A Lesson for Every Child: Learning About Food Allergies – a book review

A Lesson for Every Child: Learning About Food Allergies 

by Sally Huss with Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino

 

This book is about a serious subject that kids face everyday and it’s addressed in a fun upbeat way. My godsons both have life threatening allergies. They have been misunderstood so many times. I’m so happy this book is available for children to learn empathy and to help give kids with allergies confidence.
The illustrations are so whimsical and fun! I will be recommending this book to everyone I know who has kids as well as teachers.

Self-Confident Sandy – a book review

Self-Confident Sandy 

by Sally Huss with Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino

I find this book very refreshing because it sends a message of self confidence in a realistic can-do type of way. Not only that but it includes everyone, even the reader, and helps us all to happily value what’s inside of us.
For people without kids or with grown kids, this book would make a wonderful gift for friends and family that have children. It’s very delightful!

The Swiss Family Robinson – What The Hell!

I read the Illustrated Classic Edition of Treasure Island to my boys as they were supposed to be drifting off to sleep. When finished reading the book I started the same kind of book for Swiss Family Robinson. It was originally written by a professor, Johann Wise, born in 1781, the son of a pastor and a man of faith himself.

So far I have only read six chapters and I feel just awful about it. It seems every time I pick this book up to read to my boys some exotic animal is killed. It would be more understandable if the family had no food and were starving to death but the author makes it very clear that these marooned folks have more then enough from the beginning. It makes reading the kids a bed time story more like reading a horror story.

I figured that since I got this far with it I may as well make it a learning exercise by explaining to them how humans in the past didn’t think much of animals and well, I just had to add, women.  Although much has changed and education has improved it is still a problem to this day.

Many of us now understand that you don’t just go to some newly discovered island and start killing random animals. Some of us have shed the god image that humans have adorned themselves with for centuries and chosen to open our minds up to the idea that animals and other genders and colors may also have thoughts, feelings, intelligence and such.

I’m not a vegetarian, but I respect the idea. Actually if I were in a better financial state I wouldn’t mind being vegetarian. But every now and then I seriously crave meat. Still, I don’t think it’s good to over due it. And in the case of the Robinsons, they had an abundance as it was and didn’t need to kill more to survive. I would say they had quite the god complex. If that story were true and more folks like them settled on the Island I am pretty sure all it’s resources and beauty would be used up and long gone by now.

I have seem the film several times but it’s been a long time so I don’t recall exactly how the film handles it. I don’t remember if I had read the book before or not.

I went through the small book and roughly wrote down most of the animals they killed. I may have missed some.

Clairol Nice ‘n easy vs. Garnier HerbaShine

Lori’s product review

by Lori K. Hobbs on Sunday, May 23, 2010 at 3:05pm

Clairol Nice ‘n easy Natural Dark 112 Auburn from Wal Mart
My hair was it’s natural color of dark blond/light brown. It did highlight my hair with Auburn color, not extremely noticeable but it looked nice. My hair texture is what was most impressive. It made my hair silky smooth.
had some solution left over.

Garnier HerbaShine (5/23/10)
My hair was part natural color and part Auburn from the color mentioned above. I like the black hair color though there seems to be some brown left over here and there in back.I had to use the entire solution.
My hair feels like straw.
I will not purchase this brand again.

    Lori K. HobbsWhen I was Mrs. Hawaii 2008, Paul Mitchel Ulupono Academy was one of my few sponsors. They took care of my hair for free. The solution they used to color my hair was a temp. color which was supposed to last about 6 months. It lasted about 3 months for me cause I washed my hair every day. The solution was also very healthy for the hair and made my hair look beautiful and healthy.
