Nature's Capricious Kiss

Farming, I have concluded, is intrinsically a treasure hunt.  There are buried things already present there -- minerals, trace minerals, fungi, worms, bacteria and all manner of other life forms -- joined at some point by the seeds and transplants that you add to the mix.  With any luck -- and some careful tending -- it all translates into a totally new kind of treasure, buried or out there in full view that both nourishes and delights.

And this is the pirate season -- passing among the rows, pilfering the wealth that you may have nudged along but did not create.  The leaves and fruits are wondrous enough, and we have been consumed with pickling spices, brines, sterilizing, chopping, slicing, stewing, blanching, canning and freezing.  But recent days have literally taken us subterranean.  Yellowing foliage signaled an invitation to dig garlic -- all 120 feet of it.  We dug and pulled and gathered and ultimately arranged the stalks on tables in the barn in the drying breeze of two fans.  And then yesterday, before the rains commenced, a similar clue was offered among the potato rows.

There are eight rows of potatoes -- each about 15 feet long.  Unlike the garlic which, though indeed beneath the surface and out of sight, is nonetheless flagged by a stalk in a one-to-one ratio, potatoes are a true treasure hunt.  A single seed potato might produce a dozen potatoes.  Or not.  It isn't known until it's dug.  In years past I could have competed for the State Fair's "smallest potato" blue  ribbon.  Pea sized, a few marble sized and an ever so rare "real potato" the size of a golf ball, it was more the curiosity animated by sheer determination that intrigued me rather than the elusive harvest.  But I have kept trying -- better preparing the soil to nourish and loosen so that the tubers stood a better chance.  Yesterday was my first chance to see if gold was literally buried there.  Yukon Gold to be precise, and Red Thumb that had been planted in the last third of the row.  Stabbing a spade along the side of the row to break up the cover, I pulled faded stalks and ran fingers beneath the clods; exploring.

And struck it rich.  A five-gallon bucket filled with the Golds and half a bucket with the Reds now, like the garlic, spread before the fans to dry and cure a bit before sampling.  In the coming weeks we will see what might be excavated from the remaining rows, but just this one was satisfying delight.

And then, making one more pass among the tomato vines as the sky darkened and the drops began to fall, I found one more surprise -- a tomato anomaly; a mutant, I suppose, or a twin...or a heart shaped delight -- dangling there to impress upon me yet again that harvest is not a mechanized manufacture -- a designed and endlessly duplicated widget repetitively spit out of a machine -- but nature's whimsically capricious kiss.  And the best fruit of all... the smile on my face as I lug the baskets and the buckets back to the kitchen.

The Burden of Honoring the Treasure That It Is

It was our first act of "saving the season".  Lori this morning made pickles.  I'm not sure of the quantity -- I was busy weeding among the okra plants -- but based on the number of cucumbers we've stuffed into the refrigerator in recent days a safe estimation would be "lots".  Confessionally speaking, we don't really eat that many pickles, and these are the quick refrigerator pickles that have a chilled shelf life of six weeks.  But what else are you going to do?  We have all this harvest -- the fruit of careful seed selection, sore muscles and hours of attention -- and we are headed out of town for a few days, every passing one of which degrades the value of what we've picked.  And while they are crazy about the occasional cucumber treat, the chickens don't need a steady diet of them.  Maybe it is "kicking the can down the road," but this morning's pickles buy us a little time.

We have yet to come up with concomitant plans for the squash, the kale, the collards and the chard.

All of which reveals the tertiary challenge of gardening.  First there is the locational challenge -- choosing a site and preparing the soil.  Fast on the heals of location comes the environmental challenge -- making sure the plants have adequate water, ample sunlight, protection from insects and disease and encroaching weeds.  And then there is the harvest challenge:  what's the plan for all this stuff that grows?

One can, to borrow an economic example, employ the cash flow model -- simply eating the harvest as it comes in -- and in the early weeks of summer this is an exhilarating strategy.  Pick it, cook it; simple as that.  But unless you garden in a wheelbarrow, it isn't long before the abundance begins to bury you.  Yesterday alone I brought in a dozen large squashes, and a like number of cucumbers.  Similarly, the day before.  And we have been eating our weight in kale.  But there is a limit, and we are only two, plus as much company as we can invite over.  Some savings plan becomes a priority.

Hence, the pickles.
And the blanched chard stowed in the freezer.
And, when they ripen, pounds of tomatoes converted into salsa, ketchup, tomato paste and marinara cooked, canned or frozen.

The old books speak of it as "putting food by" and at the very least exemplifies the Aesopian ant's wisdom of planning for the future so as not to go hungry when the pickings are more bare.  It is, indeed, prudence, and winter surely is coming -- never mind this morning's sweat-soaked shirt and regardless of what the meteorologists are forecasting for the next 7 days.  But I suggest the more descriptive and relevant virtue of this discipline is stewardship.

Our culture doesn't have a lot to show in this regard.  We manufacture cheaply, assuming we'll soon throw whatever it is away.  We buy huge jugs of milk because it's cheaper that way, but let it sour in the refrigerator door from disuse.  By the time we've pared off the skins and blemishes and ends and stalks of the vegetables in our recipes our trashcans contain more than our skillets.  We live amidst great abundance, but the curse of surplus is the absence of any real compulsion to squeeze the most out of what we have.  Even our pioneering forebears who, it must be said, certainly didn't have a lot, cultivated a field until they used it up and then abandoned it and moved a little further west because the one abundance around was land.  Municipalities invest precious resources into roads sidewalks and bridges and sewers and then fail to set aside the funds to maintain them.  A careful and critical walk around most church buildings -- liturgical gold spun from offertory straw -- will have little difficulty noticing stained ceilings, crumbling plaster, frayed carpet and worn floors.  As stewards -- those who take responsible care of what we have -- we have more to learn than to teach.

And the garden, right now, is ringing the school bell.  "What," it is asking me, "will you do with all I am giving you?"

The ant, I suppose, would have thought this through in the spring when the seeds were first in the ground.  But I still have time to think my way through the possibilities -- but only a little.  Today it's the cucumbers and the squash and the greens, but it won't be long before those okra plants I weeded around this morning start calling my name with an urgent note in their voice...

...and the beets and the peppers and the cabbage and the potatoes and the tomatoes and...

Because it only starts with the planting and the growing.  The deliciously burdensome and exciting but also sacred work settles in with the harvest.

Putting food by.

Honoring the treasure that it is.

Choosing the Space At Hand

It's a weed, really, sprung up between the greenhouse and the barn.  We've tried to keep such areas trimmed and cleared through the months, but recent weeks have narrowed the focus of our extrications to cultivated rows.  It's summer, and the garden is a pretty busy place.  In fact, if you turn your ear just right and listen very carefully you can hear the weeds growing through the garden rows, overtaking like some scary science fiction thriller.  We don't use chemicals to suppress the invasion, so hoes and hands in liberal amounts are required to give the seeds and stems we've actually planted a fighting chance.

A couple of days ago, however, we needed a diversion and focused on a different part of the property -- planting several frilly and flowering trees and shrubs in a corner we are just developing for looking, this time, rather than eating.  Afterwards, but in that same spirit of beautification, indulging a fit of horticultural bloodlust, Lori was in the midst of whacking down some unsightly encroachments when something caught her attention in this particular head-high weed and stilled her loppers.  A closer look revealed a nest.
Nestled in this weed.
Populated with hungry and gaping mouths.

Let me review the relevant data:  a 5-foot weed, having sprouted in the 2-foot gap between the greenhouse and the barn, hosting a nest that cradled newly hatched birds.

A few years ago we spent a week in a cooking school in a small Italian town, taught each day by the women of that ancient Tuscan village.  Their kitchen equipment reflected the same philosophy as their recipes:  "Use what you have."  Utterly foreign was the thought of cluttering up the kitchen countertops and cabinets with single-use gewgaws -- as foreign, we would learn, as narrowly insisting on a specific set of ingredients for a recipe, or throwing away leftovers.  "Use what you have," we heard time and time again -- or at least that's the way the translator rendered it.

