Ballarat Mobile Dog Wash was the answer to both canine and human dreams recently, here at Pets and Plants.
Like most dogs, Whippet Boy loves to roll in unsavoury delights and turn himself green, rollicking in damp, newly cut grass. It had been a while since I last treated him to the joy of a bath and I decided to indulge him with a lovely, warm hydro bath, in the highly gentle and skilled hands of Cullen Hodge.
Ballarat Mobile Dog Wash, is in fact, the family business of my dear friends Warren and Lorraine Hodge and more recently, Cullen, their son, has come on board to meet the increasing demands for mobile pet grooming services, which includes clipping and grooming.
I hung around with the camera to capture the occasion and the resultant photos affirm "every good boy", (or girl), deserves the pampering that is provided by a professional and dedicated dog groomer, like Cullen or Warren Hodge. Whippet Boy seemed a truly pampered pet throughout the experience and Cullen spoke with genuine affection for his regular canine clients in particular, as well as to Whippet Boy, throughout his hydrobath, manicure, and drying.
Whippet Boy was so relaxed throughout and Cullen was quick to gently, but firmly, reassure him, when unfamiliar noises of the water pump and dryer were switched on.
Inside the van is safe, secure and comfortable for canine clients and products are carefully selected for dogs with sensitive skin.
Whippet Boy certainly smelt and felt gorgeous and seemed to hold himself like the show boy that he was born to be, when we took our daily constitutional around the neighbourhood, shortly afterwards!
If you are short on time, or find bathing a large, or even small dog demanding, treat your dog to the joy of a hydro bath. Of course you can "do it yourself", especially with dogs as sleek coated as a whippet. However a doggie manicure or clip, is best left to skilled hands and is all part of the regular service. They will even worm your dog, if you wish and a preventative flea rinse is part of the deal!
I can vouch for the care, reliability and gentle hands of the Hodge groomers with your dogs. I have witnessed their love and devotion to their own dogs, including some lovely German Shepherds and a couple of Jack Russells, especially with a very special girl, with three legs, who was part of their family for many years. I recommend them to you highly.
If you live outside Ballarat, there are mobile grooming services in many areas. Use your intuition and watch how the groomer interacts with your dog. Fortunately the service tends to attract genuine dog whisperers like Warren and Cullen, but be wary of a groomer who wants to rush, or is rough or careless with your animal. A good handler will be skilled in reassuring wary dogs and do their best to make a bath at least as pleasurable, for your dog, as rolling in the proverbial. Check how many appointments they get through in a day. Too many should set alarm bells ringing with a mobile service.
One thing I can confirm is that Whippet Boy will welcome back Cullen, with a cuddle and a kiss, next time the red trailer pulls into our driveway!

Your Toddler
What are typical behavioral characteristics?
What are some solutions to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)?
What are some general parenting tips?
What are typical behavioral characteristics and challenges?
Children are in the Toddler Years from 1 ˝ years old until their 3rd birthday. During this time, they go through many new physical, emotional and intellectual experiences, such as:
High energy levels.
Toddlers have lots of energy! This is a period of rapid motor growth. Your child is learning to walk, run, climb, throw and feed himself.
Toddlers are very interested in how the world works. Your child will want to explore everything in her environment and test how people respond to her behavior.
Toddlers begin experiencing impulses and do not have control over them! Remember your child will need your guidance in areas such as safety, manners and empathy.
Toddlers only know how to use a limited number of words and may get frustrated because they cannot express themselves.
You may see anger in the form of outbursts, typically called "tantrums," during this age. Outbursts peak from 16-24 months and then decline. Your toddler may need your extra help in calming down.
Toddlers want to do things by themselves. It's important to be patient and allow enough time for your child to practice everyday tasks such as getting dressed or feeding herself.
Children can become extremely possessive at this age and "mine" is a word you will hear often!
What are some solutions to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)?
The new experiences that toddlers face can be overwhelming for them and for their parents. Many parents have questions about their child's behavior during this time. Check out some solutions for Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) you may be asking yourself:
I have tried talking to my toddler about his behavior and he doesn't seem to understand. What can I do to better communicate with him? How can I influence his behavior? Is he too young to try?
Remember that your child has a limited vocabulary and doesn't understand everything you say. It's important not to use too many words. Don't expect your child to understand another person's viewpoint because children this age are very egocentric. Also, your child does not yet understand logical relationships such as cause and effect - you may already realize it is impossible to logically reason with a toddler. Practice these ways to communicate with your toddler:
Learn and model ways to use
nonverbal communication
in actions that are appropriate for your child.
"Nonverbal communication" involves the feelings expressed through facial expressions, voices, and the way you move or stand.
Children are very sensitive to nonverbal communication. For example, Johnny comes running inside to show Dad the picture he drew. Dad barely takes his eyes away from his work. Johnny learns Dad is not interested in Johnny's achievement.
Make sure to maintain
eye contact
when you express your feelings to your child.
Eye contact tells your child she is important and that you are focusing on her. It also encourages her to make eye contact with you.
Making eye contact increases the effectiveness of your message.
Be aware of your
posture and position
when talking with your child.
Get down to your child's eye level. Kneel next to him or sit beside him to take away the intimidating difference in size and height.
Watch out for negative body language. For example, crossed arms or legs can indicate that you are "closed off," resistant, or hostile.
Monitor your
tone of voice
Your tone of voice may be the most powerful nonverbal tool of all!
A simple phrase can be interpreted differently depending upon the tone of voice.
Keeping the voice calm, soothing, and soft helps children feel safe and able to express themselves in return.
Remember the importance of
facial expressions and touch
Simply rubbing a child's back, smiling and winking, or tucking a child into bed communicates, "I care about you."
Children are very aware of our faces and the way we express affection through the touch of our hand or a hug.
My 2-year-old seems so fearless! She runs so fast - I'm worried she'll hurt herself. I love her free spirit and don't want to cramp her style, but I want to teach her to be more careful. How can I do that with a 2-year-old?
Between 2 to 6 years of age, children will experience life with excitement and courage. Here are some strategies to balance curiosity with safety and appropriate boundaries:
Foster your child's growth
with both opportunities for creative exploration (such as a nature walk) and opportunities for rules and structure (such as holding your hand in crowded areas). Different situations will provide the chance for your child to become a curious yet responsible person.
Encourage your child
as she faces challenges. Protect your child if she or someone else is in danger, but don't shelter her from harmless exploration - even if it is time-consuming or messy. It's important to teach your child to believe in herself and try new things.
Remember limits and firmness
have a place in disciplining young children. Avoid these problematic parenting styles:
"Permissive" parents allow their children to do whatever they like. This style of parenting gives silent approval to both your child's good and bad behavior. Giving young children too much power is very scary and makes the world seem unsafe to them.
"Autocratic" parents have overly strict rules and give their children little power in decision-making. This can result in negative consequences such as low self-esteem and fear of failure.
"Limitless parents" are parents who become too busy, distracted, or tired to set limits and want their children to enjoy the little time they spend together. This causes problems with power struggles and rule-setting in the future.
My toddler will not respond to the word "No." As soon as I say "no" to something, he whines, protests or cries - nonstop. He will not do what we tell him to do. Please help!
Distraction can be a great tool with toddlers. For example, you can lift your child up, make a "whizzing" airplane noise, and set him down in another location with other activities.
Say "yes."
Change from using "no" comments to using "yes" comments as much as possible. For example, you can change "No food throwing!" to "Food stays on our highchair tray." This helps to identify the rules without starting an emotional battle.
Say "no" less.
Childproof your home so that there are fewer "no's" around. Remove objects that your toddler isn't allowed to play with to prevent situations where you have to say "no."
Praise and encourage.
Remember to praise and encourage your child for appropriate behavior. One rule of thumb is to give 4 positive comments for every 1 reprimand.
Set up routines that make daily life more predictable.
Remember that toddlers can become very interested in what they are doing and need help transitioning.
Come up with routine transition rituals such as a countdown or ringing a bell.
Set consistent, easy to understand rules.
Talk with your child's other caretakers about the most important behaviors you want to encourage, ignore, and discourage.
Remember your child has a limited amount of verbal skills. Rules should be stated clearly and simply without a lot of explanation or logical reasoning (children don't think logically until 4-5 years of age).
Use a calm, even tone without using words that cause blame, shame or pain.
Clear instructions.
Children respond better to simple, consistent directions versus lots of words.
No matter what, be consistent! Kindly and firmly repeat the instructions for as long as it takes.
Remember that his behavior will become worse before it gets better. Never give in at a heightened level of behavior (such as kicking and screaming) because it sends the message to repeat that poor behavior (or worse!) the next time he wants his way.
Getting our toddler to go to bed has been dreadful. He cries and cries. My husband thinks that just putting him in his room with the lights off will solve the problem. Now he's wetting his bed almost every night and refuses to stay in his bed all night.
Sleep is a very complicated issue in many homes. If your child is wetting his bed or sleep has become this much of a struggle, talk with your child's doctor about strategies you can use. These books may also be helpful:

