HARD QUESTIONS
This afternoon, on our way home from the math tutor, my daughter C asked me this question: "Who would you have married if you didn't marry daddy?"
At this point in my parenting career I've learned a few lessons, one of which is that after your kids gets to be about six, it's impossible to pull the wool over their eyes. Maybe it's the tone of your voice or your averted gaze when you're telling that "little white lie"--I'm not sure--but somehow they always know when you're not being straight with them.

Is the recession changing attitudes about staying home with kids?
With the economy crumbling around us, we've been contacted by number of authors, writers and bloggers asking all sorts of questions. Is Opting-out dead? Do SAHM's wish they stayed at work? Do struggling OnRampers wish they never OffRamped? Do SAHM's wish they had kept their skills updated, and one foot in the door? Was Leslie Bennetts right...is opting out the Feminine Mistake?
Everyone has a different view on the subject, but we really want to hear yours. Share your views here.

E Note-Calming Advice for Bride-to-Be
I recently received this note from a bride-to-be:
"I am getting married in 5 weeks, and it's just busy and I have a lot on my "plate"--some stuff I can't control and some I can control. I get stressed easily and uptight. I don't want every change, road block, or honestly my stubbornness to get in the way of the joy and abundant life God has for me and my future husband.

Denver Home Loans
Anyone watching last week's the telecast of the Democrats convention on television must have got the impression that the world's biggest economy is also the worst performing, at this moment at least. Speaker after speaker eloquently and movingly described the plight of ordinary American citizens struggling to make ends meet, pounded as they are from all sides by the housing slump, job losses, expensive fuel and so on. Payday lending has been a subject of controversy over the past few years, and accusations are legion of predatory lending. However much the term may be leveled at payday lending, the same people seem to never say the same about credit cards, but that is another matter. Getting a payday loan isn't like pulling teeth – it's easier than booking a tropical vacation. Many lenders have gone online, and you can apply with no fax needed, no credit check whether you have good credit or not, and a lot of lenders use direct deposit to get you your funds. So if you need some short term loans, don't be afraid of payday lending.
