Breast Cancer Facts and Figures

With the news of the Angelina Jolie double mastectomy due to her high risk of developing breast cancer (she reportedly had an 87% risk, following genetic testing for the breast cancer gene, BRCA), there is a whole lot of talk about breast cancer facts — the gene, genetic testing, risk, prevention, treatment, and so [...]

Elearning Development: What does it cost?

This might come as a surprise to some people (it did to me, for one), but are you aware of how much it costs to develop elearning courses? I have to admit, I was under the assumption that elearning was easier and the lesser of the two when it comes to elearning vs. “traditional” [...]

How to Write the Perfect Blog Post

You’re a blogger…so you probably consider yourself a writer. (If you don’t, start. Right. Now.) For some people, words effortlessly flow from their pen (wait, do we use pens anymore?) or their fingers (ah, that’s it…we write on our computer) onto the page and the end result is enticing and engaging and compelling and [...]

Facebook EdgeRank: Figuring out the Algorithm

If you’re a blogger (or a brand or anyone with a Facebook Page), you’re probably wondering what the heck is going on with Facebook. Rightly so. You’ve worked hard to get fans and then you post on your Facebook page and…*crickets*…am I right? And you know it has to do with something [...]

Car Seat Safety Tips from Chicco #sponsored

The first time I bought a car seat, it was…1992. Oy. The options were somewhat limited, you could say. And car seat safety? That was a tad limited as well. It was pretty bare-boned…and you were kinda on your own, as far as trying to figure things out. Heck, I didn’t even have a [...]

@GoodNites Bed Mats: Dealing with #bedwetting challenges #sponsored

My niece has been using GoodNites Bed Mats for several weeks now. She is four and has been potty-trained since she was about 2-2 1/2 years old. I want to be clear on the difference between potty training and bedwetting, as they’re entirely different issues. It’s not like talking about apples and oranges; it’s [...]

How to Write Better, Right Now.

I’m pretty sure that there is no one out there who merely puts a pen to paper (wait…does anyone do that anymore?) and produces something that reads like a Steven King novel (other than Steven King). Writing is work. Writing well is hard work. But we can all write better. The real challenge is [...]

Kitchen Cheat Sheet

When I saw this, I knew I had to share it with you because it’s so useful! Sure, you might not need every single portion of this infographic…but there is so much that you do need (depending on what you’re doing in the kitchen), that it’s an invaluable reference for your kitchen. Anywho, you [...]

Celebrity Strollers (and stroller shopping tips)

I haven’t bought a stroller in so many years — and when I was doing my stroller shopping, the options were rather limited. In fact, if memory serves (it might not, admittedly), my options were little umbrella strollers and, for bigger strollers, they were pretty much of the no-frills variety. Nothing cool, fun and [...]

How do you become Pope?

I’ve been a Catholic my entire life (including 12 years of Catholic school) and, I have to admit, that I would be unable to answer the question, “How do you become Pope?”

Shame, shame.

I mean, I know you have to be a dude. And you have to be Catholic. And a priest. Well, [...]
