ABC Tracing with Kids Academy!
I truly can’t say it enough, Kids Academy ROCKS!!! The learning apps are phenomenal! Alice is 2 years old and actually writing letters! AND having FUN!!
Alice encouraged and praised with each screen. If she doesn’t trace inside the letter a very positive voice comes on and says it’s okay, lets try again. Alice loves this app! Choose between uppercase and lowercase letters, with the ability to write left handed or right handed.
Male or female voice. Instructions are clear and easy for Alice to follow. First Alice traces the letter following the lines and arrows. Next write the letter without the lines and arrows, just staying within the outline.
It doesn’t mean anything to Alice right now, but eventually she will be thrilled that she can get extra stars for staying in the lines.
-3 stars – for successful task accomplishment at first or second attempt
-2 stars – if they had 3 or 4 goes at tracing and writing
-1 star – if they had more than 5 tries
The graphics are fun, bright and colorful. The voices are encouraging and patient.
The paid app gets you the full alphabet, progress chart for parents and extra profiles.

I’m Refreshing My Blog (and Bust Ghosts)
Updating old content is a bit like digital archaeology: you head in to dust the archives and end up unearthing questionable life choices from 2016. Between the over-filtered photos and advice that’s aged like room-temperature milk, the past can be… loud.
Lately, I’ve been dealing with a resident spirit: The Ghost of Peanut Butter and Whine. This digital poltergeist has been busy:
- The Vanishing Act: Deleting images and leaving empty boxes where tutorials used to be.
- The Link Graveyard: Swapping brand partners for sketchy “AI Crypto” links.
- Font Sabotage: Reverting modern text to “Geocities-era” antique fonts.
How to Refresh Your Blog (and Bust Ghosts)
I’m giving my archives a facelift to keep my blog traffic climbing. Here’s the plan:
- Exorcise 404s: Use a plugin to find and fix dead links.
- Update the “Now”: Swap 2019 recommendations for 2026 essentials.
- Spruce up Metadata: Ensure the focus keyword (blog) is in headers and the first paragraph for maximum SEO impact.
Stick Around!
Don’t let this be a “one and done” visit. While I’m cleaning house, check out these (very much alive) links:
Earn Cash: Some things never go out of style. Rakuten still pays you to shop, and in this economy, why wouldn’t you take the free money?
Win: Check out the sidebar for my current giveaway—I promise this one is actually alive and kicking!
