A "MOM" BLOG FOR ALL OF US

You may wonder about the title of my blog. Let me explain. One day long ago when I was getting my son ready for his bath, he asked if I could "Make it warmer." I was surprised by this request as the water seemed plenty warm to me, if not hot. Immediately I received a treasured glimpse into the amazing mind of a child: what he really wanted was for the water to be cooled. After all, he explained in his kid-like way: warm is COOLER than hot. "Make it warmer." I thought that was brilliant. I still do.

It's Not Always About the Money

I made a personal vow to stop at every lemonade stand that I can, for I well remember the days of sitting in front of my house in the hot summer sun just waiting for customers! At one particular stand, I paid my 25 cents (inflation!) and the girl handed me back 15 cents. I told her I gave her the right amount of money, and I shouldn't get anything back. She pointed at the sign. Sure enough, it was right there: "LEMONADE 25 Cents Plus Change". I tried to help her and her friend by explaining they wouldn't make much money that way, but I got the feeling that for them, giving change was just as much fun as making money. Bless the kids!

    We have that same rule at our house! We never pass a lemonade or a koolaid stand without stopping. :)
