Small Talk Six: Some Changes

For the past year or more, Karen has been running MomDots MEME Small Talk Six. It was actually Karen that created the concept, developed it, ran it, it was her project and I was proud to host it here.

Unfortunately she has a lot of projects on her plate currently and asked if someone else could take over. She feels super bad about it. While I am not normally a weekend poster, I am going to do my best to ensure those that want to MEME with us, will still have a place here to do so.

If you do NOT want to post on your site, please feel free to participate in the comments. Consider this the Small Talk Six Meme and Poll. Now on with the show.

And thank you Karen. You are amazing.

Today’s topic is “6 children’s books you love to read out loud.” You can answer this with a list of 6 words, 6 phrases, 6 sentences, 6 paragraphs, 6 photos, 6 videos, etc . . .

Here are the staple books in our house that Charlotte loves. She is 5.5 and I would recommend these books to any child around this age group.

Six for this week:

1. The Cat in the Hat

2. Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?

3. The Monster at the End of this Book (Sesame Street) (Big Little Golden Book)

4. The True Story of the Three Little Pigs

5. Corduroy (40th Anniversary Edition)

6. Sam’s Sandwich

You can hit them and they will go to amazon (and I used my affiliate..cause why not, right?) if you want to see them or read more. As a sidenote, I have been reading The Monster at the End of this Book since I was a child.

Some books are just timeless.

Small Talk Six: What? Spoiled? My Children?!!

25 Jun By KarenC 6 Comments

Want to join in? Go here to learn how and to view the weekly Small Talk Six topics for 2010.

Today’s topic is “6 ways you indulge or spoil your children.” You can answer this with a list of 6 words, 6 phrases, 6 sentences, 6 paragraphs, 6 photos, 6 videos, etc . . .

Well, this is a really broad topic, isn’t it? Let me see if I can narrow it down to just six.

Here are my six for this week:

1) We reward them for finishing their lunch and dinner with a snack that sometimes is not so healthy.

2) 75% of the time, when we visit a retailer that sells toys, we will leave with something small (a $2 or $3 toy) for each child.

3) I review a ton of cool toys, so they get new toys too often . . . faster than I can donate the ones they no longer use.

4) Sometimes our children do not go to sleep right away and we can hear them carrying on. We sometimes just let them continue in the hopes that they’ll tire themselves out.

5) Sometimes we cook or order separate dinners for them because they are such picky eaters, rather than forcing them to eat what is available and learning to be grateful that they have food to eat.

6) We allow them to watch too much television on some days because it is the only way we can have a few moments of peace and quiet.

3) Staying up late

4) An excellent meal

5) Dogs and puppies

6) Seeing his grandchildren smile

Today’s topic is “6 sure signs that you are stressed out.” You can answer this with a list of 6 words, 6 phrases, 6 sentences, 6 paragraphs, 6 photos, 6 videos, etc . . .

Hmmm . . . should I go the serious route or the humorous route on this one. That is indeed the question.

Here are my six for this week:

1) Your sweet little angels start to sprout horns and tails.

2) You suddenly have the overwhelming urge to drop the mound of dirty dishes sitting in the sink onto your husband’s head while he is napping on the sofa.

3) Someone is tightening the vice around the top of your head without your permission.

4) Your hair starts to shed more than the family pet’s.

5) You are starting to wonder if someone replaced your bottled water with hydrochloric acid because your stomach sure is burning.

6) Your husband starts looking at the calendar, wondering if PMS is suppose to last two weeks.
