Did You Know About Baby Furniture from Emily Crib?

Did you know about baby furniture from Emily crib?

This weekend my dad just told me of a couple at church who will have a baby this summer. This couple dated many years before they got married. They have been married for some time now. They have regularly helped to take care of a young nephew of theirs. But she said imagining doing it every day is a different story!

Maybe she will look at some of the cribs from Emily crib. Baby furniture today comes in so many different styles and colors than when I had babies. I really love the idea of the conversion kits that Emily offers. You can later convert the crib into a toddler bed, a day bed or even a full sized bed.

Did You Know What You Get if You Have Three Feet?

Did you know what you get if you have three feet?

My oldest nephew thinks rather differently and his mind is usually not on the subject at hand. Last week he cracked me up with some good one-liners, though only one was meant to be humorous! As we worked on his math, I was teaching him about 12"=1' and 3'=one yard. As we went over it, I asked him "if we have three feet, what do we have?" and he said, "if we had three feet, we would run awkward!" (yes, that's a direct quote, he said "awkward"!!)

Later, as we took my daughter to her piano lesson, we crossed a local creek called Clear Creek. He read the sign and said "Clear Creek. When I looked at it, it looked really dirty!"

Did You Know About Borba Skin Care Products?

Did You Know About Borba skin care products?

When I read the question "Do you look your age?"(out loud) my husband answered “YES”. I told him that’s pretty good. As for me, my gray head makes me look older than my age! And Ihave noticed changes in my skin as well over the last few years. Reading about Borba skin care products like HD-illuminating Plasma Crystals makes me see that many people these days are anxious to take care of wrinkles and fine lines, dullness and an uneven tone. The HD helps to resurface and revitalize skin and reflects light and minimizes the appearance of pores giving skin a youthful look. The plasma also helps to defy age by giving a smoother, brighter look to skin. Because Borba products target the inner skin, you can be sure that you will be gaining healthy skin from the inside out. All Borba products are tested, approved, and recommended by dermatologists.

Borba is running a special offer right now. If you spend $100 you will get a sampler kit including Clarifying Micro-Diamond Cleanser, Clarifying Concentrate and Clarifying Aqua-less Crystalline. This kit, worth $25, should help you be on your way to more radiant, more youthful looking skin.

Did You Know Who To Vote For This Year???

Did you know who to vote for this year?

I sure don't!! I don't really like any of them. I did not last election either. I voted third party last election. I would like to this time, too. But I am scared!! Really!! The front runners of this year's election really scare me!

I took a little quiz on our local news station website. It is a tool to help you see which candidates you most agree with. Mine came up as Ron Paul. I was not all that surprised. We are from the same area of the country. My dad grew up in the same town as Mr. Paul. I don't know how much I agree with him on things, but this little quiz rendered up his name as my candidate.

I still don't know who to vote for!

Did You Know That Eating Raw Oysters Are Not a Threat To Healthy Individuals?

Did you know that eating raw oysters are not a threat to healthy individuals?

Living near the Gulf, I know many people who love to eat Gulf oysters, even raw. It seems that there has been a lot of cry over eating raw oysters. But I have learned that eating raw oysters is ok for healthy people. So my dad, my husband and especially my father-in-law can enjoy those raw oysters to their hearts content. As for me, I'll eat them cooked, thank you!

Here is some oyster fun from the three kids in my home.

Z: What did the oyster say to the clam?
Nothing! Oysters can't talk!


K: What did the oyster say to the pearl?
I've got you covered!

A (with a little revising from me!):

Oysters are boisterous
they are noiseters
but the poisters
are hoisters

Hope you enjoy your oysters as much!!

Did You Know About the Theresienstadt exhibit?

Did you know about the Theresienstadt exhibit?

Theresienstadt, also known as Terezin, was a fortress city was turned into a concentration camp during WWII. It was hailed as "Hitler's gift to the Jews" and propaganda was spread (falsely) showing how the Jews were treated well by the Hitler.

We toured an exhibit on Theresienstadt yesterday. We saw drawings and writings from the children confined there. I was struck by the dedication and determination of Friedl Dicker-Brandeis (also imprisoned here) who taught the children art every day. To keep their minds off the death surrounding them, these kids looked forward to their daily art classes. They also made themselves a newspaper and magazine. We also got to see a "Ghetto" game board, depicting Terezin, fashioned after the popular game Monopoly. These kids tried to keep death and atrocity at bay using their minds and creativity.

This exhibit also featured some interactive elements that really caught my daughter's attention. Before going, we had spent the week studying the lesson plans provided by the museum. My daughter really did a nice job creating butterflies to go along with each poem we had read.




When we walked into the exhibit, we noticed all the butterflies decorating one area of the exhibit (and you could also find butterflies throughout the exhibit.) She enjoyed making a poem of her own. They had magnetic boards with words so you could work on it til you got it just right. Then there were notebooks that you could record your poem in.

There were some cut out hand shapes on which you could draw a place that is special to you, or just leave a note showing how you feel about the children in the camp. My daughter did a couple of those. The museum is no longer accepting hand crafted butterflies to add to this exhibit, but they will continue to accpet photos to display in their digital exhibit.
