Use of screen media per day is up 17 percent for teens (ages 13-18) and tweens (ages 8-12) from the start of the pandemic, according to Common Sense Media. And that doesn’t take into account time spent attending school virtually and doing homework.

How was your Easter? I keep reminding my family that it’s still the Easter season, but I think sometimes it’s hard to sustain the joy for the whole 50 days! Still, it’s not hard to keep the poetic juices flowing for National Poetry Month, since that’s only 30. So, here we go! ~1~ Some artists […]
