It's late October which means the World Series is almost over and therefore the baseball season is nearly complete. So this is a good time to share more of the photos that were taken at this years' Hall of Fame Weekend in Cooperstown, New York. One of the events we covered was the Hall of Fame Parade of Heroes.

I was going to put in the Pumpkin Yeast Bread that I made, but I wasn't overly impressed with it. The recipe calls for a cup and half of pumpkin but the pumpkin taste doesn't really come throughw.

1. Use tech to manage tech. There is actually an app called SelfControl that is helpful for staying on task as it completely blocks any site teens want (i.e. Facebook) for an allotted time they set. This is quite helpful for reducing temptation. 2. Unfollow things that are a time sink for them. They’ll stop following “satisfying videos” sites also known as “oddly satisfying videos.” Soap cutting, baking, playing with slime, eggshell crushing, paint mixing, etc. fall into this category....
