I Can See the End of the School Year…Just Barely

Remember when you were in elementary school and your mom told you that the school year was almost over? You probably had a so-so handle on the concept of time. You probably asked every day if today was the last day of school. Your mom probably deeply regretted mentioning that the end-of-the-school year was...

Why I NEED To Go to Cybher and London! #UKSoFab

From time to time, I like to share fun stuff with my readers…his is one of those times. Collective Bias — a PR company I happen to love to work with– is sponsoring the Cybher conference in London on June 1st, 2013. Which is cool…very cool…but the icing on the cake is they are taking one lucky Sofab...

When Was the Last Time I Blogged?!

When was the last time I blogged? I’m being overly dramatic. I posted Friday. And I posted again today. But I haven’t done the regular almost-everyday posting for a while. Life keeps getting in the way of me blogging about my life. Irony, yes? So what have we been up to? I’ll start with...

News-O-Matic: An News App Fit for Kids

Sigh. I miss the newspaper. Double sigh. It was a sad day when I canceled the Washington Post. About three years ago, I had to admit that I was drowning in newspaper. Each day that the newspaper was delivered I would look forward to reading it. I would glance at the headlines. Put the...

Musings on Little Ones: Starting Languages Early #LangStars

The other day I shared with the kids that I had once taken Spanish in school. My daughter was interested as she takes Spanish. My husband was astounded. Apparently I had never mentioned this before. Uh…I am sure I have told him that I briefly took Spanish in middle school. I dropped it after...

Working on My Bucket List. What’s on Yours?

I found a notepad the other day. It was a white, narrow-ruled letter-sized pad. Full. No empty pages. Every square inch of every page was filled with writing. The corners of the pad were curled up. Pages were somewhat frayed. What had I written on the pad? On closer inspection, I saw immediately what...

Holiday Gift Guide: Squeeze a Little Fun in Your Stocking with @GoGosqueeZ #holidaygiftguide [#Giveaway ends 12/20]

I was chatting with a friend about holiday traditions. I shared that my mother always put my gifts in a pillowcase at the end of my bed. How do I know this? Because I saw the photos! Don’t worry I had long since stopped believing. What is funny, though, is that my parents continued...

Do You Manage the Family Schedule or Does It Manage You? #goodnesstogo

My friend looking at all the papers tacked to my bulletin board said: “Your bulletin board is making me stressed out!’ Me: “Right!?” My friend: “How do you keep track of everything you have going on?” Me: I had this conversation with one of the women in my Book...

Holiday Gift Guide: Games, Game Systems, Apps, and RC Toys

Do you ever feel that you are constantly outfoxed, outmatched, outwitted, and outplayed by your kids? The rolling of the eyes. The “Uh, Mom I already knew that.” Or the “everyone has known that for months.” Yep, I’m not exactly cutting edge on Kid, Tween, or Teen goings on…at least not 100% of the...

Taking Stock of My Family’s Digital Wellness @Safely #digitalwellness

As the end of the year moves in to view, I’m taking stock. Doing a report card on my family. Getting a picture of what we did this year…how we can improve next year. I’m asking questions. Looking back on the year. Did we stick to a budget? What should we change for the upcoming...
