See-Saw Dinner Table: The Fastest Way To Teach Table Manners
What? Nobody in your house eats dinner together? If you're like me, you don't even have a dinner table. Who needs a dinner table when you've got a hot pink beanbag and a '70s style shag carpet rug to sit on? Yeah, you can come over for dinner. Just grab a paper plate. We don't wash dishes either. It ...
Avoid Those Awkward Moments: Dinner Conversation Starters
I'm always fascinated when I hear about families who still have dinner at a dinner table each night. That seems so foreign to me since I haven't done that in years. As a matter of fact, a few weeks ago I was reading some information about what people look for most in a house. It said that in most ne ...

Study Finds Americans Love Their Gadgets More Than Family
Hmm... I'm not so sure I even want to be writing this article because it's kinda sad. Of course, that is assuming this information is true. Sometimes when we see these studies, the information is based on a survey of a very small group of people in an isolated area of the country, so the results can ...
Augmented Reality Is Coming To Your Car Window
Growing up these days can be tough. Things were so much simpler back when I was a kid. The best part back then was that we were allowed to be kids. These days, children have to grow up so fast just to be able to cope with the world around them. I'm glad when I see new technologies being developed th ...

Yay For Moms! Mommy Facts You Never Knew [Infographic]
My dear friend @gupshupblog always jokes that I'm his Twitter Mama. I'd like to think that I'm waaaaaay to young to actually be his mother (of course, right? lol) but his little nickname for me always makes me smile. Yesterday he sent me a DM on Twitter with the infographic below.

Illustration: Unicorns On Computer Paper
If you grew up in the '80s like I did, you remember the huge green and white striped computer paper with perforated holes on the side.

Creative Architecture: The Scariest Playground Ever Built
I remember back when Richard wrote about this rooftop pool because the way it was built made it look like you could swim right over the edge and plummet to your death. Putting that pool on top of a skyscraper right in the middle of the city made for a fantastic view, and I wouldn't mind taking a swi ...
Photography: The Role Of Genetics In Our Appearance
I've often heard that if you want to know what a girl will look like when she gets older, look at her mother because she'll look very similar. Do you think that is true? It isn't true for me.

Animals Show Off Their Synchronized Swimming Skills
I often hear people say, "It's the little things in life that make it sweet." I have to agree with that. Life isn't just all about grand occasions, although those are nice too. It's also about noticing and appreciating little things like a kind word, a smile from a stranger or even a pretty flower.

10 Purchases That Might Indicate A Midlife Crisis
Recently someone I know suddenly sold her house and gave away almost all her possessions. It was such a bizarre move, and to me, seemed very out of character. She is about 50 years old, and when I was telling my friend about it, she said, "It sounds to me like she is having a midlife crisis." I was ...

It's now been a while since the initial reports of the BP oil spill showered the world in chaos and fear of what was to become of it. It took several months before they could block the constant flow of crude oil into the sea, but was it too late?
Sure, BP got their penalty, and in the end, they h ...