Sleep: The Brazelton Way
by T. Berry Brazelton, Joshua D. Sparrow
When my child is really acting up, I give her a quick spanking and her behavior stops immediately. Spanking seems to work better than any of the other disciplinary methods I've tried, so why is it bad?
Spanking is a form of punishment that
leads to negative feelings
. Discipline is different from punishment. Discipline leads to a learning experience for your child.
Even though physical punishment may stop the behavior immediately, "
hitting begets hitting
" and children who have been physically punished often hit others because they have been taught to be aggressive.
Spanking can have
long-term negative effects
on the child such as:
low self-esteem,
future abusive relationships, and
the belief that hitting is okay
Spanking children
teaches the wrong lessons
Big people get to hurt little people.
"I can hit others when I grow up."
Hitting is an acceptable way to deal with anger.
Hide the behavior instead of change the behavior.
Focus on the "mean mommy" instead of the inappropriate behavior.
"I am a terrible, worthless person who deserves to be hit." This may set children up for future failure, ill-treatment, abusive mates.
It's not safe to make a mistake or take a risk.
Do what you want but don't think about the consequences (rebelliousness).
Don't misinterpret fear as respect
. Some parents think that their children respect them more because of their physical discipline. This is not true!
Remember that
you are always modeling behavior
. If you don't want your child to hit others, don't hit your child either.
My toddler doesn't always listen to me. It's a struggle to get her to do what I say. There's no reasoning with her, especially once she's throwing a tantrum. How can I effectively discipline her?
Have both
respect for your child and positive discipline
in your disciplinary routines.
Communicate with your child after she's had a moment to calm down. Calmly review the behavior with your child and explain why it was wrong using age-appropriate words.
Be consistent and firm, yet kind.
Try these strategies to
deal with problematic behavior
Ignore mild behavior.
If a child does not get attention for a behavior, he will often stop doing it.
Use distraction.
Try redirecting your child to another behavior, toy, or activity. You can also use humor as a distraction tool.
Give warnings then follow through.
For example, "Food stays on our plate. If it goes on the floor, I will take it away" (the warning). If the warning needs to be repeated more than twice, take the plate away and end the meal (the consequence).
Some parents feel that brief 10-second time-outs can be effective for toddlers. Lift the child out of the situation, face the child away from the parent, and count aloud to 10. This removes your child from an activity, distracts them with counting, and introduces them to the concept of time-out.
"Calming time."
Giving your child a quiet activity (drawing, coloring, puzzle pieces, etc) can calm her better than simply sitting (a time-out)
Stay in control.
Be emotionally neutral and matter-of-fact. Avoid spanking, shouting, or pleading for cooperation. If you start using these techniques, it's okay to say that you made a mistake and to start over using a different technique. Remember to take a "calming time" to cool off when YOU need it too!
Trial and error.
Remember that each child is different and your strategies may need to change for each child or as your child grows through different phases. Find what works specifically for you and your child.
The best strategies for toddlers are ones that
prevent problem behavior
from occurring:
Be playful.
If you want your toddler to clean up her toys, get down and do it with her in a fun way. For example, have a "10-second tidy" where you see how much you can clean up in 10 seconds or sing a silly song like "Clean up clean up, everybody everywhere. Clean up clean up, everybody do your share." Feel free to make up your games and lyrics!
Say "no" less
. Prevent battles by childproofing your home and removing objects your toddler isn't allowed to play with.
Problem-solve difficult situations.
For example, if grocery shopping always leads to a major battle between you and your toddler, try to figure out what's going wrong. Are you going at the end of the day when your toddler is tired? Would some snacks or small toys in your bag help keep him well behaved?
"Time in."
Make sure your child has at least 15 minutes a day of your complete attention. This reduces "attention-getting" behaviors and shows your child love and support.
Take care of yourself.
As a parent, you need to find time for yourself so you have the energy to give the proper attention and discipline. Paying attention to your needs, feeling rested and being calm improves your relationships with others.
More general parenting tips
Take parenting classes, read books, ask lots of questions, visit
Try to "
walk a mile
" in your child's shoes. The key to understanding children's behavior often comes with understanding what/how they are feeling and the events that lead up to their negative actions.
Actively listen to your children to find out what's causing their behavior and help them through difficult moments.
For example, you find your child throwing toys at the dog. Ask questions, listen and reflect. You might discover that your child wanted to play for the past hour but everyone was too busy and her feelings of rejection caused her to throw the toys out of frustration.
Sometimes, even just the simple act of a reassuring hug can say "I love you" and help stop negative behavior.
Praise and encouragement
is extremely important. It's not just the act of praise or encouragement, but HOW you praise or encourage that's truly important in what's effective, positive and reinforcing for your child.
Keep your praise and encouragement specific.
When your child draws a picture, instead of saying, "This is great," talk to your child about it. You might say, "Tell me about these stripes here - are blue and pink your favorite colors? What kind of shape did you use here?" This way you can talk and learn together, while sending the message that the picture is important to you too.
Watch the content of your praise and encouragement.
Saying, "Wow, that is the most beautiful artwork I've ever seen!" can make your child focus on always trying to please people. Instead you could say, "I like all the colors you used in this picture."
"Catch your child being good."
Instead of always pointing out everything your child does wrong, give them attention for the things that they do right. Celebrate the positive things they do and reward their good behavior!
Instead of focusing on the two Lego pieces your child forgot to put away, praise him for cleaning up all the other pieces.
After you praise him, you can ask if he notices anything he missed and then praise him again when he figures it out. This creates two situations for praise and helps your child feel confident twice!

