Back to School… In August…
It is forever going to feel weird to me that kids go back to school at the beginning of August here in the south. I grew up in Southern California, where the school year ends in mid to late June, and school starts back up right after Labor Day. I’m not smoking something, right? That’s the…

When Your Kid Has a Bad Dream
“I had a bad dream!” We hear our four year old utter this sentence at least three to four times a week in our house. Probably more. Usually, it’s a ploy to come sleep in mom and dad’s bed. I know this because he’ll yell it literally 3 minutes after bedtime, when there’s no earthly…

How to Clean a Laptop Touchpad
Phil started using ABCmouse.com this week, which he was super excited about. They advertise on all the kids tv channels, so we’ve been hearing about how he needs to use ABCmouse.com to learn about reading for months. I’m not kidding. Months. So when we got our account set up, I saw they had an Android…
