Two from JoVE:
Career/Life Planning
One of the bad things about school and its relentless sequential model is that kids are asked as soon as they become teens to make decisions about what they want to do when they grow up and then told that the course choices they make in the next few years are going […]

I wrote a post on New Years Resolutions on my other blog. To add to my other resolutions, I’ve resolved to link my other posts here IF it doesn’t get too clunky. Which it may — we’ll see. How do I decide what goes on that blog and what goes here? I can’t […]

Steph at A Room of My Own shares thoughts about the book Upside -Down Brilliance as it relates to her own feisty three. Stephanie at Throwing Marshmallows has listed them here along with some of Cindy’s posts, so I don’t have to : ). I thought this was a great […]

I wanted to get this link to lots of notebooking resources up here.
This is a continuation of my last post on notebooks.
I was not a very consistent mom about keeping up a baby book, and I never got the hang of picture-taking until I got my digital camera. Lesson there — […]
