As a child I was a very picky eater. To be honest, I still am more picky than I would like to be. However, I am now willing to try most any food, so I at least know that the foods I don't eat, I actually don't like.

I've found that most of the picky kids in my life aren't just selective in what foods taste good to them, but they too, are Read more [...]

My dad and my brother are both pretty handy guys who do a lot of work on houses during the summer to make extra money. As a kid I would go with them sometimes, when they had jobs to do on the weekends. I remember being drawn towards the insulation because it was often bright pink or yellow. Whenever I got close to it, they told me not to touch it because it would make me itchy. Now as an adult, I still think "don't touch it, it's itchy" whenever someone mentions insulation. As a kid I grew to dislike Read more [...]

While the ds game allows Read more [...]

I remember often taking in the babies in the family, so that we would have pictures of them to hand out with the older children's school photos. I remember one time in particular, we took my little sister in for photos when she was about two. We had to wait on people who had gotten there before us, and my little sister got tired of waiting in their tiny waiting room Read more [...]
