Maybe what inspires me, might inspire you or at least make you pause for a second. I like to share things, from ideas to experiences to discoveries. I've always been resourceful as it has been labeled and I like to think of it as a gift, that I should share. It can be a take it or leave it kind of approach.
I've been called a Rebel (all bark and no bite), out of the box thinker, eclectic, or maybe is was eccentric, sort of the same thing isn't it? If you've ever had a conversation with me you know that I have a habit of digressing, which I think is another one of my endearing qualities. I can't help wanting to share all this stuff. So to make these journal entries easier to follow (at least easier than one of my verbal conversations, unless you are highly trained) the different "SoMe" tabs on the side will sort my thoughts. I hope that they help inspire, motivate, add reflection and maybe a chuckle to your day.

Out and About - Cultural Exposure

I found this site featured in the May 2008 issue of the magazine Parenting.http://kidsoffthecouch.blogspot.com/Kids Off the Couch is an amazing resource for parents to get the family out and about.  Even though alot of the destinations are located in the States or more specifically L.A. and New York, the ideas and adventures are doable anywhere. There are over 200 free archived adventures to pick from and the great thing about this site is they create a cultural experience by suggesting books and films to compliment the adventure your about to take.  We've done the chocolate adventure where the kids went to a chocolate shop and picked out a few morsels and then had to critique and sort which was their favourite.  We watched Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory and even made our own chocolate suckers and fudge.  A memorable experience that they still talk about.  Check it out... Just in time for March break.
