Such good advice.  I have a monopod for my camera, and a monopod with a smartphone holder for my phone.  SO very worth the investment.

The best thing I think we did was to play our music in the car and home for our children from a very young age. Little kids can’t help but get excited about music when mom and dad are singing and dancing to music. We never played “kids” music for them. I always felt that just like I found my own music on the radio and…

I like a super runny yoke. Wouldn’t want to accidentally let it cook. Need as much as possible to dip my bread in. To accomplish this, I use the spatula to break the whites up a little so they will cook faster, while leaving the yoke alone. Then flip them when the whites are close to cooked. And of course, bacon…

My step mom did them this way. She always used bacon grease for this method. Best eggs ever.

My wife and I started early on introducing our kids to the music we liked. Especially the ones we could sing along with. They saw our enthusiasm, and learned to love what we love. We instituted a rule while driving, and it has worked it’s way into the home, that we take turns picking songs. In the car, we pick songs…

From me, they learn what like, and what excites me. They play the new music they learn for us, we share the music we love with them. They also get told that…

Slightly tangential to the angle of the article, but does anyone else have issues with the New Release sections updating? I have not had the Jazz or Classical New Release sections change in many months.

One of the great things about Republic is that they have a plan that will rebate unused data back to you. SO my wife’s plan is $20-25 for talk, text and 1GB of data. Last month she did not use all of the data, and got a $10 refund. If you spend most of your time on wifi, or use very little data, it is a great deal.…

I strongly recommend a joint account for joint expenses, and then personal accounts for spending money. When my wife and I were first married we agreed to each put one paycheck a month in the joint account. That meant I put about twice as much in the joint account, but percentage wise we were equal. This worked…

My daughter started playing violin in school last year, and was mesmerized by this video.

Yes. It tatstes better, and if yuou look around, it doesn't cost much more. King Arthur FLour has some good cocoas.

The black cocoa is awesome. As is the Bensdorp. (something like that anyway.)

Switch from Carnation to Ghiradelli or Godiva hot cocoa mixes. You will be a happier person.
