Bike suggestions
I will never forget the look on Ethan's face when he got his first “big boy” bike…PRICELESS!
The best thing about the bike is, it’s truly “green”. I bought the barely used bike at a local consignment shop. The green paint wasn't shiny, but my son could care less.
He’s happiest when he’s riding it on a warm, sunny day. ☀ However, now that our 4 1/2-year-old son is starting to outgrow it, Ryan and I would love to get him a new bike. Any suggestions?
We've also been trying to find a pink toddler bike for Emily, our petite 2-year-old.

We Need Policy Not Plates
I have always been a fan of Jillian Michaels. Click here to read her opinion piece. She makes some valid points.
On Facebook, she recently posted: "Check out this piece I wrote on the new food plate... Look out... I get pretty fired up."

Thank you Mommy
5/19/11
I tucked Emily into bed. She told me about the fun things she did throughout the day, such as: playing outside, watching mommy kill a black widow, finding a roly-poly, having a snack, and watching a cooking show with Ethan. We prayed together. She had one last sip of water from her favorite princess sippy cup. I kissed her goodnight. Then, as I was leaving the room she said: "Thank you mommy for water...milk. Thank you for changing Emmy's diaper."
My heart melted. It took me back two years -- when Ethan was the same age, he also thanked me for changing his diaper. It's a breath of fresh air to hear kind words come out of my children's mouths, especially thanking me for a job that's not always pleasant.
Parents: Just remember, every single time you change a diaper, you are expressing an act of love. When your child is old enough to speak, they will eventually thank you for it. I thanked my mom for changing mine. :)