text: Until three years ago, when I was 27 years old, I had no symptoms of psoriasis whatsoever. I had never even heard of it. Then, one day, I noticed I had a small patch of itchy, dry skin on my arm. I assumed it was just a rash that would go away. But over the next few weeks, I developed more and more of these patches, which eventually covered my face, arms, hands and even the bottoms of my feet. Within one month, 90% of my body was covered. I didn't know what was happening. Searching for Answers I went to my family doctor, who I'd seen my entire life, and he was as confused as I was. I sat with him in the exam room as he searched online for my symptoms, and I remember thinking, "this is not good." He ended up deciding my symptoms must be the result of a virus, so he prescribed me antiobotics and said they should take care of it. They didn't. I saw two other general practitioners after that, but neither of them knew what to do with me, either. Finally, one of them referred me to a dermatologist. Even though the symptoms were affecting my skin, I hadn't thought to see a dermatologist. I associated dermatologists with acne treatments and cosmetic procedures. I thought my symptoms were a reflection of some virus or something a general practitioner could treat. But that wasn't the case. I went to see the dermatologist, who told me she thought it was psoriasis—but she openly admitted she had no experience treating it. She said she'd feel better putting me in more capable hands and referred me to a nearby hospital with a special department focused on psoriasis patients. I'm so grateful to her for finally pointing me in the right direction. Finally, a Diagnosis The dermatology team at the hospital was amazing. I had never heard of psoriasis before, and the dermatologists were very patient and informative. One dermatologist explained what was going on with my body—how my immune system was working too hard so my skin cells were growing too quickly, causing the rough, scaly patches, or plaques, to develop. It was definitely a team approach there, and I felt like I was in more than capable hands with these experts. It was so comforting, after searching for so long, to be working with a team of doctors who were truly knowledgeable about my condition. My diagnosis was still scary, though. After that first appointment, I went online and found all kinds of information about psoriasis, and it was pretty overwhelming. I came across tons of blogs written by other people with psoriasis, and their experiences seemed really challenging. It hit me hard that I was going to have to deal with this condition for the rest of my life. It was difficult to swallow that news. But I kept looking ahead and researching more information. As a writer by profession, my natural tendency is to find out as much as I can about something and then get to work making sense of it. Now that I had a diagnosis, I didn't want to stick my head in the sand. I immediately got involved with the online blogging community and became a psoriasis advocate. Building relationships with other people with psoriasis helped me get the support and information I needed, and that community, along with my dermatology team, helped me realize I could handle this challenge. Determining the Right Treatment When I began discussing treatment options, I worked with one member of the dermatology team. I immediately felt confident that together, we could gain control of my psoriasis. He told me every psoriasis patient is different, so we'd have to try a few things before finding the right solution. We went through a lot of trial and error when trying to find the right treatment, but it was such a relief to be treated by a doctor who put me at ease about the path ahead. The first thing he did was prescribe me topical medications, like ointments and creams. I tried a steroid cream initially, but it didn't have any effect. Other topicals didn't work either. But then I tried ultraviolet (UV) light therapy, where I was exposed to a specific type of light known to clear psoriasis, and it worked really well. I had UV therapy a few times a week for about six months, and most of my plaques finally cleared. I feel really lucky, because I know people who have been struggling to find the right treatment for years, whether they end up with biological medications or others. I don't know how long these effects will last, but I'm grateful my skin is clear now. If my psoriasis starts to come back, I'm confident my dermatologist will be there every step of the way while we try new options. Be Your Own Advocate After going through this whole process, I think it's so important for people to find the right doctor. The stress of being passed from doctor to doctor and not understanding what was going on with my body was really hard to deal with. Now that I'm involved in psoriasis awareness and advocacy, I tell people that if they don't feel like they're in the right hands with their current physician, don't wait to find someone new. You have to be comfortable with your doctor and confident that he or she knows the ins and outs of your condition. Connecting with my dermatology team was the most important step to getting my psoriasis under control, so I think it's absolutely crucial that patients aren't afraid to find the right doctor for them. Brittany Ineson is a born-and-raised New Yorker who writes about her experience managing psoriasis on her blog, SeeingPspots.com. She's also a volunteer and advocate for the National Psoriasis Foundation, and dog-mom to her pup, Brooklyn.

Reiki 2 training on Friday 15th May 2020
Reiki 2 is the second level of Reiki, taken after level 1 having gained some experience of healing family and friends. It is a commitment to self-development and healing others.