Which makes me think our birds must be Italian.  Americans are far too picky and we waste almost as much as we use.  Our burdening questions center on what we want, not what we have; on what would be fun, not on what would be most functional.  We pick our nesting places carefully and jealously, with eyes for glitter and rooms with a view.  Not so, this mother bird.  To my way of thinking she had alternative options.  There are, after all, plenty of trees from which to choose -- short ones, tall ones, fruited ones, thorned ones.  But for whatever reason the mother chose this weed in which to build a nest and lay her eggs -- sturdy enough, I suppose, and somewhat protected from wind and mischief but hardly high or failsafe.  But that little corridor, and that tall green intruder was not only what she had but what she chose to use.

I suspect I'll think of that nest, those hungry and parted beaks, and that mother's ingenuity the next time some garden gadget starts calling my name, or the need to have it all "just right."  Wedged into that cluttered space, that weed was the cradle of life.  It may not have been scenic; it offered precious little view, but it sufficed.  It was safe, secluded and accessible, and it was enough.

Which, of course -- as it turns out to be in most things -- makes it perfect.

Grow strong little peeps.  May you grow up to be as wise as your mother.

Early Gleanings from Sweat-Watered Seeds

We've been cutting lettuce for awhile now – a salad smattering of eight different varieties we planted in large fabric containers on the deck; lettuce, and the trio of radish varieties. Together, as spring’s early arrivals,  they have been functional foretastes of the summertime feast to come.  Jazzed with the miscellaneous herbs sharing the morning sun on the deck we have savored the tender reward for enduring the grocery store winter.  The kale has likewise been a welcomed addition to the stovetop, both the two varieties planted in mid-spring and the row from last fall that resurrected after winter.

In recent days, however, the harvest has kicked it up a notch – a few cucumbers among the three varieties climbing their trellises; squash of four varieties; and cherry tomatoes. Their larger counterparts are swelling and hanging alluringly on the plants, but are yet too green to even consider frying.  We've learned to wait.  The blackberries are ripening, and surely the peppers won't be too far behind, along with the okra and eventually the potatoes, though it remains an enduring mystery what will – or won't – become of the brassicas.

Just commencing, I realize with a smile, are the weeks that validate all the planning, all the ordering, all the seeding and babying and digging and hoeing:  countertops covered with the morning’s offering; magical lunches and dinners, and eventually steam rattling the lid of the canning pot when the ingathering overwhelms us, and later, that magical “pop” of the lids securing their contents.

Just now giddily underway, the season of harvest.

It feels a bit that way about our life here on the farm.  Four years ago we left our lovely town home perched on a hill in the city and moved to these acres we christened “Taproot Garden.”  Moving anywhere from anywhere is, I'm convinced, the hardest work in the world, and so our initial endeavors focused largely on homemaking – unpacking, hanging pictures, rearranging, walking around, exploring, living; the usual nesting investments necessary for transforming a living space into a home.  Eventually we expanded our interventions – trimming branches here, removing a tree there; assembling a greenhouse, accumulating some tools and equipment, and finally sowing a few seeds.  In subsequent years we have reached out a little further and dug down a little deeper into this ongoing education; adding, subtracting, experimenting,partnering, reading – always reading something else to learn something more about what we are doing or to explore an idea for we are considering undertaking.

And it feels like the harvest is beginning. Some of those early seeds are finally fruiting.  Others look promising.  Scattered on the countertops of our souls is a nice and nourishing collection of early pickings.  And it feels good.

None of which, of course, offers any permission to sit back and wait for the ripening.  I, who yet knows almost nothing about what we are doing out here, have already learned that much.  Incalculable hours of weeding are out there in front of us, along with an eye to the sky and a readiness for compensatory watering; that, plus vigilant anticipation of and preparations for  the bugs that are surely on their way.

We, and the garden, are really just getting started.  Summer, in more ways than one, is still young.

That said, it's nice to start seeing how our sweat has watered the seeds, and to start eating a few of the things we've planted.

Book Review of Dancing with the Devil (The Thorne Trilogy Book 3) by R.K. Ryals

Book Title: Dancing with the Devil (The Thorne Trilogy Book 3)
Genre: YA Paranormal Romance
Pages: 128
Author: R.K. Ryals
Date Published: 31 October 2014

***Due to language, violence, and sexual content, this book is suggested for older readers***

Falling ash. Subservient Hellhounds. Dark mirrors and ticking clocks. Such is the life of a daughter of Hecate living in Hell...

Monroe Jacobs isn't your typical witch. She is strong, her powers growing with each passing day. They are powers that beckon, powers coveted by many, including the man she loves.

Luther Craig is a remorseless Demon ruler in Hell. Governing a kingdom once presided over by his mother, the she-demon Lilith, Luther has everything he's ever wanted. Power.
But his kingdom is at risk, his newfound strength a challenge to the Princes of Hell.

Theirs is a strange relationship, the witch and the Demon, full of passion and need. It's a relationship that will be tested by the worst kind of obstacles--pride, covetousness, lust, anger, gluttony, envy, and sloth.

For in the ash-filled shadows of Hell, the Princes are preparing for war. Luther isn't the only one who wants power and a blonde-haired witch. He'll have to face the Seven Deadly Sins to keep both.

Dancing with the Devil (The Thorne Trilogy, #3)Dancing with the Devil by R.K. Ryals
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the Thorne Trilogy. I loved it!

Monroe Jacobs is a fantastic character! I loved her when I first met her in Redemption (The Redemption Trilogy). She is the best friend of Dayton Blainey. She also happens to be a witch, a very talented one, who is now tied to Luther "Thorne" Craig, a hybrid demon.

Luther Craig is a complex character. He is very arrogant, power hungry and decidedly sexy! He is also attracted to Monroe (and her soul) more than he would like. I was unsure about this character when I met him in the Redemption series, but getting to know this contrary demon has been great fun!

I have been wanting to read this book for some time, but due to a rather large reading list, it has taken me longer to get to read it than I would have liked.

I started to read it and was hooked from the first page; I read the book in one sitting. The story is full of action and danger, and kept me turning the pages.

Luther is still power hungry, even after winning his mother's kingdom, and even I was surprised at how ambitious his plans were in acquiring more. Monroe is still a powerful witch, but she will have to embrace all of her inherited power to be with Luther and keep them alive from the seven Princes of Hell, who reign over the territories relating to the deadly sins: Pride, Covetousness, Lust, Anger, Gluttony, Envy, and Sloth.

Monroe and Luther have a chemistry that burns white hot, even in Hell, and fairly scorches the pages! Their love is passionate and intense. But, they both seem to thrive on it. Some of the bedroom scenes are a little on the explicit side, but not explicitly graphic.

I found myself rooting for a demon against other demons. I'm not sure that this is normal, but Luther is one of the "bad boys" that seems more good than bad - better the devil (or demon in this case) you know. He may be evil, but he has a charisma that makes him a compelling character and I can see why Monroe is in love with him. I too have a soft spot for him, along with his brother Marcus. There is something about bad boys that women find irresistible. It must be a hold over from the primitive "survival of the fittest" gene. However, these boys are definitely knee trembling, even if they are a little darker than the norm.

The ending was a little bittersweet. I was sad to reach the end of the book, as it is always sad to say goodbye to characters in a series. However, the story finished satisfactorily and left me feeling happy. I am now looking forward to read more about the Craig brothers (Marcus and Luther) in the fourth book in the Redemption series, Revelation as soon as it is released.

