This week, May 4-10, is Children’s Book Week. In honor of its 96th anniversary, I thought it would be fitting to share this list of some of my favorite children’s books. I posted this list a few years ago, but I think it is worth sharing again. Later this week I will be introducing a children’s book author with […]

Facebook. The only place I can go to see what is going on with my teen-aged relatives, see the kiddos of my high school friends, and share my family’s accomplishments. Oh, and I can also use Facebook to see what you ate for lunch, how much you paid for gas, what movies you are watching, […]

Note to Self: You Don’t Own The Music
Anyone who knows me well knows I love ’80s music.

Peter Piper Pizza Birthday Parties – Hassle Free Family Fun
Birthday parties – loved by kids everywhere, but too often dreaded by parents.
