Text of the page (random words):
which has great antioxidant properties as well i just pulled out a 3 year old bush of chard a month ago don t over cook your veggies keep the nutrients in by eating them fresh or lights steamed or stir fried they taste much better that way anyways to keep your garden healthy and productive start a compost bin i am always amazed at how those scraps of left over food and yard waste turn into dark rich soil the only amendments i add to my soil are mulch and manure my plants are healthy and productive i don t get all fancy with fertilizers when i have tried that i suffered plant atrophy i am a keep it simple gardener see that nice compost i just turned in oh my garden is happy the best part is that it is free you can put all produce and yard scraps rice egg shells noodles and breads in the compost don t add anything with fat or meats of any kind compost shouldn t smell bad mine has lots of cockroaches in it pretty disgusting but they don t carry over into the garden and pretty much stay put i add some de in the compost now and then to get rid of them but they are harmless happy gardening my friends i got my garden in late this year due to our fall break vacation but i have faith that the plants will flourish and provide i truly love being outside playing in the dirt i love to see life come from my hard work and i love that i can feed my family food that i know is free from pesticides good luck and get to work posted by shari goodman at 8 22 pm 0 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels garden gardening veggies wednesday october 16 2013 the new age there has been a topic floating around in my head for months now and after several conversations about it this week alone it s time i pen it out if you have kids you have had this same conversation in your head you can t hide from it you can t pretend it isn t here you have to face it and make your own set of ground rules you will probably change the rules as you go the world has changed it is the new age like it or not when my oldest child was 13 he was sure he needed a cell phone that was almost 7 years ago and they were still fairly new in the teen world not only did he think he needed one he was sure he was entitled to one needless to say that didn t go over well with me entitlement is not something that will ever go over well with me i decided that he wouldn t get one until he understood what he really needed in this world and that no one is ever entitled to anything also i was a bit scared to let this into my parenting world his own phone would mean that he had more discretion when it came to who he was texting and calling i wasn t ready for that well grandpa surprised him and me and got him one for christmas i was sort of happy about that because i didn t have to give in and the battle ended he ended up getting the point no way was i going to let him have a smart phone or the internet on his phone he didn t get a smart phone until he was 18 fast forward i now have another 13 year old and he has a smart phone with the internet i have changed the rules a bit and let me tell you why for better or worse we live in a different world no we don t always have to change with it but on this point i have chosen that i need to adapt my set of rules why well your child will have access to the internet no matter what their friends have phones they can even get on the internet on their phones at school facebook twitter instagram will all be part of their teen lingo you can hate all of that but missionaries are now starting to use facebook as a tool to spread the gospel it is just part of our new world it seems scary that the same tools that can be used for good can also carry with it such evil teens will most likely encounter pornography at some point in their youth they don t even have to search it out it is there everywhere i feel that as a parent my job is to teach them how to live in this world without falling prey to it s pitfalls if you simply remove all temptations which you can t and keep them away from all technology which you can t are you teaching them how to use self control and prudence if they don t practice restraint now what will happen when they get out on their own and mom isn t there to monitor i am a firm believer that kids must be taught the importance of being obedient not just how to be submissive they need to learn that with bad decisions comes natural consequences in life this is what we need to teach them so how do we teach them i think the very most important thing we can do is talk talk talk so many parents can t even say the word pornography let alone have a discussion about it if you can t talk to your child about sensitive subjects they will never feel comfortable talking to you about it these words shouldn t be taboo kids need to understand why we don t want pornography and immorality in our lives yes it should be obvious but remember we are talking about teens their brains don t always tell them the right information i have had very open conversations with my kids about what pornography will do to you we discuss why it will destroy a marriage a family a person we discuss how images will never leave your mind i am open with them about when i was 8 years old and saw the cover of a playboy magazine at a neighbors house that was left on a table to this day i can still see the front cover i want them to know that even though it wasn t my fault that i saw it it is still there permanent in my mind i want them to know the very dark part of what pornography will do to a person i want to paint the clear picture of why they never want to participate teens will be curious that is all part of the plan things will pop up and they will see it but you need to teach them what to do when it does talk talk talk i ask my son all the time if he has seen any boobies or naked ladies lately maybe blunt but if he does i want him to be able to say those words back to me and not be scared i hope he always can say he hasn t but i am not naive anymore just because i allow my kids to now have smart phones doesn t even for one second mean we don t have rules yes they need to practice some self government but not without some limitations they aren t ready for complete self government yet they do need a little help here is how it goes down in our household 1 our home computers are in open spaces we use k 9 parental controls it is a free filter download and we have used it for 9 years it works great and the kids can t get past it no naughty stuff allowed 2 i have parental controls on their phones they can t delete their history even if they tried or go to inappropriate sites you can access this on an iphone by following these steps at least on ios7 go to settings go to general go to restrictions click on enable restrictions create a passcode tap on websites tap on limit adult content you re done that will also make it where they can t have private browsing or delete their history that is a new feature before this was allowed i had check history all the time as noted in rule 3 3 if i ever saw their history deleted the phone was gone i am allowed to have random phone checks at any time if anything is every