I haven't been posting much here lately — my oldest child had to be moved into a new apartment in Iowa before she left for a month in China; middle child is graduating from high school tomorrow and we had to prepare for the open house; youngest child wrapped up his 7th grade school year; Tim started 10 weeks of training for a new job; work (as always) is busy; and my dad was recently diagnosed with cancer. I've had lots on my mind.
And now, instead of posting more, I'm getting ready to attempt something that frightens me. First, let me say that I love design. I love my computer and all electronic devices. I am not afraid of these things.
But the second you move computer and design into the webosphere (I don't think that's a real word), I am shaking in my boots. That is, if it weren't 84˚ today and I hadn't already packed my boots out of sight for the summer.
I'm getting ready to attempt to convert my blog from a wordpress.com blog to one using wordpress.org. If you're like me, that doesn't really mean much to you. It's supposed to offer lots more flexibility and features that I need moving forward. I will also be changing and customizing a new theme (i.e., the way it looks). But I can't find anyone to hire to do this for me, so I'm going to try it myself. What this means for you: a longer break from my posts while I figure this stuff out. And the possibility that if you do come to my blog in the meantime, there's a decent chance that it will look all wonky. So please bear with me and cross your fingers and toes that it's really as easy as they say it is. I don't think I believe them. But, boy would I like to be surprised!
Maybe it'll only take me a couple days and you'll hear from me again soon. Or maybe it'll be quick and easy but I won't get around to starting for three weeks. I just don't know. But in the meantime, wanted you to know I hadn't forgotten about you. I have some great ideas and posts coming up down the road. And I'm never too busy to respond to emails or messages, so if you're so inclined, please stay in touch.
Enjoy the kids being home, the sun shining outside, the leisurely wake-ups of a summer schedule, the craziness of vacations, working while everyone else plays, the smell of sweaty kids, the sounds of bored ones, the backs of your legs sticking to black vinyl car seats, the smell of sunscreen, the chill of A/C, dinners cooked on the grill — whatever applies to you right now. I'll be back in touch — hopefully soon — once I have a spectacularly improved new blog to show you!
P.S. It's barely even summer and I've been devouring tons of books. I'm only listing ones I've read in the last 2-3 months that I've really, really liked. Here they are, in case you need any summer reading recommendations:
The Program and The Treatment (Suzanne Young)
The Selection trilogy (Kiera Cass)
MILA 2.0 (Debra Driza)
Nearly Gone (Elle Cosimano)
The Lunar Chronicles (Marissa Meyer)
The Legend trilogy (Marie Lu)
The Giver series (Lois Lowry) – movie comes out this summer!
Whistling Past the Graveyard (Susan Crandall)
Love Gone Wild (Amy Matayo)
The Perfume Collector (Kathleen Tessaro)
Found: A Story of Questions, Grace & Everyday Prayer (Micha Boyett) — LOVED
Glitter and Glue (Kelly Corrigan)
Spiritual Misfit: A Memoir of Uneasy Faith (Michelle Derusha) — really like but not yet finished
Memoirs of the Soul (Nan Merrick Phifer)
Choking in Fear (Mike McCarty)
the blogs of Addie Zierman, Micha Boyett, Rachel Held Evans
Middle grade:
The soon-to-be-released The Hunter Awakens (by my fabulous friend Joe Roper)
Have any suggestions for me?

NYRSF May Go Digital
After a change in their printer, David Hartwell at the New York Review of Science Fiction is considering ceasing production of a print magazine, investigating the option of publishing a pdf issue of the magazine. He will continue to publish print issues through July 2012. NYRSF will not be accepting subscriptions past July until a decision on the magazine's future has been made. Whatever choice is made, Hartwell is clear that the magazine will continue.

What would you do with $150 million? For Hollywood directors, this theoretical is a day job. Movie studios hand them mountains of cash to turn cockamamie ideas into decade-long franchises. The requirement: dream big. Which is why we see so many cars driven off steep mountainsides. Really, who else has the expendable cash and car fleet to waste on an extreme stunt. The movies bring childish fantasies to life. Watching an Oldsmobile sail off a cliff and explode into a fireball ranks among the most childish.
While taking in this supercut of automotive destruction, remember: this was someone's job. Those lucky bastards.

ILSAC ILSAC Oil Specifications
ILSAC, International Lubricants Standardization and Approval Committee, is formed in 1992 by AAMA (American Automobile Manufacturers Association, representatives of DaimlerChrysler Corporation, Ford Motor Company and General Motors Corporation) and JAMA (Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association) to define the need, parameters, licensing and administration of lubricant specifications. Together with the Tripartite system (API, SAE and ASTM) the formed EOLCS, the Engine Oil Licensing and Certification System. ILSAC oils often carry the API Service Symbol (Donut) including the Energy Conserving designation and/or API Certification Mark (Starburst).
- The ILSAC GF-1 standard indicates the oil meets both API SH and the Energy Conserving II (EC-II) requirements. It was created in 1990 and upgraded in 1992 and became the minimum requirement for oil used in American and Japanese automobiles.
- ILSAC GF-2 replaced GF-1 in 1996. The oil must meet both API SJ and EC-II requirements. The GF-2 standards requires 0W-30, 0W-40, 5W-20, 5W-30, 5W-40, 5W-50, 10W-30, 10W-40 and 10W-50 motor oils to meet stringent requirements for phosphorus content, low temperature operation, high temperature deposits and foam control.
- An ILSAC GF-3 an oil must meet both API SL and the EC-II requirements. The GF-3 standard has more stringent parameters regarding long-term effects of the oil on the vehicle emission system, improved fuel economy and improved volatility, deposit control and viscosity performance. The standard also requires less additive degradation and reduced oil consumption rates over the service life of the oil.
- ILSAC GF-4 is similar to the API SM service category, but it requires an additional sequence VIB Fuel Economy Test (ASTM D6837).
- Introduced in October 2010 for 2011 and older vehicles, designed to provide improved high temperature deposit protection for pistons and turbochargers, more stringent sludge control, improved fuel economy, enhanced emission control system compatibility, seal compatibility, and protection of engines operating on ethanol-containing fuels up to E85.
- The ILSAC GF-6 specification is currently in development and will probably be divided into two sub-specifications. ILSAC GF-6A will be fully backward compatible with ILSAC GF-5 but would offer better fuel economy, better engine protection and improved performance while maintaining durability. ILSAC GF-6B would deliver similar performance as ILSAC GF-5A but will allow lower viscosity oils like xW-16, taking advantage of the fuel economy benefits offered by the new SAE 16 viscosity grade.

