Are you thinking about starting your own kids' YouTube channel? If your children are anything like mine, they probably have been bugging you to start one for ages.
Unlike when we were growing up, "being a YouTube star" is now an acceptable answer to "what do you want to do when you grow up."
Kids under 13 are not allowed to have their own YouTube channel, so if your child falls under this age, you will need to set it up and run it for them and with them.
Starting your channel can be a fun and rewarding experience for you and your little ones.
Read on, and I will guide you through fi ..read more

I recently took my three children on a dream trip to Disney World. This was a fantastic bonding experience and journey for us. I had never been to Disney, and we had a wonderful time.
I do not write about it on my website, but one of my children has Autism and ADHD. On a previous theme park trip, she had trouble waiting in line and had a lot of anxiety dealing with the crowd and tight feeling of the line of people.
While researching Disney, I came across the Disability Access Service known as DAS.
I had never heard of this before reading about it on another website. I was trying to educate mys ..read more

As you can see from my site's content, I am a major Peloton fan.
Peloton rides are known for their excellent playlists, and years ago, we could not save the great music we heard on a ride or run. But now we can!
Peloton added the functionality to favorite a song you hear in a class by clicking on a heart next to it.
When you do this it will add the song to a Peloton music playlist on Apple Music or Spotify if this feature is set up.
Connecting Peloton to Apple Music and Spotify is easy, and I will tell you how here.
We can access vast music catalogs and create customized playlists from t ..read more

When I was in my early thirties, I had my first experience with a herniated disc.
I was doing taekwondo, kickboxing, and running a lot. I am pretty sure that the kickboxing and combo of these contributed.
A herniated disc can sometimes be called a bulging disc but they mean the same thing.
In case you are not familiar with this horrible, usually lower back pain, a herniated disc is when there is a problem with the rubbery cushions (disks) that sit between the bones that make up your spine.
A spinal disk has a soft center encased in a tougher, rubbery exterior. A herniated disk occurs when some ..read more
