"Total Eclipse Of the Rainbow" Children's CD review 2 other CD's Giveaway


  I recently worked with a wonderful company that supplied me with children's books, Waldmania!  They also just reached out to me about reviewing an amazing CD for children from the band Rainbow Rock Band.  On September 14, 2018 this cool band released the CD album, "Total Eclipse of the Rainbow" and it is so much fun to listen to.
  Singer/songwriter/educator, Dr. Kate Moran engages young listeners with her music while also teaching them letters, numbers and social development.  Kate said she hopes to provide teachers with a resource to use during circle time or with lesons that her songs also coordinate with.
  My favorite song is the "Rainbow Lullaby" which is perfect to play during school nap time, or at home during bedtime.This song is soft and comfy making any child ready for shut eye.

Homeschool - To Do or Not To Do?



   Texas allows any parent to home school their child/children without any person coming into your home and insisting upon proof of what you have taught and what you haven't.  This is the state I live in and I have actually home schooled 3 high school students for 1 year each and they all proceeded to get their G.E.D's with each one passing their test the very first time.  All of these students were aged 17.
  Many parents today are afraid that home school means quitting or copping out.  I have talked to many parents who feels this way and they will not take the time to gather the facts and understand mine, and others, reason for homeschooling.
  So the question is - to home school or not?  What are the pro's and con's to each side?
  Let me first give you my reasons why I choose to home school:
 1. I am very concerned with what my children are being taught that is against our beliefs as Christians.  God has been taken out of our schools and this is a horrible decision made by our government.
 2. Bullying has become a major concern across our country in all schools today.  Suicide has become the answer to some children who can not cope with bullying.
 3. Children in a classroom of 20+ students are not able to get that one-on-one attention that is a must-have for many children.  Some children are sometimes embarrassed to seek out the teachers advice because they may be to shy which can result in a child failing due to lack of understanding.

Lice Prevention Set by Circle of Friends review/giveaway Closed!

  review/giveaway
Lice!!  Ewww just the name makes me want to scratch my head!  Lice are terrible little bugs that attach themselves to your hair and lay eggs.  They feed on human blood.  Lice are not able to live more than 24-48 hrs. from the human host, on furniture,beds, ect..
Lice are not a sign of bad hygiene-if fact they love squeaky clean hair.
Day cares and schools are where most of the cases of lice are found. There are 6-12 million cases of head lice reported each year.  The cost of ridding of these pesty bugs can run anywhere from $20 to $200.
Circle of Friends has the mission to create a professional hair, bath, and body line for children, while introducing them to a world of styles and cultures. Plus, they strive to help prevent head lice. 

At Circle of Friends® they also believe that children deserve products designed for their special hair and bath needs, as well as ones that challenge their active minds. To achieve this goal, they carefully craft each product, using only the highest quality ingredients, such as exotic botanical extracts, natural elements, and enchanting fragrances, and bottle these magical formulas in a playful "kid friendly" package. And Circle of Friends® products are always safe and gentle, packed full of vitamins and proteins, and are never tested on animals!