What Will 2013 Bring to the World of 401k?
Like all other media properties, we spent the last few weeks of Holiday time reliving the highlights or 2012. But, alas, time marches on and, with it, leads a cavalcade of hopes, promises and expectations. The last few years have appeared to offer more talk than action. Will 2013 merely repeat this incessant idle chatter? Or will the new year usher in a new era of confidence, rigor and compliance?
As any good reporter does, for answers to insightful questions like these, it's best to avoid pondering into the misty glass of some crystal orb and, instead, consult a seer of more profound awareness – the Rolodex. FiduciaryNews.com polled some of the nation's brightest stars of the fiduciary realm to seek their counsel on these and many other important questions. The kinds of questions all 401k plan sponsors, service providers and even plan participants will want to know the answers to.
For Kathleen M. McBride, founder, FiduciaryPath,LLC., New York, NY, the future is bright and clear. She says, "The Labor Department (DOL) has filed its agenda for 2013, and 'Definition of Fiduciary' is on it, so I look forward to seeing their stringent fiduciary rule proposed." McBride tells us "the current (old) DOL definition has big loopholes that allow too many advisors to fall out of the fiduciary requirement." She hopes the new definition will, "very simply, require any advisor who provides advice to plan sponsors and participants to do so as a fiduciary, putting the interests of the plan's participants first at all times, acting in utmost good faith, acting prudently, with the skill, care and judgment of a professional, avoiding conflicts of interest, managing unavoidable conflicts in participants' favor, disclosing those conflicts and controlling investment expenses."
Duane Thompson, senior policy analyst, fi360, agrees. He says, "The one milestone that I'm confident we'll see is reintroduction of the DOL's revised definition of 'fiduciary' under ERISA." Thompson warns, however, this "does not mean it will be adopted this year by the agency." Still, he sees it nonetheless as a milestone, "given the vast changes in the retirement industry since the original definition was adopted almost four decades ago." He believes "updating the fiduciary definition will benefit plan sponsors over time by clearing up confusion over the responsibilities of advice-providers. Currently, whether a person claims to be a fiduciary or not, the plan sponsor doesn't know for sure unless it has the benefit of legal advice. Knowing who is a co-fiduciary and who is not will reduce the plan sponsor's liability risk." And reducing fiduciary liability is something all 401k plan sponsors strive to do.
While he also feels "it should be easier and easier for plan sponsors to identify truly high quality advisors with client-friendly business models," Mike Alfred, Co-Founder and CEO, BrightScope in San Diego, remains unconvinced. "Call me a pessimist," he says, "but I'm skeptical we'll see any comprehensive or transformative regulatory step forward on the fiduciary standard in 2013. As it relates to the 401k business, we'll see more top plan advisors moving to specialized firms with fiduciary business models. The most forward-thinking broker-dealers will carve out special designations and exemptions for their top plan advisors so they can more effectively compete in the marketplace." Yet, he believes "choosing your golfing buddy or son-in-law has never been prudent, but it will become even harder to justify."
For the unusually sanguine Knut A. Rostad, president and founder of The Institute for the Fiduciary Standard as well as the Regulatory and Compliance Officer at Rembert Pendleton Jackson, a registered investment adviser in Falls Church, Virginia, "the fiduciary standard is worse off today as compared to four years ago." Rostad maintains, for all the sabre rattling of the Obama administration in favor of the fiduciary standard, regulators have been brow beaten by the "unsubstantiated" and "dubious" arguments of opponents. Rather than seeing 2013 as a year of milestones, he believes this is a year where proponents of the fiduciary standard will need to regroup.
But, even without any formal changes or regrouping on the part of fiduciary advocates, Alfred sees top asset managers and record keepers as having been aware of these fiduciary trends for years. "The advisor-sold business is mature in many ways but there will still be opportunities for firms that can use data proactively to identify the advisors that are really moving the market and who should be selling their products. Sending twenty wholesalers out in to the field with a steak & golf budget and various generic value-added tools just doesn't work in an increasingly fragmented market controlled by savvy and experienced advisors who can afford to buy their own filet mignon." Moreover, according to Alfred, these trends have accrued to the benefit of 401k plan participants. "All of the changes in the marketplace in recent years have been a net positive for participants," he says, adding, "Plans are getting better and leaner at the same time." But, he remains cognizant of the fact employees themselves need to be reminded to keep their eye on the ball. He says, "The onus is still on the participants to save though and many folks haven't yet received the message."
If, on the other hand, changes – particularly from the DOL – come through as expected, Thompson says, "Some, but not all, service providers will be forced to review their conflicts of interest and make changes. If some who were not previously held to a fiduciary standard of care are deemed fiduciaries under a revised definition, they probably will be required to overhaul their compensation practices and thereby more effectively manage conflicts of interest in favor of the plan." Thompson says, "There is broad recognition that the workforce is playing 'catch up' in saving for retirement." He feels the new fiduciary rule will be good for 401k investors. "By holding those who provide investment advice to a higher standard of accountability," he says, "the quality and cost of advice will work to the benefit of participants. Over time, this can increase the rate of return for workers and contribute significantly to helping them meet retirement goals."
McBride further explains, "The alignment of interests of advisors and participants means participants, who are of course saving for retirement have a better chance of achieving their retirement goals than participants who are captive in a plan where the interests are not aligned, and therefore a prudent investment process may not be followed, where investment choices may not be optimum, and where investment expenses may be higher — possibly much higher."
If she could have one "fiduciary wish" for 2013, McBride would like to see "that all investors receive advice that is truly in their best interest, from an advisor who acknowledges their fiduciary duty and truly lives up to that every day. And that financial service companies realize that in the long run, what is in their clients' best interests will help clients thrive, and ultimately aligning their interests WITH their clients' best interests is what will help firms grow and thrive."
Thompson says, "My fiduciary wish for 2013 would be for the academic community to come out with studies clearly documenting the benefits of fiduciary advice. I would prefer to see the SEC propose a robust fiduciary standard for brokers and investment advisers in 2013, but I don't think it would survive a court challenge without empirical data backing up the cost-benefit analysis."
Alfred just wants to the word "fiduciary" to be replaced with the phrase "client-friendly" so, as he says, "someone outside of our industry would have some idea as to what we were talking about all the time."

