Jack Be Nimble Inspired Writing


Have your child practice writing their name by putting it into a rhyme and then thinking of another word or picture that begins with the same sound as their name. There is nothing as powerful as using a child's own name!
Here is a Jack Be Nimble Inspired worksheet to get you started.

Oregon Chai Twitter Party


I first fell in love with Chai tea at Starbucks, but it can get pretty pricey, and fairly inconvenient to go get my favorite tea when I have 6 boys to run after! Thank goodness I found Oregon Chai at the grocery store, and I could enjoy it anytime of the day with a lot more in my bank account. 

Oregon Chai will be hosting a Twitter party to celebrate its new 10-ounce canister product on Tuesday August 10 from 8–9 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. Wellness expert Peggy Hall will be hosting the event and will be sharing Me Time tips and answering guests’ questions. As a mom of all boys, I know how precious ME Time can be!  There will also be plenty of giveaways and one participant will win the $100 Me Time Supreme prize! Follow @OregonChai @oregonchaijulie and @PeggyHall to join in on the fun! The party hashtag is #Chaifor10.

If you want to learn more about Oregon Chai before the party, head over to their homepage, Twitter, and Facebook pages here:

Disclosure: This post and Twitter Party are sponsored by Oregon Chai.  I have not been compensated for this post, but have entered to win a $50 Visa gift card.  However, the opinions are solely mine and I do love their tea for my ME TIME!
