Looking for a safe alternative to Facebook for your tween?
I’m not what you would call technically savvy. I have dubbed the system comprising 3 remote controls, a DVD player, a wii, a PS3, a FIOS box, and a TV…an incomprehensible mess. Why I cannot easily turn on the TV and watch ANYTHING is incomprehensible to me. Push HDMI…hold it…wait for the Wii screen to...

The kids and husband are off school. We’re stocked up on water. We have food. The outdoor toys are stowed in the garage. The electronic devices are charging. The wind is starting to kick up. The rain is about the same intensity. We have power…for now. Now that my home is ready for Hurricane...

As a teen I loved shopping with my best friend. We ventured in to our city’s shopping district many, many weekends. We browsed. We tried on clothes. We looked at clothes that were way out of our budget. We laughed at clothes that we thought were ugly. My friend and I bought clothes that...

I’m back from BlogHer. It was 5 days of fun. Five days of walking until my feet were on fire. Seriousl, my right in step is not on speaking terms with me. There were sessions, parties, and events. And yes I was rocking the sneakers and socks during the day and night. Just call...

So let’s see. The summer is over half way over. I’m sure this is not the first time and it certainly won’t be the last time I’ll exclaim “Wow, where did the summer go?” Summer, like every other season, flies by. Did life move slower when I was working and had no children? Did...

Hunger. I never think about. Oh, I’ve certainly been hungry before. I could definitely afford to ignore those hunger pains, but have I ever experienced true hunger? No, not even close.
