When I was contacted about a new social sharing site called 3rd Revolution, I was eager to give it a try. It’s a bit of a combination between Facebook and Pinterest…you can share updates that others can comment on, as well as share (and browse) projects that you (and others) have created.

I checked on my friend, the mama who had just dropped her daughter off for her first weekend away. “She’s so strong,” she said, “so determined. I’m having a hard time already.” “You’re brave,” I told her. “That’s where she gets it, from her mama.” “Not me,” was her response. “I don’t feel brave.” Maybe …