R.K. Ryals has written another fantastic YA Paranormal Romance Series. She is one of my favourite authors, and I will read anything written by her. I love her fast paced writing style and the flow was wonderful. However, my only complaint is that I felt that this story was a lot shorter than the previous two books and could have been a bit longer!

Due to the use of bad language and violence, as well as scenes of a sexual nature that are a little explicit, I do not recommend this book to younger readers (under 17). But, I HIGHLY recommend this series if you love YA Paranormal Romances with demons, angels, gargoyles, witches and strong characters that come alive on the page. I also highly recommend that you read The Redemption Series (to find out how it all began) and Acropolis Series (Conor Reinhardt's story) too. - Lynn Worton

Capture.  Store.  Beneficially Utilize.

For all of your non-drinking water needs.

  • Irrigation
  • Wash cars & bikes
  • Fill hot tubs & pools
  • Plumb in for toilets

Other Benefits

  • Minimize your community impact
  • Irrigate during municipal restrictions
  • Homeowner independence
  • Natural disaster preparedness i.e. earthquakes, wildfires

TBI Irrigation is excited to introduce rainwater harvesting to the Sea to Sky Corridor as part of our water conservation and sustainability initiative.  Rainwater harvesting is the practice of capturing, storing and beneficially utilizing rainwater at it's source, unlike the current system, where it is swiftly swept away into stormwater where it is deemed useless and wasted.  An increase in water demand due to growing tourism and population, coupled with the decrease in supply due to the depleting snow pack in our area over the past few years is reason enough to start thinking ahead. Capturing rainwater in the Sea to Sky Corridor, both residentially and commercially, plays a large role in the future sustainability of this area which continues to gain popularity, for both long term living and tourism.

Fact: Every 10mm rain on 200 sq. meter roof = 1600+ Litres of usable non-potable water.

Be part of the solution!

"About one-third of potable water is used on average for landscapes across Canada – a huge demand on a finite resource, and a waste of many investment dollars in infrastructure and treatment.  Rainwater harvested at source and used for landscape applications, could be a major factor in reducing costs for upgrading and extending municipal piping systems, and for utilizing non-treated rainwater where rainwater is perfectly suited."

San Anselmo

San Anselmo

Tom says:

San Anselmo is one of my favorite Marin towns. It has gentrified considerably since I spent summers here in the late 60's and early 70's, and many of the everyday necessity shops downtown have been replaced by boutiques and cafes. But it retains its small town feel. It is a happy mixture of modern capitalists and 60's anti-establishment boomers. One can find great coffee, gelato, and antiques all downtown. On the outskirts one finds Redhill Shopping Center with all the daily necessities, and United Market, a great locally owned supermarket. The town has a bit of something for everyone.

Wikipedia says:

San Anselmo is an incorporated town in Marin County, California, in the western United States. San Anselmo is located 1.5 miles (2.4 km) west of San Rafael, at an elevation of 46 feet (14 m). It is located about 20 miles (32 km) north of San Francisco. Neighboring towns include San Rafael to the east, Fairfax to the west, and Ross to the south. Mount Tamalpais dominates the view to the south. The population was 12,336 at the 2010 census.

StoryTime at the Library

My Penguin Osbert StoryTime

I love that my library had a My Penguin Osbert StoryTime today.  Story time is such a crucial part of a child’s life.  It is so important that we read to our kids, and by incorporating story time each day, we create a positive environment for our children. Story time is great because it shows children that reading is fun and really engages them in the books being read.  Story time goes beyond simply reading books.  It makes reading an exciting adventure for children.

Howie and Skip

Today, I was able to be the guest reader at my local library’s story time.  Howie and Skip tagged along to sing their favorite song and hear the story. (They mostly sat in the chair and looked cute.) I always treasure the opportunity to share my love of books with kids and reading to them is so much fun.  I’d love to travel around and host Howie & Skip StoryTime sessions, but for now we’ve created the Howie and Skip StoryTime videos.  That way your child can enjoy a personal StoryTime in the comfort of their home.

Anyway,  I thought I’d share my experience with you in hopes that it encourages you to begin you own story time.  You can read what we did and do the same, or just use this as inspiration.

(This post contains an affiliate link.)

1. Start With A Song

Counting Book

One of the best ways to begin your story time is with a few simple songs.  We always start by playing a few interactive songs.  This allows the children to get out their energy so that when it’s time to read they will sit quietly.  We played “The Monkey & Alligator Song,” “The Bean Bag Song,” and the MonkiSee “StoryTime Theme Song.”  The kids always love to clap their hands, shake their maracas, and follow along with the hand motions.

2. Read A Story

StoryTime Reading

Today our story time was themed around penguins.  Since we were reading “My Penguin Osbert,” we had a big penguin stuffed animal at the front of the room for the kids to see.  Before I began reading, we handed out raffle tickets to all the children.  They each placed their tickets into a container and were told that at the end of the story we were going to raffle off the penguin.  Whoever had their ticket chosen would win the stuffed animal.

“My Penguin Osbert” is a cute story about a little boy who asks Santa for a real penguin for Christmas.  When he gets his penguin Osbert, he’s super excited, but as time goes on he’s not sure he asked for the right present.

*If you’re reading this story at home, you can really make this a fun experience.  While you read the story, let your child sip on hot cocoa and wrap up in warm blankets.  You could go all out and even decorate the room where you are reading – cut out snowflakes, make the room chilly, and create an atmosphere that fits the story.

Penguin Prize

Once I finished reading the story, we raffled the tickets.  Andrea was our winner! She loved her prize. It was so cute to see her dragging her giant penguin around the library. It was as big as some of the kids!

3. Make A Craft

Penguin Craft

A great way to end your story time is by making a fun craft.  We printed out a penguin coloring page for the kids to color.  If you have younger children, you may want to keep the crafts relatively simple.  However, if your child is a bit older, you can have fun helping them create a craft that’s more complex.

Penguin Coloring Page

Here is a cute penguin coloring page for your child to color.

Soda Bottle Penguin

This Soda Bottle Penguin is super cute and simple to make. If your child is older they will love making this craft. You may need to help them with the cutting and gluing, but it’s very easy to make.

Reading to kids is so much fun.  You can really make story time an exciting experience.  I’d love to hear about your story time.  Do you make crafts or snacks?  What are your favorite books to read to your child?  Please comment below and share your ideas with us.  We’d love to hear them!

Todo Sobre Mi

Your child can easily learn Spanish with the right tools and method.  If you’re looking for a “teach baby Spanish DVD”, then we have just what you need.  The new MonkiSee video “Todo Sobre Mi” is the perfect place to start your journey in teaching your baby Spanish.  Before I tell you more about this Spanish DVD for babies, let’s briefly discuss the importance of learning Spanish.

Do you want to teach your child Spanish?

Nowadays, it is such an asset to be bilingual.  If you can speak multiple languages, you have quite an advantage.  The ability to speak more than one language will advance you in school, in your career, in your intellectual understanding, and in many other ways.  You never know when the need may arise for you to speak Spanish.

With 329 million native speakers, Spanish ranks as the world’s No. 2 language in terms of how many people speak it as their first language.” – Gerald Erichsen

Teaching your child Spanish, is a blessing they will enjoy throughout all their life.  Whether you want them to communicate with Spanish-speaking family and friends, be prepared for traveling to another country, or are simply developing your child’s skills for future careers, teaching your baby Spanish is one of the greatest gifts you can give them.

So, if you want to teach your child Spanish, now is the time to begin.  The younger you start the better.  That is why we have designed an effective Spanish video for teaching children from the age of three months to three years old.

What is “Todo Sobre Mi?”

MonkiSee "Todo Sobre Mi"

When you hear the benefits of being bilingual and know that Spanish is a dominant language, it is definitely exciting to discover that your baby can easily learn it. MonkiSee has just released their first “teach baby Spanish DVD,” and we know you’re going to love it!

