* Do you have an anger problem when it comes to your kids? This looks like a great resource - and it's free (once you provide your email address).

* I know many of you are sending your kids off to college, so I think this is of interest: The University of California (among other Universities, I've been told) is banning certain words and phrases, including "land of opportunity" and "melting pot." Two thoughts: Schools are supposed to be places where kids are taught HOW to think, not WHAT to think; they should be about expanding minds, not closing them off. And once you start banning words and phrases, you know what comes next? Banning books. Because you can't expose people to books that contain those "offensive" phrases.
* I made apple spice pork chops last week. It was DElish! (Don't be put off by the combo of pork, apples, and onions; trust me, it's tasty.)
* 7 Reasons You Need to Eat More Eggs.
* Ever wonder why backyard chicken eggs have such orange yolks? Fresh Eggs Daily explains.

* Our rivers and lakes are full of artificial sweeteners, scientists say.
* I just finished this novel last weekend, and it is EXCELLENT. I rarely give books 5 stars, but I did this one. If you love Gothic novels like Jane Eyre, or you like stories of intrigue, I think you'll love this novel by Sandra Byrd (who is one of my very favorite Christian authors).
