Outside furniture


Have you ever noticed that when patio furniture
sits outside in the rain, and dew that it feels
muggy and dirty? My problem is I live in the
country so we get alot of dew at night and in
the morning, and the paint on all of my tables
and chairs is starting to peel off. I don't want
to re-paint them every single year. But I don't
want to waste money and buy a new set when the
set I have works, I am just in a pickle.

Nurture Imagination


A stick is just a stick, until a child picks it up.
Then the power of imagination can transform it
into a fishing pole, a sword, or a conductor's baton.

Children with vivid imaginations have an easier time
entertaining themselves when they're young, and
they are better equipped to become creative problem
solvers as adults.

Help your children develop their minds eye by choosing
toys that rely more on imagination than batteries.
Save large cardboard boxes for building forts and
castles. Play games like charades as a family. Nurture
your own imagination by coming up with new ways to
nurture theirs.