With the new MonkiSee DVD, “Todo Sobre Mi,” your child will begin their introduction into the Spanish language in a fun and delightful way.  As the name implies, children will learn – “All About Me.”  They will be taught the body parts and familiar first words in Spanish.  To most effectively teach your baby Spanish, we use the total immersion method.  For a full thirty minutes, your child will hear a native speaker narrating while they watch the actions play out on screen.

As with all of the MonkiSee videos, children will learn along with monkey brothers, Howie and Skip.  Babies will definitely be entertained as they watch the silly monkeys learning together. MonkiSee makes learning fun by engaging children throughout the videos.

Todo Sobre Mi” is filled with puppet skits, upbeat and original songs, children, animals, poetry, and much more.  It’s the perfect way to begin introducing your child to a new language.  Whether your children have never heard a word of Spanish, or are being raised in a Spanish-speaking home, “Todo Sobre Mi” is perfect for every child.

We hope you’ll join us on this exciting journey in teaching babies Spanish.  To find out more about MonkiSee or purchase this video for your child, click here.

Best Poetry Books for Children

Best Poetry Books for Children

Finding the best poetry books for children can be difficult at times, and that is why today I’m sharing a list of my very favorite poetry books for children.  As an avid book reader and poetry lover, I have come across quite a few gems throughout my years of reading.  I am not a fan of all poetry books -they have to meet a certain standard for me.  Personally, I don’t care much for free verse or irregular meter.  I appreciate it when authors take the time to create perfect meter and really make their poems flow.  I love reading poems that have great meter from the beginning. You can just sense the rhythm as you read.

If you’ve had trouble finding great poetry books to read to your children, I hope this list will be a great help to you.  I am sharing the 20 Best Poetry Books for Children and I hope you will love them as much as I have.  Enjoy!

1. “Green Eggs and Ham” by Dr. Seuss

Green Eggs and Ham

I had to begin my list of the best poetry books for children with a classic.  “Green Eggs and Ham” by Dr. Seuss has long been one of my very favorite books.  The simple rhyme scheme and playful story is one that has delighted children for years and years.  In this story, Sam I Am is trying to convince a quite disinterested character to try green eggs and ham.  He strongly protests – in rhyme of course – but will Sam I Am make him change his mind?

2. “But Not the Hippopotamus (Boynton on Board)” by Sandra Boynton

But Not the Hippopotamus

I have been reading my children this book since they were just babies.  Sandra Boynton has such a great writing style and her books are perfect for babies and young children.  In this simple book, all the animals are having fun together – but not the hippopotamus.  Throughout the book we see the poor, lonely hippo being excluded from all the fun.  Will she ever join the others?  Find out in the delightfully playful story.

3. “Is Your Mama a Llama?” by Deborah Guarino

Is Your Mama A Llama

Lloyd the llama can’t find his mama.  Where could she be? He asks his friends if their mama is a llama, but all of them say she is not.  Will Lloyd ever find his mother?  I’ve loved this book for as long as I can remember.  If your child enjoys picture books, then this is definitely one of the best poetry books for children.  It is simple, sweet, and easy to read. Find the story here.

4. “Time for Bed” by Mem Fox

Time for Bed

“It’s time for bed little cat, little cat.  So snuggle in tight, that’s right, like that.”

My children have always loved this bedtime story by Mem Fox.  This simple story is perfect to read to your child before bed.  In this lovable picture book, it’s time for the baby animals to go to sleep.  The sweet rhymes of each mama animal are sweet and soothing as you put your own child to bed.

5. “Mary Engelbreit’s Mother Goose: One Hundred Best-Loved Verses

Mary Engelbreit's Mother Goose

It’s all your favorite nursery rhymes in a whole new way!  Mary Engelbreit’s beautiful illustrations bring these classic rhymes to life.  This enchanting picture book will captivate your children.  Engelbreit’s pictures are bursting with fun color and lovable characters.  We’ve read this book so many times it’s quite worn and falling apart.  You may have read nursery rhymes before, but you’ve never read them like this.

6. “Falling for Rapunzel” by Leah Wilcox

Falling for Rapunzel

All of my children, from five to fifteen, love the princess books by Leah Wilcox.  They are some of the best poetry books for children – especially girls.  Poetry can be so fun, and Leah Wilcox does an amazing job of showing that with her fun books.  With a creative twist, Wilcox tells the classic fairytales in a whole new way.  This is not your average princess story.  Rapunzel is in no need of rescuing and apparently not hoping for true love.  This silly story will have your children laughing together as you read the story of the hard of hearing rapunzel, her cute maid, and the unfortunate prince who turns out to be quite pleased.

7. “Waking Beauty” by Leah Wilcox

Waking Beauty

You’ve heard of “Sleeping Beauty,” but have you ever read “Waking Beauty” by Leah Wilcox?  Having read and loved her book “Falling for Rapunzel,” we began searching for more of her books.  We were all so delighted to find that she had written another silly princess story.  We all know the prince must kiss the princess to wake her from her sleep, but unfortunately… he doesn’t know that.  Will Sleeping Beauty sleep forever, or will the prince finally understand what the fairies are trying to tell him?

8. “Random House Treasury of Best-Loved Children’s Poems” by Patricia Klein

Treasury of Best Loved Children's Poems

I’ve shared a lot of picture books with you, so I wanted to mix in a few traditional poetry books that I love.  While the books I’ve mentioned above have mostly been stories, this is simply a book of poems.  When my children were very young, they received this book as a gift and we still have it to this day.  The jacket is gone, the cover has torn, but this precious book is still held together by some tape.  This truly is one of the best poetry books for children.  The “Treasury of Best-Loved Children’s Poems” is one of my very favorite poetry books for kids.  The rhymes are perfect for young children and the sweet simplicity of this book makes it great for a beginner in poetry.

9. “Now We Are Six (Winnie-the-Pooh)” by A.A. Milne

Now We Are Six

You may know of Winnie the Pooh, but have you ever read the original books by A. A. Milne?  They are phenomenal!  All of my children absolutely LOVE these books. Winnie the Pooh is a great favorite in our house.  We can’t seem to read one of his books without laughing uncontrollably.  The characters are so lovable, and Pooh is especially endearing.  Because of our great fondness for Winnie the Pooh, we decided to read A. A. Milne’s book of poems.  “Now We Are Six.”  Although these poems are not about Winnie the Pooh or his friends from the Hundred Acre Wood, we still enjoyed them immensely.

10. “A Camping Spree With Mr. Magee” by Chris Van Dusen

A Camping Spree With Mr. Magee

This book was recommended to me by a good friend of mine.  It’s a great rhyming picture book about Mr. Magee and his dog Dee and their adventures while camping.  The illustrations are fun for kids and the silly story will definitely delight your children.

11. “Wild About Books” by Judy Sierra

Wild About Books

“In a flash every beast in the zoo was stampeding, to learn all about this new something called reading.”

I happened to pick up this book one day when we were visiting our library.  Being the book-lover that I am, the title caught my attention.  Sure enough, this book is now one of my very favorites.  I  love everything about it.  The illustrations are so cute, and the story is absolutely wonderful.  When I was creating this list of the best poetry books for children, I knew this had to be on there.  When by mistake the librarian, Molly McGrew, drives her bookmobile into the zoo, the animals get wild about books.  This is a must-read for every child.  Not only does the story encourage children to read, but it may help them learn the names of some animals.

12. “A Child’s Garden of Verses” by Robert Louis Stevenson

A Child's Garden of Verses

Robert Louis Stevenson is one of the classic children’s poets, and so of course I had to include him in the best poetry books for children.  I love that he writes in a way that is relatable to children.  He writes as if he is a child speaking.  His poems are about being tucked into bed, or the little treasures he collected, or the adventures he imagines.  Stevenson’s classic poems are sweet and simple.  My children have always enjoyed them and they are essential in your personal storybook collection.

