My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks Coming to Theaters this Weekend
My husband is probably not going to be too happy that I am sharing this with you all… but he and my daughter watch My Little Pony just about every other night. It is so funny watching them and hear them conversing about the show, the characters and the powers each little pony has. He could easily cite all of their names AND what their special powers are.

Culture :: Selfies – Are They Really Such A Big Deal?
If your kids are on social media, then you’ve probably heard them mention the word ‘selfie’ a time or two. The trend of taking pictures of themselves and then uploading them onto social profiles seems harmless enough, but when you look a little deeper, it’s a trend that could be fostering some negative behavior. The infographic below, by TeenSafe.com, provides more insight into selfies – what they are, where they came from, and why they’re so popular. While the photos can be a light-hearted way to connect with peers online, they can also create a sense of narcissism and self-obsession. Even more frightening is the fact that 25% of all…
