Blogs You Must Follow

So...I was actually going to post about Black History Month, which begins today.  But as I was doing some research, I realized that what I really wanted to do was going to be a bit more involved than what I had planned on.  So I had to come up with something else. Waaay back when I was in high school, I had a blog on Digital Expressions, where I was one of the top bloggers.  Of course, back then, I was just writing to write, I had more time, and I'm pretty sure "blogging" wasn't even a term yet.

Finding Gifts for Toddler Boys

So a few weeks ago, I received an invitation to my nephew's 2nd birthday party. And as I was thinking about his upcoming birthday, I was reminded of a dilemma that I encounter annually: I don't know how to shop for boys! I first ran across this issue when we attended Tinkerbell's friend's first birthday party. We went the store all ready to shop, and that's when it hit me. After shopping for girls for so long...I haven't a clue how to shop for boys. Especially toddler boys. It has been recommended to me to look at sites like infantcore.com…
