Wett Giggles Soap: A Great Stocking Stuffer

Wett Giggles soap is the perfect stocking stuffer this year because it's not a cheap toy and it's not more candy! Instead Wett Giggles is all-natural, handmade glycerin soap for kids that also helps them learn the importance of cleanliness and hygiene.



Wett Giggles is one of our favorite gifts for kids of the year.

Kids Photos in Posts

At varied points throughout the year there have been dustups among mom bloggers about whether we should share pictures of our children in our blog posts. I sincerely believe there are different strokes for different folks. While some moms may cringe at posting photos of their children, others are perfectly content with it. I have posted only a few photos of my children throughout the years. The very last time I posted a photo of one of my children was last year. Why did I stop?

I noticed one day that someone had linked to my oldest daughter's photo and people were streaming in in droves to look at her. I don't know what for, all I could see was my stat counter all pointing to that one photograph and countless people clicking to see it. It scared me silly and caused me to cease putting my children on the Net. But that's just my experience.

What do you think about posting your children's photographs on the Net?

-------------------

Funny how when you're not with your kids, you become completely attune to the way other parents interact with their own children. And then you start to wonder...do I do that too? While we spent a few days away from our daughter and son, we've managed to eat in restaurants with screaming kids, we had pancakes next to a quartet of the rudest girls I've ever seen, and we noticed one woman in a book store who seemed to have a permanent frown on her face as she hissed at her daughter for being nasty to her.

It's a Beautiful Day, It's Just Raining

This morning was dark and gray and rainy for the first day in weeks. Normally it rains so much here that I can't stand the gray, but this summer has been gorgeous--sunny and lush and full of wildflowers. So this morning I almost welcomed the dark clouds. It felt cozy to wake up to a denser sky, with a jumble of sleeping bodies all over our bedrooms. Dawson was asleep in the narrow trough between his and Liam's bed, where he's tumbled so often in the middle of the night that we've lined it with cushions and blankets, and he nestles into it as if it were his own private burrow. Liam was entangled in blankets out at the foot of our bed, and Tommy was hanging on to the small sliver of space Liam and I had left him.

Dawson got up first and came in and grabbed my cheeks. "Mommy!" he whispered loudly. "Get up!"

"Oh, look at how gray it is outside," I said.

"It's a very beautiful day," Dawson said rather sternly. "It's just raining."

What is Your Comment Policy?

Today's post is a part of the coComment Parenting Challenge. Leave a comment and you may win a prize. Learn more.

So many of us who are mom bloggers have had to make a comment policy for our blogs at one point or another, one that hinges on either maintaining free speech or creating a negative-free zone on our blogs. Many bloggers (and I am guilty of this as well) can be rather opinionated about matters of great importance whether it is a parenting style or breaking news, and when we veer into the realm of controversy and debate all types of comments are left as a result.

In all my years of blogging (I've been blogging since 2004) I have never erased a comment save those that are clearly spam. Comments that disagree with anything I have written always remain on my blog because I do not believe in silencing those with dissenting opinions, even if I'm called every name in the book. I believe in open debate on blogs even if it gets ugly.

What is your comment policy? Do you delete or not approve comments that clearly disagree with you, or are all comments fair game?
