Lessons In YouTube

I’ll be honest. Until several months ago I was simply a casual YouTube user. I watched whatever videos went viral but beyond that? Eh. Whatevs. Then E turned me onto Daily Grace. And that’s when I discovered that there are people who create fresh content regularly on their own YouTube channels. WHO KNEW? It’s just like blogging, but with videos, which is why the cool kids call it…VLOGGING. Now, I’m not buying tickets to VidCon or anything yet, but... Read More

The Parable Of The New Shoes

I’ll be honest, I can be quite a cynical when it comes to some things related to running and running “injuries.” See? I can’t even leave the quotes off the word “injuries” because I’m such a cynic.

Insert Exasperated Sigh Here.

Wes is so adorable. Don’t let those big blue eyes fool you. He’s pure evil with big floppy blonde curls. ************************* I mentioned recently that Wes’s behavior been SO MUCH BETTER as he gets closer to the age of 4. I even took him to his first rehearsal for “Alice in Wonderland” the other day (He and Nikki are playing heart children in E’s play) and I was TERRIFIED that he’d be awful. But he wasn’t! He obeyed first time... Read More
