Ways to Avoid the Halloween Sugar Rush

(All treat, no trick!) My daughter was just over a year old when she went trick-or-treating for the first time. We took her out at my mom’s insistence. Grandma dropped 50 bucks to dress her first-born grandkid in a Disney Dalmatian costume, and by gosh the neighbors were going to get an eyeful of cuteness whether they wanted to or not. Given my daughter’s very young age, clearly our goal was not to score as many sweets as possible.

After he was three hours late, rescuers and volunteers started a search for the 63-year-old Fossett. Unfortunately, the area that Fossett was over is twice the size of New Jersey.

More Monopoly as a Learning Tool (Here and Now Version)

Tristi Pinkston recently wrote about how she used Monopoly as a Learning Tool while homeschooling. My son purchased Monopoly Here and Now for a family Christmas Gift, and today we sat down and played it… for 6 hours. We did not watch the television, or listen to music, we just sat and played and laughed and competed heavily. Just as Tristi and her family learned a great deal of lessons while playing, we did as well. The cool thing about the Here and Now version of Monopoly is that a few zeros were added to the monetary denominations and the … Continue reading →
