The Best Hoverboard Fails of 2015

My 10 year old daughter, and I think every kid in america, wants a hoverboard (some call it a segway which is far from the truth) for the holidays. Technically these are called "balance boards" and range in price from $250 to $2000. As I was doing my research on the internet to potentially buy one for my kids, I came across these videos which along with alot of laugher, also enlightened me to the unavoidable events that these hoverboards would cause in my household.

As you gather for the holidays, someone's likely to get one of these - and all age groups are going to get a shot at trying to master the hoverboard. Here are my predictions:

The drunk uncle who's always the life of the party takes his shot...

This young mom wants to show the kids how it's done...

The Star Wars dad getting ready for the movie premiere...

The coworker who wants to show off the new toy her boyfriend got her...

And last but not least...

The authority figure (former bull rider) who splurges for the real segway...

With all the fails though, once you master the craft - there's some pretty cool stuff you can do with these things - and wouldn't be surprised we see this group below on america's got talent some time in the near future.

Happy Hoverboard Holidays to you all - be safe and have fun!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
