This wondrous box was made from a shoebox and it contained simple, … Continue reading →

This post was written by Stacey from Moe Moments. It’s a story that has tugged on many heartstrings and inspired people of all ages…and it’s because of my son! I couldn’t be more proud. My six year-old boy, Oliver saw two young kids rummaging through recycling blue bins which led to a conversation with me about some people not having enough money for food. Within minutes, Oliver had decided that we should sell the produce from our small, urban back yard organic veggie oasis. Why? Because he wanted to sell the vegetables from a table in the front yard and … Continue reading →

Chicken Soup for the Soul: Inspiration for the Young at Heart (REVIEW)

“Go 60” is what I will remember from the book Chicken Soup for the Soul: Inspiration for the Young at Heart: 101 Stories of Inspiration, Humor, and Wisdom about Life at a Certain Age. The book opens up with a story from a woman who is turning 60 and has challenged herself to do 60 new things the year she turned 60. This short story alone filled me with inspiration! I believe that this book would make a perfect gift for someone’s birthday (perhaps a 60th birthday). I’ve always been a big fan of the Chicken Soup for the Soul … Continue reading →

This post is part of #FDF (Finally Diaper Free), an event all about Potty Training co-hosted by The Knit Wit. Some people don’t believe in rewards during Potty Training. I will admit that I was originally one of those people. My daughter learned how to use the potty practically on her own. It seemed like I blinked and she was out of diapers and staying dry all day and night. My son has been a much different story! We have given him his choice of mini candies for going #1 on the potty, we have given him stickers for a … Continue reading →
