Big Bible Town Review – Online Bible Adventure Game for Kids

As a homeschooling mom, one of the ways that I have learned to keep my sanity during the day with a 3 and a 6 year old both fighting for my attention is to utilize the technology we have in our home.  We try to take advantage of online and computer based activities as often as we can.  The kids really enjoy it, and it gives me a little time to escape to the bathroom or do laundry!

Mindfulness has nothing to do with politics; it is not a religion or a theory. Mindfulness is a way of living each moment in a way that expresses kindness and respect for all. I think, as…

Daycare for sick kids. Reread that.

I ran across this article earlier that caught my eye.  Yeah, I know, I said I wasn't going to look at the local news sites, because they drive me batty, but I was looking for a PR contact and this was the main thing I saw.  Headline: Day care for sick kids brings relief to working parents Of course, I HAD to look, wouldn't you?  At first, I was thinking it was going to be a regular daycare, but when I read the article, I found out that it's more like a clinic full of nurses.  What about relief for…

I have an awesome online friend that I've never met in person, but I've known her through the internet for several years.  She is the most talented and creative person I think I know!  Her name is Tree, and her blog is The Enchanted Tree.
