I like to think I am something of a pizza aficionado and my ultimate homemade pizza sauce recipe has been perfected for over 29 years and is family approved. Pizza was one of the first meals I made for my then-future husband when we were dating and since then I have made pizza from scratch pretty much every week. Every Saturday night is pizza night here in the madhouse and is something that I have become renowned for. Both my sons and their friends prefer my homemade pizza to takeaway, which I think speaks volumes. Over the years I have shared with you my pizza dough recipes but I have realised that I have never shared my homemade pizza sauce...
Geometry Spot is a simple-looking website that, on the surface, is exactly what it advertises: a place to learn more about a form of mathematics that haunts many high school students. “Why are compasses needed in geometry?” reads one article. “What is plane geometry?” reads another. But on the fringes of the website, tucked away in the upper right corner, is a link marked “activities.” Clicking on activities reveals Geometry Spot’s secret underbelly: it’s a website where kids can play a mixture of legal and legally dubious video games at school.

Think of chocolate chip cookies, your favorite magazine subscription, lavender soap bars, super soft toilet paper, and even something random like paper clips. The idea that these things may come to you freely and openly for the rest of your existence is beyond exciting. So in order to find out exactly what it feels like to win a lifetime supply of something, we looked at this recent Ask Reddit thread. People are not only sharing the supply they won, but also revealing how long it actually lasted, so we may put an end to the never-ending...

Each of these words (hurricane, cyclone, and typhoon) is used to describe a powerful, tropical storm. If you live in a hurricane-prone area or have lived through a hurricane, like we have located in NC, you already know how powerful hurricanes are and the extent of damage and destruction they cause. I compiled this hurricane information and hurricane lesson as a way to help our kids understand what they were, especially since we have experience quite a few. Table of Contents What is a Hurricane?

The 1990s: the decade when teal squiggles and purple triangles reigned supreme. Or at least, that's what our collective memory has assigned to the period's romanticized style guide.The '90s were formative for the medium of animation. On the silver screen, Disney animated musicals dominated the box office and awards seasons, while studios like Pixar and DreamWorks debuted their first feature films. On the small screen, the animation revolution continued in what we can now look back on as a unique convergence of passing generations. The Disney Afternoon programming block crested the wave of its success, oodles of beloved Nicktoons busted onto the scene, Cartoon Network launched, and some of today's longest-running animated series populated airwaves for the very first time.Attempting...
