Over the past few years a lot of attention has been given to the word organic. This applies to food, soap, beauty products, health, and even clothing. Organic products come highly recommended because organics, whether food or products, are grown without the use of ionizing radiation, pesticides, sewage sludge, synthetic fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms. Even animals used to produce meat, eggs, poultry, and dairy products are raised...more
You have never needed a writing course to pen intelligent, interesting stories that capture the imagination with bold creativity and unexpected twists. You know the difference between "there" and "their," and understand that "they're" is something else entirely. Your grammar is impeccable, and you know enough about the rules to know when to break them. That is, you have all these things on your side until you attempt writing children's books. The...more
If you have ever taken a trip with young children, you know that the number of kids travel toys that is required to keep them entertained can be staggering and yet, it still never seems like enough! The trick is not so much how many you bring, but what kinds you bring. There are so many different products that stimulate all kinds of different senses, you want to make sure that you bring enough of a variety to keep them entertained to make the trip easier for everyone. For example, if your child has a Nintendo DS, do not ring along 10 games for it thinking that it will suffice for six hours. Even though you might be able to sit doing the same thing for long periods of time, your child can not, so you have to bring something else besides the gaming system.If your child enjoys coloring but you are dreading having to reach behind you to constantly pick up his crayons, there are some kids travel toys that can take care of this. Grab one or two of the magic coloring pads or books that are found in stores near the coloring books that use a Magic Pen instead of crayons. When the child draws on the special paper, an array of colors show up. There is only one fat marker to use too,...more

Kids Drumsets: Beating A Path To Success Mention "kids" and "drumset" in the same sentence, and most parents are likely to run to the hills in terror. Frankly, they're running in the wrong direction.The irony is that these are frequently the same parents who have watched their children laugh, dance, and sing when they hear music. Yes, our kids know what's good for them—and in more ways than you can imagine! Countless studies have directly correlated the pursuit of music education with academic achievement. In other words, children who study a musical instrument—especially from an early age—do better in school than children who do not.Yet while parents are fine with the idea of music education, that somehow doesn't extend to playing on a drumset. This may be a holdover from the days when the public's perception of a band was "ten musicians...and a drummer." Or it may be the idea that a drumset is too complicated a piece of equipment for a young child to master. Or—and this is the likeliest possibility—it may be that most parents equate "drums" with "loud and annoying."The truth is that learning to play a drumset at an early age, when motor skills are being honed,...more
