Friday Favorites- Great Posts from Other Bloggers
With only two posts this week (ok, this makes 3!) and now a roundup of favorite posts I’ve recently read from other bloggers, it does seem that I’ve been severely slacking. I assure you I haven’t been. I wish I could say it has been a feet-up-on-the-couch-bonbon-eating-week but it hasn’t. I’ve been working on BitMoms,…

PBS Parents Helps Parents Cope With Back to School Anxiety
Little Miss Techie will head off to kindergarten in just 13 days. I’m waiting for the anxiety, nervousness, and apprehension to set in but so far she seems fine.

Memories of Michael Jackson
Thriller was the first album I ever purchased with my own money. I remember walking by the music store at the Hillsdale Mall while out shopping with my parents when I was 10 and needing Michael Jackson’s album so badly.
