Thoughts from my High School Reunion

rebeca  Tuesday, September 20, 2011

Have you been to your high school reunion yet? My class recently had its 15 year reunion, and I was really dreading it! In fact I actually didn’t decide to go until the day before! I was having a lot of fun connecting on facebook, but I was pretty much terrified at the thought of [...]

How would you feel if your boss gave you a reindeer mug full of starlight mints or a bottle of heavily-scented lotion for Christmas? Exactly, that’s what I thought! Unfortunately, more often than not, these are the types of gifts parents give their kids’ teachers and childcare providers. I know this [...]

A baby asked God, “They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?”
God said, “Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you.”
The child further inquired, “But tell me, here in heaven I don’t have to do [...]

UPDATE: Flaw in Facebook Privacy Settings

rebeca  Thursday, April 29, 2010

It has come to my attention that there is a serious flaw in Facebook’s privacy settings.  I thought I should share this information because most people think that if they have their privacy options set to “friends only” that—as the name implies—only friends can see their posts. But that’s not the case anymore. In fact, [...]

Glyde Makes Buying and Selling Online Safe and Simple

rebeca  Thursday, December 10, 2009

I love making a quick buck by selling old books and movies online, but sometimes it can be a hassle. I have to get the right sized shipping envelope, pack it up and then head to the Post Office or UPS store to get it out. I always have a plan to get that done [...]

Weekly Tip

“Oh, The Places You’ll Go” End of School-Year Tradition

It’s not too much longer till the school year comes to a close, so I wanted to share this amazing idea I found on…you guessed it…Pinterest. You all know the book Oh, The Places You’ll Go from Dr. Seuss. It’s a great graduation gift. But, Lisa from Lisa’s Workshop suggests grabbing a copy when your kid is young. At the end of each school year, give it to your child’s teacher to sign or write a note. When you’re child graduates (hard to think of!), you’ll have a lovely gift to give him/her. Lisa has even included some lovely tags in her blog post, so make sure to go check it out.

For more clever ideas like this, make sure to follow me on Pinterest.
