Own Domain



I took a big step today and purchased the domain for www.especiallyben.com. I was playing around with settings and such and saw that my own domain could be purchased if the name was not being used. I thought I would at least see if it was available...and then see if the price was within my non-existent blog budget.

Alas, www.especiallyben.com was available and it was $10 for the year to purchase - definitely within my budget. So it became a done deal within minutes.

Nothing should change - if you receive this by email, your subscription should be just fine. The old address will direct you to this new one.

Perhaps my head will get bigger, you know, owning my own domain and all. I will try to keep it in perspective...tomorrow.

Today I will bask in the glory that I own a part (albeit a very small part) of the world wide web.

Tomorrow, I will be annoyed that had I not used Google as a middle-man, I could have paid $7.49 directly to GoDaddy.com!

ABC's of ABA

A few weeks ago I attended a workshop presented by a behavior therapist. As it turned out, I went to a conference on the same topic over a year ago. I will describe what I have taken away from these methods in my own words - but please take a look at the links I have provided below. After I learned about this, life with children made a lot more sense to me. Not that this is earth shattering material, but it helped me to better understand the hows, whats and whys of behavior in children, and occasionally husbands. I am in no way an expert in this - just a parent who wants to share a behavior strategy that has worked in our home. I hope to inspire others to explore it further.  Any errors in information comes from me and cannot be blamed on the presenters. Also, you may have seen ABA - Applied Behavior Analysis - connected most often with Autism - please do not let this deter you if your child is not autistic. I use these methods with all my children, none of which are labeled au
