Something actually good on TV

seems that even the good shows have gone bad. Giving us just enough plot to keep us satisfied and talking about it till next week. Or the reality shows that had a great, new, unique formula so they did season after season after season. I don't want to hear Donald Trump tell one more person 'your fired!' or Jeff Probst tell another Survivor 'the tribe has spoken' even Amazing Race is the same thing over and over and over again.
But all that changed last week when we discovered Survivorman http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/survivorman/survivorman.html

One show, one hour. It begins, it ends. It's REAL. And Les Stroud's ability to make fire is astonishing!
Anyway, you should check it out! There is good TV left out there!!

Better Bedtimes brought to you by

A poster board!! LOL! Really it's nothing different than we've always done, but writing it down (per the suggestion of http://www.pantley.com/elizabeth/content/ncsstpsummary.htm) has made life less stressful!!
As those of you with 3 year olds (or BTDT) they can be...well...difficult at times. We were having tantrums for the first time in Carter's life. But THE BEDTIME ROUTINE has made peaceful nights! Whew!!

Happiness is

Picking out your own clothes and getting yourself dressed for the first time!

(yes, that is 4 shirts!)

What is a blog?

I know that most of you are blog expert's, but for those newbies about how about a little blog info
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog

There are blogs about TV, blogs about families adopting, blogs about food, blogs about current events, blogs about celebrities, you can also find blogs about your favorite show, it goes on and on.

If you want to manage your blogs you can check out sites like www.bloglines.com there you can subscribe too all of your favorite blogs and when someone writes a new blog it will be updated there.

Hope that helps a bit!!

Why a blog?

Well it's something I've been thinking about for a long time. I love reading other blogs, I'm sort of addicted to peeking into others people lives. So, why me? Well first of all I have lots of thoughts that I'd like to share with someone (anyone!) and my dear sweet husband and kids might be a bit tired of my rants ;) My most important I wanted a blog as a peek into our lives. I hope that family members and friends will keep up with up and check in from time to time. To see what cute things the kids are doing, places we've been, and yes, those rants I was talking about earlier!

So, sit back and enjoy the show! Thanks for visiting! Do leave a comment!

Oh, one final thought, as soon as I figure out how I'm going to make this blog 'private' so you will have to have a blogger account (at least I think). Leave me a comment here and I will add you to the 'in' list! I do this for several reasons, I'm going to be sharing pictures of the kids and I don't want some creepy Internet predator using them for something perverse. And I don't want to have to be worried about what I post, where we live, where we've been....I don't want those creepy Internet perverts showing up at our door. But getting an account isn't hard and it will all be worth it, I promise! Just look at these kids and tell them no :)
