Mother Who Lost Six Children In Baltimore Fire Speaks Out

Tragedy struck a Baltimore family last week.  A house fire claimed six of Kate Malone’s nine children last Thursday.

Kate and her surviving children were hospitalized.  She was in critical condition, now officials say she is listed in good condition.

The fire happened while Kate’s husband was at work.  Her eight-year-old daughter managed to lead her mother and two of her siblings to safety, but the other six children died.

Kate thanked people for their support in a Facebook post and suggested honoring her children in different ways.  For 11- year-old Bridgette, make art.   Speak out against injustice for 10-year-old Amelia. For 3-year-old twins, Amanda and Zoe, solve a problem. Be helpful for 2-year-old Billy, and smile and laugh for 9-month old Daniel.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Kate is a staff member for House Rep. Elijah Cummings.

Spelling Correctly – Does It Matter Any More?

When I was growing up, it was imperative that every word was spelled correctly in any paper or letter you wrote.  I didn’t have ‘spell check’ on my typewriter, I used the dictionary.

Things are different now.  Kids don’t use a dictionary, they rely on their electrical devices to correct their spelling mistakes.  Or in some cases, they spell words in new and creative ways.

Recently a twitter exchange between a Frederick County Public School student and a school employee went viral – over a misspelled word.

So I did some research, and found some of the ‘best’ misspelled words on social media. They are actually very funny, so maybe I should be thanking them for a good laugh!  Or maybe thanking them for ‘righting’ so well!

How Are Your New Years Resolutions Going?

At the beginning of the New Year, many of us made resolutions that we intended to keep for all of 2017!

Resolutions of getting in shape, earning more money, spending more time with family, getting more sleep, and to stop procrastinating.

Have you been able to keep yours?  If not – today is a pinnacle for anyone tettering on their resolution.  It’s National ‘Ditch New Years Resolutions Day’!

If you have been able to keep your pledges for better health and wealth in the new year, good job! If not, today you can give up on your resolution guilt free and join others doing the same!
