Make Your Baby Smarter By Teaching Them To Sign
Sign language can be a lifesaver for people who have hearing difficulties, have loved ones who do, and people who socially or professionally interact with people who do.

The Mind-Blowing Truth Behind Texas’ Size
Everything is bigger in Texas, as the saying goes–including Texas itself. It’s a huge state full of empty rural plains and vast cities (with roads are so wide that they’re dangerous for pedestrians.)
