Date: Saturday, February 01, 2014 Time:  10:00am-12:00pm Workshop is for Middle school girls (grades 6-9) with disabilities.  Middle school girls with disabilities, do you like to build, design, and create? Don’t miss this opportunity to learn the basics of using Scratch, an innovative free computer programming language that lets you program and share your own interactive stories, games, and animations. Join in the fun during this hands-on session led by volunteers from SciGirls, an Emmy-award winning PBS KIDS television series and website dedicated to changing the way girls think about STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math). No previous experience is necessary, and you will leave with the skills needed to work on animation at home! This workshop will be held in PACER Center's computer lab.

Gotta try this today!

Not that I needed another blog, but I've been connecting with a few families who have similar food allergies and wanted a place to share the little I know so I created Feeding Angels .  Please share if you know someone who could use this resource or has advice to give.  Thanks!

World's best daycare provider just posted this article . I'll tell you what, we had a family meeting and this is exactly how we looked! Fire roaring in the background, smiles all around, focus....not!  But we did meet as a family and resolved to cut back on screen time and spend more time together doing family things. We then broke into a National Geographic 1000 piece puzzle and annoyed the heck out of each other doing it our own ways.  I'm very linear and started flipping the pieces over and setting aside the straight-edged pieces. My genius husband (I say that with no jest) began linking pieces together..I have no idea how he did that so early in the game.  Our 10 year-old daughter followed in my tracks and began grouping the edged pieces by color and our 4-year-old daughter...well, some kinds of help are the kind of help we all could do without.
