I really like how you went into depth about the instruction. <br /><br />It's funny, I actually recently published a Step-By-Step guide about Popcorn Recipe that I think it might be a nice addition to your page:<br /><br />https://veggiesecret.com/popcorn-recipes/<br /><br />Love to know what you think :D<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Laura.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04491038995531863119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935739210085608950.post-17439060756704505172011-05-10T19:44:32.238-06:002011-05-10T19:44:32.238-06:00Love seeing what photos Sophia takes.

Unfortunately, I'm finding that even if you are fulfilling your dharma (I'm as close to it as I can be at this point in time) that does not mean it won't feel like work. Yet, do I enjoy a day spent rolling out dough and talking to customers about wine infinitely more than I did answering phones in a cubicle? Undeniably. It's just that the cubicle sent me a paycheck once a month and that would be a nice thing to have now too. However, if I fail in this venture, at least I will know without a doubt that it wasn't because of lack of passion, or work ethic ;)Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02869487860693416151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935739210085608950.post-83176562581297570822011-03-09T15:36:31.538-07:002011-03-09T15:36:31.538-07:00My kids get away with doing way too little.

I happened upon your blog because it was on another friend's blog list. This blog could have been written by me. I feel exactly the same way and have made exactly the same mistakes, particularly with my oldest who is 7. He also cannot tie his own shoes yet and I was just fretting about it this morning. He also cannot ride his bike without his training wheels yet. I am trying to make the same changes you describe, but it really is hard. In this fast-paced, busy world I don't want to have to wait for my son to hurry up and get his shoes tied so I can get to work. But I realize how ridiculous and selfish that is. My kids should always be my first priority and raising them to be independent adults is one of the most important things we do as parents. Thanks for the insights and the validation.squidddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00636959123697599455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935739210085608950.post-66423305996926365432011-03-07T06:24:26.112-07:002011-03-07T06:24:26.112-07:00Sooooooooo timely for me!!!!

He explained to me that it was just the film, although I did not really understand until later that night when we saw something old school on the TV in "Technacolor," and then it hit me like a ton of bricks.

My time alone spent at home fills me and I NEED it to be able to have the energy to do social things. This past few weeks has been filled with way too many social engagements for me, and I could really use a week like the one you described.

It was a really fun project. My idea was to sing and play the guitar and perform his song for him on his birthday - but I never did learn to play the guitar - so I just sang it - and I made the mistake of looking at his face about 18 seconds in - and then I lost it - so then I cried through the whole thing. The performance was pretty lame - but it was fun anyway. Someday I'll learn to play the guitar too and I'll sing it for him again - no crying this time!mushbellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02130606141750807898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935739210085608950.post-70092717032169536442010-11-24T09:15:12.262-07:002010-11-24T09:15:12.262-07:00Such a great post.
