Boosting Your Kids Education with At-Home Learning

2012-04-18T14:28:00.004-07:00

While a conventional education is often free and provides the basics your child will need to succeed in the world, many parents find that it leaves something to be desired. In these cases, parents may opt to provide additional education to their child in the home. At-home learning can provide many benefits that traditional schools cannot, such as broadened coverage of subjects, special topics, one-on-one time and cognitive benefits that can put them at an advantage over their peers.

Gaining your child's cooperation in this matter is something else entirely. No child wants to spend more time than necessary in school and unless you structure your home curriculum with this in mind, they'll become bored and have trouble paying attention. Here are some fun suggestions for things you can do to boost your child's education with at-home learning:

Tools of the Trade

Book and toy stores carry a vast assortment of activity books and card games geared toward teaching your child at home. These learning aids are designed to be attractive to children and will let them enhance their skills while having fun. If you really want to stoke your child's enthusiasm for home learning, bring them along with you and let them pick out their books and games. Many of the exercise books available are parts of a series, so children will also enjoy the excitement of advancing to the next level.

Online Education

The internet is a rich source for educational aids and exercises of all kinds and can be especially helpful for children who are experiencing difficulty in a particular subject. All he or she may need is to have it explained in a different way. There are hundreds of websites dedicated to games that work on spelling, grammar and science. You can even find an online math curriculum for kids that fits your child's needs and abilities.

Set Rewards

It's important to reward a job well done. Giving your child something to look forward to upon successful completion of a task makes it more likely that they'll try harder and retain the information better. It also teaches them that you get out of your work what you put into it. Good rewards could be a desired toy, treat or special privilege.

Field Trips

Because it's just you and your child, arranging a field trip that's both educational and entertaining is a simple affair. In most places, there are zoos, museums, parks and other places brimming with educational opportunity. Many cities even feature educational attractions designed specifically for children.

Learning shouldn't have to stop in the classroom. Your kids should be more than enthused to explore the outside world, and as long as learning more, doesn't mean sitting in front of the same worksheets they stare at all day, they should be excited to take their education into their own hands.

#UBP12 Party Time!

2012-04-18T11:32:00.002-07:00

The party has been going on now for a couple days and I am just joining in. We have all been sick and haven't been up to any parties, until now. I hope everyone will join in on the fun, so many great prizes and live events.

Yoplait Greek Review

2012-04-12T14:22:00.001-07:00

Winter blues got you down?

A recent survey conducted by Yoplait Greek found that during the peak winter months the “winter blues” are hitting people hard – and by March, they’re ready more than ever for spring/summer to come. In fact, people are willing to go to unique and extreme lengths to escape the winter blues – with 31% saying they’d eat or drink something tropical… and some even saying they’d lay on a pool lounge chair in a parka to get some vitamin D!

Yoplait Greek can help nix those winter blues with two new flavor offerings – Coconut and Cherry Pomegranate – both available in convenient multipacks. In addition to the delicious taste and creamy texture, Yoplait Greek is an excellent source of calcium and vitamin D, and contains two times the protein of regular yogurt.

· Now in stores, Yoplait Greek’s inspired new flavors offer a delicious, creamy, and satisfying snack that deliver two times the protein of regular yogurt*.

· Yoplait Greek Coconut and Cherry Pomegranate come in convenient multipacks with four yogurt cups that are the perfect size for snacking (4 oz.) – each packed with 8 grams of protein and only 110 calories!

· The new flavors are delectable and fresh with the same benefits you’ve come to expect from Yoplait Greek, and are an excellent source of calcium and vitamin D.

· Yoplait Greek now also offers Blueberry in convenient 4-packs in addition to its other original Greek flavor multipacks: Strawberry and Honey Vanilla.

· Yoplait Greek Cherry Pomegranate, Blueberry and Strawberry multipacks also contain delicious fruit on the bottom!

· Yoplait Greek is an affordable Greek yogurt product at a suggested retail price of $2.99 per 4-pack, and is now available at major grocery stores nationwide.

* Yoplait Greek contains 12g of protein per 6 oz. versus regular non-Greek yogurt contains 5g of protein per 6 oz.

My son is mostly G-tube fed, but can eat smooth and creamy foods, so I was very excited to try the Yoplait Greek with him. Honestly, he did not like the Coconut at all, but enjoyed the Cherry Pomegranate. I believe the Yoplait Greek is also helping him put on weight as well. I have bought more Yoplait Greek since our review.

