Jack and Jill of America member and her daughter Recently, I have become keenly aware that good kids are created by accident. They become good because someone made a concerted effort to pour positive things into them--things like, honor, discipline and respect for others. These qualities are taught through lessons and by observation. For that reason, I have been actively considering how to give my children more examples of people who embody those qualities.  Indeed, raising my children to become good people is my most important job.

Wednesday Wisdom: Celebrate, even if you have to coordinate it yourself!

on
 Memorial Day fashion

On Memorial Day, I decided to have a cookout that I would organize myself. Usually, when we host cookouts, I make the sides, season the meat and Andre grills it. However, this year, he had to work. So, I decided to proceed on my own. 

 The food was good.
Indeed, I managed to make veggie burgers, homemade guacamole, homemade chip dip, two kinds of chicken, hot dogs, pasta salad, grilled asparagus, fried corn and broccoli salad. Doesn't that chicken below make you salivate?! 


However, I am most pleased that I managed to cook it all and not get anything on my white jeans. Pure talent (and lots of luck)!
