Tweens are very vocal in what they want and what they like (if you have one you know!) And Gen-X parents are spending on tweens — just not with the same frivolity that was seen in years past. Parents spend on their kids before they spend on themselves. With that said, remember the “tween” market [...]
Summer is here! Children everywhere are ready to tackle the nearest playground or swimming pool. Another school year completed. I remember that feeling of accomplishment and pride and couldn’t wait for summer to arrive so I could boast my “new” grade designation. I would like to introduce you to a special group of children that [...]
What is your “style” personality? Everyone has one. Thankfully, many tend to evolve and change as the years go by. You may have moved on from “Early Elvis Velvet,” to a more demure approach…or not. We are not here to judge either way. If you love it and it makes you happy, go for it! [...]

This year has been um… interesting? It has been a bounty of twists and turns, free falls and happy surprises. I have embraced it as a cosmic recipe for appreciating this life that we all get a chance to test drive. One of the greatest gifts we all can value is our health, although most [...]
Art Changes Lives. You can read this statement on the THEA Foundation’s home page. It’s not just a platitude. It’s a dynamic reality. From the heartfelt letter of a father describing the burgeoning changes he witnessed in his daughter after discovering her hidden talents, along with student art competitions and scholarship awards, THEA is making a [...]
What a week it’s been! Between the presidential debates, the growing problems in Afghanistan and the Wall Street fiasco, we haven’t been getting too much good news as of late.