Do you know where your food comes from?

2012-04-11T19:10:00.000-07:00

Each week many Americans head to the grocery store and fill their carts without knowing where their food came from, how it was grown, or who grew it. Recently, whether it's because of news items on television and the Internet or a growing personal curiosity, more and more people are beginning to ask and wonder about food production practices in America. Questions such as "Is organic food healthier than non-organic?" and "Is the planet able to sustain the amount of food we're producing?".

The U.S. Farmers and Ranchers Alliance has created a virtual table that you are invited to sit at and ask questions about how food is grown and raised in America. Through their website, FoodDialogues.com and Facebook page, USFRA seeks to answer the tough questions Americans have about food production practices in the U.S.. Real farmers and ranchers tell their stories and give insights into how their farms and ranches operate.

7 Kid & Eco Friendly Activities

2012-04-09T08:42:00.001-07:00

Our generation is in danger, due to the many environmental problems we face today. Getting our
children involved in Eco-friendly activities around the house can help ensure our environment is safe
for another generation. Eco-friendly activities can also be quite fun, and provide your children with
something to do!

1. Start a Compost Garden!

Trash accumulates very easily and can often account for one of the main ways our oceans and forests
become polluted. Taking some of your biodegradable trash and starting a garden with it provides the
environment with effective fertilizer, promoting future growth for plants! This can also teach your
children how to care for plants, which can lead to bigger lessons about responsibility.

2. Recycle!
Our world comes with limited resources, and it is very important that we conserve them. Teaching your children to recycle their empty plastic bottles and used or unwanted paper can benefit the environment in a number of ways. Recycling your plastic bottles means they can be re-used, and they won't pile up on beaches and landfills. Plastics cause a huge problem on beaches, as turtles often mistake plastic bags as jellyfish, and end up sick.

3. Teach your Kids
One of the best ways to get your children involved in Eco-friendly activities is by teaching them about it and spending time with them. It is a lot easier to learn about things such as this with a guide, and what better person to do it than their parent? This will also encourage children to share the green activity, and soon, many children will be sharing good environmental habits.

4. Turn off Lights
One of the best ways to conserve energy is to shut off lights that are not in us, one of the biggest
energy-wasters in houses. Teaching your children this good habit when they are young will encourage them to continue it for a lifetime, saving both of you money.

5. CFLs
Energy-efficient light bulbs cost less over time, and they can help save large amounts of energy. It can also help save money on bills too! One of the main reasons electricity consumption is on the rise is due to the fact that homeowners have not switched to energy-efficient light bulbs. Teaching children to replace light bulbs can be a helpful way to get them involved in Eco-friendly activities AND learn how to handle a basic household chore!

6. Clean up Trash
Often, people are careless and will not bother to put their trash in the appropriate bins. This can cause
much harm to the environment, because trash can be swept away by wind or the waves and be carried
out into the environment, where it can cause a large amount of damage to wildlife and forests. Teaching your children to pick up trash when they see it can be an effective way to assist the environment, and get them involved in Eco-friendly activities.

7. Turn Off Faucets
Faucets and kitchen sinks are often left on longer than they need to be, and as a result, this wastes a
large amount of water. Water is Earth's most precious resource, and it helps sustain life as we know
it. Helping to conserve water can ensure that there is enough water for both humans and wildlife to
survive. It will also ensure that our planet is safe and cared for when further generations come!

Nine Benefits of Music Education for Kids

2012-03-30T18:24:00.000-07:00

Keep Kids Learning Over The Summer

By Laura Yeh

Summer is almost here and parents are looking for ways to keep their kids entertained, engaged and learning.

Kids who learn to play a musical instrument gain an outlet for their creativity that can bring them a joy for a lifetime. They also reap tangible benefits that can help them as students and throughout their lives.

Through musical instruction, children learn discipline, patience, problem-solving skills, confidence and responsibility, to name just a few benefits. Let’s take a closer look at some of the advantages your child can gain from learning to play an instrument:

Precision, discipline and focus: In addition to fostering the development of discipline, music enables children to learn precision and accuracy. I know of no other form of education that can help students learn this kind of focused precision at a young age. Students learn to pay close attention to exactly how a particular skill looks, sounds and feels. The brain learns to notice more detail.

Patience: Students gain the valuable quality of patience, especially with a more complex instrument like violin or piano. Each skill requires hundreds of repetitions to become easy. Students must have the confidence that they will get it if they just keep practicing.

