than my mother was. I screen shows before I will let my...

I know it sounds like a strange question but everytime I've had a house that has already had a rosebush and that rosebush will have spread out and about past where I would want it to be. Now, I have just gotten the first rosebush...

Herb gardens anyone?

momof3inTN @momof3inTN (89) • United States 25 May 07

I have flower gardens and a vegetable garden this year but I have always had some kind of herb garden, even when I lived in a tiny apartment. I like to plant herbs not just for cooking but for medicinal purposes as well. Who else...

Homeschool socialization

momof3inTN @momof3inTN (89) • United States 19 May 07

As a homeschooling mom who was homeschooled I absolutely hate the whole "socialization" issue. Most homeschoolers (those who aren't totally isolated) have NO problems with socialization. As a matter of fact, most homeschooled...

momof3inTN @momof3inTN (89) • United States 19 May 07

Every stay-at-home mom needs a break from the kids every once in awhile. I know I sure do. I'm a stay-at-home mom of 3 beautiful children. I love my kids with all my heart and with everything in me but even I need to have time for...
