We attended a screening of The Secret World of Arrietty last weekend and my daughter has since been trying to dress like and act like Arrietty. Today she wore a chip clip in her hair (to school!) which shows that my usually timid and quiet baby is trying to be brave and adventerous, like Arrietty!
Way to go Madelyn! I’m so proud of you!

Bill O’Reilly made what I consider to be a very disrepectful statement about singer Whitney Houston, only two days after her body was discovered in a hotel room.
During a segment on “The O’Reilly Factor” Monday, Bill O’Reilly stated that because Whitney Houston was taking so many medications, she was “trying to kill herself”. WHAT? He also said that “doctors were to blame for willingly prescribing her so many medications.”
“Whitney Houston wanted to kill herself. Nobody takes drugs for that long if they want to stay on the planet.”
Watch the segment when Bill O’Reilly makes this statement, below:
Whitney may have been depressed, like many people, but I strongly disagree with Mr. O’Reilly’s statement that she ‘wanted to kill herself’. Or Whitney Houston may have been using drugs for recreational purposes, which I do not condone but it’s a possibility, right?
What do you think about O’Reilly’s statement?
Valentine’s Day and other holidays provide your child the opportunity to express her appreciation for what her teacher does every day. While your child’s teacher surely appreciates a card, chocolates or flowers, personalized Post-it notes are a fun and memorable way for your child to say thank you to her teacher.
While you’re at the site, why not personalize a set for your sweetheart, or your children for Valentine’s Day, an upcoming birthday or just because? It’s a special way to say “I love you,” and they’ll be reading your message each time they write on a Post-it Note.
Cards are usually put in the recycle bin or thrown away within a day or two after they’re received, and chocolates also don’t last very long. Other gifts may get put on a shelf and forgotten, but people rely on Post-it Notes every day for reminders, bookmarks, refrigerator messages and countless other uses. Personalized Post-it Notes are great ideas for holidays, especially if you have a number of people you want to reach out to.
If you have a small business, consider sending your clients holiday greetings with a gift that will keep you constantly in mind. This effective and unobtrusive form of advertising is very reasonably priced and can lead to increased orders.
My 5 year old daughter is not a procrastinator. As soon as she finds out that she’s been assigned to do something at school, she does it. Getting ready for Valentine’s Day has been no exception. She is in Kindergarten and has never shared Valentine’s that she made before so she’s very excited about Valentine’s Day and couldn’t wait to get to crafting when we had a few extra hours yesterday.
We have an HP Photosmart Premium Touchscreen printer that allows us to print activities, coloring pages, writing paper, and craft templates right from the printer. My kids love to go to the printer and browse the latest activity pages and coloring pages. My Mom has the same printer and actually found the Valentine’s Day icon on the touchscreen and printed a few Valentine’s Heart Clasp Box templates out for my daughter and I to try out. I spent the next hour cutting the box templates out after printing them on cardstock. We settled on making seven boxes. One for each of her teachers and an extra in case one of us messed up.
Here’s the Valentine’s Day Heart Clasp Box template:
You can print the Valentine’s Box template here.
After putting the boxes together, we dropped a few Hershey’s Kisses and SweetTarts in them.
I hope you enjoy this Valentine’s Day craft as much as my daughter and I did! These make great gifts for teachers and friends!
