    woo-hoo! Melissa, I want to hug you! I’ve wanted to do a post like this for weeks now but am just too bombarded with other things to really do the research.

    How would you feel about a re-post of sorts over at teachmama.com? I’m thinking in the next week or so. . . let me know. I’d be so, so, so happy if you’d be a guest writer. Your site totally rocks, and I’m sure my readers would want to marry you the minute they saw your schtuff.

    Thanks for this!! I have a 9 year old that I have trouble finding good games on line for! Most places cut off just below his age.
