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

Despite my proclamations on the internet that I am #notatechie, I have actually been an early adopter of a couple of technologies. Shocking, right?

My son IS the ultimate Skylanders fan. How do I know this? He plays the game whenever he gets the chance. He talks about Skylanders all the time. He knows miniscule details about Skylanders that he tells us…and then quizzes us about what he just told us in case we weren’t listening and don’t...

You’re driving to pick up your kids. Enjoying the last moments of relative quiet before the kids pile in the car. And you hear a beep. Is it the radio? Or is it a police car? Instinctively you reached for your purse. Sure that the beeping is the new ringtone on your phone. When...
