Put yourself in the other person's shoes. Try to understand them more than trying to be understood. Hard to implement!!

Oh thank you! Yes, I would love some good crockpot recipes!!! I am learning that is the way to go for me. 4 kids ages 4 and under, none of them in school or daycare....you can imagine me trying to cook, huh?! Haha! I have a fabulous tortilla soup recipe a friend gave me and our whole family LOVES it....I'll link it. :)

Re: Harper - Do you Hear Me?

That is so hilarious! My kids say the funniest things as well. My two year old daughter talks through issues with our 4 year olds son..."Manning, that's not very nice or loving, and it's important to be nice and loving. You hear me Manning? Answer me please." Hahaha... ;)

Re: 16 weeks

So, I am 16 weeks and am barely showing, still haven't told the news yet! BUT the scale at the gym yesterday showed that I had gained 10 TEN pounds! I just find that hard to believe. Maybe 6 or 7, but 10? I am so hoping that was because I had just eaten a fairly big lunch! Haha. And...my doc is going to see if she can tell gender tomorrow!!!! :D

You look great, and I LOVE Harper's silly faces!

Kelly, it is so fun for me to look at your weekly pregnancy pictures and posts. I am exactly the same far along as you pregnant, with our fourth. We have not told everyone yet. We are waiting to let it be a big surprise in a couple of weeks at our daughter's 1st bday. As you can imagine, I am showing, and it is getting a bit tricky for me to hide! ;)

Love the bathroom stuff! And the picture is SO cute, creative and great! You could sell it! :D Love it!

Re: Message from Harper

kristinstegent — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 10:19:50 -0000

Wow! How exciting! I am so happy for you guys!

We have another one coming in March also (our 4th!), but we haven't told yet....shhhh. :)

Re: 18 month check up

kristinstegent — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 09:18:25 -0000

Harper so does not look like a big girl. Seriously. I can't even believe that she is 31 pounds. Our son is 3 and weighs around 27 pounds. Ha. He is on the very bottom of the chart though...always has been! Our 2 year old daughter everyone thinks is big because she has a bit of a belly is actually only in the 5% for weight weighing in at 24 pounds. I guess it's hard to tell sometimes! :D

Re: Beauty Inside and Out

Thanks for sharing, Kelly! I like my hands and feet...both are kinda little and cute. Of course, those are things people have told me along the way, but are genuinely things I do look down and think are cute. I've got some thunder thighs, too, girl! And a ghetto booty! ;) I think one of the best things God gave me later in my life was the ability to have mercy and offer hope to people who have failed big time.

Re: Real

kristinstegent — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 09:41:42 -0000

I feel like I am "real" on my blog, but of course, I do post the happier times for the most part. I would probably blog about a fight my husband and I had, but that is not good for him/us. I think it's fine to blog about my own struggles, but when I start airing my husbands or mother-in-laws...that's not good. So really, I feel I am real, but I am not going to share something that could hurt someone else in my life.

I have heard you admit you struggle with weight, insecurity, going crazy at times with Harper, and now...fight some with your husband (which we all do, so I would assume). I think you blog just fine. ;)

Re: Beautiful Day and a little bit crazy

kristinstegent — Tue, 04 May 2010 09:43:47 -0000

That is just funny! Seriously! That made me laugh! Maybe they don't want anyone to break into their house and they think the mannequin in different outfits will help? Ha. Wow. Blanche. So funny!

Hmm...kinda looks to short the be Big Mac, but seems like something he would do. Big Mac dressed up like some sort of character.

THAT made me cry! Beautiful.

Re: Why homeschool?

kristinstegent — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 09:53:41 -0000

Thank you for sharing this! Our oldest is 3, and we are considering homeschooling as well...for many of the same reasons you mentioned. I have just had a negative view of homeschooling...until I realized it may be for us. Ha. We are going to take it one step at a time as well. Will be nice to read some of your journey with this along the way! :)

Re: secrets aren't for keeping

kristinstegent — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 17:18:06 -0000

Yes, yes...enter me in! :)

Also, I e-mailed you...which I know is a LOT to sort through for you! But we were e-mailing back and forth about me advertising on your sidebar and I am ready to do that now. I have the button linking to my shop and $ for advertising now. Thought this may be the best way to get to you. ;)

The mud hole thing seriously made me laugh! And I would have been screaming right along with you. It basically looked like you were driving through a pond to me. Haha! (Love the animal pics!)

Texas? Yes, yes...please come our way! :D

Re: in which I politely wrap up the socialism and chicken discussion

kristinstegent — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 10:37:12 -0000

I like that you put your opinions out there, knowing you may get some "hate" coming at you. I also appreciate the respect you show to people who disagree with you.

As far as socialism, I am admittedly not educated enough to have much of an opinion. What I do know of it, I do not like overall. I am undecided about the healthcare issue. My husband and I watched the documentary "Sicko", which did bring us to think twice about the best way to do healthcare.

Thank you for making me laugh this morning. :) That's funny and true for the most part! I am definitely a white girl who can't dance! :D

Re: obsession

kristinstegent — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 10:31:28 -0000

I, too, LOVE organizing, giving things away, clutter free spaces. My husband says I should do "clean sweep" for people. When we bring new things in, old things go out and are given away. Yeah, I was trying to think of something I am more obsessed with, but that it what I do when there is free time...so I suppose that's it. ;) Although I don't label like you...but now I may just try that sometime.
