Let’s Make a Web Page!

Well, if you are anything like me that is a scary thought! I am new to the blogging world, so the thought of making my own web page is both exhilarating and frightening.

“In ‘Let’s Make a Webpage,’ by Phyllis Wheeler, they are aiming to instruct an 8-12 year old. I have to admit, I was very skeptical. I mean, if I cannot figure it out, will our children?

“Guess what? The answer is yes. With very little parental involvement (my husband) my children were able to create their own webpage! I couldn’t believe it.

On the first day of our school, we have ice cream sundaes for breakfast.  That’s right, ice cream for breakfast.  The first time I served my kids ice cream, they were shocked. Then, it became a tradition.
