&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Several months ago I switched from the powder dish washing soap to the little single use tablets.&amp;nbsp; They are much smaller and easier to store and use.&amp;nbsp; I found it was worth it to pay the few extra cents to have the convenience of them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I was recently sent a package of UltraPacks liquid laundry detergent from purex.&amp;nbsp; These little packs bring that same convenience to laundry soap.&amp;nbsp; I love these.&amp;nbsp; They make getting the laundry started a little easier.&amp;nbsp; You just throw the pack into the washer and start things like normal.&amp;nbsp; They even work with HE washers you put them in with the clothes rather then in the little dispenser at the top.&amp;nbsp; I was very pleased with these little packets.&amp;nbsp; I have used a whole package of 18 of these in the last month or so.&amp;nbsp; My clothes have come out clean and pleasantly fresh.&amp;nbsp; These are neat clean and perfectly portioned.&amp;nbsp; I am always spilling the detergent or putting to much into the dispenser, so these were a nice change to that.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purexinsiders.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ultrapacks-brick.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.purexinsiders.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ultrapacks-brick.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Purex will be releasing these in February.&amp;nbsp; I look forward to seeing what the pricing on these will be.&amp;nbsp; If they are a reasonable price they will surely be on my shopping list.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I was given a chance to review the &lt;a href="http://www.sliceproducts.com/"&gt;slice™ Safety Cutter - Great for couponers,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I must say I was quite impressed with this little tool.&amp;nbsp; It is great for cutting coupons and well anything really.&amp;nbsp; I was not sure at first I mean a ceramic blade that I can not cut my finger on is going to cut through paper?&amp;nbsp; But let me tell you I pulled it out to try for the first time while cutting coupons and it really worked well.&amp;nbsp; I was able to cut out all my coupons so much faster and no finger cramps!!&amp;nbsp; I loved the fact it is finger safe baby bug always seems to go for the scissors when I am working on coupons, it is a constant battle to keep them out of her reach it is nice to know these are a safer option.&amp;nbsp; It also has a magnet and key ring hole built in for easy keeping up! &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; At $5.99 I think this is a great purchase. &amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;In the next few days I will be Trying it out on the wrapping paper, I have a feeling this is going to making present wrapping so much easier!!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QfnhLTSPYB8/Tt2V3g5Zl2I/AAAAAAAAAWk/Y6KpV_XgllA/s1600/IMG_2066.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QfnhLTSPYB8/Tt2V3g5Zl2I/AAAAAAAAAWk/Y6KpV_XgllA/s320/IMG_2066.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;The first one we found was the Strider.&amp;nbsp; Have you heard of these yet they are what they call a balance bike.&amp;nbsp; It is basicly a bike without the pedals.&amp;nbsp; The thought is children will learn to balance with them and be able to skip the training wheels.&amp;nbsp; The &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/STRIDER-SPORTS-INTL-INC-ST-2-KTM/dp/B004AR0B3U/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1323144778&amp;amp;sr=8-2"&gt;Strider&lt;/a&gt; sells for $109 dollars on amazon, we got ours for $5 it is in very good condition, with some very minor scratches on the seat being the only real wear.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0sQvOh9czSw/Tt2XHZc4IbI/AAAAAAAAAWs/nZBK8OPhiOw/s1600/IMG_2065.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0sQvOh9czSw/Tt2XHZc4IbI/AAAAAAAAAWs/nZBK8OPhiOw/s320/IMG_2065.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Next we found the Tricycle.&amp;nbsp; We found the &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Radio-Flyer-Deluxe-Steer-Stroll%C2%AE/dp/B0009NX07S/ref=sr_1_15?s=toys-and-games&amp;amp;ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1323144940&amp;amp;sr=1-15"&gt;Radio Flyer Deluxe Steer and Stroll Trike&lt;/a&gt; Which normal sells at Amazon for $96.99.&amp;nbsp; We got it for $10.&amp;nbsp; It is in new condition.&amp;nbsp; I think the child who owned it before us must have out grown it fast or not been very interested in it.&amp;nbsp; I think it could pass as a floor model it has such little wear on it.&amp;nbsp; The above picture was taken before I cleaned it up with a little cleaner, now it is very sparkly clean.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Our last fun find was the wagon.&amp;nbsp; I have not had a chance to take a picture yet.&amp;nbsp; I will add that in once I get around to taking the picture.&amp;nbsp; The wagon is the &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Radio-Flyer-Pathfinder-Wagon-Red/dp/B002JCS7X4/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&amp;amp;ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1323145440&amp;amp;sr=1-1"&gt;Radio Flyer 2700z Pathfinder wagon&lt;/a&gt; in red.&amp;nbsp; This normally sells on Amazon for $119.99, we got it for $30.&amp;nbsp; This again was in almost new condition.&amp;nbsp; This wagon has fold out seats with seat belts and cup holders for that very important sippy cup.&amp;nbsp; Since we found all three items we have decided to save the wagon for her birthday.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;So basically we got the big gifts for both her Birthday and Christmas for $45 using Craigslist.&amp;nbsp; None of them having more wear on them then she will put on them in her first week of having them.&amp;nbsp; So don't forget this great resource as your shop for great Christmas Presents for your kids.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;This Little Prayer of mine&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;By: Anthony Destefano&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Illustrated by: Mark Elliott &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;(A Children's Book)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;From the Back of the book:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I know you're up in heaven, God, and can hear my voice from there.&amp;nbsp; I'm just a little child.&amp;nbsp; Will you answer my short prayer?&amp;nbsp; So begins this delightful book that affirms God's readiness to answer our prayers, no matter what our age.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;My thoughts:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;This is a great addition to our bookshelf.&amp;nbsp; The book is goes through a prayer of a young child through all the different emotions and events that they may pray about.&amp;nbsp; I believe it is a good book to show a child how easy it is to pray.&amp;nbsp; I am also in love with the pictures in this book, they are so simple yet so pretty the colors are very vibrant.&amp;nbsp; My young daughter is able to sit through the book as it is a simple short read, and the pictures hold her attention very well.&amp;nbsp; Overall I give this book at 5 out of 5 stars I found it to be a good read for young children.&lt;br /&gt;
