I'm LEARNING how to Blog!

Thank you Holly and Becky! I have been so confused about some things that I just got! So, I didn't grow up in the generation of computer (I think I might be dating myself)... so I tend to be timid about things on the computer. I've been so worried that I'd mess something up that I was just adding things the only way that I found out and I stuck with that. So I was adding everything to the customize part and frustrated that I couldn't get anything to go to my older posts. I didn't realize that it was different than posting something! So I'm super excited because I feel like a lightblub has gone off and I can do it. A lot of frustration has left and I think I can do this now! Thank you Becky! I appreciate you're willingness to help me through this.

When you are ready to learn how to put music and slide shows on I can teach that too. You are a great student (once I understood the question) I would love to help you more. I love to blog and there is still so much I have to learn about it. Also if you want comments to be sent to you first instead of someone posting a oomment strait to your blog, I can show you how to do that. See you tomorrow.

I am so glad Becky is there to help, because it was difficult to try and explain things over the phone. It is much better to have it right there to learn hands on. The blog looks great, and I am excited that now we will get to see more of you now. :0)

My parenting plan!!

I have been thinking a lot lately of what I need to teach my kids to help them become independant physically, spiritually and mentally so when they turn 18 they will be able to survive on their own. The last 9 years has flown by so quickly I can't believe it. Nine more years and my first child will be old enough to be on his own. That is a real wake up call for a mother who hasn't prepared her children for those important days. I realize that I have gone on way to long without a list of what needs to be learned and done by what age so that my kids will not be horrified when they get out into the world alone. So, I've come up with a list of most everything I can think of that would be important for my kids to know and learn and what ages they should be capable. Of course, every child is different and is capable of different things at different ages. Some learn things faster and are more motivated. Others would like to just live in the home cave for the rest of their lives and have no motivation to do any of it. So, I am including my fairly flexible plan. But if you let too many years slip by, you may need to up the work to fit everything in. I got most of my ideas from a very experienced LDS author (Merilee Boyack) who has raised several children successfully! So, hopefully you find this as helpful as I do!