questionable the phone is gone i can read texts instagrams whatever nothing is private they need to learn that what they put out there can be read by anyone forever 4 overuse of the smartphone is a disease i have to remind myself of this sometimes also life will happen without them if they are always on the phone if they are on it too much or late at night it is time for me to either take it away or for them to use their own restraint and put it away they need to learn this to carry into adult hood i am trying to practice this as well 5 i have made sure that photos cannot be streamed back to them location services need to be turned off so some crazy hacker can t find my child go to their settings again and turn off location services for anything that can track them it s an easy fix i use scare tactics when teaching i want them to hear real world stories of what can happen to you if you put all your info out there for anyone to see being a little scared is good 6 reevaluate as i go along and per each child the new age will keep changing ugh i remember when my oldest was 11 and we didn t have a filter on our computer yet i was completely caught by surprise when he saw a horrible image pop up on our computer through a game site i was totally naive in thinking that was possible everyone should have a filter i hated the fact that i let that come into my home however it was a caveat for an amazing discussion i had with my son on pornography use everything as a teaching tool we both learned a lot that day and i met k 9 for the first time everyone has their own rules no matter what your rules are make sure your child understands why we need to have rules and the dangers that come with disobeying the rules please keep the dialogue open keep it open in all things when my boys first started kissing i made sure we talked about where their hands should be and that they had absolutely no right to ever put them in the strike zone safety zone not strike zone my husband even blushes when i talk to my kids but they can tell me anything don t be afraid being open may save them from the world what are your rules feel free to share and i am perfectly aware that some of you may disagree with my point posted by shari goodman at 12 53 pm 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday september 25 2013 a guest post go check me out on the grain crazy blog today i did a little guest post posted by shari goodman at 7 35 am 0 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday september 12 2013 if i were 90 i get the privilege of spending lots of time with my 92 year old grandparents i love them i love to hear their stories sometimes we forget that they were young and vivacious and did something other than watch fox news now what intrigues me is what 80 year olds talk about i used to work at an insurance office across the street from leisure world retirement home i had many elderly folks walk in the door for business i can truly say that i enjoyed the conversations i would play a little game as they began to talk i would visually try to smooth their wrinkles back and see what they may have looked like when they were younger i then would listen to their life stories and get to know what memories lasted for them it was intriguing as i sit weekly with my grandparents and hear their stories i have realized that when you are 90 there is a common thread of what memories are the most important and what really mattered in your life i cannot tell you how many times i have heard the story of how my grandpa caught this fish in hawaii i know the very details and the emotions involved his face lights up as he recounts the events of the day the hunting trip to alaska another story that i can recount like i was there i know that the meat was delicious i know that you had to field dress it and get it off the land quickly there were rules to follow the country was amazing the air was crisp and full of life i love the way his eyes beam just like they are in this picture after he retells the story each time like it is the first time rarely does he talk about his career i hear about certain people he worked with but not about the millions he made and lost his cars and other material posessions no i hear about adventures and life being lived he loved his hikes to the top of the highest peak in utah on several occasions where he signed his name in a ledger in an old mail box at the top someday i want to climb it and see if his name is still there he had gentleman duck hunts in the south where they wore suits and had waiters bring them gourmet meals in the field he played in a big band at the rainbow rendezvous in salt lake with some famous musicians when he was in high school he was and is a fantastic sax player i love these stories my grandmother has the same good stories of playing in the creek in pine az and life in the mountains it is still her happy place this makes me think if i were 90 what stories will i be repeating to my grandchildren what will i have to tell what will be important to me i can tell you it will not be about posessions it will be about family and experiences i tell my children all the time life is made up of experiences don t let them pass you by get out and see life don t spend your life on auto pilot letting it live you it will be over before you know it you never know when illness strikes and you have missed the opportunity for adventures make them happen now the outside magazine for this month is inspirational get a copy i have devoured it i read several passages to my children and husband tonight at dinner and now my hubby is deeply immersed in it s pages the basis is get outside at all ages and live as tate and i spent a couple hours on a bike ride yesterday we went to 4 different neighborhood parks the neighborhood is packed with little kids and the saddest part was that in 2 hours there was not one child outside playing not even in their yards i didn t even hear kids it was 3 30 5 30 where are the kids the weather was perfect are they all in classes playing video games inside what it made me sad to think that they were missing such a beautiful day we saw a turtle sun bathing by the lake and chased several ducks into the pond we went down slides and crunched leaves i had several important sticks in my purse when i came home we rode our bike to the store and bought dried ice to play with at home there are lots of cool things to do with dry ice and and soap hours of fun it was a nice day some days are rushed somedays we can ride bikes we should ride bikes more often and spend less time with scheduled classes today tate made mud pies in the garden mud pies are always fun we found this very cool guy on the pepper plants biggest caterpillar i have ever seen super cool find for tate just think we would have missed it if we were inside playing computer games we all need to get out and live life life should be less scheduled less confined less boring we work too hard to buy things we don t need kids are much happier and adults playing in the dirt and water make memories now so you will have a great story to tell your grandchildren i would hate to have to listen to boring stories over and over again from my
