http://www.barbarafeldman.com/ I am a syndicated newspaper columnist, online publisher, author, mother, wife and Net surfer supreme (not listed in order of importance, of course). My weekly newspaper column "Surfing the Net with Kids" is syndicated by United Feature Syndicate. My website gets nearly a million visitors a month, my newsletter list is over 80,000 strong, and my self-published e-books are sold on dozens of sites. Because I am often asked for advice and recommendations that don't have anything to do with "Surfing the Net with Kids" per se, but rather are about my experiences in running that business, I've created this site as a compendium of resources and recommendations. en-us 2008-05-02T17:21:48-08:00 http://www.barbarafeldman.com/is_it_all_about_how_you_feel_at_the_end_of_the_day.html My buddy Don Crowther made an awesome video, about something inspirational that took place on a college softball field in Portland, Oregon recently.
