With the new Twilight movie coming out soon, I figured this is the perfect time to discuss this. Now, if you have ever read Breaking Dawn, you know that some parts are very scandalous and very adult. I was very worried that it would be rated R if they decided to leave in certain parts, but luckily they decided not to film certain areas of the book, so it is rated PG-13.
I have watched quite a few R rated movies, like just last week I watched Horrible Bosses (if you are curious I thought it was hilarious). The R

Nintendo 3DS has been out on the market since March. It certainly has garnered a lot of attention for its ability to produce a 3D effect. The questions are whether it is worth the $250.00 price tag and if it is still better to just to get the Nintendo DS without the 3D.
If you see a Nintendo 3DS, you will likely confuse it for a regular Nintendo DS. It has the same basic style with some very minor changes. The biggest difference you will find is the slider bar used to adjust the 3D vision effects of the screen.

Summertime…so much to see, and so much to do. How can a family make sure they can cram as much fun as possible into this short season? Create a summer fun list! In my house, the list adorns the refrigerator door, a place of honor for all to see. That way, our family won’t forget the simple (and some lofty) goals we set for ourselves once the last school bell rings.
How does a summer fun list work? It’s easy. Whatever the make-up of your family - kids, mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, aunt, or uncle – each person has a

Do your elementary school kids know what’s going on in the world? With a 24-hour news cycle and ubiquitous scrolling news bars, it is getting harder and harder to decide what to shield them from and how to do it.
Do your children know about the death of Osama Bin Laden? Can they know about his death without first knowing about his life and the evil he wrought? Have they seen the pictures of the devastation from tornados, floods, and earthquakes in recent months?

Parties: From the Teen’s View
June 3rd, 2011 Posted by Jacob P. | Adolescence, Behavior, Eating, Entertainment, Helpful hints, Teen Perspective, Teens
Stereotypes tend to be stereotypes because they are at least somewhat true. For example, teenagers like to party. And I would guess greater than 90% of teens like to party. I can tell you I do. There are few things more fun than hanging out with several or tons of your friends. So, when your teen wants to have a party, keep a few things in mind.
