sitting at a round table we all held a wishbone in both hands, made a wish and broke. I was the only one left with two short ends... go figure. I like the idea that everyones wish comes true.
One of my favorite things to do is create travel kits (which basically are combination of scavenger hunts, missions and loving child like shenanigans) for loved ones on their travels. Let's talk if you would like me to create a travel activity kit for you and a loved one. You can e-mail me at faitheford@gmail.com

BRAIN RULES
BY
JOHN MEDINA
12 principles for surviving and thriving at Work, Home and School

I found myself wandering through the cognitive science section and I picked up "Brain Rules" by John Medina. He makes some excellent points about how unique each of our brains are and highlighting topics such as...