Assistant Provost, Institutional Research and Assessment
Program Assessment Guidelines
Each program or major at American University is expected to develop and implement a comprehensive assessment plan. This plan includes:
- The articulation of expected learning outcomes for the program/major.
- Clear methods for assessing the degree to which learning objectives are being met.
- Standards for determining the degree to which goals are met.
- A summary of assessment activities and results.
- Evidence that results are used to improve and/or market programs.
- A timeline for implementing a complete assessment cycle.
The following guidelines should be used in the development of the plan:
Definition of program/major. Departments can decide exactly how their programs or majors are defined. In most cases, departments will develop assessment plans for each major. There may be cases, however, where it is more helpful to develop plans at the level of "concentrations" rather than major. Assessments should inform program improvement, and units should decide how they can best set up plans to facilitate such improvement.
Assessment methods. Ideally, programs are expected to use a variety of assessment methods, including at least one direct measure of assessment for each learning outcome.
Plans should be simple and do-able. Emphasis is on creating plans that can be implemented given the usual constraints of faculty availability and funding. A reasonable plan is one in which a full cycle of assessment can be completed in 3-5 years.
Plans should be useful. The ideal plan is one which helps the department focus on issues that are of critical importance to it. Units who find that the assessment process is not useful are strongly encouraged to work with the Learning Outcomes and Assessment Team and CTE to revise the plan to better meet their needs.
Web Access. Learning outcomes and plans for each program are posted on a website open to the public. An update on each assessment plan's implementation is posted on a password-protected website.
Communication. In order for the plan to be useful to students, units are encouraged to find ways (in addition to the official website) to communicate the learning objectives of their program to prospective and current students.

Baller Move: Add for Blocks
Analysis: Johnson is a guy who keeps jumping on and off people's radars, when he puts up the occasional big game before going quiet again. His problem is that he's only averaged about 8 points a game, and points per game is usually the biggest number and the first stat people look at. However, Johnson has contributed an amazing 1.7 blocks/game and 1.4 steals/game, which are huge positive contributions for each stat. Take the blocks – a general rule of thumb I use is that each extra block helps as much as about 7 or 8 extra points per game. If you saw a guy on the waiver wire whose per game averages between December 28 and January 27 were .431 FG%, .786 FT%, 15.4 points, 4.8 rebounds. 3.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.9 blocks, you'd say "wow, it's Paul Pierce" and you'd probably pick him up. But since Johnson put up those exact numbers except for averages of 8.4 in points and 1.9 in blocks, his value is not so obvious, and he's still largely available as a free agent. The best part is that he has been doing this on 23 minutes a game, and he's only got the offensive black-hole Tayshaun Prince standing in between him and a starting role at SF where he could have Top 60 value.
By popular demand, RotoBaller has aggregated all of our fantasy basketball NBA waiver wire pickups into a running list of NBA waiver options, so bookmark the page and check back often for updates.

Robert M. Wayner
It was in a wood thicket outside Peoria, Illinois where I first began to construct furniture some twenty-five years ago. My childhood home
was adjacent to this dense woodland, separated by a rolling hill peppered with walnut, oak, cottonwood, and buckeye trees and at its
base a gentle winding creek. Here among the walnut trees and the hooting owls is where I learned to revere God and develop my
In these woods my childhood friend Dirk and I created our own imaginary country (aptly named Rodir , complete with boundaries, forts,
flags and sales tax. Elves and forest animals composed our formidable army and our dogs Audrey and Pokey were our emissaries to
the outside world. (At one point during her successful tenure, Pokey successfully bartered a unilateral peace agreement between Rodir
and the Soviet Union). In this imaginary world within the wilderness, Dirk and I altered cockleburr patches into war bunkers, built tree
forts to serve as lookout sentries, and placed Rodir reserve banks in hard to access gullies beneath massive exposed tree roots. Atop a
large hill that overlooked a portion of the creek we founded Rodir City, the capital of our fledgling wilderness country.
Along the trails scattered throughout Rodir I began to make crude tables and benches from large tree limbs that had been struck by
lighting or brought down in the ravines by storm water erosion. As elementary as these furniture pieces were, often nothing more than
large limbs scraped smooth and decorated with buckeyes sitting atop logs, they were nonetheless the artistic triumphs of my
emancipated ten-year old soul and the prototypes of the furniture I would design twenty years later. In this world I was fully content, my
imagination wholly unstifled and my desperate yearning for God satiated. I didn't know it then, but those days would be the most
philosophically and artistically enriching days of my life. Years later I would read the famous W.B. Yeats poem, The Stolen Child, and feel
a deep, immediate resonance with its bittersweet theme.
I left home in my late teens to attend college in the Chicago suburbs, a very long way from the solitude of Rodir. After graduation, I moved
even farther away, into the concrete jungle of Chicago and spent my twenties driving a cab during the day and playing guitar/singing in
punk bands at night. It was a great period of my life; I met people from all over the world, saw architecture I could only dream of as a child,
and wrote hundreds of songs about bad girls, bad booze, and stray dogs.
But at the onset of my thirties, I found myself longing for a return to the simple life and contentment I knew as a child in the wilderness. I
began visiting my childhood home (much to my mother's pleasure) as often as I could, and taking long hikes along the trails of Rodir, this
time with my dog Abby (a little bundle of fur I found shivering near the intersection of 119th and Halsted). And in November of 2000, I
began making furniture again.
Finally, in October of 2005 I opened Black Walnut Gallery. It is here that I design and sell my furniture made almost entirely of naturally
felled trees, just like the ones I made as a kid back in Rodir. I have come full circle and am right where I need to be. I have no other aim
other than to make sleek modern tables, benches, and bookcases that showcase the natural contours and beauty of wood just as it
came out of the forest. Not only do these pieces fit perfectly in an urban loft or modern condo, but also along the trails of Rodir, where
they first were conceived so long ago.

A Muslim, also spelled Moslem, is an adherent of Islam, a monotheistic Abrahamic religion based on the Qur'an—which Muslims consider the verbatim word of God as revealed to prophet Muhammad—and, with lesser authority than the Qur'an, the teachings and practices of Muhammad as recorded in traditional accounts, called hadith. "Muslim" is an Arabic word meaning "one who submits to God". Muslims believe that there is no other God but the one true God who is referred to with the name Allah. God is eternal, transcendent, absolutely one, and incomparable; that he is self-sustaining, who begets not nor was begotten. Muslim beliefs regarding God are summed up in chapter 112 of the Qur'an, al-Ikhlas, "the chapter of purity". Muslims also believe that Islam is the complete and universal version of a primordial faith that was revealed at many times and places before, including through the prophets Abraham, Moses and Jesus. Muslims maintain that previous messages and revelations have been partially changed or corrupted over time, but consider the Qur'an to be both unaltered and the final revelation from God—Final Testament. Most Muslims accept as a Muslim anyone who has publicly pronounced the Shahadah which states, "I testify that there is no god except for the God, and I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of God." They also believe that Muhammad is the Seal of the Prophets and the final prophet. Their basic religious practices are enumerated in the Five Pillars of Islam, which, in addition to Shahadah, consist of daily prayers, fasting during Ramadan, almsgiving, and the pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in a lifetime.