Disclaimer:&amp;nbsp; I received a&amp;nbsp; free copy of this book for review purposes.&amp;nbsp; The opinions in this book are all mine and are not influenced by the company.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;About the product: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Are the combination of Erasers and Bracelets.&amp;nbsp; The Eraselets are made in the US.&amp;nbsp; They are the product of a dad's lightbulb moment.&amp;nbsp; When his daughter misplaced all of her erasers he replied "As many bracelets as you wear, I should tie an eraser around your wrist."&amp;nbsp; The Eraselet produces very little dusting which keeps the bracelet strong and durable!&lt;br /&gt;
They have several different themed packs to choose from, these come with 6 in a pack and are currently priced at $3.95 on the &lt;a href="http://www.eraselet.com/"&gt;Eraselet website&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; They also carry two scripture packages that can be found at Lifeway Christian Stores.&amp;nbsp; They are working currently with Dollar General to make these a dollar item, they should be available in the market stores just in time for Christmas, can we say stocking stuffer?&lt;br /&gt;
They also make these for fundraisers with custom printing! &amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
Check out this cute you tube video they have out there- &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Al8tz8p823Y?fs=1" width="480"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;My Thoughts:&amp;nbsp; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I received two packs of these to try out.&amp;nbsp; They erased fairly well and created hardly any dust just as advertised.&amp;nbsp; I love the idea of kids being able to keep that eraser close at hand.&amp;nbsp; I can see the kids really digging these as well, they could become handy. I think the price is very reasonable as well.&amp;nbsp; I am excited to hear they will be hitting the dollar spot at Dollar General.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I also really like the fact they have the scripture sets.&amp;nbsp; These can be a great reminder to remind the wearer of the truths found in the bible.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eraselet.com/images/601104.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.eraselet.com/images/601104.png" width="186" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;From the Back of the book:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Oh no!&amp;nbsp; Happy is in trouble again!&amp;nbsp; Having gone out to post his letter to Santa, he suddenly finds himself on an unexpected journey.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Although Happy is cold and scared at first, his adventure takes a turn and delivers him to magical lands where he discovers that dreams really can come true.&amp;nbsp; Can Happy save the day?&amp;nbsp; And more importantly, will he get home in time for Christmas?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;An adorable character and a wonderful, traditional story brought to life by beautiful illustrations.&amp;nbsp; A treasure that will stand the test of time and will surely be a favorite for all generations.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;My thoughts: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;My package came with three happy products - a happy stuffed dog, a hardback book and a softback book with English and Spanish words.&amp;nbsp; Babybug loved having the stuffed dog to hold while we read the book together, she barked throughout the whole story.&amp;nbsp; I loved this sweet little story about a happy little doggie appropriately named Happy.&amp;nbsp; I like the choice of Yorkie for this dog it seems to fit his personality very well in this story.&amp;nbsp; Baby bug enjoyed this story it is a bit long so we had to read it in two sessions since she has the attention span of a toddler.&amp;nbsp; I like the idea of a multi-language book, this gives older children exposure to Spanish as well as Spanish readers exposure to English.&amp;nbsp; This book would be a great addition to your Christmas collection.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Other Happy Tales information:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Right now Happy Tales Publishing is having a &lt;a href="http://www.happytalespublishing.com/contest.html"&gt;coloring contest&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; They have three pictures your children can do then turn in to enter the contest.&amp;nbsp; Entries are due by December 10th at Midnight.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Check them out on &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Happy-Tales-Publishing/148897871822613"&gt;facebook&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

