How do you explain death to a child?
I've debated even asking this question, because I know how some people can be in these forums, but for the sake of wanting some honest answers, here goes.... I was washing dishes a few nights ago and my son, who is 3-1/2 and very bright for his age, came to me with tears in his eyes. I asked what was wrong and he started…

The Easyway Method... Is it really THAT easy?
So.....I've been a smoker for 13 years now. I started at the bright young age of 16 because my friends were doing it and I wanted to be "cool" like them. Now I'm the mother of an amazing little man who I never want to see his mommy as a "smoker". I have promised myself that I was going to be done with this nasty habit…

I love smoking.
I quit smoking today. But I really didn't want to. I like to smoke. I don't only smoke because I'm addicted to the nicotine, but because I simply enjoy it. Yeah, it stinks and makes you a social outcast, but honestly I don't care. I love smoking. To be honest, my motivation for quitting isn't to live longer and be…

Indentations...
I have an issue... I'm 5' 3" and 130lbs so I'm not "fat" but I've got a bit of softness. My problem is indentions from my underwear and pants on my hips and my lower stomach. My clothes are not too tight, if I wear them any looser they'll fall off but this still gives me the look of a "muffin top" especially on my stomach.…

I need easy, fast, kid-friendly dinner recipes....
I am a single mother of a very picky 2-year old boy. He won't eat beef or any kind of "hard-to-chew" meat so I'm trying to find some creative ways to incorporate turkey, ham, tuna, etc., into meals that he will actual enjoy and that I can stomach as well. I am not by any means a great cook. I manage to keep us fed and…

What to put in my coffee.....
I'm trying to find a good zero-calorie sweetener to use in my coffee instead of sugar. I tried to just cut out the coffee completely, but that's just not happening. So I tried stevia extract and that leaves a bad taste in my mouth and a filmy feeling. Anyone have any good suggestions to sweeten up my coffee without adding…

Gift for Daycare Provider
I absolutely LOVE my babysitter. I cannot imagine leaving my son in better hands while I'm working. So I want to treat her well at Christmas. However, she's one of those people who has EVERYTHING! When she wants something, she buys it. And her house is perfectly decorated (so no home decor gifts). My questions to any…
