Welcome to my blog on topics about keeping the home - or attempting to - as a Gen X Mom of four and wife to one. :) This blog is written by me, Lori Seaborg, from the Florida-Alabama Gulf Coast. I'm not the person who is ahead of you in mothering and homemaking knowledge. I'm just the gal right beside you, motivating the 11yo daydreamer, keeping up with the 9yo future homemaker extraordinaire (every mama needs a helper like this one!), teaching the rascally 6-year-old while occupying the 3yo. Let's learn together!
This blog has always been a come and go thing for me. When I'm coming, I'm writing down what I've learned to share with you. When I'm going, I'm off learning from others.
Lately, I've been spending my time at two places:
WellTellMe.com, where you can learn about all sorts of natural things, such as how to make kefir (sort of like yogurt) and how to get rid of dandruff naturally. It's a forum, so you're reading from those who have tried this or that. I've always had a curiosity about things, so I love reading the posts, even if I have no intention of trying what I'm reading. Sometimes, though, I read of something I'd like to try, so lately I've been making kefir and found that we really like it!
SparkPeople: All of those other sites I gave you a month or so ago for eating well or losing weight pale in comparison to Spark People. At this site, you can do so many things: food journal, weight log, exercise log, read articles, join in the chats on the forum....it's like joining an expensive online weight loss/healthy eating group, only SparkPeople is absolutely free. Can't beat that!
Oh, and another place I've been online is on the group that I founded for sharing homeschool supplies with others for free. We broke 900 members last week! I'm so excited about what is offered on that board. http://www.groups.yahoo.com/group/FreeHomeschool Please join us!
I'll try to get back on here more often to share with you all that I have learned. Our Spring is in full bloom here on the Gulf Coast . There has been so much to do, and all of it is fun!

Lori, you may remember being one of the winners of a HSB contest to get your story published in my book 'Skydiving for Parents. Raising amazing kids without going into free fall' (Kregel). Well, the book has sold thousands in UK and is just about to launch in USA. I need your address to send your copy but the email address on your blog bounced me. Shall I try again?

Thanks for your post. I don’t know if you’re familiar with Maya & Miguel, a show on PBS in the afternoons -- http://pbskidsgo.org/mayaandmiguel -- that emphasizes cultural diversity and language learning but I’m reaching out to talk to parents about the program as part of a marketing project I’m working on with Scholastic.
I found your post and thought I’d reach out to say hello and ask if you’d like to receive a free Maya & Miguel DVD. If you’d like to receive the DVD just email me at Kerri at boldmouth.com with your address and I’ll have it shipped it out to you.
If you do choose to blog about Maya & Miguel show or episodes on the DVD, please make it clear how you received the information. Our goal is to be open and honest with everyone we reach.
