Homeschool: What About Socialization?
What about socialization?” Any homeschool parent will tell you that this is far and away the question they get hit with the most when it comes to their decision to homeschool. The level of curiosity it arouses in outsiders has led to those on the inside referring to it as the “s-word.” This fascination with our lack of socialization is…
Special Needs Focus: The “Other” Sibling
Me and my brother in 1965 I often post pictures on Facebook about outings with my brother and so often I get the comment, “You’re such a good sister.” That comment makes me cringe, and until a few weeks ago, I wasn’t sure why it triggered such a negative feeling. I know people have nothing but good intentions when they…
7 Tween Geek-Recommended Shows to Check Out
These days, many of my same-age friends have kids who are grown, and more and more, some of the folks I grew up with are even introducing the world to their new grandchildren.

Did you ever get all worked up over something super intense that was happening only to have the whole situation completely fizzle out and you’re left feeling a weird anticlimactic sense of almost-but-not-quite relief? If you watched the news at all in the past week, you probably did. The beginning of this week in the news was a pure, unadulterated…

Pregnancy Hormones-for the Grandmother?!?
My daughter is the pregnant one, so why am I the one all emotional and teary? Ever since I found out my daughter is expecting another baby, I’ve been feeling tender and overly sensitive. The truth is, I’m always a bit of an emotional sap: I cry during the SPCA commercials, I mourn the deaths of strangers, I get overwhelmed…

Go Make a Family Fire Plan.
Do it Today.
Don’t put off making a family fire plan. As a firefighter’s kid, I grew up with a strong awareness of fire safety. One year, my dad even brought his bunker coat to my classroom and talked to the class about fire safety and his job as a firefighter. But I never became personally aware of the danger of fire until…

We Ran the Tulsa Zoo ZooRun 5K!
This is not a drill.
And we ran, we ran so far away.” That’s right. Your eyes do not deceive you. We. Ran. the. Tulsa Zoo ZooRun. 5K. *queue Twilight Zone music* Okay, so ran is a little hyperbolic. There was a lot of walking. But the fact remains that this out-of-shape nerdy girl and her three kids survived the Ascension St. John Tulsa Zoo…
Magic and Mice at Disney on Ice
This past weekend, we got to check out Disney on Ice, and it was everything it’s cracked up to be and more. This was our first time to see a Disney on Ice show, but I’ve wanted to since I was a little girl and they first started coming to Tulsa the first week of the fair, so taking my…
