Parent reviews of Bond&Beyond are great!

"It really positively affected our relationship. He looked forward to coming home so we could do something together from the box. He even asked for more games when we finished." – Maria
Blue text on cream background that reads: "My daughter loved them. She would ask me every day when she got home, 'Can we do another project?' and after we finished, she'd ask for another one." – Gemma Blue text on teal background that reads: "I wasn't stressed about the mess because everything was easy to control, and they even gave a heads-up about which activities might get messy." Sarah Blue text on yellow background that reads: "I was surprised by how quickly she absorbed the new vocabulary. After one activity, she started calling herself an 'astronomer' and talked about constellations." Mary Cream text on a brown background that reads, "One activity really helped with his fine motor skills. At first, he couldn't keep the air in a balloon, but after a few tries, he could. I was so proud!" Susan

I want to share a fabulous brand new project with fun educational activities for your little ones that my sister developed the curriculum for, called Bond & Beyond.

(Yes, that's the Master's- in-education-from- Cambridge-having-one. 👩‍🎓🥰)

Scroll down this thread for the link!
Colorful geometric background with text that says, "All-in-one activity boxes. How does it work? Simple steps to meaningful moments. Bond & Beyond." Image of the Bond & Beyond subscription box and text that reads: "What's in the box? 8 engaging activities designed by experts. Parental guide with easy instructions plus tips to extend the learning experience. All materials included from tools to supplies, everything you need."

I put a library hold on this book months ago, but some things just arrive at the right time.

"Democracy, If We Can Keep It: The ACLU’s 100-Year Fight for Rights in America" by Ellis Cose is extraordinary writing and a well-researched and compelling history. 💙📚 🗃️

In addition to the vital research the NIH does, they are a vital economic driver for this country.

For every $1 spent in NIH research grants, their work drives $2.46 of economic activity.

On this dark day, a day that converges the inauguration of that man with honoring one of our greatest historic civil rights leaders, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. continues to share sadly relevant wisdom for the day.

You're WELcome. 🎭 👩‍🎤 💅 It's a canon experience, I fear.

Honorable mentions to IHOP and Steak and Shake. 🏆

Sometimes you have friends who just get you. I laughed so freaking hard when this arrived on my doorstep.

Absolutely flawless choice. 10/10, no notes. Sensational. This will make me smile every Christmas until the end of time.

Along with 73 batrillion others, I made Tini's viral baked mac & cheese for Thanksgiving today.

Slightly bummed that I got busy and missed my timing for getting that iconic stretchy cheese vid from the first scoop since it had cooled too much, but it had good flavor. Smoked paprika FTW.

The difference in my face from Sep to Nov is major as I move through 36 sessions of TMS* for treatment-resistant depression. You can watch the life returning to my eyes.

And so it begins...

*squee!* TYSM to my super early Secret Santa!

So excited to dive into #Mistborn. I *almost* hope I hate it since the #Cosmere is such a commitment at 16 novels and 13 novellas... and counting. Almost, but not really. #brandonsanderson

Please, for the love of Oz, wait for designated sing-alongs to add your voice when you go to see #Wicked in theatres. Cynthia does NOT need Pitchy Patti as backup.

I'm with Shepherd Book from #Firefly on this one: there's a special hell for ppl who talk (or #sing) in the #theatre.

2/20 "The Vulnerable Observer: Anthropology That Breaks Your Heart"- @ruthbehar.bsky.social

#booksky #bookchallenge #booknerd #booklovers #books #ethnography #folklore
Book cover for "The Vulnerable Observer: Anthropology That Breaks Your Heart" by Ruth Behar. A face with feminine features fills the field behind the title, colored in muted purples, beiges, and browns. Meme of red heart and in a white square, with cracks in both. Text is a centered quote that reads: “Call it sentimental, call it Victorian and nineteenth century, but I say that anthropology that doesn’t break your heart just isn’t worth doing anymore.” Ruth Behar, The Vulnerable Observer

Did y'all know that an (unofficial) #Appalachian flag exists?

I stumbled across this yesterday, and I actually quite like it.

It's apparently a very recent community-curated design, finalized in 2023.
Image of Appalachian flag, which is reminiscent of a quilt, using patchwork color blocks to symbolize yellow sky, blue mountains, and green forests. An off-white eight pointed quilt star appears at center.
