Today we have a guest post by Margie Hord Méndez. Today I had a lousy day! Our first-grader Steve was excited about reading and writing, so we hung up a calendar in his room for him to mark the passing of time and record events. Once, at the end of a month I happened to [...]

Today we have a guest post from Craig Sobel from Dadocity. Enjoy! My nine year old son knows more about professional football than you do.
