While living abroad in Japan, I came across some beautiful scarves as the Japanese have a real knack for beautiful textiles as you probably know. Recently though, I was given one of the most beautiful scarves’ I have seen in a long…

While visiting my in-laws at their house, I picked up a book they had on the kitchen table called Use Your Brain to Change Your Age by Daniel G. Amen. I was thoroughly intrigued and was so engrossed with the book they told me to take it home and give them cliff notes later as they hadn’t had a chance to read it yet. The book was quite fascinating and got me thinking about the importance not only of our physical health, but also of our mental health and the important connection between the two. In the book, Dr. Amen writes about how a healthy brain is key…

PBS Kids WordGirl vs. The Energy Monster Review and Giveaway
We are big fans of the PBS Kids Emmy Award-Winning WordGirl and just love her side kick, Huggy Face. My daughter and I will watch it together and I like that she will learn new words and is taught how to use them in sentences.
