I have roughly 170 blogs on my blog feed (yes, I counted) that I read or use to keep track of trends, rumors and interesting information in the publishing world. I add usually one new blog a week, though I’ve gotten more selective as time goes on. And not all of those 170 are updated [...]

I got her dressed up yesterday to go to her mima and poppy’s house. She actually posed for a couple of pictures. I know, I know, you’ve seen lots of Brianna pictures lately, but I’m getting ready to host Mom’s Night Out and I don’t have time for insightful posts Just photographing cute girls…

It’s not soccer games, all the little ones are under [...]

Compliments of my husband and well worth a look. http://www.brookstone.com/# Go there, click on launch demo in the iGallop box and watch the video. It’s maybe 15 seconds long but it’s sooo worth it to take a look and get a quick chuckle. As Mandy said: They need a 1-900 number. :devil:

Today’s entry for Teaching Tuesday is going to be more show than tell, because, well…the examples are what really make this common writing misstep obvious.
