MommyGoggles: Motherhood Made A Little Easier

Mommy Goggles is in some ways a one-stop shopping site for day-to-day things a new mom might want to spend her time doing. Filled with contests, a gift guide, fitness ideas, product reviews, and links to related sites. It's a cute little blog / directory that caught my attention. Hopefully you'll find some value in this proud parent's efforts to collect and share information.

Political Fact Check - Obama Addressing Students

Back in September 2009, there was a lot of fuss about a televised address President Obama was going to make to school children around the nation. Some critical sources said that this was the first time any US President had made such an address. To set the record straight, other presidents have also done this, with the acceptance of the citizenry for the most part. From PolitiFact.

A Young Boy's Groggy Post-Dentist Conversation

Judging from the 48 million view counts, you may have already watched the video affectionately entitled "David After Dentist". If not, here's your chance. It's a sweet and funny clip showing a conversation between a boy and his dad as they drive home from the dentist. David is obviously recovering from the anesthetic and behaves like an adult who is drunk. This, however, is David's first encounter with feelings of this type. His attempt to cope will no doubt bring a smile to your face.

Flat Stanley - Wikipedia Entry

In December of 2008, I was asked to take a paper cutout of a small hand-drawn character around Tampa and photograph it in various noteworthy places. The character's official name was "Flat Stanley" and was one of many created by a class of school children. Each individual character, once completed, was mailed to a family member or friend in a distant location. Upon finishing his "vacation", Stanley and accompanying documentation were mailed back to the student for an educational show and tell session.
