Comments of the Week: 6/22 – 28

Here at Heart of the Matter, we love our readers and we love your comments! One of the greatest things about Wordpress is the amazing plugins we can install on the website here. Like the comment thread, which enables all of us to have conversations with each other right in the comments. You can leave your own, or reply directly to someone else. AND (if you so choose) your pretty little face and latest blog entry appears right there in your comment!!

If you are reading Heart of the Matter through RSS or email, we would be so happy if you stopped by every once in a while to say hi and give your input.

Now, read on for a handful of insightful comments from last week! And keep ‘em coming…YOU could be in the spotlight next week!!

“Organized Relaxation?”

Lori, from All You Have to Give, says

Great neurotic minds think alike!! LOVED it and having just returned from a long trip overseas…there IS no other way!! WONDERFUL posting!! I’m a list gal and it just never stops!

“Creative Homeschooling – Week One”

Jo Bekis says

I absolutely love this homeschooling page, its so fantastic, every child loves to be creative, and parents want to do something equally creative with their kids – well its what keeps them happy. I love the animated reading article, kids do love stories, as a published author myself I’ve combined activities for parent and child within my book. Its based around fun educational story telling with an activity.

“11 Tips for Successful Family Trips”

Vicki, from the blog Victorious 1’s, says

Great tips! We like to take a cooler with fresh food along and our tip to save on buying cold ice, is to use complimentary ice while at the hotels to either re-fill or chill down your ice-packs. Saves a ton of money if you don’t have to buy ice each day.

“The Dress”

Jimmie, from the blog Jimmie’s Collage, says

What a powerfully written testimony to the power of a mother’s heart — both your own mom’s and yours! Thanks for sharing this touching anecdote. I have one child — a girl — and I am so blessed.

Beth, from the blog Pages of Our Life, says

What a special gift from your mother. I have tears in my heart after reading this. Somehow, I think you will never want to give that dress away, even after it has been used as it was intended. This was a beautiful story and I’m so glad you could share it with us.

“Creative Homeschooling: Math”

Laura Duksta, NY Times Bestselling author, says

Great Game!!! Sounds like you might enjoy my book-I Love You More–do you have it yet? One of my favorite games to play with my nieces and nephews is the “I AM” Adjective game…I Am Awesome! I Am Brilliant! I Am Courageous! You go through the alphabet using empowering adjectives…it’s amazing the magical space it creates!

“Repartee: Paying it Forward”

Chris Worthy, from ChrisWorthy.com, says

Nikowa, This is such a great reminder for me. I tend to do things like make a meal or bake a treat for someone, but my children are not involved enough in that. I need to plan around what they feel inspired to do to pay it forward. Going to ask them right now.

Sherry says

I love doing things like this.  Just in the past week, I put some extra money in the parking meter for the person next to me whose time was about to expire. Last month I brought a couple of chickens I got on sale at the store to a homeschooling friend whose husband was presently out of work. We’ve also given a gas card secretly to church members whose husband was without a job. Last year we paid for someone behind us in line at the fast food restaurant. The kids love helping out and I try to explain to them that we don’t have to let someone know when we do something.
