How do you talk to your kids about molestation? -- I had a long talk with Alex this morning, because of this video.
Are you a bargain shopper? -- I'm not. But I hate shopping, so it's rare that I shop anyway.
Are you okay with pulling your kids out of school? -- For us, it's a case-by-case kinda thing.

how festive!
I love your family portrait tradition! Every year I wait for the ornament shot! Lovely.
You know what, Karen? Every time I see a picture of you and your family, I get the distinct impression that we'd like each other very, very much.
Love the family photo ! What a fabulous idea.
I love it! The tree picture with the solar flare is totally inspired. Hoping to decorate my tree today and we like to make sure every branch has something on it!
these are brilliant.
I really need to learn how to use my camera properly.
we are decorating our tree tonight and I am excited.
Thanks for giving me some visual holiday cheer. I wanna see that painting behind the tree. (Too.)
That is so not what I would have expected your tree to be like, but I love the festive exuberance.
Brings to mind a carnival song from last year: Trees by Tallpree
I LOOOVE it! Got some serious glow going on with that tree. I'm not a fan of a sparce tree, myself. Lovely job, Ms. K> :)
