Years ago when I was in college the main option I had when it came to college textbooks was to rent them. We really had no choice… we just handed over our schedule and received a stack of books and a bill.

She has been handing out upwards of $150 for just one textbook! For a college student paying her … [Read more...]

Leap Frog Tag Reader System & LeapPad Learning Party : Review #LeapFrogParty
by 17 Comments
As a former elementary school teacher and a Parents as Teachers home educator, I knew that children learn through play. When researching toys for the kids I try to remember that the “coolness factor” isn’t the only variable that I should be looking at. With two children close in age, I try to focus on flexibility/individualization, educational value, durability and then the “coolness factor”. With four children ranging in age from 19 down to … [Read more...]

by
RCA Small Wonder Palm 1080p HD Digital Camcorder As the self-proclaimed historian in my house, I had been dissatisfied with my current method of obtaining video.

I was thrilled when RCA agreed to let us … [Read more...]
What We Tried: Vegetarian Paella Recipe
by 5 Comments
This week I was looking for something simple, preferably one pan and that everyone would like. I haven’t had paella since I was a child and that particular version was very spicy and contained shrimp. Everyone loved this dish.

Print Vegetarian … [Read more...]
