Firework Art- Happy 4th of July

We found some spiky balls that light up at Wal-Mart and we used them in our art project to create "fireworks." :) This is so easy but my 1 year old and 4 year old had a grand time. I think they would have used 100 pieces of paper if I would have allowed it! :)

To make for easy clean up I put the paper in a box! SUPER EASY!

Grab your paper and some red, white, and blue paper and a tool like a spiky ball and create some fireworks yourself. :)

The upper right hand corner my daughter made and the lower left hand corner my son made. :)

We did our own fireworks using paint and forks! Love the spiky ball idea. My son would have gladly used more paper, too-- but after several sheets and glitter everywhere it was timet to steer him elsewhere! : )

"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.

The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

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...
