The Editor's Desk - From Beneath the Clutter

Did you know March is Dr. Seuss month? I think I'm going to try to have some fun with it on the site. I'm thinking about things families can do together, encouraging reading and just plain having fun. Dr. Seuss is my favorite children's author, and probably the favorite of quite a few of you too. I'm still planning and setting things up, but I'll be letting you know when I have things up and running. We'll just see what I can pull out of my (Cat in the) Hat. (read more)

The Editor's Desk - From Beneath the Clutter

Ok, folks, I'm working on accomplishing something related to the results from the first poll - adding more work at home jobs. I almost have a section for unreasearched job leads ready to go; should be up in the next day or two. I'm doing this blog style so that it will be easy to tell when the leads were posted and you'll be able to sign up for an RSS feed so you can easily keep track of when new leads are posted.

I'll be sending a special email to let you know, so those who are interested can start looking right away. (read more)

Post-It Style Parenting

I love 3M's Post-It Notes, and keep a stack of colorful pads always near at hand. They're good for flagging edits on a manuscript, for communicating with others in my home when we're busy living separately during the day, or for jotting down phone numbers, grocery lists, and sudden bursts of inspiration for story-writing. But the best use I ever found for them was when my son was in elementary school. I discovered they were great parenting tools. (read more)
