So, I have been on the lookout for great sites, and have a huge list of sites to go through and tell you about in the coming year. But the first site I found sucked me in as badly as Pinterest does (I think I spent three hours on the site yesterday!!!). Continue reading →

Rock Hill Children’s Museum and Historic Brattonsville

Posted on August 17, 2012 by

History is an important subject for me, personally. As the (paraphrased) quote goes, those who do not learn their history are doomed to repeat it. This is why I believe museums are so very important (and why we support the Arts). Continue reading →

Posted on January 6, 2012 by

The price of the iPad is well worth the cost to us, especially when they giggle and clap and try to say back some of the words spoken when listening to The Little Mermaid (not the Disney version) in Mandarin.
