Always Learning - September 2011

Comma Trouble

September 24th 2011 19:50
Grammar is a killer. Specifically I am perplexed by commas, semi colons and colons. See, should there have been a semi-colon? I do not know anymore.

Some of my more recent purchases include grammar books. I carry one in my purse. Weird

Aside from books on the subject, I have been studying articles written by self-proclaimed grammar nazis, free term papers and well-written books should help.... I hope. I'm not a terrible writer, but I do need to learn to toe the line, especially in my profession.


I tend to write like I speak, so overloading the pauses is just what I do. In fact, if I were to really put all the pauses in, there would be times my sentences look like this. I. do. not. understand. the. rules.

.

Always Learning, yep, always. (hope I can retain this time around, and learn how to implement the facts properly)

Remember Mod Podge?

Mod Podge is still around, and it is better than ever.

Mod Podge Dimensional Magic can be used in combination with regular Mod Podge to create a clear, hard, raised surface that acts much like acrylic resin, but without the fumes or multiple steps involved.

This makes it a perfect choice for art projects, especially when you want to create with kids. Try the following projects to create something special....






visit your local craft store and revisit the expanded mod podge family

Should Babies Watch TV?

September 3rd 2011 15:53
Babies and TV ....how much is too much? Programming geared toward babies has always concerned me. There is so much real world to explore. At the same time I will admit to being quite smitten with Sesame Street. ( to this day )



I love how they pull in pop culture....
Check out Mad Men by Sesame Street

.....keep it relevant ( for adult fans too ) like with the awesome iPogo episode or Grover's parody of the Old Spice commercial, Smell Like a Monster

....but still run the tried and true "1,2,3 - 4 5 - 6,7,8 -9 10 - 11,12"

I can like this show and still be concerned about plopping a baby in front of the electronic babysitter. These little people need to move around, touch things, learn to talk, discover and PLAY that is their job.


Preview shows before letting little minds absorb the info, consider this new show aimed directly at preschoolers....
Remake of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood: Will you be Daniel Tiger's Neighbor? Would Mr. Rogers approve? I feel somewhat okay with this remake since it is being done by the Mr. Rogers Foundation....but I am still holding out all out approval until I see what they have done to the Land of Make Believe.

......just my two-cents on the issue. I'll leave you with Ma Na Ma Na enjoy!
