Yes, it looks like I'm moving again...
Well, my blog, that is. This will be the fourth move for this blog since 1999, and the second time it has lived on Blogger.
Now, that is not entirely true. This blog started as Rubble, which is still alive and well, but it is no longer my personal blog, and all of those sorts of entries were moved (or were in the process of being moved, several ( Read more... ) -

Okay, I think the phrase "No-Fail Zone" just got added to my lexicon. This is not a good zone for a kid to be in. Sometimes life comes with disappointments, and the time to learn how to deal with them is when you are young, not ( Read more... ) -

Not entirely all the way to the teen years with my kids, but I've got under a year now before the first one hits 13. Should be a... ahem... fun ten years as my boys move through their teen years... These are some excerpts from a really great National Geographic article.

Yes, I am still anti-Facebook for kids...
I am not a fan of kids on social media. Teens, sure, but under thirteen seems a bit much. My son would love a Facebook account, but I do not think he is ready.

They still have a long way to go, and there will be a plethora of new challenges coming with the start of school in a little over a week, but I am really proud of the progress they have made the last few months.

And whenever a kid throws a temper tantrum in the middle of the shopping ( Read more... )
