Chocolate on my Cranium: Help Name the New Weekly ...

I think as women, as mothers, when we are in the thick of everyday life we tend to forget there are others who are going through the same thing or have already gone through this stage of life. Or we are wishing we could connect with others to bounce ideas off of each other. There is so much we can learn and gain from one another!
I?m creating a weekly series that will be all about parenting, homemaking, family rules, motherhood ? basically anything and everything about running a home. But it won?t just be a series where I preach to you about what should be done. Rather it will be a series to share with each other our ideas, offer suggestions and advice, and discuss with one another various ways to help each other along this motherhood road. There will be guest posts, link-up opportunities to share your own blog posts, and hopefully a lot of good ol? woman to woman, friend to friend encouraging advice and communication.

Last week I asked for name suggestions for this weekly series. I have compiled a list of my favorites from the comments. After I explain why I chose each one I?d like for you to vote on your favorite name for the series using the poll embedded in the post.

Everyone?s Two Cents {suggested by Meg} We all have something to contribute and share, advice we can give, advice we can take. I want this to be a place where all opinions are valued and valuable.
Over the Back Fence? {suggested by Becky} Brings back those by-gone years where women discussed things over the back fence as they hung up their laundry or worked in their gardens. It suggests friendliness.
The Domestic Dollop {suggested by Los Industriosos} Aside from the fact that I love alliteration, I like how this name implies that we will be discussing all things in the domestic realm but it will be done in manageable dollops {like a dollop of whipped cream on top of your cocoa!} that we can tackle together.
Family Matters {suggested by An Ordinary Mom} I like this because it can be read two ways, both of which apply to our series. 1) Family matters. Our families matter to us. Families are important. They are vital and crucial to a good society. 2) Family matters. We will be discussing questions and concerns (the matters) we have about our families.
Establish a House - In our home right now we are focusing on the scripture from Doctrine & Covenants that reads: "Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing; and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God;" I even painted a canvas to hang in our home to remind us of what we are trying to achieve {which I'll show in another post}. It is from this scripture that the phrase "Establish a House" is taken.

Now that I've shared what I like about each name, make your voice heard and vote.

Did you vote? Good!

Before you go, I?d like to know what topics you would like to discuss as part of this series. It can be anything from potty-training to teenage dating, laundry to family traditions. Do you know someone with experience in a certain area who would be willing to do a guest post? Would you like to do one? Let me know in the comments so I can start planning out the next few weeks of posts.

Here are the links to the two posts we've already done.

Using Tablecloths at Meal Times
