Seasoned Hearts

This is the place! A place where parents can laugh, visit, learn and share with other parents the joys and blessings of raising happy, confident children in today's world. Parenting is not something you do alone and when you are needing a little help or advice why not ask the parenting experts?

I come from a family of seven siblings and we never had a dull moment. Our parents provided a very loving, disciplined, spiritual, and fun filled home. I have truly adored children since my pre-school years and I still adore them today...some years later. They are our future and I invest a lot of time in providing them with laughter, fun, and precious childhood memories.

The Truth Behind Nursery Rhymes

The other day I was searching the Internet for the second line of the Nursery Rhyme, 'Little Jack Horner when I stumbled across this unique website http://www.rooneydesign.com. I was quite shocked and unaware that Nursery Rhymes originated from true events.

When Jack Horner stuck his thumb in a Christmas pie that he was delivering, he discovered title deeds to twelve manorial estates and stole the deed to the Manor of Mells, a real plum of an estate. To this day the Horner family resides there. Isn't that interesting?

Whether your favorite Nursery Rhyme is 'Ring Around the Rosies, Hickory Dickory Dock, or Hey Diddle Diddle', check out this website http://www.rooneydesign.com/ to learn where the famous lyric originated from.

Pleasantly surpised and educated,

Vicki Durr
