Unfortunately with GFC, there is no way to use that on Word Press, but you can still follow me through email subscriptions. You may need to subscribe again to make sure it's … [Read more...]

Preparing for Our School Project ~ #GELighting #cbias {Video}

What's Your Lighting Style?~ We Researched That Question and More ~As you might remember in our first post, the kids and I completed a GE lighting project to compare light bulbs.
