To Edit or Not to Edit

Finding good writers who can consistently produce a quality product is hard, especially when working on a small time budget. On the other hand, it is a good project and it...

PMS and ADHD Don't Mix
Some months, I breeze right through—no PMS in sight. Others, it rages. Combinemy whiny twins waking me up before 5 a.m. and my ADHD kid going off the deep end the last couple of days with writing and work woes galore, I am a raging hormone waiting to explode. It is days like today when I really...

Fear Factor: Mom's Best Friend
It says a lot about how TV has affected children over the decades. Take for instance the mostly gross NBC series Fear Factor.

From Busy to Too Busy
