I might be small in stature, but I have no shortage of opinions. There’s always one cause or another that’s got me fired up.
I believe…
cooking with kids is the stuff memories are made of.
beds are meant to be made.
electronics have no place at the dinner table, at home or in a restaurant.
at least one meal a day needs to be at the table with family.
home cooked meals can indeed be healthy, fast, and affordable.
there is no such thing as “kid friendly” food; food is food.
peanut butter and jelly and macaroni and cheese aren’t just for kids.
manners are important.
Tabasco is the best hot sauce ever.
kids don’t need soda…neither do adults for that matter.
butter makes everything better; the phony stuff is downright creepy.
pets make a family complete.
pie trumps cake.
voting is more than a privilege, it’s a civic duty.
almost nothing is as tasty as bacon.
processed foods are quite literally killing us.
you can dress to impress without buying dry clean only clothes.
outfitting yourself and your home on a budget is more impressive than spending lots of cash on designer duds and doohickies.
smoking is public enemy number one.
we are here on the earth to help each other, not just ourselves.
How about you…what do you believe?

Great list. I loved this one, “at least one meal a day needs to be at the table with family.” I totally agree.

Great list! My only opposition is my love for homemade chocolate cake 😉

Great post! I am a believer in all of those things – plus reading to kids.

Pie!!
I’m with you. Though I did allow the girl to play PvZ on the iPhone one night at dinner at a restaurant, where she was the only child, and the other four adults were all a lot older than me, and mostly strangers to her. It seemed more civilized to keep her calm and quiet than the alternative. At home, or with a different crowd, NEVER.

You are awesome.
Sheets were meant to hang on the line and soak up the smell of sunshine.
Reading is a family affair.
Honesty is essential, though not always easy.

Fabulous post. Agree with every word (except the pie vs. cake)
I believe..
we were friends in another life..
