What has happened parenting? I see so many parents who want to be their child’s friend. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve told my 9 year old that, “I’m not here to be your friend. I’m here to try and mold you into a productive member of society.” Our new neighbors have barely [...]
My boys are really into these Silly Bandz. Even my 3yo. They even managed to find a package of Army shapes. Here, Aaron is showing off his pirate shapes, and the three humvees Zach gave him.

If you’re interested in finding some new blogs to “like” on Facebook, head on over to MamaBytes for Facebook Friday and click some links. Link up if you have a page yourself.
