How Do You Feel About Your Kids Being Online?
Those of you who, like me, have older children know what a challenge it is to find them worthwhile safe (in my mind) and enjoyable (in their mind) activities online. Last December, I had the opportunity to review a social networking site for kids called Yoursphere.com. KitKat (13) and Necco (almost 11) were thrilled to…

Mental Health Day (Again?!)
Would you believe that Reese was too sick to go to school this morning? Neither would I…. Here’s what we’ve been up to today: This weekend was a Mental Health weekend for CandyMan and me.
