Parenting & Pregnancy > Toddlers Toddlers fascinated by poop: Poop smearing behavior: 1 of 4
When my oldest daughter was a year and a half, she discovered there was a nice little paint tray in her diaper. Her favorite time to paint was nap time. She would wake up, not making a sound to alert us that she was awake. I would think to myself that she was sleeping for longer then usual and would go up to her room. Sure e... More..
Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: The joys of being pregnant: 4 of 15
Being pregnant is a joy in itself. From the moment you discover that you are in fact pregnant, whether it's been planned or not, you feel that flutter of happiness. For the first few months, you wonder if you really are, aside from the morning sickness you might experience. In the last trimester of my 3rd pregnancy, I didn't... More..
Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: Death of a loved one: 44 of 88
Dayna still remembered the day is though it were yesterday. Her and Geoff had been married for 5 years. They had no children because they wanted to be settled in their jobs before starting a family. They wanted life to be comfortable for their children when the time came. That day, Dayna and Geoff had sat at the dining room ... More..
Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: Pets: 20 of 38
Snowball. My first baby. She was a chihuahua terrier. My mom and I picked her up from a home one evening after school. I was in grade 8. She had been beaten in the home previous to the place we'd picked her up from. She would cower at everything. I always hoped to get her over that. I fell in love with her the moment I laid ... More..
Computers & Technology > Website Reviews Comparing Facebook and Myspace: 11 of 17
I have used both Facebook and Myspace. To be completely honest, I very much prefer Facebook. So many more people are on Facebook. I'd say about 75% of my family members, including my parents, are on. Only a handful of my family are on Myspace. When I first got into Facebook, I met a very old long lost friend. I had moved whe... More..
Relationships & Family > Family Bonding How a road trip can foster family communication: 22 of 29
My family and I recently took a road trip together. It was my husband, myself and our two young children. The girls ages were 4 years old and 18 months old. We were heading for Florida, from Ontario, which was a 3 day drive. This meant 8 hours or more in the car, hotel overnight, stopping for bathroom breaks and meals, and a... More..
Entertainment > Celebrity Commentary Favorite actors: 34 of 42
My most favorite actor of all time is Johnny Depp. Anyone who really knows me, knows that. I am collecting all his movies. He is a man of many faces, in my opinion. He doesn't aim for blockbusters, in fact, I read that he doesn't want to make any. Then he made Pirates of the Caribbean. He plays such different characters. I w... More..
Health & Fitness > Alzheimer's and Dementia Living with Alzheimers: 11 of 13
Long before I had to accept that my grandfather had Alzheimer's, I worked on the Alzheimer's unit in a nursing home. It helped me prepare for what I would face in a few years when we discovered that it had afflicted my own family. But it's different. In a nursing home, the people you are working with tell you stories and do ... More..
Relationships & Family > Siblings The relationship between brothers and sisters: 50 of 58
My brothers and I have always had an interesting relationship. My youngest brother used to think of me as his second mom, when he was little. I was 6 years older then him, and 4 years older then my other brother. When my youngest brother got a little older, it seemed me and my older brother picked on him. But no matter how m... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Churches & Organizations Testimonies: Youth groups and what they offer: 7 of 8
Being the assistant youth group leader in our church, I have different ideas of what a youth group might offer. While a teenager might think it's about meeting friends and having some place to hang out on a Friday night, I see it as a time to get kids off the street and out of trouble. But it's not just that. It's the time t... More..
