The Best Free Android Apps for Kids (According to us!)

If you haven't already noticed, there is a plethora of apps out there nowadays. There is so much choice when it comes to what platform to use to download apps and software for your PC's, iPads etc. Being able to download free software which offers great games and entertaining website access for the kids is so important.

I Had a Makeover!

After several weeks of enduring BLAH appearance on my blog, I finally sat down (for several hours, I must admit) to put together a header and a logo for my page.  I added some color (just a dash!) and a little less rigid of a structure. I couldn't help myself--I had to use pink.  And I wanted to use a daisy, because to me they symbolize simplicity, freedom, calm, beauty.  And also because they are my favorite flower, of course!

How to Live Your Life

If there's anything that I learned about my uncle, whether throughout my life or just from the days after his passing, is that he lived a great life.  I'd have to say that, out of the three mortal men I admire the most, my uncle is one of them, preceded only by my grandpa, my father, and my husband. My uncle lived his life to the fullest.  Whenever he had the chance to laugh, he did.  If anyone could shine a light into a dark situation, he could.  He was loud when he wanted to be but quiet when he…
