First of all, it's pronounced "pa hase." Circus Pages is a traveling show that originated in Cuba in the 1960's, and now is based in Florida and they tour the US.
They are a smart act in many ways. They have a good financial plan, and will play small venues. I took my kids to see them twice in mo... continue reading...

Today's FamilyFirst site is one that has been covered in the past, but it has had such a makeover that it deserves a second look.
Early in the game, Yahoo! Figured out that kids need their own home page, and anything that is linked there would need to pass some pretty stringent standards as far as ... continue reading...

The account of Noah and his ark is one that transcends culture itself. Most ancient societies have legends about an earthwide flood being survived by a small number of humans and animals in a vessel. Makes you think, doesn't it?
Today's FamilyFirst site is a tribute to Noah and the animals he carri... continue reading...

I don't know what the weather is like where you are, but where I am writing this, it is the warmest it has been for the entire year. Just a few short weeks ago, there was a nation-wide heat wave that had high temp records falling all over the place. With these hot thoughts on our mind... continue reading...

You have seen them in action. They are usually where a person who is visually impaired is. The seeing eye dog is an animal that is specially selected for the live-giving tasks of helping them move around in a manner that you and I take for granted.

One of the benchmarks I have used when looking for sites for the Family First Site of the Day is the edutainment factor that it has. That means sites that are both entertaining as well as educational. It is easy for site to be fun to visit and play at, but visitors don't learn much. It is als... continue reading...
