She's a modern day St Nicholette. I love to hear these serindipitous stories. It's nice to know that there are still people that care about our environment. Mxx READ ME NOW! - Blog Entry01 Oct 2006 04:22 PM Hi Jamie - I'm really looking forward to the Newberry series. Kids books are a huge interest of mine - from a bibliotherapeutic point of view. I like to keep up with the trends and know what children find motivating, interesting and stimulating. I would also love to see interviews with authors - what their journey has been like, why they write in their genre, how they got their lucky publishing break, etc. Good luck with it all. "You're talking about bugs again?" Obsessions and Asperger's Disorder - Blog Entry01 Oct 2006 04:01 PM Kristyn thank you. Very good article. When my son starts with the randoms, that turn to obsessions, it drives me to distraction. My veins feel scratchy like they have bugs crawling in them! I bite my tounge and cope. All points in secondry interests resonated with me. Mary Poppins was Written by a Child in Need of Protection. - Blog Entry01 Oct 2006 01:57 PM Hey Jamie, if you click on the Mary Poppins author link above it takes you to a comprehensive article from The New Yorker Fact, Life and letters, Becoming Mary Poppins, P.L. Travers, Walt Disney and the making of a myth, by Caitlin Flanagan. I'm about to go to Maryborough to facilitate some Protective Play training.

I will be visiting her memorial when in Maryborough. Mary Poppins was Written by a Child in Need of Protection. - Blog Entry01 Oct 2006 12:14 AM You're welcome Lisa. My article has only touched the sides of Travers' life. I LOVE Mary Poppins. The more research I've done on the author the heavier my heart has felt for her and the greater appreciation I have of what Walt Disney has done. Miss Your Favorite TV Show? - Blog Entry30 Sep 2006 07:10 PM That's interesting Emily. I never really knew how the adds worked. I've often seen them as a pain. Homeschooling Sectarianism & How It Hurts Us - Blog Entry30 Sep 2006 06:11 PM Some interesting thoughts Valorie. You appear to have captured a balanced view. Polarization of any issue makes the end goal harder to achieve. However, all roads lead to Rome, so walking different paths to get to the same page is welcome in my book. Non practicing Christians, people of different faiths and left wingers are not bad people. Like you, I can only imagine that they want a decent and balanced education for their kids. It's a shame that both groups are separate in their struggle for the same end. Fashion Finds: Celebrity Kid's Clothes-Would You Buy It For Your Child? - Blog Entry30 Sep 2006 04:45 PM Do they need ironing? I'm afraid my unfashionably happy children have to wear what's clean, available, and fits well enough to be passable. The Power of Loving to Learn - Blog Entry30 Sep 2006 01:26 PM When my youngest child asks if something is "educational" (yep, said in a monotone of disinterest) I always answer, "No, not educational, just fun, do you think we shouldn't do it?" Works like a treat every time. Barbara's Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies - Blog Entry29 Sep 2006 11:53 PM Tristi, please excuse my Aussie difference, but, what is a "c"? I figure the 't' is teaspoon??? Also, could canned pumpkin be substitued by real pumpkin? I'm not sure I've ever seen canned pumpkin but fresh pumpkin is everywhere. I want to make these, they sound great. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 |
