Every week or so I’d like to share the links to the things I’ve been reading online.  Sometimes these links maybe helpful to someone, but mostly they give a glimpse into what is going on in my life and the life of my family.

I’ve been trying to read a little of therawdivas every day.  I’m trying to cut out diary and wheat from my diet and Tera’s posts remind me (yes, I need reminding!!) and encourages me to keep going.  3 days so far!  No cups of tea, no chocolate and no pasta or bread!  But feeling good!

While we are at it I am trying to increase my green smoothies.  This morning it was my favourite, old tested and true mango, banana and greens.  Delish….  I need to venture out and try new combinations.

My kids were introduced to Go Fish at Christmas time with the CD Snow.  They love it – we are still listening to it – yes, way past Christmas!  We are trying to get more of their music.

I appreciated these thoughts on How to teach your Children about Responsibility

The Heart of the Matter article on 10 Essentials for Car Rides gives some good ideas.   We travel into town at least once a week  and though this is only a short trip I like the kids to have their bag of things, or at least a book, so they can read if/when I get held up.  When my kids were little we always took books into the Chemist.  They would sit there and read while I would wait in line or talk to the pharmacist.  The kids do this when we go clothes shopping too – it gives me the mind space to focus on whoever I am shopping for.
