Earth Day


Happy Earth Day everyone! I just wanted to let you all know that if you go to Oprah.com or click here at this link you can print off a coupon for a FREE Whole Foods lunch bag. Its a cute little sack made of recycled plastic sacks. Also at the same sight you can get 20 % off of SIGG resuable lunch items and TO-GO Ware! This is great news! Share it with your neighbors. Spread the word, this stuff can be expensive, but worth it in the long run because it saves money when you reuse items.

Happy Earth Day!

Bringing Up Baby, As Music Lovers Might

I know I have said this before but I really do love NPR. Yesterday on All Things Considered Bridid McCarthy did a story on music lovers chosing the music their child will listen to the very first time they come out of the womb. This is a wonderful 4 minute podcast that you will enjoy. It brought back wonderful memories of Todd and I taking our CD's right into the birth center where Marin was born and playing music for her as we all got to know each other in those first hours.

Listen Here

Enjoy

Morality, and when children form it

My husband recently found a WNYC Radio Lab podcast on the topic of morality and when people form it. He downloaded it for me, because of course its something I would be interested in. It's a really fascinating topic, and the hosts do a great job at exploring great questions about this topic.

I found this topic very interesting because I have a toddler who is clearly forming many ideas about life and the way things work. She is learning right from wrong and asking a lot of "why" questions when we tell her something is good or bad.

OK download it and listen sometime when you have laundry to fold.
