Hello smarty pants and welcome to trusty trivia Thursday.
Today. We're a floating into the spooky and mysterious world of ghosts.
But before things get too eerie, I want to give a big shout out to Carter in Adelaide, South Australia.
Someone told me that you love learning important things about science and history, and that you're a big fan of the trustee narrator's jokes.
Well, that makes this trusty narrator feel pretty good.
Thanks for listening mate.
Now let's lift the veil and get into some ghostly trivia!
Question 1, what is a common tool used by ghost hunters?
Is it an A, an EMF detector?
B, a ghost vacuum? Or C, a salt shaker?
Did you go with A? Woo -tiful!
EMF detectors measure electromagnetic fields, which some believe ghosts can cause disturbances in.
Question two. Which famous US building is believed to be haunted?
Is it A, the Pentagon, B, the White House, or C, the Statue of Liberty?
Did you choose B? You are fright on.
People say Abraham Lincoln's ghost has been spotted roaming the White House halls.
Final question! Where does the word ghost come from?
Is it A, old Norse?
B, German? Or C, old English?
Did you say C? Spooktacular!
The word ghost comes from the old English, gahst, meaning spirit, or soul.

Hey parents. Trusty here with something really smart for your smarty pants.
I've got nieces, nephews and close family friends, some homeschooled, some traditional school.
And lately there's one tool they all seem to be using.
iXL. One of my nephews was really struggling with reading comprehension.
His parents tried iXL and within a couple of weeks, he was not only keeping up, he was excited to read.
Then my niece, who's super into math, started exploring topics way beyond her grade level.
That's the beauty of iXcel, it's flexible.
Kids can move at their own pace in any subject across any grade.
A friend's daughter loves the instant feedback and little rewards.
It's fun, not stressful.
And the parents, they love how easy it is to find the exact topic they're covering that week.
iXcel is organized, saves them time, and actually helps the kids feel more confident.
If you're homeschooling or just want to supplement what your child is learning in traditional school, IXL is a game changer.

So I'll be honest. I put off building our new website for way too long.
I think part of me was waiting for the perfect moment or thought I needed to hire someone or take a design course or something, total nonsense, because then I tried Squarespace.
And yeah, I was hooked in an hour.
Squarespace is this all -in -one platform that makes it ridiculously easy to bring an idea to life online whether you're starting a business, launching a project, or just wanna finally claim your little corner of the internet.
I used it to build a clean professional site in a weekend, no coding, no overwhelm, just drag drop done.
I use their blueprint AI tool to start and it generated a smart customized layout just from a few questions about what we do.
So if you've been waiting to launch your site, this is your sign.

Hey, parents, trusty here.
If raising kids came with a map, this podcast would be the compass.
I'm talking about Raising Boys and Girls, a podcast that is hosted by three brilliant, big -hearted counselors, Sissy, David, and Melissa, who have spent decades helping families navigate the wild, wonderful world of childhood, adolescence, and feelings.
So many feelings. Each episode, they bring stories, tools, and real world insights from their day -to -day work with kids and parents in Nashville.
Their goal is to help you show up with a little more confidence, a little more calm, and a whole lot more hope.
This summer, they're relaunching in their beloved Music City series, featuring incredible guests, like Charles Kelly of Lady A, and actual Arielle herself, Jodie Benson.
You'll laugh, maybe cry, definitely sing along, and leave with wisdom that you can actually use in your parenting life.
I don't know about you, but when someone says, helpful research -based insight, my parent brain lights up.
