TPiB: DIY Chalkboard Fun
We’ve all seen pictures of some of the amazing chalkboard signs outside of book stores with their witty saying about reading. I give everyone bonus points if they make a Tardis reference because I’m a huge Doctor Who fan. Plus, the Tardis is just cool. Workman Publishing has a great book that will help us […]
Lockdown Drills, Bomb Threats and Testing, Testing, Everywhere – a discussion of I CRAWL THROUGH IT by A. S. King
Occasionally someone will write an article suggesting that YA fiction is overly simplistic and not real literature, to which a very reasonable answer is always: Have you read A. S. King? King is just one of the authors that prove that YA fiction is not just fiction but true, challenging, high quality literature that reflects […]
Video Game Review: Splatoon
This week, I am reviewing Splatoon for the Wii U. Splatoon was released in May 2015, and is currently priced at $54.99 on Amazon. This game is pretty significant for Nintendo because it has been a long time since Nintendo has created a new universe from scratch instead of rebooting old characters. Quick Synopsis: […]
TPiB: How to Make a Photo Meme
The Teen, The Bestie, some neighborhood kids and I spent the weekend perfecting our Meme process so that I could add a new station to my Maker Mondays. Our goal was to combine using technology with something artistic to create a great STEAM project that allowed teens to learn some new skills, explore some photography […]
Sunday Reflections: Exit Strategies, a personal reflection for national suicide prevention week (Trigger Warning)

For my first post (*gulp*), I would like to quickly introduce myself, and get to know you! Next week, I promise I will review a newer game. In the meantime, if you have any questions […]
TPiB: DIY Instagram Magnetic Duct Tape Frames
I am, as I believe we have discussed, obsessed with Instgram. Not so much the app as a social media tool, in fact my Instagram account is private in part because I take so many pictures and I figure everyone would be annoyed if they actually followed me. I like the filters and the light […]
Sunday Reflections: Black Belts and False Senses of Security, the dangers of this is how you don’t get raped (a #SVYALit Post)
On August 29, 2015 The Teen got her black belt in Tae Kwon Do. She spent 3 plus years working hard to reach this milestone that only somewhere around 3% of the population that ever starts martial arts training will reach. I watched her kick, punch, and sweat her way to this incredible achievement. I’m […]
