Thank you! Two things I would add:

In Wordpress, to create a header, you would use the dropdown and select H2, H3, etc. (Don't use H1; that's like the site title.) If that's not showing, you don't have the advanced toolbar options set to show; there's a button on the toolbar to toggle that on and off.

Also, the alt tag's original purpose is to make sites accessible to those who can't see the images. That would be people who have technical reasons the images won't show, as well as those who have physical limitations (like blindness) that require that their browsers read these alt tags to them. So please make your alt tags descriptive of the actual image! (You can do both; I usually have some text I use for every image in the same same post, and then I add a brief description that narrows it down to THAT specific picture.)

I'm very interested in trying this mascara! I've tried a variety, but I have yet to find a REALLY natural mascara that actually does anything. (I have dark eyelashes; I might feel differently if they were blonde. ;) ) I've been using Physicians Formula OrganicWear, which is not awful, but it's the least-natural anything I'm still putting in or on my body.

Beautiful! (I love the texture of sisal, myself. :) )
My recent post DIY Laundry Detergent

I would think, though, that if you don't have some financial resources to begin with, you might have to be more particular about having an established, reasonably well-paying job before marriage.

I think the overall point being that every situation is different and should be weighed accordingly.

"“Contrary to what some people believe, Mind Mapping is not ‘unstructured thinking’. In fact, it’s one of the most structured forms of thinking possible… "

I think it's kind of crazy that people believe Mind Mapping to be unstructured. A well-made Mind Map is exactly like an outline - it's just radial (and colorful) rather than linear.

A beautiful use of a boundary would be when giving a presentation about a mind map, or based on its contents. A boundary applied to whatever is the CURRENT section being discussed would put everything else into the background, so to speak.

I was so disappointed to see that the newer edition of the Uncle Remus stories has watered down or removed the old Southern style of speech. :( According to the foreword, I get the impression this is somehow supposed to make it "less offensive," but in my opinion it makes it MORE offensive because it eliminates the one GOOD thing about that period of our history - a CULTURE. We bought the unabridged version and then were so sad to find out it wasn't the same. :(

I cannot keep up with my kids, either! Honestly, I think that if we have voracious readers, we have to at some point trust that they've internalized our standards, and perhaps "spot-read" to check up on them. But there is simply no way I would be able to read every word of every book ahead of all of my children. (It gets especially tricky for those of us who have GOOD readers - which is probably most of us who encourage quality reading material - because their reading ability so far outstrips their psychological? development level as far as most available reading materials are concerned. I know I remember being bored as a child with anything that had appropriate content, because it was SO EASY to read.)

We like the Terrestria Chronicles for that 10-year-old age range.

Are you able to tell me if the movies are pretty true to the books? We have not read the books, but did watch the first several movies. (They were coming on television, so it was an easy way to get firsthand experience with the stories and not just be basing our decision on someone else's decision.)

We found in the movies that there was a very subtle progression of real-life witchcraft. (Fantasy "magic" and the sort of witchcraft that is also performed in real life are two completely different categories in our thinking.) I don't remember the exact details because it's been a while, but for instance, in the first movie I don't remember seeing anything that was, strictly speaking, "witchcraft." However, symbols typically associated with the occult were used for context. (As one example, all of the animals that are permitted at Hogworts as companion animals are traditionally associated with the occult.) BUT, in the second story, there were some things. I don't remember what. In the third story, I think there was the calling up of the dead - something expressly forbidden in scripture as sorcery.

Our own rule of thumb is that you can't never read/watch anything that HAS anything evil in it. There is no PLOT without evil of some kind. But is the evil viewed as evil, or is IT what you're meant to appreciate? To put it another way, are the good guys the good guys or are the bad guys the "good guys"? We found that - at least in the movies - the protagonists were freely doing things the Bible condemns, so we would not permit them for our children unless/until they're old enough to override our judgment.

A hierarchy of books - what a wonderful way to put it!

We do things much this way, too. The kids can choose their books at the library, but I have to approve them before they come home with us. (I'm more likely to let the toddler get 'most anything she wants because she doesn't really want to READ it, anyway. She just wants to be able to carry home what she chose. So unless it happens to be truly awful, we just roll with it.)

I was surprised to find, through a challenge in our library's reading program last summer, that the "graphic novels" aren't all twaddle. I always just thought "comic book," and "comic book" (in my mind) = junk. But come to find out there are graphic novels of classics. I wouldn't want them to be "it" in my children's heads, but I'm thinking I'd find it much easier to read Beowulf having gotten a "just the bones" idea of the plot first. :)
