This won't come as a surprise to you, but I kind of adore Robert Pattinson. You know, the man behind the sparkling vampire that has teenage girls (and, ahem, not-so-teenage girls) swooning.

A friend of mine recently got a brand, spanking new iphone and she is obsessed with it. I mean, more obsessed than I am, if that is possible. But, she is in the market for a few good apps. So, I thought I'd use this space to recommend some of my favorites to her...and to recommend some that I know … [Read more...]

The Boy is blessed with copious amounts of toys.  Mountains of fun, interactive, learning-centric, "important for his development" toys.  Toys that have cost hundreds of dollars and were lovingly bestowed upon him by his generous family members. To be perfectly honest, he's not a huge fan … [Read more...]
