Making More Time for Things That Matter
As a Mom who decided that sending my kids with a school lunch from home was a more feasible and healthy option, I have found some nights that I simply do not want to make these kids lunches. The problem is that my oldest was gaining a lot of weight years back from eating school lunches, so I won’t ever go back that route. I had a dilemma, I wanted to continue to make home school lunches for the kids, but I didn’t want to be spending hours every night making all three kids lunches. What is a Mom to […]
My Doll House Game Android App #Android #app #free
Today I share with you another app, an Android doll house game for girls on Google Play store. Just what my kids needed, another app, right? Well they do. These days it’s great to have a wide range of apps on your Android device so that your children can 1) learn technology for both fun and educational ways and 2) have a wide range of apps to engage them.

Kid Safe Email – Freedom with Parental Watch
I am all for giving kids freedom, the freedom to make choices on their own but with the parent watching “in the background”. Some things in life are things our children are going to have to learn how to work with properly and one of those things that are vitally important, are email. A kid safe email account with parental controls/access “in the background” is very important to me and that is why I recently tested out a service called KidsEmail.org! Kids Email is really easy to setup, basically you will go the KidsEmail.org website and click to sign up, […]
How to Export Shutterfly Group Calendar to Google Calendar
I found myself sitting at my daughter’s cheer practice as the other parents started to say how one game was cancelled and another practice was cancelled but I had no clue. When I asked how they knew, their reply was that it was on the Shutterfly Group page for our cheerleaders. This is a group that I don’t usually log into for I get email notifications, well apparently I do not get an email notification when the group calendar events have been cancelled or edited. This is where I realized there was going to be an issue. I wanted to […]
Always Looking for Online Games for the Family
My seven year old absolutely loves to play on the computer, this is a big change from my video game addict. You see, I haven’t purchased a video game in a long time so he only has games he has already finished.

I usually prefer to be the one using Google to search out safe online games that way I know he isn’t getting into any malware or infectious game websites that could crash our laptops. […]
Thoughts That Come to Mind While Being a Blogger for Near Five Years
In most of my blogging I am pretty open and honest about all of what I have to say, but that doesn’t mean that I “tell all”. You see, based on experience, once you put something out there in text for someone to revisit or bring back up in a cached or saved version of text, you cannot take it back. There are some things that you simply cannot try to hide or take back after the fact. That is why, while being a blogger, I have been forced to be somewhat honest when asked about certain things because if […]
