a daily diary of one ordinary mom...

A little of this and a little of that is what you will find on this blog. I am a mother and educator so I have a few opinions I would like to share. I work in instructional technology and have tips you can use every day at home or in the classroom. Don't be surprised by postings of random thoughts...they are guaranteed to happen. Enjoy!

Thinspiration provides pictures of thin girls to inspire and motivate your tween or teen to get super skinny. So, the first step of being a parent of a young girl is knowing the terminology.
