Now that spring is here the campouts have begun.  I don’t know about you but for me when I think of campouts I think of marshmallows.  As I was toasting my marshmallow on Sunday, I started to think about how the marshmallow I was toasting is very similar to Social Media.  Hmmm….  So here goes. 1.  Some people love them and some people hate them.  Sound familiar.  As a Girl Scout leader for many years, I heard mix feelings about marshmallows.  For some it was more enticing with chocolate, for others they would just eat the chocolate.  Needless to say
