The trio has announced a Tampa stop on its summer tour – a first for the brothers in three years. That has us wondering: Are these guys are still “in” with your tweens and teens?
Back in 2010 there was no question that an announcement of a Jonas Brothers’ Tampa stop was a big deal. After all, Nick, Joe and Kevin were at the top of their game with hits like “Love Bug,” “Got Me Going Crazy” and “Hey Baby” “Burnin’ Up” the charts. They even broke hearts on their own television show and guest appearances on others. Tears flowed harder than the rain when flooding forced the brothers to cancel their Sept. 8, 2010, tour date at what was then known as the 1-800-ASK-GARY Amphitheatre in Tampa. Why would I know about or even remember that? No, I’m not a huge fan, but as it turns out my daughter was and she was there for her 11th birthday. To me, it seems like just yesterday that my sister-in-law called to say she had picked …

Columnist Lynn Nankervis discusses little things that disappear around the house when you're raising kids.
You know that missing sock theory? The one that states that somehow the combination of heat and rotation of the dryer drum creates a vortex that allows one-footed aliens from another galaxy to slip into our dimension, abduct single socks and return to their own world happily stocking'd. We've all experienced it, right? And I'll admit, I've had my share of unexplained missing socks so the alien conjecture does make a kind of warped sense. As frustrating as missing socks are, though, I have a more pressing concern. Writing instruments. Pens, pencils, markers, heck, even crayons. They all disappear. Whenever I need to jot down a note, add an item to a grocery list or sign a paper, I am unfortunately out of luck. Is there an alternate universe…

Overexposure to the latest singing sensation
My 14-year-old daughter, Emily, like most girls between the ages of 4 and 16, is head over heels for pop star, Justin Bieber. A true "belieber," as his fans are known, her room is practically a shrine, adorned with posters, magazine layouts and other ornamentation dedicated to the singing sensation. Last week Emily spent more than $30 of her allowance to attend the premiere of Bieber's new movie, "Never Say Never," at the AMC Regency 20 Theatre in Brandon. The premiere was released just two days before the national release of the movie, and she was willing to spend more than double the cost of a regular movie ticket just so she could have bragging rights that she, along with 100,000 other teenage girls across the country, saw the movie 48…
