I have 3 teen boys and can say I frequently count the days until their threat to "move out and do what they want" happens. Some days I just wonder where the sweet boys I started with went to!!

We do S Dakota trip each year from Wisconsin. Bear Country & Reptile world can be done in one day. Custer State Park is wonderful. We stay in the cabins for a week. Take an afternoon for Sylvan Lake for swimming - really pretty and great for relaxing. Devils Tower is a long drive and the...

Got my DS9 Red Ryder last spring for his birthday. We too did gun safety and he has been taught to respect the gun. Ironically DS12 wants one but he doesn't have the same level of maturity or respect for a gun as my younger one has so none for him yet. Depends on the child and I think its...

Got the Kindle last year and love love love it. Not all books are 9.99, many are cheaper and they often offer freebies. Love the Wispernet download, pick a book and 30 seconds later there it is. Great for travel, but I use it a ton at home.

I love my OL. It makes traveling to Disney so much easier with 3 kids. One problem I had was remembering everything it holds & writing it down. So this time before I packed it all in the box I took a bunch of digital pics. That way I just look at the pictures. Plus I took a picture of a...

We love this area and have been coming back each year for the last 5 years. We go every August the week ending with Sturgis. The boys love to see all the different bikes and then they are mostly heading out. We stay in Custer Park, the country is beautiful. We have done almost all the...

I too love my OL. It has been fantastic with great service. This last time I laid my stuff on the couch and just took pictures of everything I packed in it. Saved me the time of writing everything down. So handy. I confess I am thinking of getting a second one on our next trip!!

I have 2 DS who are 11. The Big Book of Boy Stuff has been a big hit at our house. The Wimpy kid books are also a favorite. The Carole Marsh Mysteries are good too. They really are for a bit younger - quick reading, but I have one who will read but only if he can do it quickly and get to the...

My son is also lactose intolerant. Goodies and Winn Dixie (better price) near downtown Disney both carry lactose free milk. I have never found it on property at any of the different resorts. But when we did Animal Kingdom Conceige a few years ago, they ordered and had it on hand when we...

Another Montessori parent here. We love it. Mine are in 5th & 2nd grade now. They have been at Montessori since 3 years old. I love it. They participate and take direction in their own leaning experience, yet their teacher guides them. Mine did not read "early", they are average to a bit...

We have done the Black Hills, Badlands area every August for the last 5-6 years. We always spend 4-5 days at Custer Park State Game Lodge Cabins. There are a ton on animals (buffalo, sheep, deer, pronghorn, mules, prairie dogs) to see in this park. Horseback riding at Blue Bell Lodge is...

Depending where you are staying, last time AKL Conceige was able to order 2 cartons for us and we had it right when we checked in. I have also bought it at Goodings many times without a problem and I think even Winn Dixie up the road from Crossroads carries it. I know my son doesn't do the soy...

I have 3 in Montessori. They all started in preschool. the oldest is now in 5th grade at Montessori. It has been a positive experience. They are doing well and have definately developed a strong sense of learning. For us its a learning enviornment that is child driven (not that the kids can...

We have 3 refurb shuffles about 6 months old. All work great. Nice deal!

Another vote for Lands End. Their climbers are the best!

I have 2 children "requiring" meds. I have researched it, done all the testing, thought it through and made the best possible decision for my children. If you don't use meds fine for you and your family. Until you have actually lived in my house with my children and seen how hard it can be...

So sorry to hear your story. Someone once told me that going throught the stress of a breakup - was both the worst and the best thing that ever happened. It was so hard that when it was finally done they were so much stronger, wiser and more compassionate than before it happened. I know this...

Could I also have a coupon. I'd love to give it a try. thanks Dolson827@wi.rr.com Thanks a bunch

I have 3 DS's in Montessori - started in pre school (children's house is Montessori) now in 1st (lower elementary) and 4th grades (upper elem). Its a great learing enviornment. I have never had a problem with going to Disney for a week during school. Its a habit!! Anyway, the kids have...