1977 Lincoln ContinentalReview
Big Car, Big Luxury! — Lots of power, just not for speed. You could prolly out-tow most pickup trucks pretty easy. It only gets 7mpg, so that is the only real bad thing I can say about it. It does also have the Town Car package too. Its nice to drive, its almost like sitting in your livingroom sofa. Lots of technology in it for a late '70s car. It only has 26,000 miles, so everything is going pretty good with it.
Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)
Pros: Wonderful car overall. Comfortable, smooth, runs great, and looks good.
Cons: 7mpg, thats about it.

Stinkin' Lincoln —
I bought this car for $300, it looked like a piece of green junk but ran very well. I spent $200 repairing things like marker lights, signal lights, tail lights, they were all busted. Then I painted it Tremclad gray, with a roller, and got married in it, (after the paint dried). The car looked great. Used the car as a limo for the wedding. Then the brakes failed on the way home from getting married... in the snow... 3 ton car... no brakes. Luckily it was a short drive, with no one else on the roads. Managed to get home safe,... The car was a tank, and slowed down when your not on the gas. Next day fixed the 4 wheel disc brakes, in the snow, for another $300. Then it was ok. Never did anything else, but change the oil. Suspension and the handling were good. Air shocks and no problems with sagging springs in this car. Well worth the money for the period of time I had it. Then a few years later, traded it for a more economical '73 Mustang 351C HP. So my impression of this car, had it not freaked me out when I got married.... It's strong as an ox. 460 4bbl powerful motor, sucked up the gas, low costs in maintenance, and the ride was comfort for all. Not really fun to drive, felt more like work, having to haul everyone and everything around all the time.
Primary Use: Family transportation
Pros: Strong in everyway. Holds 6
Cons: As usual, not so good gas mileage, not many parking spaces this big anymore.

1977 Lincoln ContinentalReview
5000.00 — Performance - It is luxury car and it handles like a luxury car, but it DOES have a 460 4bbl in it. Build Quality - This car was build like a tank, it is 33 years old and it is in better shape than most 2005 cars. It was the top of the line luxury in 1977. Appearance - It looks like a mobster's car, long, lean, and classy. Cost Of Ownership - it currently needs approximately 600 dollars worth of work to put it on the road, but my son is crazy about it and want to drive it when he gets his license, which is cool.It will probably get around 15 miles per gallon on the highway. Fun Factor - It is a blast from the past and it will turn heads, it will be smooth as riding on air, but good luck finding a parking spot.
Primary Use: Family transportation
Pros: It is an antique luxury car.
Cons: Gas mileage

It's The Biggest Lincoln Ever Built... Yea, Its Amazing. — It was my ship. The thing drove like a barge, but it was big and beautiful. Only reason I don't have it was it was a poor investment when gasoline cost 4.00/gal. Lol, not a wise choice. But if you can afford the fuel, then you drive in style.
Primary Use: Commuting to work
Pros: It was big and beautiful
Cons: Poor Gas Milage

1977 Lincoln ContinentalReview
Land Yacht — This was by far the biggest car I've ever owned and or driven. It had a 500 cid engine, rode like a cloud, and had to visit every gas station it came too! I once had a Trans Am pull out in front of me and the Lincoln nearly totaled the Pontiac while only sustaining minor scratches to the rubber piece on the bumper! Definitely a heavy hauler and definitely a land yacht!!!
Pros: Big, roomy, smooth, BIG
Cons: Big, gas-guzzler, wouldn't fit in the garage

My Lead Sled I Owned For 5 Years — Bought this classic town coupe in 1990 from a dealer in Ontario brought it up from Florida with 46,000 miles on it and it drove like a dream. This was the last year Ford stuffed the 460 engine under the hood, it would pass anything except a gas station.
Pros: Smooth ride, reliable, feel safe if any other vehicle hit you, you would be fine.
Cons: 6 mpg in city and about 10 on highway (the way I drove it).

1977 Lincoln ContinentalReview
American Luxury In Poland — My 1977 Lincoln (actually my wife's) Continental Town Car. It was a Pennsylvania car its whole life up until I took it with me to Poland. It is a blast to drive here in Poland. It weighs 2.4 tons and is 19.5 feet long, boardering on 12 - 15 miles to the gallon with its 460 cu. inch engine. Thank god a gallon of gas is $6.50 in Poland....
Pros: Smooths out any hole-infested Polish road.
Cons: It takes corners like a blind track runner.

