Blog Talk Radio’s World of Ink Network show: Stories for Children –June 13



Blog Talk Radio’s World of Ink Network Show: Stories for Children with hosts VS Grenier, Kris Quinn Christopherson and Irene Roth will be chatting with author Margot Finke about her recent children’s books: “Taconi and Claude – Double Trouble” a historical middle-grade adventure, “Horatio Humble Beats the Big D” a rhyming picture book about dyslexia, and “Ruthie and the Hippo’s Fat Behind” a rhyming picture book about change.

Margot Finke is an Aussie transplant who writes midgrade adventure fiction and rhyming picture books. Margot didn't begin serious writing until the day their youngest left for college. This late start drives her writing, and pushes her to work at it every day. Margot said, "I really envy those who began young, and managed to slip into writing mode between kid fights, diaper changes, household disasters, and outside jobs. You are my heroes!"

 Her first books, a 7x book rhyming series, "Wild and Wonderful," offers fun facts about animals from the US and Australia. Educational and fun, eBooks can be read on a computer, laptop, or various color e-Readers. They are great for classroom or home schooling moms.

Remember, kids today are computer savvy, and ALL 11 of Margot’s books (both hard copy and eBooks) can be viewed on Margot’ Magic Carpet.  The latest three are: Taconi and Claude – Double Trouble (midgrade), Horatio Humble Beats the Big D + Ruthie and the Hippo’s Fat Behind.

Get Up & Get Moving: Week 9

Well, this past week was another busy week at my house. I somehow hurt my rib cage on which pretty much kept me from doing any exercising. Not sure what I did or even how it happened, but it is pretty sore. My baby girl isn’t happy mommy can’t carry her around all day because it hurts too much. I’m hoping after another week of resting, I’ll be back up and moving around in less to no pain. So with that last thought here is the health tip for this week: 3 Risks of Fasting for Weight Loss http://www.fitday.com/fitness-articles/fitness/weight-loss/3-risks-of-fasting-for-weight-loss.html August 2, 2010 Weight 187 July 19, 2010 Weight 188 Goal weight by December 31, 2010 130 I have been using a log to track my activity level and food intake each day.

The Multiplied Benefits of Journaling

Do you keep or have you kept a journal or diary? If so, you probably already know some of the benefits of journaling because you've experienced them. You know that your journal helps you make sense of the senseless side of your life. A journal can be an emotional lifesaver when you go through a hard time. But did you know that scientists believe journaling can even keep you physically healthy? The release of pent-up emotions you pour into your journal every day actually helps reduce the symptoms of arthritis and asthma, and strengthens your immune system. This really makes sense if you consider that much illness is exacerbated by stress, and a journal is one of the best stress reducers out there. Journaling gives you a record of your emotional growth like no other. While it can be useful at times to be able to look back and see just when your neighbor moved in or when you started suffering from headaches, the intangible changes in you can be even more fascinating to look back...

Get Up & Get Moving: Week 10

Back-to-school is here at my house. The kids go back this coming Wednesday. Hard to believe the summer is over already. I’m hoping with a few hours a day with only one child at home, I’ll be able to really tackle my weight lose goal with more exercise. It’s been raining cat and dogs here the last couple of days. This means my trusted old treadmill has been getting as much of a workout as I have. LOL. And that brings me to my tip this week. With colder weather around the corner, it may be harder to get out walking or running. I know where I live there are two times a year where getting outside to get exercise is hard. Late summer and wintertime. It is either too hot or too cold. I’m sure a lot of you know what I mean. That’s when I break out the workout videos or get on my treadmill. What has been a great motivator for me to get on the treadmill is catching up on my favorite shows. I tell myself the only way I can watch the latest episode of Lie To Me or Haven is if I ho...
