I have always wanted to see the seven wonders of Brazil. Brazil is a country that has always fascinated me because it is so rich in history and culture. Brazil is a mix of Portuguese, African, indigenous Indian, and southern European influences. Since it’s doubtful I’ll get to visit the Seven Wonders of Brazil, this […]
I love TV and I spend a fair amount of time unwinding at the end of the day in front of my favorite television programs. I’m one of those people that loses themselves entirely in a program. I jump when I’m startled. I cry when I’m sad. I picture myself in the program. The Showrunners […]
Finn the Human and Jake the Dog are stars in the Cartoon Network series Adventure Time. Finn and Jake live in the post-apocalyptic Land of Ooo. Chances are if you have kids you are very much familiar with this series that first premiered in 2010. I’ve had the opportunity to review Adventure Time DVDs in […]
Video games are a big part of my life. When I was a child, my father worked in the computer section of AT&T. I remember him bringing home the very earliest “computer game” and spending hours playing it. My husband is a huge World of Warcraft and Everquest fan. Both kids are avid gamers. In […]
The civil rights movement is still very much alive today. I was born in the sixties and I didn’t really know much about the civil rights movement except for what was taught in schools. I’ve never seen a sit-in or a march or a demonstration. It’s more important to me what type of person you […]
Making learning fun is one of the most important things that educators can do. When children see learning as boring or something that has to be done rather than something they want to do, it stops as soon as they aren’t required to do it. Lifelong learning is something we can all enjoy when it’s […]
My daughter is a huge SpongeBob fan. Yes, she’s 22 but with SpongeBob, that doesn’t matter in our house. SpongeBob SquarePants is a classic program in our home that’s enjoyed by everyone. The only way SpongeBob SquarePants could get any better would be if it had superheroes. Guess what, now it does in The Adventures […]
I have always been fascinated by the suicide forest in Japan. If you haven’t heard about it, it’s the place where people go to kill themselves in Japan. It is supposedly haunted and no one will enter it unless they want to die. It is a 14 square mile forest that lies at the northwest […]
When I was younger, one of the few channels my parents got on television was PBS. We didn’t get cable, and I spent a lot of time watching documentaries and educational programs. Those early years on PBS, watching Julia Child, are also what got me interested in cooking programs. Now that I’m older, I enjoy […]
Marty and I have always been into preparedness. We stock up. We think about what we’ll need in emergencies. We try to be prepared just in case. You never know what will happen and living in a rural area, if we get stuck, we’re stuck. Blackout PBS American Experience on DVD gave me insight into […]
