National Geographic- A Mother’s Love @NGStore

Just in time for Mother’s Day, my all time favorite publication is putting out a wonderful book entitled- “Mother’s Love: Inspiring True Stories from the Animal Kingdom” by Melina Gerosa Bellows and a foreword by actress Kate Hudson.

“Mother’s Love” explores the immeasurable love that mothers have for their children in the wild. Amazing stories and touching photographs of the animals fill the pages, including the remarkable tale of a mother elephant that went above and beyond to save her baby from a flash flood. As the flood tore the two apart, the mother managed to lift the baby over her head with her trunk and stand on her hind legs to bring her calf to safety. She was swept away, but soon after, camp managers heard a trumpeting noise — the mother elephant calling to her baby as she fought [Read more…]

Various Types of Tutoring Services: Which Is Right for Your Child?

Even smart, motivated kids may have times where they need a little extra help when it comes to their academic pursuits. And while most parents can provide for this need in the beginning, offering assistance with math, science, history, and language at least through grade school, some adults may lose the ability to help their kids with homework as the subject matter becomes more advanced. Plus, most working parents already have a pretty full plate between the time constraints imposed by holding a job, running a household, and seeing to the many necessities of their family. So they simply may not have much time left over to sit and do homework with their kids. Luckily, there are professionals out there who can provide your children with the extra attention and instruction they need. And there are several types of tutors to consider.

For starters, you may want to look into tutoring programs that are sponsored by your child’s school or community organizations. These generally take place after school and they are meant to help underprivileged children get the help they need when they can’t afford paid tutoring services. In most cases the tutors are volunteers, and they may be teachers, advanced older students, or even college students seeking experience or simply looking to give something back to their community. In any case, your child may be eligible for free services in your area. And while you might balk at instruction that comes from other students, learning from a peer may be more helpful in some cases than learning from a teacher.

Of course, if you have the money to pay for a tutor there are many more options. For example, [Read more…]

Win BOO, the World’s Cutest Dog, from @GottaGettaGUND

How cute is this doggie? My son is Mr. Puppy Lover, animals in general, but he is all about dogs. Boo is just the cutest, and Little Man loves him! “Boo” was supposed to me for me- but he was pup-snatched….bratty kids! LOL.

Every mom and every kid you know is going to want a “Boo” of their very own. It’s going to be hard not to get one for yourself, so I suggest just giving in to the urge and picking one up. He’s not expensive- and really, how are you supposed to resist? You are only human….


I first saw this cutie (the dog, not the kid!) at Toy Fair this year. How cute is that! “Boo” totally stood out- and since “Boo” the real dog already has millions of fans, I’m sure it won’t be long before [Read more…]
