If you wanted to create your own formula, where you only manually select the taxable items, that would work. However, my spreadsheet is pretty basic and wouldn't do it automatically. I hope that helps some.

You're right, hearing a little one read God's Word is amazing. As far as Scripture memorization, we work on one scripture every two weeks. That's seems to be enough time and practice for them to memorize (plus hand motions help!!). I've been lurking on your site lately and wanting to try out more recipes.

I know it's a big help to at least see some improvement, even if just reassurance that it's just the phase. The terrible 2 was not very verbal and was often frustrated at that point. By 3, he was must more verbal and was happier. The tough 3 yr old has been very verbal since 15 months, so the 2s for him wasn't a big deal. By 3, he's mastered his language and learned how to use it against me. Not sure if that makes any sense.

The controversy lies in the editorial process, but I like that a blog comes across more raw and unfiltered -- real. Yes, I agree the conversation and debate will continue for some time. If you know anything about golf, the USGA requires the players to be accountable for their own scores and integrity. To me, that is the same as the bloggers-as-journalists argument. With that said, if writing a blog is an outlet to improve your journalistic skills, I say, "Go for it! Keep writing!"Kristy Rodriguezhttp://www.almostonpurpose.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2621199687075168169.post-14026390831646998442011-12-07T13:12:23.927-05:002011-12-07T13:12:23.927-05:00A great post for any beginning writer - lots of in...A great post for any beginning writer - lots of inspiration. It's definitely worth reading as we're starting our own blog (http://www.simplybeginning.com). Katy and I were both journalism majors, but the only journalism we're doing now is keeping a blog! That's a whole new debate - are bloggers journalists? That conversation could drag on forever!Chris Creechhttp://twitter.com/Chris_Creechnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2621199687075168169.post-25087894798403126732011-12-07T13:12:22.907-05:002011-12-07T13:12:22.907-05:00I love this.
