Science With Kidzilla – Shark Edition
Reason number 75 why I love that my child is a reader… Kidzilla saw the tweet and photo below on my screen a few days ago and said, “Hey, that’s a black-tipped reef shark!” Just when you thought it was safe to watch Discovery Channel in the summer… #SharkWeek2015 http://t.co/lmo4274Dmb pic.twitter.com/I45CLSSwsG — Frank Pallotta (@frankpallotta)…

TToT – The One in Which I Tell You All of the Things
The Internet swallowed me. It seriously did. I hopped on the social media bandwagon and then…overwhelm. So many people – so many good people – to meet. And so many really amazing things to read. I couldn’t keep up. So I buried my head in the sand, stepped back, and said “whoa.” I am truly…

Friday Five – Things I Do Not Understand About My Blog
So I’ve had this blog for a couple of years now. I’m not even going to pretend that I understand most of the technical part of how it works. But I’m willing to poke around and look things up and read about whatever it is that I need to do. This usually works pretty well.…

Conversations with Kidzilla – How to Have a Happy Marriage
I love having conversations with my daughter. For starters, Zilla is a rather skilled conversationalist for a six-year-old. The kid knows how to have a discussion.

1000 Voices Speak for Compassion
In a million years, I never thought I would be part of something like this. I was never a joiner. I didn’t belong to a whole lot of clubs in school. I didn’t run for student council. I was just sort of quietly part of my one or two things, did them with gusto, stayed…

Sage Advice
My Grandfather was one of the wisest men I’ve ever known. He did not boast a wall full of advanced degrees. He was not a world traveler. He did not discover new planets or develop advanced technology. But he was a man who gained wisdom through experience and in turn, was glad to pass on…

Soup of the Week: Spicy Butternut & Vegetable ‘Stoup’ and Giving Things Another Try
Several years ago, my Mom had a fairly extended period of kitchen experimentation. In those pre-Pinterest days, Mom would sit with her impressive cookbook collection and look for new meals to prepare for our family. She liked to find new and different ways to prepare fairly standard ingredients. My Mom is a great cook. Most of…

TToT – Forward Motion
This week has felt like a blur of forward motion. The week sped by and somewhere in there I realized that we are about to get hurtled headlong into the holiday season. So here we go…
