Science Day at School
This last week my son got to have a day devoted to Science experiments. His teachers put together the 1st Annual 5th Grade Science Day at school…and it was a hit! They made play-dough, volcanoes, lava lamps, bouncy balls, floated ketchup and made raisins bounce. What a great idea to have 5th grade students learn by making messes and getting their hands dirty. Talk about hands-on learning!
BISSELL Perfect Sweep Turbo Review
Disclosure: I received a free product to test for this review. Recently my family had the opportunity to go to the LEGO KidsFest in Louisville. While we were there, we saw BISSELL representatives showing a special sweeper that is helping parents everywhere clean up LEGO bricks! You know me! I had to try this thing. So I contacted BISSELL and they agreed to send me a BISSELL Perfect Sweep Turbo to try out. This thing has become a valuable part of our daily routine.
How to Make a Dog Bandana
We took our Yorkie to the groomers a few weeks ago and we were thrilled with how he smelled and looked. My boys were worried the groomer would send him home with a bow. But instead, he came home with an adorable bandana. We were thrilled with how cute he looked. I decided to see if I could make one. It was so easy to make that I wanted to share how to make a dog bandana. I think I’ll make a few more to let our dog celebrate the different holidays.
