Great Gifts for Young Children

It's the Holidays and If you haven't gathered by my previous posts. I have been busy shopping and scouting out neat ideas for holiday gifts! See below for some neat go to gifts for Young children. Honestly I refuse to buy my sons a 54 dollar Furbi that has bad reviews. Keep it simple, educational and fun for kids. I LOVE it when a child's gift doesn't need to break into the battery stash.

DINO LINGO!

Dino Lingo Holiday Badge - The Holiday Gifts for Kids Who Love to...   (clipped to polyvore.com)

I recently found a great Forgien Language Learning System called Dino Lingo.

Here is my recent review I shared on the Learning System.  : )

"5 DVDs / 150 flash cards / 10 posters / a vocabulary book / a coloring book
world map / French flag / parents guide / a dinosaur plush toy

Right now $148.95 and free US shipping.

Dino Lingo usually has promotions or discounts on their learning packages. Honestly I don't think the price is to much.

You aren't just investing in entertainment for your child but a learning tool.

I have three boys 8, 6, and 3 they all were instantly engaged in the Spanish Dino Lingo learning kit.

I love how they have sample videos available on you tube ... so you can see for yourself the type of video material you will receive. Your not left in the dark about what to expect : )

Kids love learning new languages, so I think these kits would be great to suggest to grandparents that want to buy their grandchildren something different for the holiday."

    What to Wear to Election Party Event

   Casual Events

   •  Casual political parties are always fun to attend. Mixing and matching red and blue floral prints, stripes, funky patterns with a pair of jeans or leather pants. You could always wear a black leather jacket with your favorite political campaign t-shirt with your jeans. Adding the I voted sticker affirms your devotion to the process, so wear it proudly. 

   Dinners

   • Political watch dinner parties are usually dressier events. Most of the time business attire or business casual is appropriate. Ladies will be seen wearing  cocktail dresses and heels. Wearing a dress is certainly not required, a nice alternative would be a well made paint suit with low heels. Adding a lovely colorful scarf or beautiful bag can add something with your personality to your style. 

   Formal Events

   •  Formal political events get very dressy and an evening gown is what you want to look for. Selecting a gown that isn't to short or relieving is very important. I personally think it is okay to where a higher heel with your long gown because it will create a more slender line. Adding a special clutch bag sets off your entire outfit.

Pencils Of Promise, Justin Bieber Girlfriend Polyvore Contest

Pencils Of Promise Presents The 2010 Multi City Event Challenge (clipped to polyvore.com)

 How it all began

"what do you want most in this world"

"a pencil"

I reached into my backpack,
handed him my pencil, and watched as a wave of possibility washed over him.

A smile erupted and his eyes brightened. And I saw then the profound power and promise brought through something as small as a giving a pencil to just one child.

Over the next five years I backpacked through more than 50 countries, handing out thousands of pens and pencils across six continents.

These pencils, these small pieces of potential, led to powerful conversations with local parents and children across countless cultures and languages. From years of listening to their words, it became clear that there was a need for an international nonprofit that was led on-the-ground by a staff of locals from within each country, required village participation in each school, and deeply supported, trained and tracked each student to ensure their success.

These are the guidelines on which PoP was founded in October 2008 in hopes of building just one school by creating a movement of people who saw themselves as global citizens, regardless of age or status.

Since starting with just a $25 deposit, we have now built more than 50 schools.

In the process we have learned a lot. We’ve learned that education is a living, breathing entity that with the right nurturing, evolves into something spectacular. We’ve learned that every piece of its growth is a challenge and that each pencil, each dollar, each volunteer is essential.

Pencils of Promise is now a global movement of passionate individuals, many of which are the most dynamic and impactful young leaders we have ever seen. They are committed to supporting a world with greater educational opportunity for all. Thousands have joined us, making contributions through acts both large and small. There are more than 75 million children without access to education, and we intend to change this.

We are proof that a generation empowered will empower the world.
One child, one pencil at a time.