helps build focus skills.&amp;nbsp; I think this would be a great toy to keep kids busy and help build skills while entertaining them.&amp;nbsp; I enjoyed the bright colors this is a very fun toy that catches your eye right away with it's colorful turns and barriers.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Cons:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;I did not like how small the numbers to keep you on the correct path are.&amp;nbsp; They are the same color as the path and I struggled to see them as a went along the path.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Overall I think this is a well designed toy and I enjoyed playing with it.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;You can connect with Perplexus on their &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Perplexus/230819813601725"&gt;facebook page&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/#%21/Perplexus1"&gt;Twitter account&lt;/a&gt;, and on &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/SuperplexusDotCom"&gt;Youtube&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9159170297082160478-9176808862907761225?l=thriftytori.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://thriftytori.blogspot.com/feeds/9176808862907761225/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://thriftytori.blogspot.com/2011/11/review-perplexus-original.html#comment-form" title="8 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9159170297082160478/posts/default/9176808862907761225?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9159170297082160478/posts/default/9176808862907761225?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/oMHwi/~3/1Ovjag60u18/review-perplexus-original.html" title="Review - Perplexus Original" /><author><name>Tori</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04655647847113059083</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="32" height="24" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1mxCc8PYWgQ/S6YT2ayY4LI/AAAAAAAAAEM/ICY1QShsmuI/S220/100_2981.JPG" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8W_SrBoiowI/TsJ-2VlkAoI/AAAAAAAABG4/8w3nMGGSJC0/s72-c/per3.bmp" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>8</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://thriftytori.blogspot.com/2011/11/review-perplexus-original.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DU4BQXk-cCp7ImA9WhRSGU4.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9159170297082160478.post-5873711563482905988</id><published>2011-11-21T20:59:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-21T20:59:10.758-08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2011-11-21T20:59:10.758-08:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Book Review" /><title>Book Review- Backyard Horses, Horse Dreams</title><content type="html">&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcScjCDK_5f17xAPh5syVMI8zx-DAGhQ3G5B3ZBgqm3Zr-mspNgh" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcScjCDK_5f17xAPh5syVMI8zx-DAGhQ3G5B3ZBgqm3Zr-mspNgh" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;My Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I thought this was a good quality book for young girls.&amp;nbsp; I liked the way that Ellie had such an open easy relationship with God.&amp;nbsp; She prayed to him as if she was talking to a friend at the park.&amp;nbsp; I think this sets a good example and shows children how they can let God into their lives on a daily basis.&amp;nbsp; Ellie's younger brother is deaf and uses sign language to communicate.&amp;nbsp; I liked how the book had each chapter title pictures of finger spelling for the title words.&amp;nbsp; The book also included a page in the back that had the alphabet in sign language.&amp;nbsp; The book also exposes children to common horse terms and defines them in the back of the book.&amp;nbsp; I know I have a niece that will be head over heels for this book with all the horse involved!! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;The only thing that I thought may be confusing for young readers is the popping back and forth from Ellie's reality to her day dreams.&amp;nbsp; I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;From the back of the Book:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;After Gideon Coldly broke her heart, can the warmth of the season revive Mattie's hopes?&amp;nbsp; Mattie thought her childhood sweetheart adored her until he abruptly ended their engagement on Christmas Eve.&amp;nbsp; Three years later, will learning the truth behind his rejection restore her Christmas joy- or open the door to even deeper heartbreak?&amp;nbsp; Spend Christmas with the Amish in this story of love, romance, heartache, and restoration.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;My Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;This book is by the same author as &lt;a href="http://thriftytori.blogspot.com/2011/11/book-review-harvest-of-grace.html"&gt;The Harvest of Grace&lt;/a&gt;, and I must say I am falling in love with this author.&amp;nbsp; She has a way of bring her characters to life.&amp;nbsp; Even though her Characters from the Amish Country are from a very different walk of life then me I relate to them.&amp;nbsp; With her writing style I feel the characters joys as well as they struggle.&amp;nbsp; This book is that way I fell in love with Mattie and longed to see her make the choices that would make her happy.&amp;nbsp; Do you ever try to tell a character what to do as you read a book, knowing you see the big picture and they don't?&amp;nbsp; I did this in this book I wanted to tell Mattie exactly what to do to live the happily ever after life.&amp;nbsp; I will not tell you if she listened to me or not by the end of the story!!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This book was a quick easy read.&amp;nbsp; I read it in one night.&amp;nbsp; I think part of this is due to the size of the book, but also it is a book you don't want to put down.&amp;nbsp; I give this book a 5 out of 5 stars a good winter read!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was provided a free copy of this book from Water Brook Press for review purposes the opinions in this review are mine alone and are not influenced by the company.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;1. Scheduling- picking a good time for the kids can make or break a portrait session.&amp;nbsp; You want to schedule the pictures at a time with the child will be awake, well fed and happy.&amp;nbsp; Avoid nap times and meal times, kids can be very unhappy when sleepy or hungry.&amp;nbsp; Unhappy children mean no smiles!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.&amp;nbsp; Relax!&amp;nbsp; If you get tense about getting a good picture your kids will sense it and be less likely to warm up and give you natural expressions. So sit back and enjoy the session and know a great picture will come.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;3.&amp;nbsp; Be aware of you child/children's moods.&amp;nbsp; If your children are getting stressed give them a break get their minds off of poses and smiles, this will help them last longer through scene and pose changes.&amp;nbsp; If you don't watch for their signals your session may end way earlier then you are ready.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
