The Power of Words
“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” At some point, we’ve all heard that nursery rhyme yelled by some kid who’s being bullied on the playground. In fact, we’ve probably said it ourselves a time or two. Even as adults. I know I’ve said it more times than I care to count. I was one of those kids who was bullied and, eventually, became a bully. Hey, you try being a red~headed, yellow~skinned, freckle~faced, glasses~wearing, braces~having black chick. It wasn’t easy.

Meatless Monday: Spinach, Tomato and Cheese Tortellini
Remember a while back I said that the family and I were going to try going meatless on Monday once we settled into our new environs? Yeah, well, I’d totally forgotten about it too until I ran across a recipe for Spinach, Tomato and Cheese Tortellini in this month’s All You magazine. The recipe was submitted by Lori Merrick (I don’t know who she is but darned if this wasn’t delish and the kids loved it). Here’s the recipe as she submitted it, I’ll put in bold the changes that I made: salt and pepper 1 20 oz package dried cheese tortellini 1 TBS olive oil (vegetable oil, no olive…
