Want to Reach Your Goals? Write them DOWN!
July 25, 2009
Want to reach your goals? There is a big secret!
What is a goal? It is more than a wish for something better. In fact, it is a declaration of what needs to change in one’s life. As a declaration, goals are written down.
Why is it so important to write down goals? The first and most common sense reason is that we will forget them. Plenty of us have minds like steel sieves. Writing down our goals is like putting rocks in with all that sand. Rocks are too big to go through the sieve so they stay. Read more

The Proposal!
July 8, 2009
We had an amazing weekend last weekend. I just MUST spill!
We had the kids home for the weekend. Most of you know that I have an empty nest–well, except for beloved puppy dogs who are promising me that they will not ever, ever grow up! 
It is SUCH a treat to have the kids home and around. I love making memories. This weekend, we made a memory that I don’t think ANY of us will ever forget: Matthew proposed to Whitney. It was one of my most precious memories ever!
I think it is better for you guys to “join” us by video to “be there” with us. How about it? Well, here we go… Read more

How to Protect Kids from Mobile Internet?
July 8, 2009
Cindy,
I follow your parenting tips and think lots of us are concerned not only about quantity of screen time but obviously quality – especially now that kids can get to the web on our phones, the iPod Touch devices, etc. I am friends with a software developer team who have 7 kids among them, and they recently created a new iPhone app (works w/Touch too) that is a “safe” browser. It filters automatically the bad sites like adult content, guns, gambling, as well as stuff like YouTube, etc. It also has a long list of fun, appropriate and human-vetted kid-safe sites, divided into categories. Parents can set usage limits, view usage and get email reports on what kids are doing. Parents also can add sites to the “safe” list.
Don’t know about you but I don’t want my elementary-age daughter viewing adult content on my phone! Website is www.surfbalance.com if anyone might be interested in learning more. Read more
