I like to give all my posts at least a night to sit, too, so I can proofread more effectively before I post (although I still miss errors). I've actually had completely different ones written up only to not publish them and then start over the next week. I am indeed a chocoholic, except when I'm pregnant...hmmm, I wonder if there's a connection. LOL. Advent blessings to you as well!!

I don't always have enough to put in the post so now I write it over a period of a few weeks, thanks to someone else's suggestion. I was drawn to your blog title since I am a chocoholic! I love advent, too and O Come, O Come Emmanuel is also a favorite! Advent blessings! I have only done 7 Quick takes a few times.

I also highly recommended the "Wonder" books by Michael Gurian. I was only able to get a hold of the one Grossman book, and it was excellent.

As a passionate proponent of natural family planning, I especially see the need to talk about #5-7 and I actually try to help others with #8 on my marriage blog. Of course, the best way to teach is to provide a strong example through the way we live our own lives!

We used it a lot when we first bought it, but less and less over the summer. I see us busting it out more and more in the coming months, especially now that we have the Beatles Rock Band. Of course, the Rock Band is available for other systems, too, and apparently some gaming systems will get opportunities for more Beatles songs before others will. You just have to decide how active you want your system to be. If you want the option of exercising more than your fingers with other games, than I would go Wii. The Wii is great.

It has me contemplating the Wii and I generally am toward newish video game systems like I am new cars-- I just wait for them to get older and not as popular and buy them then... but Wii may be different, and if so, Beatles Rock Band is about 75% of why.

We've also got a habit of usually needing to be out with the girls when they are playing (I have a three year old and live where there are mountain lions and I'm a chicken) so it takes a little more planning then just sending everyone outside.

And the respect she gets (t.i. you're not telling her "you're too young, you can't read" ofr some such nonsence). I hope I'm such a good mom when I get children.
