ITouch = I touch everything. We all make decisions in different ways. Some people act on impulse and buy the blender that can chop up a rake handle while others think, why in the heck do I need something that blends gardening tools? Online shopping is huge but more often than not, when I shop for clothes, I have to actually touch each item, something I get picked on for. No, I’m not. The shirt.

Low reading skills are a crime! 2/3 of students who cannot read proficiently by the end of 4th grade, will end up in jail or on welfare. Sadly, he’s right.

She looks hurt for a second before whining, That’s what you always say to us, Mommy. I thought this castle was better than ‘nice’ this time. Do you ever find yourself lost for words when it comes to congratulating your children? You’ll find that your children...
