Awareness Video Test

I was at a math workshop and the presenter had tons of great video clips to use within classroom settings. This awareness test was great. We did the original version and I just watched the newer version. When we watched the original video, I still did not see what I was suppose to see. So I came home and it was obvious- although I can see how I missed it! Watch both and see what you think.

Honey and Allergies

A friend was telling me how a swarm of honey bees built a hive under a building at her place of business. At that moment of our conversation, a bee keeper was getting the bees out- she said it was an amazing sound going in the building with the buzz of the bees.

She told the bee keeper that she wanted some of the honey so that she could help her allergies. Around here, the orange blossoms smell wonderful but they reek havoc on some of us (my family included). She had read how the local honey helps allergies. Because it is filled with the pollen that causes the histamine reaction, you are self medicating your immune system to tolerate the pollens. Since the closer to your home the honey is cultivated is the best honey to have, she has the perfect stash! It is just like getting an allergy shot but in a tasty dose.

Publix Online Shopping List and Meal Deals

A parent of my little girl's friend told me a great tip for those Publix shoppers. Not only does their website have a great tip for meal deals for $15 updated weekly, it also has a list of the BOGO (buy one get one) items of the week! How neat is that! I could not believe the wealth of information on the site.

The best thing was the online shopping list. You can create you own list ready to go to the store using featured products, weekly ads, and the Aprons Simple Meals. All you do is show the shopping list for that Aprons Meal and click next to the item and it is on your list, ready to go to the store.

And I hate going to the store without a list! A definite time saver- the recipes, the ads, the BOGOs, and the shopping list. Too much excitement for one site!

BTW- I made this Angel Lush cake this week for an Easter party- and believe it or not- my mom made it today (without ever talking to me) for our family Easter dinner! It is a definite winner!
