Entrecard Experiment 2008-05-31 10:03:47 This is a continuation of yesterday's blog "Entrecard Roadtrips". I signed on to Entrecard to find an ad for me to approve. Since my blog goes along with my business sites I have to check out the blogs to make sure they do not contain anything that is not family friendly. My advertisers would be none too happy about that. So while I was there I decided to start my first road trip from there. My ne Read more:Experiment
Want More Traffic For Your Site? 2008-06-03 12:32:09 Everyone wants more traffic right? Is there such a thing as too much traffic? That would be like too much money or too much chocolate.

section.(ARA) – The Internet is changing the way kids learn about the world around them; but unfortunately, not always for the better.

Rubber Egg Experiment 2008-06-11 18:48:07 Today is our first day of summer break! I am loving it so far. We are busy doing a whole bunch of nothing today. I wanted a nice long day of laziness. Maybe tomorrow we will do something productive. We have relatives coming to visit over the weekend so we should do a good scrub around the house. A fun family is not necessarily an always spotless family. :)My kids keep wanting to do the Rubber

Gardening With Kids 2008-06-18 08:41:46 We have been very busy working on the yard still. This afternoon I will be doing a lot of weeding again. It has kept the kids active and busy. People are much busier these days. Things get put off and then forgotten. Families tend to forget about growing things with their kids.Kids learn so much while gardening. They learn where their food comes from and many science lessons. It is also a great o

Matt Kenseth Autographs 2008-06-24 09:02:20 Finally the craziness is over. James' mother and youngest brother came and stayed with us over the weekend. We grilled out twice and had a bon fire. We tried to be outside more but the bugs have been horrible. I can not even leave the dogs outside. We have gone through a ton of OFF.
We live about 20 minutes from the Matt Kenseth Museum so when people come to visit the girls want to bring them th Read more:Autographs

Falling Bush Game 2008-06-19 23:33:24 Well, It is Friday so it is game day. I just had to do this game. I discovered it over a year ago and maybe it is wrong for me to say this, but I think it is really funny. You can move him around with your mouse if he gets stuck or if you just want to give him a toss.
A Day at a County Fair 2008-07-10 09:43:09 Life has been a bit crazy at our house this week. My parents came in from Arizona and are going to be here for a week. This means that I am behind on everything again. It always seems like when I get great ideas and new things that I want to add to the main website I get too busy to get anything done. I am really excited about some of the new things for the website so it is killing me that I do no Read more:County
Make Your Own Window Clings 2008-07-08 11:26:50 Window clings are loved by kids during the holidays. What about the rest of the year though? These window clings can be used all year long and be as beautiful as stained glass. All you need is a picture and the ability to color between the lines. Kids can make things from their favorite coloring book and adults can make things that match or enhance the room it will be in. If you would like to see Read more:Window

on NBCI do not normally watch a lot of television. This means that I do not normally talk about much television. I HAVE to talk about this show though. There are TONS of reality shows that have absolutely no family values. Most reality television is completely about ratings. Ratings are usually the best when people are at their worst. This show will not only bring in ratings but it
