“A Place For Us”...it’s exactly that, my main goal is to create a safe, fun, full of heart place for Carson to interact with others to build social skills. A place for everyone to feel special & perfect, exactly the way they are! This has been many years in the planning, praying, and hoping stages. God has blessed us in the venture with every step along the way. My original plan was to have workshops and someday I still will but for now my plan had to be modified, so I made a beautiful, welcoming, comfortable store where you will find so many wonderful things that have truly been chosen with a lot of thought and a lot of love! PiddlePup Station -build a plush type stuffing station complete with sounds, take home boxes, backpacks, clothes, gender reveal options. We have a great selection of Melissa & Doug toys!

When a nineteen-year-old girl in 1952 asked her high school guidance counselor about enrolling in advanced mathematics classes, the counselor gave her a condescending smile. "Honey, nice girls go to finishing school," he told her. "Learn to pour tea."

Judith Love Cohen ignored him completely.

She enrolled in engineering, walking into lecture halls where she was routinely the only woman among hundreds of male students. Undeterred by classmates who scoffed when she raised her hand, she earned both her bachelor's and master's degrees from USC, eventually becoming part of the tiny 0.05% of female engineers in America.

In the 1960s, her talent landed her a spot on the NASA contractor team tasked with building the Abort Guidance System (AGS) for the Apollo Lunar Module.

The AGS was the ultimate fail-safe, the emergency backup computer designed to fly astronauts home if the primary system failed. As Judith bluntly put it: "It had to work, because if you needed it, you were already dying."

In August 1968, nine months pregnant and still working obsessively at her desk, Judith felt her contractions begin.

Instead of resting, she gathered her trajectory printouts, circuit diagrams, and logic sheets, brought them to the hospital, and continued writing equations on computer paper from her hospital bed between contractions.

Right there in the delivery room, the logic clicked.

She solved the final critical bug in the guidance system, set down her pencil, and gave birth to a baby boy named Thomas Jacob, whom the world would later know as actor Jack Black. The next day, she called her boss from her hospital room with a brief update: "I fixed the guidance problem. Oh, and the baby came too."

Twenty months later, on April 13, 1970, an oxygen tank exploded aboard Apollo 13, two hundred thousand miles from Earth.

With the primary Command Module dying, three astronauts took shelter inside the Lunar Module. When the main computer faltered, Judith’s Abort Guidance System booted up. It calculated the critical thruster burns, aligned the spacecraft, and kept the crew from drifting hopelessly into deep space.

When the astronauts splashed down safely on April 17, commander Jim Lovell later acknowledged that without the backup system, they wouldn't have made it home.

Judith went on to contribute to the Hubble Space Telescope, write books encouraging young girls to pursue STEM careers, and inspire generations of female scientists before passing away in 2016 at eighty-two.

🎉 Happy 68th Birthday, Shaun Cassidy! 🎂

Born September 27, 1958, in Los Angeles, Shaun Cassidy became one of the biggest teen idols of the late 1970s. With hits like “Da Doo Ron Ron,” “That’s Rock ’n’ Roll” and “Hey Deanie,” he was also a familiar face on television as Joe Hardy in The Hardy Boys Mysteries. 📺🎵

There’s a fun bit of Disney history behind that Hardy Boys role. Long before Shaun and Parker Stevenson brought Frank and Joe Hardy to television, Disney had featured the Hardy Boys in serials on The Mickey Mouse Club in the 1950s. 🕵️‍♂️✨

After stepping away from performing for decades and building a successful career as a television writer and producer, Shaun returned to the stage. His 2025 Road to Us tour took him to 57 cities, and he’s continuing to perform with his 2026 UNWRAPPED Holiday Tour later this year. 🎤

From teen idol to television producer and back on the road again, Shaun Cassidy has certainly given us plenty of memories.

🎂 Happy Birthday, Shaun! ❤️🎵

💬 Were you a Shaun Cassidy fan back in the day? Did you watch The Hardy Boys or have one of his records? 🤔