13. “The Llama Who Had No Pajama: 100 Favorite Poems” by Mary Ann Hoberman

The Llama Who Had No Pajama

I love Mary Ann Hoberman’s books.  “The Llama Who Had No Pajama,” is a collection of her poems about childhood and all things relating to children.  Kids will love reading about “The Birthday Bus,” or “Butterfish Bay” and all the other silly poems in this book.

14. “A House Is a House for Me” by Mary Ann Hoberman

A House Is A House for Me

I loved this book by the very first page.  It is, in my opinion, a poetry classic.  I love the repetitive rhythm of the story and the clever ways she opens a child’s eyes to see that everything has a home.  This beautiful book is the perfect read aloud and a great way to introduce children to poetry.

15. “How Do Dinosaurs Say Good Night?” by Jane Yolen

How Do Dinosaurs Say Good Night?

“How does a dinosaur say good night when Papa comes in to turn off the light?”

Mom and Dad say it’s time for bed, but will the dinosaurs listen?  My kids loved reading this story about the different dinosaurs and how they might respond when being put to bed.  Will they pout or slam their tail?  Children and parents will enjoy reading the crazy antics of the eleven dinosaurs in this bedtime story.

16. “Favorite Poems Old and New: Selected For Boys and Girls” by Helen Ferris

Favorite Poems Old and New

If you’re only ever going to buy one poetry book, this would it.  I have read many poetry books throughout my life, but if I could only have one, I would choose this collection.  “Favorite Poems Old and New” offers such a vast selection of poems.  You are sure to find at least on poem to your liking.  There is such a great variety in this collection.  The book includes over 700 poems from poets such as William Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, Langston Hughes, and many others.  I believe it is the most comprehensive poetry book for children.  I can’t recommend it highly enough.  If you want to begin introducing your child to poetry, be sure to read this book.

17. “Each Peach Pear Plum (Picture Puffins)” by Allan Ahlberg

Each Peach Pear Plum

In this delightfully engaging book, children play “I Spy” with familiar nursery rhyme characters.  Each page features a little poem encouraging the children to find the character hidden in the picture.  With it’s charming illustrations, and simple text, this book is great for beginning readers.  It’s the perfect book to read aloud with your child during story time.  Children will be exposed to simple rhymes while having fun searching for the hidden characters.

18. “The Christian Mother Goose Big Book” by Marjorie Ainsborough Decker

The Christian Mother Goose Big Book

“Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall; Humpty Dumpty shouted, “Amen! God can put me together again.”

“The Christian Mother Goose” is a wonderful rendition of the typical nursery rhymes.  I absolutely love it.  Instead of reading silly rhymes that really have no meaning, why not read children beautiful poems that point to our Lord?  I love the positive messages woven into each nursery rhyme.  Marjorie Ainsborough Decker did an amazing job at transforming the common nursery rhymes into praiseworthy poems that retain the fun and silliness of the originals, yet go beyond to teach good lessons, and encourage children.

19. “Mary Had a Little Lamp” by Jack Lechner

Mary Had a Little Lamp

It’s amazing how one letter can make all the difference.

I love books that take a different angle to the usual story.  It’s always fun to see how an author can add a creative twist to a common story.  In “Mary Had a Little Lamp,” Jack Lechner does just that.  You may have heard of Mary and her little lamb that would follow her around, but Mary’s lamp is another story altogether.  Children will love this silly storybook and it will definitely have them laughing by the end.

20. “I’ve Lost My Hippopotamus” by Jack Prelutsky

I've Lost My Hippopotamus

The last book I want to share with you, is one of my all-time favorites.  I believe it was sometime last year that I happened to discover the amazing Jack Prelutsky.  My children absolutely LOVE his poems.  You can’t even imagine how silly they are.  Prelutsky is the first Children’s Poet Laureate, so naturally he’s included on the list of best poetry books for children.  “I’ve Lost My Hippopotamus” was the first book we read by him, and we could barely put it down.  My kids would always beg me to read another one.  Children will love the pure silliness of Prelutsky.  His poems are unlike any other I’ve read.  I love that he maintains perfect meter and uses big words that help build vocabulary.  If you want to start a collection of the best poetry books for children, be sure to include this one.  It’s one you’ll be reading again and again.

I hope you enjoyed this list of the best poetry books for children.  These are all my favorites and I pray that they might bless your family as well.  I am always searching for more great books, and I would love to hear what you favorite poetry books are.  Please leave your recommendations in the comments below.  Thanks!

Please Bury Me in the Library – Book Review

Please Bury Me in the Library

A book that can summarize my feelings about books so exactly is worth mentioning.  I came across this book a few weeks ago and realized that this should be the epitaph inscribed on my tombstone when I die.  Oh, how blissful it would be, to spend eternity reading.  Please Bury Me in the Library is a really cute book of poems for kids. I really like the poem and thought I would share it here.

Please Bury Me in the Library Please bury me in the library
In the clean, well-lighted stacks
Of Novels, History, Poetry,
Right next to the Paperbacks, Where the Kids’ Books dance
With True Romance
And the Dictionary dozes.
Please bury me in the library
With a dozen long-stemmed proses. Way back by a rack of Magazines,
I won’t be sad too often,
If they bury me in the library
With Bookworms in my coffin.

If you like poetry books for kids, this is a short, sweet addition to add to your read alouds.  My kids and I really enjoyed it.  The poem What If Books Had Different Names inspired me to write a few new parodies myself.

Review Of Monkisee Action Words DVD

I was watching the MonkiSee Action Words DVD the other day.  I have not seen it for awhile and I have to say that I really enjoyed it.  It was funny and very entertaining.  Isn’t that the way learning should be?  I think so.  I cannot tell you how many times I laughed out loud.  The kids all gathered around with me to watch it and they enjoyed it as much as I did.  I decided that it was time to post a sample of the video again to remind everyone just how great the Action Words video is for teaching young children to read and move.  Click here to find out more about the MonkiSee DVDs and how they can help you teach your baby or young child to read in a fun and relaxing way.

The MonkiSee DVDs, flash cards, and books are a wonderful addition to your child’s library.  These products are funny. entertaining and educational for babies up to four years old.

Book Review Chameleon, Chameleon

This post may contain affiliate links.

I recently checked the book Chameleon, Chameleon
out from the library.  This book has stunningly beautiful pictures in it.  I just marveled over our great God who created this magnificent creature.  My daughter and I read this book several times and really enjoyed it. We enjoyed the narrative and we really liked the pictures.  This is a marvelous book and I highly recommend it to all kids who have any interest in learning more about chameleons.  There is another book by this same author called Red-eyed Tree Frog (Scholastic Bookshelf)  I plan to locate this book right now to read with my children.

MonkiSee DVD Review from

The following review was just posted on  The review was done by a reader of Home Education Magazine, one of my favorite homeschool magazines.

We reviewed the “Monki See” early learning DVD set that includes: Baby’s First Words, All About Colors, All About Shapes, Around the House, Action Words and On the Farm. After viewing all the DVD’s with my 2 and 4 year old, here is our review:

At first glance, I thought it was just going to be another version of “Your Baby Can Read”, but as we watched it we discovered this was a lot more exciting. The series is a fun and engaging way to introduce your pre-reader to the sights and sounds of the English language. My girls really enjoyed the cute storyline in each of the videos and were singing the theme song by the end of the first DVD. The puppets are adorable and the pictures for each word are delightful to watch.

Although the age recommendations for the videos are “3 months to four years,” I would recommend these videos more for the “pre-reading” crowd than young babies. The videos have a lot of action and sound effects, which kept the attention of my four year old, but would probably be overwhelming to a young baby. Also, most of the words are comparatively small on the screen and are only shown for a moment before disappearing, only to reappear at a different spot on the screen. Again, this kept my four year old very interested, but even my two year old had trouble following the words.

