For just $9.99 per month, you can log onto TJEd.com and click the "This Week in History" link to obtain many, many, many resources tied to specific events that occurred in the upcoming week in history.

I ran across your blog on 'Or So She Says' and felt that you were writing about my experience with my 13 year old son.
