What I REALLY Want For Mother’s Day

Mother's Day is this coming Sunday and I'm sure you've seen all kinds of posts about what moms want for their special holiday. I made a funny infographic about the perfect Mother's day gift, and was quoted on Royal Caribbean's press site saying I wouldn't mind a family photo session.

She is, for the most part, a well behaved child, gets near perfect grades in school, and she has proven responsible with the other tablets and computers we have throughout the house. However, is she really old enough to have such a small, portable device of her very own? Is she going to continue to be responsible once this device leaves the house with her? So far, the rule is that she can only bring it out of the house when she goes somewhere with us. I realize that this will probably quickly change … [Read more...]