Problem-solving and persistence: Practicing is always about problem-solving. Why do I make a mistake here or why does it sound squeaky? What solutions can I come up with to fix the mistake? Good practice techniques require creativity and patience to identify and solve the problem. From this, students learn persistence. No passage is impossible to play correctly. It’s just a matter of finding the right way of practicing.

Fine motor skills: I have seen the development of fine motor skills in my violin students, particularly the ability to isolate certain muscles and joints as well as the independent use of each finger.

Healthy habits: Learning a musical instrument requires good posture and the ability to keep muscles relaxed even while doing something challenging. Students also strengthen muscles and gain flexibility, both of which contribute to overall health.

Memory: As music is memorized, the capabilities of memory are greatly enhanced. Education then becomes a matter of drawing conclusions and making connections between concepts rather than an exertion to merely memorize all the material. The younger a child can begin learning music, the greater the benefit for their short- and long-term memory.

Creativity: The wonderful thing about music is that, although it requires precision and accuracy in terms of rhythms, notes and playing technique, when it comes to interpretation, there is so much room for individuality. The skill of improvisation allows even greater creativity. Students learn to

think for themselves and make their own artistic choices rather than being told how to do everything.

Cultural Understanding: Students are introduced to music of different cultures and from different times. This exposure is useful for kids to learn about and appreciate the differences and individuality of all people.

Confidence and work ethic: Students learn that if they apply themselves intelligently, efficiently, and persistently they achieve the desired result.

So what is the best way to introduce children to music? Many children with encouragement can learn challenging instruments such as the violin and piano. But not all families can invest the money and time required for instruments and lessons. A wonderful instrument that I have found to help spur children’s interest in music is the ocarina.

These ancient little wind instruments were played by the Mayans, Aztecs and Incas of South and Central America and in ancient India and China. The ocarina was well known in the United States in the early part of the last century after being issued to troops in the two World Wars.

In 2004, I bought several ocarinas while on a visit to Taiwan. I was impressed by how easy the ocarina was to pick up and play. So we began teaching it at the St. Louis School of Music. It turned out to be a perfect fit.

The ocarina is pocket-sized, fun and intriguing to play. It’s portable, economical and has a pleasant sound even in the hands of a beginner. It offers a great way to teach children the lifelong joys of music and introduce them to skills that will help them excel in everything they do.

About the Author:

Laura Yeh is a performer and music educator trained in the Suzuki method of instruction who teaches violin and ocarina at the St. Louis School of Music to children as young as 3 and adults. Laura and her husband Dennis have collaborated with ocarina makers around the world to produce new models of the ocarina. They have designed and produced many unique and innovative ocarinas sold by STL Ocarina (http://www.stlocarina.com).

Tide Pods Review

2012-03-30T17:37:00.000-07:00

About Tide Pods:

It’s been over 30 years since Tide changed the way we did laundry with liquid Tide –but Tide has innovated again with its newest laundry innovation, Tide Pods. Tide Pods are a multi-dimensional laundry detergent that looks different than any other liquid or unit dose detergent in the market today. What makes Tide Pods work so well? The three chamber design allows the product to brighten, fight stains and clean – delivering a superior clean you can only expect from Tide. What’s more is that the product features a best-in-class film that dissolves and works effectively in all water temperatures.

Simply place a pac into the drum of a front or top-loading washing machine before adding clothing – there’s no need to measure, pour or clean up messy spills

Review:

Tide has been around forever and they have done it again. I love the new pacs they have come out with. It makes doing laundry so easy. I love the no hassle clean up. Just toss one in and your ready to go. My clothes are well washed and come out smelling clean. They come in several different scents as well.

Review

I received the Roasted Garlic Peppercorn and I used it on chicken legs. I baked the chicken in the oven. The chicken tasted so good. I really enjoyed the flavor and how well the rub stayed on. My husband usually doesn't eat chicken but enjoyed this. It was not messy at all either.

Denise Richards Shares her Top Five Fun Family Activites

2012-03-08T14:15:00.000-08:00

Denise Richards Shares her Top Five Fun Family Activities

Actress Denise Richards – a mom who, like Totino’s, embraces the craziness of motherhood – understands that spending quality time together with family is always a top priority. As a working mother of three beautiful girls, Denise knows how hectic life can get and how difficult it can be to bring the family together.

