A Little Help For Telling The Easter Story

Use easter eggs and bunnies to tell the story

Not every parent or teacher knows the Easter story well enough to share simply with children. Yet every child deserves the chance to hear and decide for themselves. What Is The Easter Story sets it out clearly and naturally so that the whole story can be told. Easter is full of natural props that can both prompt and aid a conversation. See how you can use them and help your child to nurture their spiritual health. You can’t rely on the schools doing this. As parents it’s our responsibility- but privilege too!

Protect Your Family from Skin Cancer

Coming from a family particularly vulnerable to skin cancer and sunburn, I’ve always been very conscious of sun protection – especially here in Australia, where a thin spot in the ozone layer makes melanoma is a particular risk. However, while it’s easy to be very diligent at the pool, beach or park, it’s another thing entirely when casually, driving or walking. The sun is on 24/7, and it won’t make the distinction!

This lens covers some of the less obvious skin protection tips. I hope this helps a few readers improve the protection of themselves and their loved ones.

Romantic Gifts or Funny Gifts for Valentines Day

I am not the romantic type, I prefer to laugh and have fun.  Don’t get me wrong, the two are not mutually exclusive.  But given the choice of a romantic bouquet of flowers to say I love you or funny gifts for Valentines Day to make me laugh, I will choose funny gifts every time.

Can you image yourself shooting this love arrow? I think it is a perfect gift!

Funny Gifts for Valentines Day

Even amongst edible valentines, I prefer those funny little love heart sweets to a big box of chocolates.  And the romance isn’t completely lost as my hubby can arrange for me the special little love heart candies that say things like “be my love,” “kiss me,” or “cutie pie.” And for him, I like to get a manly gift – nothing girly, romantic or pink.

Now I turn the question to you.  Do you prefer romantic gifts like flowers, candy, or jewelry; funny and romantic gifts like matching coffee mugs or heart covered dishes; or just funny gifts for Valentines Day?
