by Carmen Ferreiro-EstebanAfter a four months break, Glee has returned.Glee (www.fox.com/glee/), a musical comedy-drama television series, bubbly and sweet like a glass of champagne, follows a bunch of misfits that have joined the Glee Club, as they sing and dance and dodge the slurries the popular bullies throw at them on the halls.But although, the musical numbers are great, what makes the show such a pleasure to watch, for me, are the characters.We [...]

(And occasionally, a headache!)By: Mary Fran BontempoBy the time I left, I was exhausted.Last Saturday found me at a blogger's seminar sponsored by the lovely ladies from MomSpace, a great site covering many things "Mom." The site slants towards mothers with young children, and that particular demographic was well represented at the seminar.Which for me, I suppose, was the issue.My kids are grown, at least [...]
