The two main reasons to go organic are that it does not contains chemicals and pesticides that makes it better for all of us including our kids. On top of the above two reasons it just tastes betters and has more nutirents to keep us healthy, which indicates a clear benefit of going organic.

Although the cost of some organic foods is a little more expensive but you do get the worth of those expenses by getting more nutrition and taste.

There are a few simple things everyone can do at home to be â€œgreen.â€ It doesn’t require giving up convenience and comfort â€” it’s like the old proverb, “Many hands make light work” â€” it’s all the little things that add up to great change, things we use on a daily basis, like dish soap.

Nontoxic, natural cleaning products
Recycled paper products, paper towels for the kitchen
No chemical pesticides or fertilizers

Helps Children Learn How to Read

Many children struggle with reading, but every child develops at his own pace, and every child struggles for his own reason. What a struggling child needs is a individualized attention from their teachers, who could never be replaced by any sort of technology. This philosophy has been embraced by a new, Montreal-based company called MaestroReading. According to founder and CEO Danny Iny, their conviction is that “the real strength of educational technology lies in its ability to serve as the hands, eyes and ears of a teacher who needs to provide individual attention to a classroom of students, but can only be in one place at a time.”

The ideas for MaestroReading began developing as far back as 2004, coinciding with the founder’s discharge from the Israeli military and move to Montreal, Canada. The company picked up momentum at the start of 2007 with victories in provincial and international entrepreneurship competitions, and followed with an unofficial debut at the biggest international conventions: one held by the International Reading Association in Toronto, and the National Educational Computing Convention in Atlanta, Georgia.

MaestroReading.com’s main products include an interactive storybook about Leonardo da Vinci, with text that adapts to match the reading ability of the child (ranging grades 1 through 6), and a set of Learning Tools, which are games that allow the child to practice one specific element of the reading process at a time. Coming to fruition after a three-year development cycle, MaestroReading’s products are receiving a warm reception from teachers and students. Teachers love the way it adapts to match their individual teaching styles, and students love reading about Leonardo da Vinci and practicing their reading skills by playing games.

Schools are open and kids are busy again

Well schools opened this Monday and tiny kids are busy again with making their moms and dads also busy. The gone Monday was the first day for my son’s first day at his kindergarden as he turned five. He just seemed to be too excited about it. The 6:30 bus came and there he went running for the bus without even looking back and having time to say bye bye, he just waived his hand while running towards the bus in our drive way.

And now i am bored all by myself with my 2 years daughter with husband gone to office and i got nothing else to do apart from playing with my daughter.

Earliar i had two kids always playing and shouting in house and it indeed seemed to be like a fun house but i guess this week had been a dull and boring. I guess this website will keep me busy.

Any way i happy about my son taking his school with excitement and love to go there everyday when i listen to him what plans he got for tomorrow at school.

Caught my boyfriend with with another girl

Sanjana — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 02:47:17 +0000

It was a hot summer sunny day and i felt like feelying sleepy while at work. I guess the sleepiness must have been due to a heavy lunch i did which included some big indian corn rotis which are full of calories and seems a bit heavy.

I told my boss that i am not feeling well and need some rest today and wat to leave early. Being a good accountant and always punctual at work he waived the green flag. I grabbed a coke from the soda machine downway the hall while making my way to the parking lot.

It was 2:30 PM and the temprature must have been approx 90F , my car was hot like it had been in the oven all day. Started the engine and and zoomed for home. I am lucky it takes only 15 minutes to my home from my office one way.

I was surprized i had guest in my home as i noticed a blue sedan in my parking lot along with Kevin’s (My BoyFriend) Nissan Sentra, I thought some of kevins clinet or friend might have been visiting as Kevin usually works from home. I parked my car on the curb as drive was already occupied. I just wanted to bury myself into the bed for a good one hour sleep.

I opened the main enterance door with my little golden key (I just named it goden key, its really not of gold) and went inside, proceeded directly to the my bedroom. Surprized on the way that i did not find Kevin in the living room or in his office which happens to be just at the enterance. I though may be they must be sitting in the backyard. Its not usaul for Kevin to take guest to the backyard and discus business while sipping beer or coffee.

I went up the stairs to my bedroom and just fell on the bed without even bothering to change my clothes. Then suddenly i noticed some giggling voices andrunning waters coming from the master bathroom attached to bedroom. I said hey.. Is Kevin taking a shower ? I said it might be good idea for me to join him in the show and releave some heat. I undressed myself and went straight to the bathroom. And my my mY to my surprize Kevin already had a someone to give him company in the jaccuzi and that too in my house and in my bathroom. Both were surpirsed with my sudden appearance in front of them and i was surprized at the whole scene, cheating on me , behind me and in my house, all three of us bare and for one second had nothing to say.

Scindia, that girl then suddently broke the silence and said, he should be leaving, i felt like screaming and but dont know why i could not. Kevin was unable to make eye contact with me. I waent back to the bedroom and dressed myself and meantime Scindia found the time to dissapear from there wothout saying anything.

In few minutes Kevin came to me and tried explaining ,, what is there anything to explain why someone would be someone in this situation behind her back, Isn;t it cheating.

Its been 3 days now on this incident and still i have not spoken to Kevin and discussed the situaion properly as i am going through my mind whether to Kick him out or Just Give another Chance
