Lifetime Garden Box: Day One-1-

My parents has asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I said nothing. Then one day I was on Amazon looking for something I could grow my veggies in and came across this Lifetime Garden Box. The box is on the left sidebar. This is awesome and it took nothing to set up. I loved when it arrived. The box was lightweight and was easy to carry to the backyard, open up and take out all the parts.

The best thing about this garden box is it will not rot and it has this tent over the soil, with a zipper. I am slowly growing veggies right now and once they get big enough to transplant, they are going to on into my new Lifetime Garden Box.

Anyway, back to what I was going to talk about. When the box arrived, I showed my twins and we opened it up together in the backyard. They had a blast cutting open the box, sitting on the box, pulling out the parts for the box and oh yes, playing in the box. Oh yeah, even at 7 years old, my twins still love playing in and on boxes. Are you kids still like this?

After all the parts were laid out, I began reading the directions.






 
 
 
 

 
 
My twins, they love doing projects and this is just another one for them to tackle. I am wondering if they will be this way when they get older. This is what we accomplished after opening the box. Then we came back before the sun went down to put the puzzle together.

Owning a formal dress is important. One never knows when they will need to wear a formal dress. With all the events in life, a young lady will need at least one formal dress in their closet. These are just some events in life where formal dresses might be necessary:
  • Wedding
  • Prom
  • Evening
  • Cocktail
  • Homecoming
  • Graduation
  • Formal
This list can go on, but these are just several events in life where a formal dress is, more likely than not, to be worn. Formal dresses come in a variety of colors and styles to. This makes looking for a formal dress exciting. It is nice to have more than one choice when looking for a formal dress.

The color of formal dresses range from white, green, blue, yellow, pink, red and purple. These colors are all popular, especially when they come in the perfect design.  Color is a powerful tool, especially when it comes to clothing. Once the gown color is choose, it is easy to choose the design. They both go hand in hand. Some gowns are floor length, short to the knees, strapless, v-neck, sheath, princess style, mermaid, ball gown and many others.

Formal dresses of today are far removed from dresses forty to fifty years ago. As the times change, so to do the formal dress style, design and colors.

Trusting Schools to Keep Your Children Safe

As parents of children in the public school system, we put our kids on the bus in the morning trusting that they will make it home to us safely at the end of the school day, with very little control of what happens once the bus pulls away. We trust the bus driver to get them where they need to be safely, the school authorities to keep the school grounds secure and the teachers to push our children to learn. We trust the cafeteria staff to keep the food clean and sanitary, healthy and nutritious. We trust that no harm will come to our children while they are away. Unfortunately in these times, this is not always the case.

1. Bullying - This topic usually doesn't stir up much concern until there has already been an incident of bullying involving your child. By better educating our children on forms of bullying and how to respond to them, we can prevent violent responses and emotional scarring. We can also help prevent future occurrences of bullying by informing our children of the detrimental consequences of bullying other children.

2. Drugs/Weapons in Schools - The issues of drugs being offered to our children and weapons being brought onto school grounds are often topics that make parents uncomfortable, leaving our children unaware of the possibilities of danger and how to react when these situations arise. Children are better able to respond to situations when they are informed, and who better to inform them than their parents?

3. Discipline - There should be no question about the discipline policy your child's teacher uses in the classroom. If there is, it is your responsibility as a parent to ask questions. I had to ask my kindergartner's teacher how she handles children who act out in class because my daughter can be hard to handle at times. She explained her methods to me and eased my mind. If there is anything you disagree with, you can talk it over with the teacher. If this doesn't resolve the issue, take it to the next level of authority, because we certainly do not want our children receiving the wrong forms of discipline at school. The child also needs to understand the forms of discipline in their classroom and if possible, this should be followed up at home.

The bottom line is that we all need to be proactive in our children's education and we need to stay well-informed. This leaves less room for error and helps to keep our children safe when we cannot be with them. Prepare them for the dangers that lurk around every corner. We have to set them free someday.