Hillary Clinton has been called to task by many for the new lows in attacks she and her campaign have chosen to use against Barack Obama.
No doubt about it: it's gotten ugly. She has opened the door to baiting Obama on race, religion and patriotism. These are all well-known Republican tactics against Democrats and independents. Clinton's choice to "go there" is shortsighted at best. It will only make it an easier White House run for GOP Bush-endorsed nominee John McCain.
When Clinton declared that she and McCain were the only two with experience to be commander-in-chief, it was like telling Obama, possibly the first African American president, that he can't join the "club." In that moment, not only were there racial overtones, but she also did the unthinkable by siding with the Democrats' rival against Obama.
With this and her "3 a.m." ad she managed to shift the election debate from the war in Iraq, economic recession and health care to national security. Very dangerous ground indeed.
Every time Democrats try to "out Republican" Republicans on national security and foreign policy they lose.
A winning conversation on these topics has to reject the ideology of preemption, military-might-makes-right and unilateralism and project common-sense peace strategies. Obama has shown vision on this front, including on ridding the world of nuclear weapons and diplomacy without preconditions. But Clinton's moves have opened the door wide for the Republicans to come rushing in and paint Obama as "weak" on national security. And if Clinton gets the nomination, she'll never be able to out-hawk McCain and may lose trying.
What the average voter wants — Democrats, independents and even many Republicans — is an end to the tyranny of the Bush administration and GOP hawk and pro-corporate policies.
Injecting racism and anti-Muslim bigotry will only fuel the divisions that the sizeable electoral movement around the Democrats, and Obama in particular, seeks to overcome. Unity among all in the anti-Bush/McCain electoral coalition is a must to win in November. Unity — and a reason to vote. Nobody should have a reason to sit it out this November. And the Democratic candidate shouldn't give them one.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR771061415372.6436.6 Timber!! Finally Aaron gets one on the line. That extra delivery doing the job. It was full and outside off, the batsman comes forward and chops it on to his leg stump. Anamul is disappointed with himself, he almost breaks his bat in half.. 182/3712201058.335.1 it's over for Shamsur! The short ball brings a wicket, but not before Rayudu and Shami end up making a complete hash of it. It was a surprise short ball and Shamsur tried to whip it to the leg side, but he got a thick leading edge that ballooned to the off side, towards cover, not very far from the pitch. Shami charged, and Rayudu charged towards the ball too, without anyone calling for it. Shami takes it in the end, but that was just about to go down..Shami's hand actually hit Rayudu's face there 16/12329304079.3112.1 he has got wicket first ball! This is brilliantly stumped by DK! Mominul tried to work this flighted delivery to the leg side, got an inside edge to his pads and then the ball rolled back towards the stumps.. Mominul had no idea where the ball was, by the time he turned back, DK already had broken the stumps..He was playing well, Mominul. 49/211711315672103.5349.3 Mushy's fine innings comes to an end! He slaps a high full toss straight to deep midwicket, but the umpire wants to check it for a) front-fott, and b) the height. First one is fine, and second one should be fine too as Mushy had charged way down the pitch. It looks like it was waist high when he made contact, but the ball had another two meters to go to the stumps. That's it, the umpires think it was fine. A wonderful innings from Mushy comes to an end. The Indian fielders pat him on the back.. 276/71419341073.6843.6 he drives it straight to extra cover! Naeem was looking to clear the infield, but he didn't get any elevation despite getting it off the middle of the bat, Ashwin didn't have to budge. It was flat and straight to him 231/41670016.6645.4 another wicket for Shami! It was a slower delivery and Nasir throws the bat it, gets a thick outside edge that DK holds on to this time 241/518121521150.0048.5 Aaron takes a fine catch at cover! Zia went for the repeat of the shot he played two balls ago, but this time he plays it in the air and a touch straighter. Aaron dives to his right and hangs on to a blinder. But he is in pain as he lands awkwardly - he was holding his left leg in pain. Wondeful cameo by Zia though.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2129571172.4112.5 huge wicket for Zia in his first over! He has gone through the defence! This one was only a touch short in length, but jagged back from a length and sneaks in, hit the thigh pad and drops on to the stumps. Rohit falls after another start. 54/22844505063.6311.2 he is gone! It's over! There were two appeals in the last over, but this time Billy Bowden goes with the bowler. He misses his sweep and he is struck right in front. Big big breakthrough for Bangladesh. That was hit in front of the off stump, would have hit the middle 50/1136122157162111.4745.4 Would you believe it! Bangla_fan's wish has come true. Rubel produces a wonderful yorker, aimed at the base of off, from nowhere and Kohli is a touch slow to bring his bat down. The off stump takes a beating..What an innings again! He didn't look like he was getting out tonight.. But this has come too late for Bangladesh 267/373831587187.9547.3 another anti-climactic dismissal!

For the last few months, my daughter and I have been participating in a play group through our local Moms Club. This group is specifically for little ones around Abby's age. Abby looks forward to playing with her friends each Monday morning and I look forward to conversation with moms who are in a similar stage of life as me. With this group, we often find ourselves swapping stories about sleep issues, picky eaters, and how sometimes we would give anything for just 5 minutes to ourselves! We were all so excited when one of the mamas, Shannon, brought up the idea of organizing a Busy Bag Swap!
A Busy Bag is a bag filled with a small activity that a young child can do on their own, without adult supervision. Perfect for those times when you need a few minutes to yourself to finish cooking dinner, throw in a load of laundry, or *ahem* use the bathroom alone! In a Busy Bag Swap, each mom comes up with one Busy Bag activity and brings enough of that activity for each child. Everyone leaves with a big bag full of fun boredom busters!
Interested in hosting your own Busy Bag Swap? Here's how:
Invite other moms to participate: As I mentioned, we did this with our play group but you could invite any mommy friends you think would like to participate. Neighbors, moms from your child's class, family members, etc.
Choose your activity! – There are lots of ideas here and on Pinterest. We each "claimed" our activities via email so there were no repeats.
Gather Your Supplies – For my activity, I was able to find most of the items needed around my house and purchased the rest at Hobby Lobby. The Dollar Store, Target, or any craft store would be great resources as well.
Prepare Your Bags – Make one busy bag for each child who will need one, plus one for your own child. In our case, we had a few sets of siblings who shared bags. One bag per household should be enough.
Swap Busy Bags – We filled our bags assembly line style. We each started by taking a gallon sized freezer bag and worked our way around the table by filling the bag with one of each activity.
Play! – Abby absolutely loves the Busy Bags and asks to play with them often. Sometimes she asks me to play with her, which defeats the purpose of independent play, but I don't mind. I love seeing her little mind at work! I've even begun bringing a bag or two in my diaper bag in case I ever need something to keep her occupied when we're out and about.
Here are some ideas for activities you can include in your own Busy Bag:
- Cut up colored sponges into building "blocks"
- Print out pictures of animals and cut them in half to make a matching game.
- Find plastic golf balls (with holes in them) and pipe cleaners to create a weaving game. Abby calls it the "octopus game."
- Create a color matching game using pieces of colored paper and small colored objects like buttons, feathers, and pom poms.
- Use an empty ice cube tray, pom poms, and spoons to create a fun scooping game. You can also use a small pair of child-friendly tweezers instead of a spoon. This is great for their hand eye coordination and fine motor skills.
- Kim found animal themed lacing cards. If you can't find them in stores you can easily make your own using pieces of foam paper, a hole punch, and shoe laces.
- Make a "Pom Pom Drop" by taping paper towel rolls to the wall.
- Glue round pieces of velcro to each end of colored popsicle sticks for a fun shape building game.
- Pom Poms – These are like candy in my house! Abby loves to put them in a bowl, dump the bowl out, and repeat.
Abby and I were thrilled to go home with a bag full of fun new activities! Putting my own bags together was fun, quick, and easy – what more could a busy mom ask for?
