You Don't Have to Give Up Your Modesty to Swim

Hey neighbors!!

We took a recent trip down to Florida for a few days. Normally we would have gotten in the water a couple times, but wouldn't you know, this trip there was a tropical storm coming in. So the beaches were closed, except for walking along the shore. We still had a good time, but I think the girls would have enjoyed the water.

Speaking of getting in the water, what do you wear to swim? Do you have to compromise your modesty to enjoy the shore or lake? We long ago set down modest standards for our family. The girls often wore a short sleeve t-shirt over a pair of culottes or a light weight skirt with leggings underneath.

Fast forward to today, and you now have many more options. Several companies are carrying modest swimwear like Lyra Swim. I love having options to choose from, that are not only modest, but many are pretty and fashionable. They are also made of swimwear materials that are light weight and that shed some of the water, rather than walking around with a soaking wet, heavy skirt on. Lyra also has head coverings for those ladies that prefer to keep their heads covered.

So if you are looking for modest swimwear, check out Lyra.

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child. Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First TV. Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age. And it works! Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life. Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words. Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing. There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along. The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish. Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer. Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.