Knowing that most moms out there are also extremely busy and looking for fun ways to bring their families together, Denise has shared her top five fun family activities – to give moms ideas for easy and fun activities the whole family can enjoy, without breaking the bank.

1. Pizza and a movie night.

Every month, we all gather in the living room for a pizza and a movie night. We alternate who picks the movie, and what type of pizza we get. If it were my pick, I would choose a comedy, my all-time favorite! During family movie night, there is always smiling, sometimes a few tears (if the movie is sad) and definitely some good, quality cuddling!

1. Fun times with friends.

Everyone is so busy we often forget to re-connect with friends. Try scheduling monthly family outings together … it can be to the park, the museum or even to each other’s houses for a backyard BBQ. Nothing fancy, just enjoying time together.

1. Giving back.

Over the years, I have supported some amazing charities, and I encourage my kids to volunteer with me, whenever possible. It’s important to me that we give back, and showing my kids the impact we can make by helping others is so rewarding. One of the places we’ve volunteered together is our local animal shelter – it was such a great experience and we can’t wait to go back!

Be sporty.

Even though we are not all athletic, we love playing a good game of softball or tag in our back yard. Sometimes, we pick non-traditional games, like kickball, something that none of us know how to do and that we can all learn together.

Inspire Creativity.

Spending time creating crafts with your kids can turn any day into a fun-filled day! In fact, my family can spend hours together coloring, drawing, painting and glittering things up. The kids love it because they get to be creative, and I love it because in the end, I have something beautiful to display in our home.

To help families get a head start on Denise’s number one activity – pizza and a movie night – Totino’s has teamed up with Redbox to offer a new promotion: purchase either one Totino’s Party Pizza or two 40-count bags of Totino’s Pizza Rolls snacks, and receive a special coupon code for a free, one-night DVD rental from Redbox. To find out where you can purchase your Totino’s Party Pizza or Pizza Rolls snacks, or to learn more about the Redbox offer, visit www.Totinos.com.

FeverAll® Review and Giveaway

2012-02-29T18:32:00.001-08:00

2012-02-29T16:37:00.002-08:00

As a mom, I’m sure you’ve been there - it’s the middle of the night - sick baby wailing with a fever and you can’t get her to calm down to take a full dose of liquid acetaminophen. Your frustration compounds the situation because all you want to do is help her to feel better. If you had FeverAll® Acetaminophen Suppositories in your medicine cabinet, this situation might play out a bit smoother and your baby would receive the full dose of acetaminophen that she needs to fight fever.

FeverAll is the top national brand of acetaminophen in suppository form. Parents have relied on its accuracy and ease-of-use for more than 30 years. With FeverAll, parents can be confident that their child has received the exact dosage of acetaminophen required for their age every single time. At less than one-inch in size, FeverAll is smaller than other acetaminophen suppositories, which makes it easier to administer in infants and children.

Acetaminophen dosing for children has never been simpler or more accurate. No more measuring, struggling with a feisty toddler or worrying if your child swallowed the full/proper dose because they’re spitting up. What’s more, FeverAll Infants’ Strength (ages six to 36 months) is the only infant acetaminophen product available that has dosing instructions on the label.

FeverAll Children’s Strength (ages 3-6 years) and Jr. Strength (ages 6-12 years) formulas are also great alternatives for older children who are unable or unwilling to take a full dose of acetaminophen orally, due to vomiting, or have difficulty swallowing due to physical or medical conditions.

Butt Bench Review and Giveaway

2012-02-24T14:52:00.001-08:00

"Butt Bench® is a sturdy, high-quality patent-pending bathtub seat made of natural wood. This tub seat supports your weight – use it to make shaving easier, or sit down, relax, and turn your shower into a sauna. Butt Bench is also a great bathtub storage ledge!"

I was sent the White Pine Bench to review. I don't like standing in the shower and having to shave my legs and this product is wonderful for sitting down and doing just that! Built in sliding suction cups hold the bathtub seat in place . No need to make holes in your wall or install anything permanently. Butt Bench can be removed or uninstalled with ease. Acts as additional storage for your bottles and cleans easily. This bath seat is sealed with a water-proof finish making it resistant to water.Its very sturdy, I was scared at first to sit on it, afraid I would break it in half, lol, but it can hold quite a bit of weight. I have been sick too and been very dizzy and the bench came in very handy when I just couldn't stand to take a shower. This product will be used often in our home. I am going to recommend my parents get one too, they are great for seniors as well.
The ARP is $49.99
