Setting an example
On the way home this evening, for the first time, I thought I’d ask my children, “What are some ways I set a good example for you today?”
I was sincerely curious to see what they had to say. This is what I heard:
“You set a good example when you let that man go ahead of us in the grocery store line.”
“You set a good example when you apologized to those people at the restaurant because we were being too loud.”
“You set a good example when you let us choose special food at the grocery store.”
I still love my iPhone. And one of the big reasons why is Instagram. You’ve heard me gush about this nifty little app (did you see my hourly photo challenge post?!) and nearly each day I’m inspired to take pictures and share them.
For today’s post I chose 15 of my fave pics from the past couple of months. Because I love them… and sharing is fun.
It’s been two years since our family experienced the split of divorce. In the beginning it was very difficult for the children to understand what was happening, express their feelings and manage the difficulties that come with transitioning between two homes. One of the many things I did to help them was to seek out age-appropriate books on divorce.
In this short video, I feature four of the books I’ve found particularly helpful for my children.

Last year I wrote a couple of posts about my favorite apps – here and here. I was having a blast with my Droid and getting a lot of use out of it. It was fun to share what apps I was enjoying and hear about yours, too. However, as much as I liked my Droid, I hated how it crashed all the time. I went through three or four different models in a short period of time before crying uncle and moving over to the iPhone. And I haven’t looked back, once. I heart my iPhone!
Droid v. iPhone - Yes, there are a few differences between the apps (and apps available) between the Droid and iPhone. My experience is that, for the most part, the apps are fairly similar although there are some that are exclusive to each. I’ve learned from my tech friends that the Droid market is open to developers and apps can be published easily and available early – whereas the Apple store has tighter restrictions on what apps they’ll allow and have a review process of sorts. What this means for the consumer? With the Droid you’ll get faster access to cutting edge technology and apps. With the iPhone you’ll get a more stable platform, higher quality (read: vetted) apps and a higher chance your phone can handle extreme multi-tasking – especially if you are an intensive superuser like me.
