Tonight the Opening Ceremonies of the London 2012 Olympic Games will begin. The Olympic Games kick off TODAY, July 27, and run through August 12. What’s YOUR Olympic Sport?

With temperatures in the 90s and 100s for weeks now, my kids have spent way too much time indoors this summer. Their tendency, of course, is to sit in front of the TV or play games on the computer, but I would much rather encourage the kids to dig in to a good book. Author [...]

Before heading to Type-A Parent Conference last week, I was chatting with a few friends about updating their head shots while we were there. I figured I’d set aside a few hours to take as many head shots as I could. What I never expected was that I would look back on those two hours [...]
