I have been trying to find the perfect silver shoes for Sophia to wear this Saturday for my cousin’s wedding but I couldn’t get to see one I like.  Most shoes in silver that would perfectly match with her flowergirl gown usually don’t have her size.  They are mostly for one to two year olds. How sad is that?  The silver shoes available in her size are all ballet shoes which I am veering away from as much as possible. I wanted to get her nice silver “dressy” shoes, if there is ever such a term.  Oh, just three days to go and she is still shoeless!

I hope tomorrow proves to be a lucky day. We’ll troop to all other malls near our area and I hope to be lucky and find her the perfect pair!

My mom wants to learn a thing or two about computers – the basics, actually. She has been wanting to do so for some time now but is too busy to take up classes. She is 49 years old by the way and has never in her lifetime touched any computer. It is never too late to learn anything though, right? As long as one is determined to, it is possible.

A friend told me about Tech Tutor Video which offers introduction to computers and the internet featuring Windows Vista. They provide videos with simple introduction to computer basics, the Internet, and email. Tech Tutor Video was the brainchild of Seattle natives, Brett and Megan Stewart. Their approach to teaching computer basics is fun and informal, that can be watched in the comfort of your own home. When you see some of their lesson samples, you’ll find out how they teach through discussion and demonstration that are proven to be more effective, rather than classroom format lectures. Simple instructions and explanations while watching the steps performed on the computer are what every beginner needs when learning the basics of computer I think so I bet this is what my mom needs. With her age and no prior computer experience, she needs simple, basic and easy to understand instructions to make learning the technology easy for her and Tech Tutor Video is good at this as they use everyday language and provides visual examples all the time.
