Are You Too Critical?
by Kathy Thompson
First of all, Criticalness breaks up more relationships, than anything else. And that criticalness is usually over the children or money!
Criticalness can be seen in eyes that slant down.
They notice anything that is out of line and can spot problems and the flaws. Yes, they are naggers, faultfinders. They cause fear in other people. They make people afraid of them.
Your son asks you a question. “What does agile mean?” And right away you tell him his shoe is untied, or his shirt is dirty, or his hair is not combed, and has dandruf. You notice things that are wrong.
Now you have a choice on how you responded to your son. That is the negative choice.
The positive use of being critical is that you see opportunities and advantages in situations. You know what needs to be done. Instead of critizing your son, spouse, or anyone; only use your criticalness when you are paid for it. Keep your criticalness to yourself, until needed. State the criticism as a statement or suggestion.
“Son, agile means flexible. Thanks for asking. And don’t forget to tie your shoe, comb hair.”
The critical spouse should resist trying to remake partner. Focus on the good in everything first even with children. The critical child must be made to understand the unsolicited criticism will turn people off.
What should you do when you are around someone who is critical?
1 - Get there advice when you need it. They will be glad to give it.
2 - Don’t be hurt by unsolicited criticism. That’s the way they are. It has nothing to do with whether they like you are not.
3 - Try to take care of things that involve them in order to avoid their criticism.
Now when you see someone with eyes that slant down, you know how they may respond to you, and you to them. Try it and see how you do.

Never Pay Full Price for a Book!
by Cyndi Roberts
Are you an avid reader? Are you trying to instill a love of reading in your children?
My whole family loves to read! Right before bedtime every night, every one of us can be found with our nose in a book!
It would be very easy for us to spend a fortune every month on books. But, since we don't have a fortune to spend every month, over the years I've found several ways to get good books and never pay full price!
1. Garage and yard sales are a prime source for both hardback and paperback books. There are people who will buy a book, read it once, and they're ready to get rid of it. I pick up lots of books at yard sales and never pay more than 50 cents each.
2. Used bookstores are another place to find good reading material. Store

A Healthy Summertime Snack For Your Kids
by Ronnie Daniels
Oh, for the lazy days of Summer.... As If!
Nowadays we all rush around trying to balance two jobs, the kids and running the house. Many of us are taking classes on top of that.
The end result is we often just grab whatever is handy to snack on. Chips or sweet snacks like cookies or snack cakes. Not very healthy,eh? Try this instead. Take a few minutes and buy a package of tropical fruit mix at the market along with some wooden skewers. Also buy a package of popcorn chicken bites ( Tyson makes some really good ones).
You have all you need to make a platter of mini kebobs that your children will love.
Just make some up in the morning and place on a platter in the fridge.
They'll grab 'em and go.

The Fundamentals of a Great Marriage
by Annas Agency®
There are two types of marriages. A marriage in which a couple is married and cares about each other and another in which the couple loves each other and supports the development of each emotionally and spiritually.
I met my wife in Russia. Our romance was something of a whirlwind romance. There are times when you just know something is right. You do not know why you do it - you just know you must. When we first started talking about building a family, my wife was very careful about saying a family was the most important thing for her. She was quick to point out that she wanted to build a family as quickly as possible. Now consider this scenario. Imagine we had gone ahead and had children. I am sure she would have been happy. I am sure I would h The Fundamentals of a Great Marriage
