Or wanting to sing the latest songs but doesn’t know what key to sing in?

We just discovered this great site called musicnotes.com. You can pay a small fee, anywhere from $3 – $5 to download sheet music.

My eight year old son is hooked! He now can play music that his friends know.

The other day he downloaded from the Video Game section and is now learning to play The Legend of Zelda.  There are all types of musical styles, from classical to country to modern.

This site gives your child the opportunity to explore some other musical choices outside of what their teacher may pick for them.

We have lived in our home for almost 3 years now, and I have tried every product known to man-kind to get my dishes to sparkle. Thinking back to when we first set foot in this house, I took one look at the Bosch dishwasher and was signing hallelujahs. I thought that our high end dishwasher would not have the problem of water marks, cloudy glassware, and murky silverware. Boy was I wrong. It has taken me 3 years to find the right product to correct what I now know is hard water build up. I love this product, so much so, I just had to blog about it. I know there must be more of us out there, that are longing for that sparkling glass and shiny silverware.

Lemi Shine removes tough hard water buildup and film from dishes, glassware, and flatware while it cleans and deodorizes automatic dishwashers.

The best part is that it is an environmentally friendly product, does not contain phosphates and even the packaging is recyclable. What are the ingredients you might ask? Simply, real fruit acids, natural citus oils and fragrances, that’s it! To buy Lemi Shine directly, you can go to www.lemishine.com.  We’d like to thank Lemi Shine for giving us the opportunity to review their product.

If I had the choice, I would just live there.  I love beautiful fabrics and the possibilities that await within them. I am a particular  fan of the Nani Iro Fuccra fabric by Kokka. Naomi Ito is the amazing Japanese designer who makes fabric seem more like a water color painting than fabric. Her designs bring back a time of simplicity, when the art of crafting and sewing was a necessity, rather than a choice. As we edge deeper into this 21 st century, I urge you take the time out to have a cup of tea, slow the afternoon down and play with this simple and feminine fabric. This fabric would be darling for little girl dresses, skirts & more. Her new 2010 collection can be found at Matatabi.

She even makes these sweet little wooden buttons.
