A Stagno: February 2010
http://amanda-stagno.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 26, 2010. Let the Bodies Hit the Floor. Whoever did this is a genius. It is funny and scary at the same time. I especially love the parts where Hinn is whipping people with his coat. The kids say funny things. They make me laugh. Incrappables" = The Incredibles. Chucky Barns" = Lucky Charms. He used to call purple "Ravens," but he doesn't do that anymore. This morning I asked him what his favorite color was and he said, "Purple! Just like the Ravens! Now he says, "That's for your 'gina!

A Stagno: My Santa Dilemma
http://amanda-stagno.blogspot.com/2008/12/my-santa-dilemma.html
Wednesday, December 17, 2008. Long, long ago, B.C., I decided I did not want to teach my kids that Santa is real. He is not the reason we celebrate Christmas and our culture has over glorified him. I don't mind my kids learning about the origins of Santa and what he represents, but I never had a desire to allow them to believe he truly exists. Until the other day. I still hate the thought of allowing my kids to believe in Santa though! 12/20/08, 6:45 PM. 12/21/08, 5:17 AM. View my complete profile.

A Stagno: My Santa Dilemma Revisted (& Resolved)
http://amanda-stagno.blogspot.com/2009/12/my-santa-dilemma-revisted-resolved.html
Sunday, December 20, 2009. My Santa Dilemma Revisted (& Resolved). A year ago I wrote about our predicament. In trying to figure out whether or not Jason and I will allow our kids to believe in Santa. We have come to the conclusion that we would rather our children not believe Santa is real. Last year I emailed our pastor at the time, Mike, for his opinion and asked how he handled it with his own family. Here is his response:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

A Stagno: Priscilla
http://amanda-stagno.blogspot.com/2009/11/priscilla.html
Monday, November 16, 2009. I had 2 best friends in high school. Jackie, who I affectionately call "mi negra," is still one of my BFF's to this day. Priscilla, who we called "Silla" (sometimes we'd call her "chair" too - we were in Spanish together - "silla" is chair in Spanish), left this earth 10 years ago today.

A Stagno: May 2009
http://amanda-stagno.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 30, 2009. I swear I'm gonna gain about 50 lbs due to all this stress. It makes me want chocolate like nobody's business. What a hectic day! Last minute we learned of a graduate yard sale where we could take our furniture to sell this morning. Yay for us! Which caused Jason to get to the sale a half hour late. I also sent him in the opposite direction when I told him where it was being held. Oops. The downstairs area quickly became a ginormous mess as we started boxing more stuff. Then J...

A Stagno: I'm Kind of a Jerkface
http://amanda-stagno.blogspot.com/2009/12/im-kind-of-jerkface.html
Thursday, December 17, 2009. I'm Kind of a Jerkface. A couple times today I snapped at Jason, unnecessarily. This morning I was frustrated because I was trying to get the kids ready to go to the "docker" to get "shops" (that's Solomon-ese for "doctor" and "shots") and Jason wasn't helping me at all. Nevermind that he felt like poo - "I don't care if you're DYING, help me! I didn't really say that, but that's how I was acting. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

A Stagno: July 2009
http://amanda-stagno.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 22, 2009. He will NOT be ignored. I tried to spend a few minutes online, you know, just to have a short moment of "me" time. but I can't. Because Solomon is having a wicked tantrum right now. He is pulling my chair away from the computer, he actually climbed on the desk to sit between me and the computer, and he's wailing. Maybe I should feel guilty about this. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Follow me on Twitter. Blogs I Like to Read. Daily Blog, Daily Blog.

A Stagno: September 2009
http://amanda-stagno.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 23, 2009. Islam on Capitol Hill - A Rant. I received the below email this morning and honestly, it got me a little riled up. (Pretty long, sorry.). September 25, 2009. Islamic Day of Prayer at the White House. We received this email today and feel that it is important enough to pass along to you. We need to continue to pray for our nation like never before! In June 2007, Presidential candidate Barack Obama declares the. USA no longer a Christian nation. 2 Chronicles 7:14 says "if my ...

A Stagno: Gender Roles
http://amanda-stagno.blogspot.com/2009/11/gender-roles.html
Friday, November 20, 2009. Or discourage my daughter from "being a football player" if that's what she wants to do? Would sticking to gender-specific toys contribute this discouragement? This didn't sit well with me &, honestly, I still don't know how to find balance on this issue. As a parent it is my responsibility to help foster their identities. Part of finding identity involves gender. How am I supposed to do this? Your kids are so getting the Free to Be video for Christmas! 11/20/09, 9:04 AM. Follo...
