Moms Guide to Technology

I know I went AWOL for a few days.  My sister and her kids are visiting from Illinois.  It has also prompted frequent weekday visits from my nieces down the street.  Any mom of teens will tell you, given the choice to hug and cuddle with little nieces and nephews or write about digital life, there is no choice.  Life is for living!
