Over that past 10 years or so that I have been involved in finding sites that are family oriented, and safe for viewing by children, I have found a great variety.

"Look, up in the sky. It's a bird... it's a plane... no, it's Superman".
So went one of the most memorable openings in the golden age of radio, the show being the Adventures of Superman. Starting as a comic book hero in 1939, the man of steel has transcended all forms of entert... continue reading...

I have always been interested in history, and the people that played pivotal roles in the events of history. That was one reason I guess why I became interested in stamp collecting. Those tiny pieces of paper that made sure our letters got from point A to point B always had a bit of history o... continue reading...

When I was growing up, one of my memories is the country and western music that my father used to listen to. It was Hank Williams, Ernest Tubb, Roy Acuff, and more. If they were on the Grand Ole Opry, he liked to listen to them. We couldn't get that program where we li... continue reading...

Several years ago, our youngest daughter has asked if she could learn to play the saxophone. When my wife and I asked why this sudden desire to learn to play a musical instrument.

My son has been enthused about dinosaurs for several years. I am not sure why, but there seems to be some sort of attraction between these extinct creatures and children.

Today's Family First Site looks at a site that celebrates one of the best (and earliest)... continue reading...
