Not too long ago, Brandy from introduced me to a wonderful, free, social networking site for kids called YourSphere. One of the main reasons that I was extremely interested in YourSphere, was because Kylie was begging for a Facebook account, and I refused.  YourSphere is completely free, and a great place for her to be online and safe at the same time.

5 things to have handy on Christmas morning!

Before the sun even shows it's face on Christmas morning, the kiddos scamper into the living room as fast as they can to see what all good ol' St. Nick has left them as he trekked his way around the globe the night before. The little ones start tearing into the wrapping paper that Santa Claus has so carefully taped to each and every box.  They are so excited to see the fun new toys that they so carefully put thought into asking the jolly old man for as they sat on his lap weeks before. You've barely even had…
