Whether we liked it or not, we have probably all moved in our lifetimes. It may have been out of necessity or because we simply wanted a change of scenery. But whatever the reason, it was probably extremely stressful. A new home, location, neighbors can all spell discomfort. In fact, it has been stated that moving is the third most stressful situation next to death and divorce.

But this doesn’t stop people from doing it. Forty-three million people, or fourteen percent, of the US population move each year. The typical people who move are between the ages of 25 and 44, with 1 or 2 kids between the ages of 2 and 11. This makes sense as with today’s job market people are changing careers and locations a lot more now than even 15 years ago.
If you are doing a local move, then most likely you will be calling on friends and family to help out. But that still doesn’t mean you can’t be organized – the more organized the better. Take a look at these tips to help the big day go a whole lot smoother.

>Children’s Book About Lying: A Kids Picture Book About Lying With Photos and Fun Facts

I’m sure growing up we were all told at one time or another that lying isn’t nice – especially if you were caught red-handed in one. But did we really learn from the humiliation and embarrassment of that situation?

If we were to keep track of each lie we told each day for a week, we may be amazed at just how many untruths slip past our lips. Sure we can justify them by saying that these “little white lies” are saving people’s feelings. But is this really why we lie? Is it the person’s feelings we are considering or our own personal discomfort with the situation?

Nobody wants to be the one to tell a friend or acquaintance…”yes, you DO look fat in that outfit” Or…”if I have to spend another minute in your presence I might run away screaming.” (I speak from experience).

I don’t believe anyone started out as a liar. I believe we have been socially conditioned to let half-truths and false answers guide us on our daily dealings with the world and the people in it. The words “politically correct” have become many of our mantras and we don’t dare […]

Children’s Book About Death: A Kids Picture Book About Death With Photos and Fun Facts

It doesn’t matter what race, faith, or country we live in, death is inevitable for all living beings. Some have to face this fact of life sooner than others. Some people pass through violent acts, sickness or just old age. It may not be something we want to think about, but there is actually some amazing facts about dying. Let’s take a look at the lighter side of death.
The Egyptians believed in life after death. They thought when they died they would lead a whole new life and that they would need their dead remains for the afterlife. For this reason they used the process of mummification. This process was time consuming and took up to 70 days to complete.

Since being a mummy was only for the super-rich and royalty, once they were preserved they were placed in tombs, while poor people where buried in sand. This process became so popular that by the 19th century, Egypt had so many mummies that they started using them as train fuel – so much for coming back from death and re-using your body.

Children’s Book About Vegetables: A Kids Picture Book About Vegetables With Photos and Fun Facts

How many times growing up did we hear those inevitable words…eat your vegetables? Why as kids did we push the offending cruciferous lumps around on our plates and refuse to even try them? Because they smelled funny and looked weird? To our young brains we had no idea these were some of the most important building blocks of a healthy body – though I still don’t enjoy broccoli.

There are hundreds of different vegetables, from normal to hybrid, so how can we not find something we like? Veggies come in all shapes, forms and colors and can be prepared in every way imaginable. Personally, the more butter or cheese sauce that is smothering them the better.

If you are bored with those everyday veggies, then take a look at some of the strangest vegetables that are being enjoyed even as you read this.
The Romanesco may look like a weird alien invader but it is actually a type of broccoli from Italy. It has cone-shaped florets in a brilliant green color. The taste is somewhat mild to sweet. Its closest veggie-cousin would be cauliflower.

Children’s Book About Paris: A Kids Picture Book About Paris With Photos and Fun Facts

If you ask any woman where she dreams of going someday, it will most likely be Paris. This city is steeped in old world history, architecture, dreams and romance. The Eiffel Tower is a wonder that stands proud and promises a spectacular vision, whether it be in the bright sunshine or the twinkling night sky.

Paris is the capital of France and also considered the “fashion capital of the world.” It is situated in Europe and the primary language is French. This city can boast its popularity since it is the most visited in the world. It spans 33.5 square miles (86.7 square kilometers) and has a population of over 2,243 million people.

Besides the Eiffel Tower, Paris is home to many museums. And we’re not just talking a few, but rather around 250 of them – way too many to visit in one day! Perhaps the most popular and definitely the most visited Parisian museum is The Louvre. This building sees around 8 million visitors each year, making it number one all over the world. But there is good reason for these numbers. This 652,300 square foot building is home to around 35,000 prehistoric to 21st century artifacts and art.
