FROZEN in Wisconsin

Its that time of year when the temps drop below 0 and the wind chill makes it feel bitter. In Wisconsin we always get wind chill advisories and tonight is one of the nights where you are under lots of blankets and wish you had a fireplace. The low for tonight is -17 and with the wind chill it might feel like -30!!! 30below 0 thats when you have to pack a blanket in the car just in case you have a car issue, which many cars in WI are probably having to get a jump today and tomorrow. I have a subbing job tomorrow and I am kinda hoping they have a late start! :) Many schools have to consider the number of kids who wait outside for the bus. If you have skin uncovered you can get frost bite in just a matter of minutes. I remember a couple 4 years ago we had wind chill's that were -50 degrees! It gives families a reason to stay in and do things indoors, games, movies, baking, cleaning!

Anyone else in a deep freeze? What are you doing inside to stay busy?

Today we are hanging wash (it puts moisture in the air inside) and baking, keeping the house warm! We may also do some sewing of simple things...but I'm guessing that my active boy will need to do something different soon! We have a Sweatin' to the Oldies video that he likes to do - it cracks me up when he imitates the moves and tries to make up some of his own! He likes the music and hopping around in general =) Pretty much any aerobics type of program, tape or DVD gets us moving and grooving! Family dance party!!!

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program.

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...
