Upstate NY?
Written by Sherri Hicks
My sister and her husband just picked up and moved to upstate NY and I haven’t decided yet how I feel about it. Of course I miss her and my nieces but what I’m really concerned about is that It seems like it was all her husband’s idea and she didn’t have a lot of say in the matter. I love my sister but sometimes she’s kind of a doormat for people who are more aggressive than she is. They bought this great big house up on one of the lakes and it does seem nice but I’ve been wondering what she’s going to do all day all the way up there. I found a site called NEWYORKenergyrates.com and told her about it for her energy rates which will hopefully help because I know the new mortgage is already a bit of a strain. I know she’s a grown up and she’s got her whole life in front of her but I worry about her like she’s my own daughter because I’m older!

GIANTmicrobes Review and Giveaway
So I’m happy to report that I recently graduated with my biology degree!I am so passionate about science that I actively search out anything that has to do with science.I was recently searching for new creative ways to start teaching my son about science and came across the GIANTmicrobes website.I instantly became fascinated with their website.GIANTmicrobes actually takes diseases, cells and bodily functions to a whole new and cute level.They actually turn these horrible, gross, interesting and very important things into cute cuddly stuffed dolls.With my passion for everything science I just had to get my hands on one of these adorable cells.I am happy to say that I got my hands on a brain cell.
When I pulled it out the box my son looked at it and asked, “Mom what is that”.I was already so happy with the response, it was already doing what I wanted it to do, which was to invoke thought and provide a new learning experience.The brain cell came with a tag that provided a real image of a …

Groove Kid Nation Kid Songs Review
Groove Kid Nation: Music in Motion ~The groovy way to learn about musical instruments~
I am so happy I have been given the opportunity to review the Groove Kid Nation cd. We are going through a huge music phase with our toddler. All the children’s music out there all kind of sounds the same. The same songs and beats are used over and over with different words. And after a while my whole family has just become very tired of the same old songs. My son is already tired of all those “baby” songs. He actually requests the radio in the car, but those songs are just not appropriate for him. That is why I was so happy when I put the Groove Kid Nation Kids Songs cd in.
The moment we popped in our new kid’s songs the whole family fell in love. The songs are fun, different and so funky! One of the best things about these kid’s songs is the exposure to different sounds. There are a lot of different instruments introduced that you don’t hear very often. Instruments like the slide trombone, tenor sax…

Making Homemade Instruments for Kids
Tips 4: Making your own homemade instruments for kids.
Making homemade instruments is a great way for the whole family to come together. This week I will teach you how to make homemade guitars. All you need is a shoebox and different size rubber bands. I always save shoeboxes, because there is an unlimited amount of things you can do with them.
Find any size shoe box (or other small cardboard box) and wrap about 6 rubber bands around it width wise. We used some thick rubber bands and skinny ones to make different sounds.
We only spent $0.67 on this activity because we didn't have enough rubber bands at home. But if you have rubber bands available this activity is FREE. Hint: Stick some white paper around the shoebox and have your kids color and decorate their guitars first. We ended up making 3 guitars and played songs as a family. It was so much fun... all of us were laughing and having a good time!

I have been trying my hardest to fit exercise into my daily routine, but since my son was born a few years back I have really struggled to either fit my workouts in or simply stick with them. When I do find time to workout I usually get bored quickly and then I can easily talk myself out of keeping up with it. Well I can tell you I have found the cure with Holly Perkins new Fitness 360 routine. This product leaves no room for excuses and is so amazing it has me motivated, losing weight, toned and focused!