My four year old, who is learning to read, got the most out of these DVD’s. She got really excited when she recognized a word and tried to “participate” by answering all of the questions. Overall, I would definitely recommend this series: it was really fun to watch as a family and I loved that it is a homeschooling family and that she used her kids in the video. I would just recommend it for an older age group than the one printed on the box.

Color the Classics – Product Review

We have recently been using Color the Classics Godly Composers to learn more about the classical composers and their music.  This has been such a fun and rewarding adventure.  Coloring is something that my kids enjoy, and when they are required to color for school they like it even more.  We have been spending about 30 minutes per session working on a coloring page while we take in the beautiful music of the godly composers.

I really like this product, as do my children.  It includes a coloring book and a CD.  The book is broken up into sections featuring a particular composer.  For each coloring page there is a paragraph or two that gives more information about the composer’s life and work.  It is very well done.  If there is one adjustment I would make to the product it would be to say the name of the piece and the composer’s name before each song plays on the CD.  I think this would really cement the information into your brain.  I read this information to the kids from the CD case as each song changes.  Below is a sample of the information provided for each illustration.

We have learned about Vivaldi, Bach, Handel, and Haydn in this book.  I have been using this with my 6, 8 and 11 year old and they all like it very well.   They like to compare their pictures with each other and laugh at how they choose to color their pictures.  The artwork shown here is that of my 6 year old.

There are six different volumes of Color the Classics to choose from.  You can find out more at

I would definitely recommend these products if you are interested in learning more about the classical composers and their music.  You can print a sample page and listen to a sample song at

Review of MonkiSee Animals At the Farm DVD

Here is a post from the Brillkids Forum about the new MonkiSee Animals At the Farm DVD.

Recently, I received a copy of the new MonkiSee DVD “At the Farm”.   Honestly, I was unsure of how my son would enjoy it as their earlier DVDs concentrate on teaching vocabulary and he really has established a good command of the English language (relative to his age, of course).  While we have enjoyed and benefited from all of the earlier MonkiSee DVDs (including the Memoflix DVDs), and highly recommend them, I feared that my son’s knowledge had surpassed the linguistic level of MonkiSee’s target audience.

This DVD, however, is different from MonkiSee’s previous works.  It still teaches farm vocabulary, but its gold is in the encyclopedic knowledge it offers.  Within the first few minutes of the DVD, my son heard the word “ornithology” and it’s meaning (the scientific study of birds).  He (we) also learned that, contrary to popular belief, cows do NOT  have the ability to see the colour red,  and that one pound of sheep’s wool makes TEN MILES of yarn!  This DVD is just packed with interesting facts that even a big boy of the ripe age of “more than four and three quarters” finds enjoyable.

And, I should mention the music.  As I said earlier, we’ve been enjoying the MonkiSee DVDs for several years now and have had the privilege of seeing (hearing) the beautiful Guerrero girls develop their musical talents.  This DVD has a very catchy tune that has many different verses – all relating back to the animals most recently introduced.  We really liked the song and I, particularly, enjoyed the harmonies.  The voices are strong, confident and clear.

I want to warn you, however, that if you are planning to watch it on an old box TV like we have in our main gathering place, the DVD is designed for a wide screen.  When we used the big box TV portions of the words were cut off…it’s not a problem on the flat screen.  So, if there are any of you who are like me – living with one foot in the old world and one in the new, be forewarned

I feel quite fortunate to have this DVD added to our collection!  I can see us enjoying it for quite a while.

Review of Grapevine Studies Bible Curriculum – Old Testament Overview

This review today is from blogger guest poster, Tracy.

Several months ago I was privileged with receiving a GrapeVine teaching unit on their Old Testament Overview (from Creation to Babel).  In the package were two smaller packages – a teacher’s pack of instructions and a student’s pack of worksheets (both hole-punched and ready to be inserted into a binder).

I excitedly opened both packages and prepared my binder for use.  (As I am using it with my 4 year old, I am retaining responsibility of the binder myself.)  I keep the teaching resources in the first part of the binder and his worksheets in the back part.  As we go through the lessons I pull out the sheet that he is working on, then flip to my little paperclip marking the current teacher page and keep that open as I guide the lesson.

To do the lesson, in addition to the GrapeVine worksheets & teacher resource all you need is:

        Your Bible (or a child’s Bible where you can locate actual verses)

        Colouring tools (crayons or pencil crayons – not markers if they soak through)

        Your own binder to store the GrapeVine stuff in

I was fortunate enough to find a fold-up mini-whiteboard made by Magnetic Learning second hand.  I can’t seem to find it on their website, but this one looks similar: .  I also found a package of coloured dry-erase markers that are perfect for the GrapeVine drawings.

Each lesson (10 in the Old Testament Overview) is made up of four mini-lessons which you can do over the span of four days or all at one time.  They are short and sweet, making it so manageable to start a routine AND KEEP IT!  Depending on how much time you allow your child to have to draw, it could take anywhere from two minutes to “That’s long enough, we’re moving on!”.

You start with reading a verse or two directly from your Bible.  Then you can have your own discussion or follow the suggested points.  The lessons do not offer an actual dialogue for you to follow, just the main thoughts to convey to your student(s).  Finally, you draw the suggested EASY stick figure representation of the lesson.   We draw together.  I’ll draw a portion on my whiteboard and my son will draw his on his paper…and we’ll continue until the drawing has been completed.  Your child can draw it exactly like yours or put his own spin on it – my son has opinions about my trees and that’s okay – his tree can look his way, and mine can look mine!  The point is that he will be able to look back at his unit and recall the important portions of the story because he made it…his way.  He can communicate what he learned by reviewing his drawings with quite a bit of clarity.  (I’d only suggest that if you have a certain character that comes up throughout a series of lessons, draw him/her in the same colour – it makes it easier for recall.)

With every lesson (four mini-lessons) a memory verse is suggested.  I, however, chose to work on one memory verse for every two lessons (or eight mini-lessons).  There is also a set of review questions you can go through orally after every full lesson.

Midway through there is a “Section Review” (30 questions) and at the end a “Final Review” – a repeat of the Section Review questions and an additional 20 to represent the last half of the entire unit.

We really enjoyed our time with this curriculum.  I really see this product becoming a tool we come to again and again.  I would not hesitate at all to recommend this program…actually I’d eagerly suggest it!  While we have not yet purchased our next unit, I am confident that it will find its place in our permanent line up of school products.

Elements Compounds and Mixtures!

Wolf Cub: Mom do you know the difference between elements compounds and mixtures?

Mom Wolf: Well first of all and element is a pure substance that cannot be separated or broken down into more simple substances by physical or chemical means.

Wolf Cub: Wow! But what about a compound mama?

Mom Wolf: Ok ok calm down im getting there. A compound is a pure substance composed of 2 or more elements that are chemically combined.

Wolf Cub: Those two were very interesting but whats the last one!

Mom Wolf: The last one is a mixture. A mixture is combined of 2 or more substances that are not chemically combined.

Wolf Cub: Wow thanks for explaining to me the difference between elements compounds and mixtures.

Mom Wolf: You welcome.

The Rhyme

Compounds combined chemically
and Mixtures don't combined
Elements combined physically and chemically

Solution- A mixture that appears to be a single substance but is composed of particles of two or more substances that are distributed evenly among each other.

Forensic sceince-
Forensic science can be simply defined as the application of science to the law. In criminal cases forensic scientists are often involved in the search for and examination of physical traces which might be useful for establishing or excluding an association between someone suspected of committing a crime and the scene of the crime or victim. Such traces commonly include blood and other body fluids, hairs, textile fibres from clothing etc, materials used in buildings such as paint and glass, footwear, tool and tyre marks, flammable substances used to start fires and so on. Sometimes the scientist will visit the scene itself to advise about likely sequence of events, any indicators as to who the perpetrator might be, and to join in the initial search for evidence. Other forensic scientists analyse suspected drugs of abuse, specimens from people thought to have taken them or to have been driving after drinking too much alcohol, or to have been poisoned. Yet others specialise in firearms, explosives, or documents whose authenticity is questioned.

