November 21st, 2015
I've long been a fan of Gloria Estefan, for her music, strength and driving spirit. All of that is well-depicted in the high-energy, funny, heartfelt, and feel good Broadway musical ON YOUR FEET! at the Marquis Theatre.

These are the wars that moms wage by Pamela Francis
November 11th, 2015
No, "hell" and "damn" are not okay; not for a kid your age. Youtube has got you expressing that way. These are the wars that moms wage. Hitting your brother is never okay.
