iReward Chart—Parenting Tool of the Day

If you own an Android device and have kids, this app is worth its weight in gold. My wife has been using the iPhone version with our kids, it has yielded great results.  The idea: You work with your children to set tasks, behaviors, chores, etc. that they can work on. Using the app you keep track of their behavior, earning them stars. For instance each time your daughter exercises noticeable patience or puts her dinner plate in the sink after dinner, she earns a star. The result is a family economy, they can use their stars to get things they want: candy, time at the park, cruise to Alaska (takes a lot of stars :-) Amazon: FREE (today only), retail: $3.99 http://www.amazon.com/Got-Clues-iRewardChart/dp/B006CV3HLU?tag=dealswoot-20 iTunes: $3.99 http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/irewardchart-parents-reward/id341306389?mt=8

Tangled — I See The Light (Score and Chords)

One of my favorite memories from Christmas 2011 was singing, "I See The Light" from Tangled with my little niece, Sienna. I was moments away from leaving for the airport after two-fun-filled weeks together.  I had my ukulele in my carryon bag.  Since we had a few moments, I asked Sienna if she would sing Rapunzel's part for me while I played on the uke.  Her tiny, 7-year-old voice peeped with angelic innocence.  I chimed in during Flynn's part and the whole experience became transcendental. I thought about that today and decided I would find the sheet music online. I'm a 30-year-old man with a respectable emotional constitution. Therefore, I am not ashamed to admit that something about this song chokes me up.   Every…single…time.
