Goodbye to 2009

Tweet It seems 2009 has passed by so quickly. In some ways I am sad to see it go… This year brought many blessings and happy memories, new friends and strengthened friendships. But, this year also presented a lot of challenges for me and for my family. Some that I blogged about. Some that I [...]

Answered Questions

Tweet I am personally asked a plethora of questions on a daily basis, but none compare to those asked that lead the inquirer here, via search engines. Sometimes the question is odd.

V.Smile CyberPocket {Giveaway}

Tweet The new V.Smile Cyberpocket turns game time into brain time by combining a video game platform with educational content, all in a portable learning system. Think Nintendo DS meets Leapster.

“No, we don’t believe in Santa…”

Tweet Some people think we’re depriving our children of “the magic of Christmas.” Some people think we’re crazy for not encouraging our children to believe in miracles.
