How’s things in your world? It’s all cupcakes ‘n flowers here in mine. The Princess Child went all homemaker this weekend and made cupcakes, washed her clothes, dried and folded them and cleaned the kitchen. I’m not sure why she is accumlating brownie points but we’ll just go with it. I bought myself a lovely bunch of flowers because the colour makes me feel happy. Do you have a favourite colour? It’s definitely hot pink or purple for me.
Surfing the Net
Love this piece by the Kids Are All Right on Are Our Kids the Me Me Generation.
Also thought this article on parents allowing underage drinking highlighted the difficulties of trying to parent teens when other parents have different beliefs on how to do it.
Two Tips For Creative Bloggers by Brene Brown was a great post (and interesting website) pointed out by Pip Lincoln.
I think it was Father’s Day weekend over in the US someone linked to this 1981 column by Erma Bombeck Daddy Doll Under the Bed it really is quite beautiful.
Finally this post on adoption made me cry.
Hope you all have a fantastic week!
Thanks for sharing our article Janine – I loved all the comments we received, not least of all yours :). I also love Bene Brown so looking forward to having a read of that as well as the article on underage teenage drinking. Why aren’t there more hours in the day?
I know, why won’t someone pay me to sit at home and surf the internet all day WHY??? Also, there’s a comment on my FB page from a lovely lady called Susan thanking me for introducing her to you site.
wow, that was a serious erma bombeck – and sad! she was really funny, and our family had her books when we were little. i think you are australia’s up-to-date erma bombeck, and i hope you publish lots of books !
You are beautiful Noreen thank you.
Thank you for the share. The Daddy Doll under the bed made me cry, so very sad.
I love how a simple thing like flowers can have such an impact. I have just discovered your blog and love it. I am a newly single mum to 4 teenage boys so could really relate to the article about the me generation.
Thanks for stopping by Linda – you must be busy with 4 teenage boys! Glad you liked the article by The Kids Are All Right – they have some great info for parents of teens.
