    Birthday Party Consultation/Planning?...

    True... I don't know much about cleaning companies (never used one!) so I think I may do some research into whether or not they do the short term type of thing or not. It may be something offered as an a la carte type thing too... Hmm. Just thinking out loud. Appreciate all the feedback!! :o

    Birthday Party Consultation/Planning?...

    That seems to be the consensus... I'm thinking maybe instead of a birthday party planning business, I should start looking into a birthday party clean-up business! :idea: What would you pay for someone to come in and clean up after your child's birthday party?

    How much video game/tv time is OK for 7 yos?...

    I have two boys and 1 girl, all 7. We have a Wii as well as an Xbox 360 and a computer. The kids of course all love their games and tv shows/movies, but I'm finding that they tend to get a little obsessed with wanting to be on them all the time. I try to curb the time they spend on it...

    My Son Started Reading Harry Potter!...

    I know that doesn't seem like big news... but he's 7 and in 2nd grade. He was very interested in it and I was proud that he wanted to move beyond books with pictures in it (even chapter books). He reads a couple pages to me every night and is doing great at it!

    ADHD & Wheat...

    My 7 yo son has ADHD and isn't on any medication. I'd like to use it at a last resort and try other options before going there. We were referred to a nutritionist and they recommended a diet change, specifically, cutting out wheat and cow's milk. We've done this for about 3 months and while...

    Birthday Party Consultation/Planning?...

    So basically scratch the levels and just stick with the last one with a free consultation and doing it from supply to clean up? I like that idea and really that's what I would prefer to do. I thought maybe the levels would be easier for some people who just wanted a little help with things, but...

    Birthday Party Consultation/Planning?...

    So I absolutely LOVE planning my kids birthday parties. We've had parties from a backyard carnival, to magic, to fairy flower garden. Personally, I'd rather have something at home rather than go to Chuck E Cheese, or a bounce place. However, what I find is that some parents aren't sure about...

    Why flash mobs bring me to tears....

    I've always wanted to be a part of one, but seem to miss out when they happen around here. I should just figure out how to organize one lol

    Homeschooled NIGHTMARE...

    I recently discovered online public schooling. I don't have my kids enrolled in it, but have a friend whose son is. It's completely free and they provide all of the materials because it's considered a public school even though it's done at home. They do an assessment with the child and give them...

    Hi there!...

    I just joined the forum so I can pick the brains of other parents and just have a place to chat and vent as needed when stuff goes on at home. So I guess the same reasons everyone else is here :D My name is Kristina and I have 1 son and 2 pseudo step-kids (boy and girl twins), all 7 years old...
