Disney World, a Truly Kid-Friendly All-Inclusive vacation in the U.S.
In California we took a quick trip down to Los Angeles (my brother lives there) to take our then 19-month-old to Disneyland. My mother and aunt were visiting and we wanted to go before moving out of state (if you’ve lived in Northern Cali, you recognize the irony in this…big state). The family time was…
Happy Little Surprises
It was a snowy December day in 1996 in downtown Detroit. I had to trek across the Wayne State Campus. I had 3 classes that day. A Bio class in the morning, a UGL class at noon then at 3pm an Algebra class at Old Main. I got out of my little car when BAM!…

Heavenly Peppermint Marshmallows – from Living Well Spending Less
I would have posted this sooner but I had to be sure to test them first. I take no credit for this idea, it is all from Ruth Soukup of Living Well Spending Less (checkout her blog, it’s wonderful). The only caveat I will add is that when you leave them out overnight make sure…
Review of Touch ‘n Sing App by XING, Inc. available on: iTunes, Amazon & Google Play
Installation We tested on a number of devices: 2nd Generation Kindle Fire (not HD), HTC EVO (Android), iPad 2 and a first generation iPad. When searching, be sure you type “Touch ‘n Sing” not ” Touch & Sing”. The game will take a minute or two to load on all devices (24MB) and be sure before you…
