Product Name: Mia Bella Gourmet Jar Candles Submitted By: Lara Rating: 10+ Where to buy: Momma MiaDescription: 16oz. gourmet jar candles. Over 90 different fragrances to choose from! All jar candles use our proprietary natural wax blend.Review: Mia Bella Gourmet Jar Candles are truly the BEST candles I have ever used. Not only do they smell fabulous from start to finish, but they are virtually soot free. What do I mean? Ya know that black gunk that builds up on the side of most jar candles? Well, I rarely if ever see any soot and when I do it is so minimal that it does not even matter to me!These candles also burn evenly. I was SHOCKED when I discovered that candle after candle would burn nice and evenly all the way down to the bottom...practically NO waste!The smell factor.

TweetComputers – Do our kids NEED them?
In today's modern society, it is important that our kids have experience with computers. However, do they NEED them?? In my opinion, yes and no. LOL. Sorry to not have a clearer answer.

TweetHomeschool Corner – The Importance of Learning Styles
I recently finished reading Cathy Duffy’s book: “100 Tops Picks for Homeschool Curriculum.” If you have not read this book, I highly suggest it. Your may even be fortunate enough to be able to borrow a copy from your local library. In her books, she does not only detail some amazing homeschool curricula, but she also devotes a major part of the book to discussing and helping you assess your learning style and the learning styles of your children.Reading this book took my mind back to my time in college when I studies all about the different learning styles, sometimes referred to as multiple intelligences. I also remembered how important it is to know not only the learning styles of your children, but your learning style (and ultimately your teaching style) as well. When you know what methods of learning that you prefer, you will know what types of curricula you are most comfortable with teaching. Also, when you know the preferred learning styles of your children, you will have … [Read more...]
