Well I know that I don't get all that much time to post. I may get a chance to read a couple times a day but with 2 in school and one at home my schedule is a little hectic. With Halloween coming up and then the Holidays right after that I know I'll be scarce!

Maybe doing a Mom and child for the day questionaire would get some more posts. This would be picking maybe 2-3 ladies per day and you announce who it is in the morning and then let everyone come in with their questions - they can be run of the mill or off the wall and then the Mom has to answer the questions.

Just an idea to throw out there.

How about a discussion area like recipes, cleaning tips, money saving tips, crafts/creative ideas and bunch it all together in a household section. I would love to get new ideas on fun family activities or some creative things to do with our families, maybe like a "family time" section. I could use some motivation to get off the couch, lol. Does anyone use the Attachment parenting discussion? Maybe blend the infant/toddler/preschool/preteens all into one category under kids? (That is if we are limited to only so many sections) Just throwing around ideas!

Umm...I don't know but I know I am lost for inspiration on things to do with my 1.5 and 2.5 yos. I used to do so much with my oldest when he was this age, but the two of them overwhelm me (sounds stupid but for example it was so much easier helping my ds fingerpaint than it is trying to do it with the two of them. Ooh I just got inspired - I can let them do it in the bathtub then wash it off of them and the tub)

anyway, maybe a tip of the day, activity of the day, question of the day....

And of course, selfishly, if those could be geared towards toddler/preschool activities....LOL

I often post at the unmedicated birth board as well, they have recently started an Queen of the week, one member is appointed a week, and on Monday, they post a small bio, then ask all sorts of questions or games, either on topic, or off. It seemed to pick things up a bit, and let people to get to know wach other a bit more. Some of the questions have been really personal and quite funny!!!

Maybe have a daily check in called goals for today/ where we all post anything we would like to get done, then post back on the same thread if we accomplished what we wanted. Maybe this could help us hold ourselves accountable. Maybe a daily fitness challenge. ask everyone to post if they have drank their 8 glasses of water that day and post their fitness goals for the day. Have a daily cleaning challenge. Maybe pick one person and have them be the discussion coordinator for the day, ask them to post three discussions...can be anything, a joke funny websites, or a fun craft to do that day with your child.


Well thats all
