If you are handy with web design you can do a personalized holiday page for her and change her browser home page when she isn’t looking. I’ve done that one several times.

Also, if she uses Thunderbird for email you can change the ‘start page’ that shows in the read pane when the software is first opened. If you point the start page setting to a file on a shared drive somewhere, you can change her start page at will without needing access to her computer.

Kristin – I haven’t tried a balance ball, but one of the WWD writers highly recommended one, especially for those suffering from back pain. Guess I better try one out.

I think many mothers appreciate getting ‘the gift of time’.

Take care

I started using one a couple of weeks ago, and my back and neck pain are gone. And it was only $20! You won’t find an office chair cheaper than that. I’m 5’3″ and have a 55 cm ball. Love it!!!
