Looking for a safe alternative to Facebook for your tween?
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...

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.

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...

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...

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...
