Sunday Reading

Kids see porn on the internet; either intentionally or not.
Hearst is closing down Cosmo Girl after the December 2008 issue. But don’t worry, CosmoGirl.com will continue.

Spider Cupcakes for Halloween

If you have tweens in your household, I think that these cupcakes would go over really well. For that matter, I can’t see a teen turning their noses up at these cupcakes either. And even better, you can pretty much wing it, just by looking at the photo, but if you want more instructions, Kraft […]
