Kids will love Camp Google – an online summer camp
This past week was the start of Camp Google featuring Sylvia Earle, marine biologist and Explorer-in-Residence at National Geographic and host of the first week of Camp Google. This online summer camp was created to spark curiosity in children with four weeks of live adventures geared towards students ages 7-10 now through August 7th. During each of the four weeks of Camp Google, kids 7-10 can explore different subjects by joining live adventures—from the depths of the Atlantic to the top of one of the world’s most active volcanoes—and doing fun science projects. Last week, Sylvia and National Geographic diver Erika Bergman took kids on the first adventure—a live…

4 Summer Science Projects to do with the Kids
We are well into summer now, but that doesn’t mean we’ve stopped learning. In fact we’re still doing quite a lot – I just don’t call it “school”. Instead I just ask the kids if they want to do an activity with mommy and they’re sold. Science is the favorite subject in my house so we are doing a lot of mini-experiments and crafty projects that allow me to slip some scientific education into the day. We’ve dyed celery, made a seashell display box, and skinned an onion to see plant cells. Today we started a compost experiment using one of the small plastic fruit containers and some of the…

A Grand Ole Cake on the 4th of July!
The Fourth of July is a huge deal in our household. It’s probably right up there with Thanksgiving and Halloween. About two months ago, my husband, who never ever emails me, sent me a cake recipe for the 4th of July. He never ever asks me for anything, so this was a big deal. Needless to say, I was up for the challenge. My husband went so far as emailing the recipe for it, so I just had to do it. He requested for an American Flag cake, one which upon slicing, are slices of Old Glory herself! Here’s a link to the recipe care of Food52.com: https://food52.com/recipes/28811-american-flag-cake Due to…

How a Travel Journal Became My Daughter’s Greatest Treasure
Have you ever bought a journal and promised yourself to write in it EVERYDAY, only to have days, weeks, and months go by without even opening it? Are you one of those people who has a library of partly filled beautiful journals gathering dust on a shelf? If so, then like you, I have always had a fascination with journals – especially ones I bring on a trip with great intentions to fill it with vivid details of a fabulous adventure. Yet, after the first few days of beautifully written journal entries, I begin to lose interest and think, “Oh, I’ll just write in it later.” I write in the…

Summer Fun :: Learning How to Surf
My husband has been waiting patiently for our daughter to be a strong enough swimmer to teach her how to surf. He has been dreaming of one day heading to the beach with her and surfing the waves together since she first started to walk! But he had to wait to teach her how to surf and make sure she was a strong swimmer. Strong enough to take a couple tumbles in the surf. I would advise the same if you are looking to teach your kids how to surf or have them try out a surf day camp. If you are on the coast – check into local surf camps and see if…

Order medicines online safely with the new .pharmacy
Recently, I had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Carmen Catizone, MS, RPh, DPh (Executive Director/Secretary of the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy a/k/a “NABP“) and lawyer, Libby Baney, J.D. (Founder/Executive Director of Alliance for Safe Online Pharmacies a/k/a “ASOP Global“) regarding the June 3rd launch and release of .pharmacy [dot pharmacy] to the general public. This is a long time coming regarding verifiable and vetted online sites for ordering online medications (prescription or not). Due to the high-volume of sites (and ads) that consumers see on a daily basis they have undertaken the process of working with distributors and Pharmacy Organizations where they must pass a stringent 10-point system in…
