Medical Miracle



Two young girls in Australia were recently rescued from an orphanage. These girls, however, were special: they were twin girls conjoined at the head. After a landmark surgery, one of two twins remained in a coma. The two-year-old has since woken up and blew a "raspberry" at her guardian. Read the amazing story here:

You Tell Him, Taylor!!



Taylor Swift was the guest host / musical artist for Saturday Night Live last night. Her skits were quite funny but the highlight had to be her opening (musical) monologue. Great to see she has a sense of humor about the whole Kanye debacle!

Watch her opening monologue here... and other SNL videos too:

Who Doesn't Love Intelligent Puppets?



Happy 40th Anniversary Sesame Street!!

I must say, growing up with Sesame Street was a treat. The letter "B" was so much more intriguing when Big Bird taught 4-year-old me about it :)

Watch some of the best clips from our favorite puppets here:
