There is a saying that I can confidently say we all agree with that states "it takes a village to raise a child".

I subscribe to this mentality and behavior.

I live in a small town (I'm really not kidding), and KNOW for a fact if my child was doing something wrong when I wasn't there, another adult would intervene.

I find all kids fascinating - and love to talk to them and help other parents. We have kids in our carpool every day and I always talk to them about their day and buy them food sometimes. And the kids on our street are always welcome here. I feed them, too! And the kids at school come to our house and have fun.

All of us impact kids of all ages - that is what makes the world go 'round!

I know when I was little..everyone kinda inviened when needed ( i spelled that wrong..lol but you know what i mean) and..I'd say I turned out pretty good ;) lol However, I wouldnt like any friend of mine just interfering and telling my kids what to do..if they were babysitting..it would be different, but..no i wouldnt want others telling my kids what to do. I dont even let anyone besides family babysit! LOL


if you notice my siggy changes often..its because I have a rotator! youre not going crazy ;) lol
