What Moms Really Want

Alright Moms- it's not Mother's Day and thank goodness Christmas is ten months away, so you might be wondering why I'm discussing ideas for what Moms want. Well, the release of Taraji P. Henson's new movie, "What Men Want," got me to thinking. I can't wait to see the new movie because I enjoyed the ... READ the POST

You know how you want something to work so much so that you can't think of the alternative because in your mind there is no alternative? Well that was me. I took a little blow from that, applied some duct tape and kept on moving.

Want to learn a foreign language or how to fix your car or how to play a sport… pick up a book and read away. They ... READ the POST
