You dont need to be very old to be able to think back in time when the computer was not even a consideration in our every day lives. The trusty abacus had just started to come under threat from one of the very first computing devises, the pocket calculator……..my how things have changed!

Nowadays it is not uncommon for many families and households have more computing power in their lounges and living rooms than we had not so long ago to send men to the moon……a very sombering thought indeed.

The dating effect of single parents on children is a real parenting issue which can often be overlooked by those who are on the search for companionship.

Many parents underestimate their children’s emotional needs during this intriguing time. Children often hide their feelings and won’t express them until pushed into a corner either through frustration or unconscious neglect. The latter is hard to estimate especially when mom or dad are consumed with a new love interest.

So what are some of the dating effects of single parents on their children? Obviously if one parent disappears from a child’s life after being in a less than desirable relationship such as an abusive one, then the child may welcome a new parental figure.

There are many traditions that I have in my family and with friendships. My husband and I have enjoyed carrying on some of the traditions that we practiced in the families that we grew up in and we have also established new traditions that we have done within our family. As with most traditions and celebrations many of our rituals involve food.

We are both of German heritage and we both enjoy cooking as well as eating. From the time our children were little we have included them in preparing meals on a day to day basis and we have made special occasions out of preparing foods for our traditional celebrations. One of my fondest memories of helping my mom in the kitchen was making my grandmother’s butter cookies recipe. It was fun making the different shapes out of the rolled out dough and then decorating the cookies once they were baked. Mom would have a variety of sprinkles and different colored frostings for us to use on the sugar cookies.

If you are into scrapbooks, stamping, or other types of papercrafting, you most likely have quite alot of one thing: paper. Since I have so much paper, I used to have a terrible time trying to organize it all. I used to just store it in a drawer and would have to hunt around through the stack whenever I was looking for paper. Eventually I started using a couple of far more efficient methods for storage that looks beautiful and lets me pick out the perfect paper in a matter of seconds. Allow me to share with you my experience.

Most of my paper comes in 12×12 blocks perfect for large style scrapbooks. I also have a fair bit of 8.5×11 paper that is your normal letter sized paper. The paper I buy for my scrapping tends to be the 12×12 and it does not fit properly into a standard file cabinet like my letter paper would. When I buy the paper, it’s usually in big paks, all shrink-wrapped up in a bundle. This saves alot of money and I get all sorts of wonderful paper from buying it this way. However, once the shrink-wrap is off, the paper is just loose and really requires a good storage solution.
