<p><span><span>My girls and I were so bummed that our tweets were not showing up for our very first participation in a <a href="http://momitforward.com/category/gno">Girls Night Out  (twitter hashtag #gno) with dear mommy blogger Jyl at MomItForward.com</a> this past Tuesday because the <a href="http://momitforward.com/help-your-kids-learn-love-science-technology-engineering-and-math">topic was dear to our hearts: Science, Technology, Engineering &amp; Math (STEM).</a> </span></span></p>
<p><span><span>We had some short tips ready to share with the mommies, and we tried our best to keep up with the questions only to find that no one can see us <img src='http://americanmuslimmom.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':-(' class='wp-smiley' />  So, mid-way through we dropped out of the party <img src='http://americanmuslimmom.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':-(' class='wp-smiley' />  </span></span></p>
<p><span><span>But, I couldn&#8217;t let our humble tips go unnoticed, so I shared some of our tweets below. [At the time of posting this, we just noticed that<a href="http://momitforward.com/how-can-you-help-your-kids-learn-love-science-technology-engineering-and-math"> Jyl had the awesome idea of sharing wonderful tips shared from that night in this comprehensive post here.]</a></span></span></p>
