This one is gonna be short and sweet because I am both speechless and exhausted at the same time. Long story short, I took my four year old to her first ballet class today. I think we were both equally excited and my heart just melted at the sight of my four year old little ballerina. It seems she was just learning to walk…..why have I not cherished each moment more? Aggggh… another time, another post. Forgive me I’m tired and my brain is close to mush.

Anyhow I was a bit disappointed because there was a class full of young little girls with four instructors and you would think they’d start from the top and show them the five basic positions of ballet. I know, I know, I’m being that ridiculous whining mother. But I quickly caught myself with those negative thoughts and reminded myself, this is the summer program, these little girls are not all beginners like my own, and they are just trying to make this fun for them. Most importantly, I am her mother and technology today provides me with no excuse not to teach her the basics myself. After all, she will grow out of these ballet shoes in no time and may no longer want to have anything at all with being my little ballerina princess. So believe you me, this memory is mine. So on to my favorite one stop learning shop. You know, the internet will NEVER cease to amaze me. There really is no reason for anyone to leave their home, because everything we need consists of  small metals boxes. These days you can have a bride practically delivered to your door.Yes, yes, off the subject….

So with my trusty search engine I was guided to a site, that literally made me say out loud, “No way!!!! That is cool” (PG version of what actually came out of my mouth). I am, really I am trying to clean up my potty mouth.

I stumbled a top notch site called monkeysee.com.

Basically I think it’s a step up from youtube because it’s a bit more professionally done. And by that I mean, the people who are posting videos are for the most part, actually experts in their field, not just pretending to be. You can learn how to do just to do about anything in any field of interest. Anything like teaching your four year old daughter the five basic positions of ballet or keeping your kids safe during fireworks season, or how to change a tire. So your probably thinking, “this chic is a joke, you can see all of that on youtube”.

Yes, I know you can but this site and it’s instructional videos are definitely not box office hits but it’s a far cry from the average youtube homemade webcam video. I promise, check it out and you’ll find everything neatly organized and layed out. Seems like an excellent time saver to me rather than spending countless hours searching through various youtube clips containing annoying background music and graphics. Although I must admit, there is one drawback, you have to watch a commercial before each clip actually starts.
