The Dust Is Beginning to Clear…Somewhat
My blog philosophy is “if it has anything to do with the kids I don’t blog about it.” What??? Yeah, it’s as bad as that when you have a teen and a tween. Most topics are off limits. Hard for…
Grand Theft Childhood: Bakugan [Giveaway] [Closed]
A few months ago I was invited to an event in DC. Work commitments prevented me from getting to the event. The event — Grand Theft Childhood with Dr. Cheryl Olson — focused on a topic near and dear to…
