Based on my previous post Aliases for Safety on the Net, meet “The Girl.” She’s our ultra-girley, uber-sensitive and undoubtedly lovable little girl who thinks she’s the third adult (and perhaps second in charge) in the family. She’ll be 10 this year and seems to already easily transition from the barbie-doll playing little princess to […]

Aliases for Safety on the Net
So earlier this week, I was talking with my new friend @audcole at the #LRTweeties about blogging, children and “being safe” online with regard to kids. See when I first started blogging back in Fall 2008, I initially set up my blog to be protected, i.e., only viewable by permission. I soon convinced myself that […]
45 Days
It’s been about 45 days since my last post. I’m not saying that because it’s a record I’m proud of or anything … just pointing out the fact that I’ve been a blogging slacker as of late. And actually acknowledging the length of time makes it even funnier to me that I’m blogging now. You […]

My New ‘Mini’ Blog

Enjoy! “The Birth of ZuZu’s Petals In Frank Capra’s holiday classic It’s A Wonderful Life, George Bailey affectionately calls […]
The ‘Birth’ of ZuZu’s Petals
In Frank Capra’s holiday classic It’s A Wonderful Life, George Bailey affectionately calls his sick daughter by the name “zuzu.” When he learns she has come home from school sick, he checks on her and she shows him her flower and loose petals. With the innocence only a child can muster, Zuzu asks Daddy to […]
