I’m participating in the Say it Face to Face web conversation. In essence, someone asks a question and we respond to those questions via video.

The below video is my response to the question: “Do you allow the kids to cook?”

What about you? Do you allow your children to help you in the kitchen?

The below video is my response to the question: “Do you have any potty-training tips?”

*shrug* I don’t know, I thought it was a good idea at the time. 😀

I recorded this mainly just to document some of the things I did with my boys.

Maybe it will help you. Or maybe it will reinforce your opinion that I am indeed a big dunce. 😉 Either way, I’m putting myself out there.

The below video is my response to the question: “How do you maintain your childrens’ friendships through different school phases?”

Do you remember losing touch with good friends throughout your school years? I remember having one best friend in middle school and then totally losing track of her in high school. Mainly because she started hanging out with, er, the “tough” kids and I didn’t want any part of it.

I had a few best friends throughout high school, mainly through the drama department, but the one friend I was the closest to I pushed away. And that was entirely my fault – I was jealous of her and the attention she got from the boys.

I regret that now.

I’ve seen friendships come and go with my boys. For the most part, we’ve been pretty comfortable with the boys’ friends, though there are a few that I cringe every time it’s suggested they get together, simply because I either A. don’t trust them, or B. I’m not exactly sure they are a positive influence on my boys. But I’ve never gotten to the point where I’ve vetoed the friendships simply because they seem to be fizzling out on their own.

Tell me, how successful have you been in maintaining your school friendships? How successful have your children been?

The below video is my response to the questions: “Do you volunteer? If so, what sorts of volunteer activities do you participate in?”

I’d like to apologize for this video. I couldn’t BE any more of a dweeb. Geez louise.

Anyway, I meant to add that volunteering your time and talents is a great way to give back to the community at large, not just in the schools. Not only does it bless those you’re helping, but it truly blesses you, too.

And you never know, it could also lead to a paying job down the line.

If you would like to volunteer, but you don’t know where to start or what you could offer, I ran across a website the other day that might help. It’s called iParticipate and you can put in something you’re good at, like website design, for instance, and the database will pull up volunteer opportunities that pertain to the search item you submitted for your immediate area.

Cool, right?

So tell me readers, what sorts of volunteer activities are you involved with?
