House Rules for Digital Kids - 7.5 Hours A Day?!
So what are your rules?  In our house, our kids have time sheets and they must log their etime.  If the time isn't on the log, then etime is over. 

I found a great list of rules and guidelines at Sylvan Learning.  7 simple rules but a great opening for discussing our kids' digital lifestyle.  Share your rules and we will compile a list for publishing.

Another nugget of information from the Sylvan page.... "According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, Americans between the age of 8 and 18 spend on average 7.5 hours a day using some sort of electronic device, from smart phones to MP3 players to computers."

Adopt A Rose - Support A Local Non-Profit
Support a local non-profit and give a fantastic Valentine's Day present at the same time!  With the Guadalupe River Park's Adopt A Rose program your rose will be marked in the garden with an engraved plaque with your own personal inscription for one full year. GRPG can also search their database of roses to see if your Valentine's name matches one of their 3,600 historic roses. 

To present your gift you will receive a beautiful Valentine's box that includes a small box of decadent chocolates from Schurra's Candy Factory, a large gourmet cookie from Café Too! at the San Jose Museum of Art, and a free red rose from Citti's Florist each month for a year. The package also includes an announcement card that informs the recipient about the rose adoption, location, variety name and inscription.
