Jesse James. The name alone conjures up thoughts of rebellion, and the modern version of this infamous outlaw lived up to the moniker's heartless reputation.
Few questioned the bad boy selection by movie darling Sandra Bullock. James' rough exterior probably made us feel bad about judging a book by its cover- who are we to evaluate his character anyway?

I Wasn’t Smarter Than a Five Year Old – Part 2
March 23, 2010 By 7 Comments
This is Part 2 of a multi-part post. You might want to read Part 1 so you are fully in tune with this difficult situation. I'm sharing our story hoping you might benefit from this, and know you are not alone raising a difficult child.
The amount of resentment I had stored up against my husband was getting the best of me, and was probably the main motivation behind my effort to find guidance to deal with our willful child. I didn't have access to the Internet back in 1997-98, and still relied on word-of-mouth recommendations, wives-tales and the library (remember those?) to get a handle on our child's “misbehavior”. Needless to say, most of the advise I got was related to spoiling her; don't let her get away with it, put her in a time out, etc.

This is Part I of a multi-part post.
Before blogs were commonplace or even the Internet, I was the mother with 'that child'. Yes, the one with the child screaming at the top of her lungs while shopping at Target; the one you looked at in horror when the kid flailed on the ground because she demanded to have every last sweet at the check-out stand. Boy, I wish blogs had existed back in my early parenting days – then I would have known I wasn't the only one who'd spawned a difficult child.

It's coming!
Faster than a speeding HDTV bullet!
In fact, faster than you can say, 3D TV, three times fast!
Family home entertainment is about to get better with the fast-approaching launch of the Sony LCD 3D-Ready Television. Though not the first 3D television on the market, it is highly anticipated to be the best in this category. The new normal-looking Sony LCD television set will have 3D-ready capability to play 3D Blue-ray discs with the ease of a command.
Oscars 2010: 'Be Creative, It's Not A Waste of Time'
March 8, 2010 By 8 Comments
Overall, the 2010 Academy Awards were entertaining, a bit long (but not the longest on Oscar record at 4 hours plus), but still worthy of the show’s reputation as Hollywood’s Biggest Night. The sets, the presenters and summaries were well done, but our sectional wasn't long enough to contain our fidgeting bodies while sitting through the long, and sometimes, dull broadcast.
