Tad — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 18:00:53 +0000

I’m a Scientologist and a parent. What does that mean? The answer sums up a lot of why I started this site in the first place. And although I’ve written over 200 articles on this site so far on the subject, I’ve never actually just summarized what it means to me to be a Scientology [...]

This is a charming story from Siobhan, a Scientology parent from England, showing that Scientology Assist technology can be learned and used well by anyone: I have been a Scientologist all my life so also grew up around Scientology assists etc., as ways to handle upsets and injuries. I have always given my kids assists, [...]

Tad — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 22:49:42 +0000

I thought this a real nice touch when looking at photos of the new Church of Scientology of Inglewood, California – they’ve added a nice-looking nursery to the space, so that you can have someplace for your munchkins to go while you’re meeting folks at the Church. Also, the Church has it’s own tutoring center: [...]

Tad — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 20:21:39 +0000

Actual conversation with a 7-year-old, had while we both sat on a BEACH in HAWAII: 7-year-old: “I am SO BORED.” Me: “Um, we’re on one of the most amazing beaches in Hawaii.” 7-year-old: “I know.

Mommy Kissing It and Making It Better

Tad — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 20:56:25 +0000

Thought you all might like this little insight on that practice we’re all familiar with of “kissing it & making it better” (thanks to David Calkins of Mace-Kingsley for sharing): "Well, now, actually, it’s not even funny, because a little child will bark his knuckles or stub his toe or something and it’s almost — [...]

As you may know, western Oregon is currently having near record-levels of flooding across much of the Willamette Valley – endangering both people as well as livestock in the area.

Children – And the Goal of Growing Up

Tad — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 16:51:35 +0000

Baby 365 Project 2.0

Tad — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 13:00:36 +0000

Baby 365 Project 2.0, a set on Flickr. Seeing as both of my kids were born in the Internet Era, I figured it would be fun to keep track of both of their first years with a daily photo log in Flickr. It’s actually been easier than keeping a daily journal like my mom did [...]

Tad — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 13:00:31 +0000

Now that I’m accumulating a wealth of cute photos of my two kids, I figured I’d do a little page from 0-2 yrs old, comparing them by months. My son is pushing 11 months old, and my daughter is now a mighty Two-and-change! Click through for larger versions of the photos. Age Mackenzie Denali Newborn [...]

Don’t Bypass Your Child (Part 2)

Tad — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 22:59:41 +0000

This is the second of two (perhaps more) posts on the subject of bypassing your children – and in this context, bypassing means to ignore their efforts to help or do work that is theirs, and instead doing it yourself. I realized after writing my last post on the topic that there is so much [...]
