One Family’s Journey With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

March 16, 2015 by Marianne Litman 1 Comment

When you hear the word arthritis, what first comes to your mind? For me, it’s usually older people, with painful joints.

What Happens When Kids Read Mean Tweets?

WWE Live Left My Nephew With Tears Of Joy

March 9, 2015 by Marianne Litman Leave a Comment

Even though the WWE was in its heyday when I was a kid, I never really, truly got into it. Blame it on the fact that I was a girl, or (more likely) blame it on the fact that I was obsessed with superheroes. But other than the basics, I didn’t really know too much about the WWE. I knew the big … [Read more...]
