This week we revert to Words of Affirmation, which was supposed to be last week. D’oh! The authors of the book, The 5 Love Languages of Children, outlined 4 different categories that words of affirmation can be grouped into: words of endearment/affection, words of praise, words of encouragement, and words of guidance. Words of endearment… Continue reading Love in 5 Languages, Part 4

Fun with similes!
Ah, similes. No, not those silly little emoticons you put in emails. Those are smileys. I’m talking about similes. Those darned vocabularological comparisons you had to study in high school for no other reason than to pass the SAT, get into a good school, and prepare you for a profession in which the only simile… Continue reading Fun with similes!
Be careful what you pray for
because you just might get it! Last night was Join Scouting Night in McKinney. If you read this blog, then you know the technical difficulties I ran into trying to finalize the details yesterday afternoon. To be honest, that frustration was the LAST thing I needed yesterday.
