Does anyone camp?

Vickie7978 @Vickie7978 (164) • United States 7 Apr 09

We are set up for our first camping trip of the year on May 1st. I find camping to be the easiest and cheapest vacation for our family. The kids enjoy it and we don't spend a fortune. Last year we used tents, then borrowed my...

Do you let your kids get dirty?

Vickie7978 @Vickie7978 (164) • United States 17 Mar 09

I saw a commercial where the mom has her baby in a bubble to keep him from getting dirty. What's with this? My sister-in-law is the same way. She has tons of wipes with her all the time and I've seen her give her kids 2 baths a...

If you are in a relationship do you seperate your familys?

Vickie7978 @Vickie7978 (164) • United States 16 Mar 09

I seperate my husbands family from my own. I see it as his family, my family and then the kids as ours. He sees everything as a whole. This has caused us a few problems over the years since I am not comfortable mixing things...

Odd but funny way to learn about your horse.

Vickie7978 @Vickie7978 (164) • United States 5 Jan 09

As I've explained in a previous post, we took in a stray horse back in August. Since he was so starved, we have not considered any type of training until spring. He is currently a frisky, healthy, spoiled baby with no bones...

Advice with feed please.

We are now at day 13 taking in a stray horse. After 30 days we can claim him, but I don't want to risk putting to much money into him as long as the owner can still get him back. He just popped up in our backyard,very hungry with...

From the mouth of a 4year old mind.

Vickie7978 @Vickie7978 (164) • United States 26 Aug 08

My daughter pulled a really good one on her dad the other night and I thought I would share. I was telling hubby about a dumb momint I had that day. I can't even remember what it was now. He popped me on the forehead and said,...

Trip to Florida with the in-laws. Scream or Dream?

Vickie7978 @Vickie7978 (164) • United States 26 Aug 08

My mother-in-law is insistant we go to Florida with them next June. The first thing I can't get past is how she has never once asked, "Would you like to go?" She just tells us when hubby should take his vacation. Then there's the...

Are the schools getting too involved?

Vickie7978 @Vickie7978 (164) • United States 5 Aug 08

I just noticed a new item on my kids school website. There is a download link for a pre-approval form for doctors visits. They do say with the exception of an emergency, but for an vision or dental visit the appointment has to be...

Just put up my new clothes line

Vickie7978 @Vickie7978 (164) • United States 12 May 08

We got two clothes line poles from a cousin who was throwing them away a couple of years ago and it took me this long to get them up. Guess he figured it would be nice to save for a mother's day weekend. I went to Fred's this...

My kids have proven how selfish they are!

Vickie7978 @Vickie7978 (164) • United States 1 Apr 08

Over the last few years we managed to take in 3 homeless dogs which my kids just "had to have." I love animals and of course have become the care giver even though I was "promised" I wouldn't be. I decided a few weeks ago to see...

Why am I always the bad guy?

Vickie7978 @Vickie7978 (164) • United States 24 Jan 08

I'm going to admit before I even begin this that I did have a reputation for being hot tempered in my younger days. Since marrying and three kids later I have learned a great deal of patience and forgivness. However I do have a...