How is business generally in the ATL area?

Business in the Atlanta area is thriving. Demand for warehouse space has steadily increased over the last four years, drastically driving down vacancy rates. This isn’t surprising given Atlanta’s tremendous advantages. Not only is the city at the heart of a pivotal region, but it offers a rich infrastructure connecting multiple ports such as Savannah, Charleston and Jacksonville. In fact, separate reports published last year by CNBC and Site Selection Group ranked Georgia as the #4 state in the country for infrastructure. Atlanta is also home to 15 Fortune 500 and 11 Fortune 1000 companies, due to its award-winning business climate. Their presence spurs innovation in services and technology alike, and provides the foundation for a highly skilled workforce. In all, Atlanta really is the optimal location in the southeast for companies to thrive.

Which industries seem to be hit hardest or doing best- making news or on your radar because of economic impacts or recovery successes?

shippers-groupAtlanta is both low cost and considered the most mobile-friendly city in the US. As a result, Atlanta is a growing hotbed for start-ups and technology disrupters, collaborating with and leveraging the presence of powerhouses like Manhattan, NCR, and First Data. We’re also seeing rapid growth in ecommerce throughout this region, fueled by companies like Amazon, Home Depot, and UPS.

The Automotive sector in particular is experiencing a renaissance in the region. OEMs and suppliers alike are being drawn by the area’s robust tax incentives, extensive infrastructure, and access to skilled labor, training, and resources. Not only are these companies bringing manufacturing jobs, but they are setting up their headquarters here as well. Kia is a great example. Since beginning production in 2009, they have grown to 3000+ workers on their 2200+ acre campus about an hour from downtown Atlanta. With Kia being just one of 16 OEMs with a major manufacturing presence in the southeast, we’ve seen more than 10 automotive suppliers locate or expand their operations in Georgia alone, creating 6,000+ jobs in just the last couple of years. Another way of measuring this impact is the growth of Georgia’s transportation equipment exports. It has grown 9.4% annually since 2000, almost double that of the U.S. average overall.

Like many other cities in the country, Atlanta’s housing/residential and commercial construction markets were hit hard during the recession. However, in the last three years, we’ve seen evidence of a strong recovery for both. For example, at the beginning of the year, 45 projects were under construction in the downtown community of Midtown alone. These projects included residential, office and mixed-use spaces. The Atlanta Business Chronicle also reported late last month, that completed construction on new office space was at its highest level in seven years.

How is Shipper’s business?

The Shippers Group has successfully positioned in this growing market, capturing opportunities as they arise, and creating them as well. We just opened another public warehouse facility in the Atlanta area back in March. Our newly constructed state-of-the-art facility is 538K square feet and strategically located near I-20 and I-285.

It was designed to support multiple customers, including those that require food grade certification. By doubling our footprint in the southeast, we can continue expanding our value-add offerings such as transportation, co-packing/repacking, ecommerce and 4PL services to mid-level manufacturers and distributors alike.

I truly believe that our success has everything to do with who we are as a company. Since our start in 1901, we have been a privately owned, family business. This doesn’t mean that we don’t bring in top talent from across the industry though. In fact, Rob Doyle was recently hired to lead The Shippers Group through our next phase of growth and beyond. Not only is Rob a recognized leader with a proven track record, but complements the 200+ years of operational experience of our executive team. And, by maintaining a financially sound, low-debt position, we are able to work with our clients on pricing structures that best suit their needs. This collaborative mindset also drives our interest in exploring new service offerings with our clients, as well as a constant focus on continuous improvement. We also take pride in our knowledgeable and motivated operations team, which not only get our clients up and running quickly, but deliver an exceptional customer experience throughout the relationship. It’s tenets like these at the fabric of The Shippers Group that have allowed us to be so successful both here in Atlanta and in Dallas which you’ll hear more about next time.

Is there an initiative or new focus area you’d like to emphasize?

Rob_Doyle_1_We have so many great things happening at The Shippers Group right now, so let’s begin at the helm, with our bringing in Rob Doyle as President earlier this year. Rob is widely known and respected in our industry. He’s worked in everything from operations to business development, has held key leadership roles, and has served as Chairman of the IWLA in its best attended year, the 125th anniversary and has been extensively involved in other industry organizations like CSCMP, at the national and roundtable level. By leveraging his diverse and high-profile industry experiences, Rob will bring both depth and breadth to the executive team. And, knowing that Rob will ensure operational excellence continues during this time of significant growth, means that Graham Swank, co-owner and Ken Johnson, CEO can concentrate their energy on our customer relationships and identifying new opportunities. Rob’s leadership and presence is really driving great things for both our company and our customers.

We’re also rolling out a fresh new name and transitioning from Shippers Warehouse to The Shippers Group. This change is significant for us and reflects how our offering has evolved from warehousing only to a broad range of logistics and supply chain management services including co-packing/repackaging and ecommerce order fulfillment.

THE_SHIPPER_GROUP_Email_LogoIn Atlanta specifically, The Shippers Group is focused on growth—organically and through acquisition—in the food, consumer goods, and automotive industries. We know we will achieve these goals because of our continued investment in technology; the addition of resources in engineering, quality, and operations; talent practices that increase bench strength and train future leaders; and unwavering focus on innovation. We continuously improve processes and product flow, ultimately increasing our customers’ cash flow and speed to market. When combined with our expanding footprint and visionary leadership, we know significant opportunities are waiting for us.

She is probably best known for her role as the rape victim Mrs. Alexander in the 1971 Stanley Kubrick film A Clockwork Orange, and for her appearances as Valerie in Jean Renoir's The River (1951) and as Lara's mother in David Lean's Dr. Zhivago (1965). She appeared in many horror and suspense films in the 1950s until the 1970s including Devil Girl from Mars, The Tell-Tale Heart, A Study in Terror and Vampire Circus. She also appeared as Therese Duval in Revenge of the Pink Panther. She also was in the 1969 science fiction movie Moon Zero Two and in the 1969 Twelfth Night, directed by John Sichel, as the Countess Olivia opposite Alec Guinness as Malvolio. Her numerous television credits include Angelica in Sword of Freedom (1958), a regular role in A Family At War and You're Only Young Twice, a 1971 television play by Jack Trevor Story, as Mena in the Doctor Who story "The Leisure Hive" and guest starred as the mariticidal Liz Newton in the UFO episode "The Square Triangle". She had a major stage career. There is a story that, when the audience booed on the first night of John Osborne's The World Of Paul Slickey, Corri responded with her own abuse: she raised two fingers to the audience and shouted "Go fuck yourselves". Corri has married and divorced twice, to the actors Daniel Massey (1961-1967) and Derek Fowlds. Her book The Search for Gainsborough (Jonathan Cape: 1984) contained much original research, including examination of banking records, and made a plausible case for 1726 as his birth year.

Time for a very timely tea invention

The right time for a nice, strong cup of tea

Strong English Breakfast from Twinings

Strong English Breakfast from Twinings and a very special mug

The lovely people at Twinings got in touch with me again recently about some rather exciting news and it could not have been better timing! In recent weeks I’ve been enjoying my wonderful selection of teas and trying lots of different blends in some of my favourite mugs – both old and new – but I’m ashamed to say that some of my teas have been forgotten about as I’ve got distracted by the “To Do” list and other festive activities in the run up to Christmas. I’ll leave them to brew for the recommended three to five minutes (usually around five minutes for a nice, strong black tea, which is my everyday favourite). It seems I’m not alone…

Forget tea not?

