Logitech has a solution for iPhone users who want to quickly capture...

Help all kids reach their full potential with Reading BrightStart!

I love to read, and when Alfie and I decided to have kids, I knew that reading would play a big part in our family's life.  We began reading to our kids when they were very young, before they even knew what they were looking at.  We got them into the habit of sitting and listening and looking.  It took longer for the boys to get...

Play Hard, Play Safe: Tips to help kids avoid accidents on the field

Soccer is a contact sport. It's fast and hard, and the action never stops. It's no wonder we see soccer injuries at almost every game!  On TV, I've seen horrific injuries: torn hamstrings, twisted ankles, concussions, broken limbs. I've seen a guy knocked unconscious in mid air and another guy's leg snap in two. Thank goodness my sons have...

The Piano Guys releases their 4th album, Wonders

I've always regretted quitting piano lessons when I was younger, but at the time, I was fed up. I hated practicing because I wasn't inspired to play any of the pieces I was learning.