According to the latest statistics collected by Twinings, 74% of British people – that’s almost three quarters of the population – make a nice cup of tea as their first drink of the day; and one third claim it’s the very first thing they do when they wake up. Despite this famous British love affair with tea, one in five surveyed (that’s 22%) admitted to regularly putting down their tea and forgetting about it!

Never fear, there is a solution – and one I really need in my life, as I’ve forgotten about two cups of tea today already! Twinings have created a prototype cup, which they are calling the ‘forget-tea-not’ – that not only lets you know that your tea is at optimum drinking temperature but reminds you about your tea so it doesn’t spoil by playing a rendition of the “Bing! Bang! Bong!” song when the tea reaches 68 degrees centigrade.

The designs for the Twinings Forget Tea Not Tea Cup

The designs for the Twinings Forget Tea Not Tea Cup

A lot of thought has gone into this from the tea lovers at Twinings – a collaboration between the famous tea house’s master blenders and some rather clever designers. The cup is hand painted in colours that match the branding of the Twinings English Strong Breakfast blend and it is all designed to optimise the tea drinking experience by ensuring the tea is at what they believe is the optimum tea drinking temperature after milk, 68 degrees centigrade, in a shape that maximises the ability to taste the different notes in the tea.

Having met a Twinings master blender myself and learned a lot about what has gone into making their English Breakfast blend over the decades, I can tell you that they genuinely love their morning cuppa and place special significance on the role of a god cup of tea at breakfast time, which is only right and proper, in my opinion!

The right start to the day

As part of their recent research, Twinings have also been looking in to the best ways to start the day – which, of course, while tea is a very important element in the process, often involves more than just the essential morning cuppa! I’m partial to a nice, strong cup of tea in the mornings and find it hard to function without one, but there’s more to it than that. They enlisted the help of psychologist, Dr Lynda Shaw, to get her top tips and life hacks for the best ways to start the day the right way. I identify with a number of these – the power of positivity and a positive start to the day to pave the way for a great day ahead is not to be underestimated, and I do find that a good cup of quality tea in one of my favourite mugs provides a much-needed smile to set me up for the day!

Starting the morning the right way with a good cuppa

Starting the morning the right way with a good cuppa – and a view!

Dr Lynda Shaw’s Morning Rituals That Set You Up For a Successful Day and Are Something to Look Forward to

1. Prepare your mind and write down three things you are grateful for, which will stimulate the rewards systems in the brain. In so doing, you will achieve a more positive outlook for the rest of the day.

2. Set your attitude by adding how you want to behave today – do you want to be calm, energetic, kind, or perhaps all three? A positive feedback loop in the brain will keep you on track.

3. One of the first things you probably do in the morning is make a cup of tea for yourself, so make sure it’s a quality one. Use your favourite tea in your favourite mug or cup and sit down and savour it.

4. How about getting physical? Stretch, run, walk, go to the gym. Exercise in the morning is a ritual that sets you up for the day, but choose something you enjoy to get a real glow.

5. Drink a glass of water to hydrate, then go through your automatic bathing routine which allows your mind to wander and muse wherever it wishes to go, giving space for creative thought.

6. If you take public transport to work, reading an article online on the way gives you topical things to talk about and helps you feel informed and in control.

7. Try waking 10 minutes early so that you can lie there with your eyes closed, allowing your brain to enjoy the alpha state. This is a creative place and you are likely to come up with new ideas or answers to difficult questions. Record them or write them down immediately.

8. Make your bed. It feels good later to come home to an orderly house, helping you to feel calm.

9. Eat your favourite food for breakfast – something that is colourful, such as fresh fruit and yoghurt, or make a smoothie with both fruit and vegetables. Your body will love you for it.

10. Text a friend or family member and tell them how great they are. Doing something meaningful at the start of your day will give you both a boost.

When can I try this magic mug?! I’m excited…!

This is very exciting news in my world – I’m really hoping that this prototype goes into production and am very much looking forward to the opportunity of it becoming available so I can have one for myself!

Until next time, I hope you enjoy your morning cuppa and it sets you up for a fabulous and very productive day – all the more important at this very busy and festive time of year!

Raising a good cuppa to you all – Compliments of the Season!

Winston-Salem's Arctic, Inc. Develops Frostbite Weed-killer

Curiosity, more than necessity, was the mother of invention for the green weed-killing product created by Arctic Inc. Arctic, based in Clemmons, developed the idea for its Frostbite weed-control system after co-founder Rob Howerton used spray cleaner on his computer keyboard.

Frostbite applies "a killing frost" to provide a faster and safer organic option compared with traditional weed-control methods. It typically works in 1-3 days compared with up to 30 days with traditional weed-killing products, the company says.

Primary customers are turf professionals, such as landscapers and operators of public and private outdoor spaces who rely on turf professionals to maintain lawns, ball fields, parks, golf courses and school playgrounds.

Arctic began offering Frostbite to turf professionals in late 2011. Among its largest clients are Pleasant Green Grass, the largest organic lawn-care company in the Raleigh/Durham area; the completely organic Vineyard Golf Club in Martha's Vineyard; and Harvard University, which plans to use Frostbite to replace the hand-pulling of weeds throughout its campus.

Among Arctic's accolades was named Friday as the winner of the second round of the PTP Next competition and a $20,000 grant. Read more.

Resident Evil 6 demo details emerge

Dragon’s Dogma is Capcom’s highly ambitious action RPG (Role Playing Game) that fuses hack and slash combat from games like Devil may Cry 3 with the vastness of open world RPGs like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The game was to release this March but for reasons not divulged, Capcom have pushed this game back to the end of May 2012. Delays for such ambitious games aren’t exactly unheard of but we only hope the end product is worth the wait.
Buy Dragon's Dogma and slay zombies early

It seems the game will be bundled with a demo code that can be redeemed on Xbox Live by the 3rd of July 2012. PSN users on the other hand will have to wait till the 5th of September to try out Capcom's latest game. Like always, there was no mention of a demo for PC users. Resident Evil 6 releases for the Xbox360, PS3 and PC (yeah right) this November.

Myanmar's State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi (C) signs a Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA) at the Myanmar International Convention Center (MICC) in Naypyitaw, Myanmar, Feb 13, 2018. New Mon State Party (NMSP) and Lahu Democratic Union (LDU) singed the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA). (EPA-EFE/HEIN HTET)

SINGAPORE: Two ethnic armed groups in Myanmar signed a ceasefire with the government on Tuesday, as leader Aung San Suu Kyi seeks to revive a stuttering peace process to end decades of conflict.

Ending near-perpetual civil war has been Suu Kyi's stated top priority, but the Buddhist-majority country has seen the worst fighting with rebels in years since she took office almost two years ago.

The peace process, which has been eclipsed in media coverage by the plight of hundreds of thousands of Muslim Rohingya refugees fleeing to neighbouring Bangladesh from violence in the northwest, is key to unlocking the resource-rich country's potential and guaranteeing development for its more than 50 million people.

New Mon State Party and the Lahu Democratic Union signed the National Ceasefire Agreement (NCA) after meeting Suu Kyi and the military's commander-in-chief, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, in the capital Naypyitaw last month.

Speaking at a signing ceremony in Naypyitaw, Suu Kyi said the next step was to cement the ceasefire with groups that have already signed, and bring the remaining armed groups into the agreement through dialogue.

The latest two signatories have not engaged in active fighting with the military in recent years, but analysts said it marks a positive move for negotiations with other armed groups.

At least 10 rebel groups have not joined the NCA, an accord negotiated by the previous quasi-civilian administration. Suu Kyi has opened a new round of talks with some of the groups since last May.

The Nobel Peace Prize winner had been criticized overseas for not standing up for the largely stateless Rohingya in the western state of Rakhine, where an army crackdown forced more than 688,000 to flee to Bangladesh since Aug. 25 last year.

The United Nations described Myanmar's crackdown as ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya, a charge Myanmar denies. - REUTERS
