It's all a result of their bustling calendars, work or absence of concentrate on themselves. As an understudy I should concede that I have not been eating carefully but rather due to this I will begin now. It could help me make the most of my nourishment and time alone. Eating carefully may help me know about sound sustenance and acknowledging nourishment. <a href="http://mycreativecreation.com/about/" rel="nofollow">Kids toys</a>Will smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13854316866799061816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1653992368546779574.post-36945676189136182552016-06-21T15:03:30.628-05:002016-06-21T15:03:30.628-05:00I think maybe you posted this comment in the wrong...I think maybe you posted this comment in the wrong thread?

Bike everywhere – Have had kids in front, in back – some of the first kids in Amsterdam with mandatory helmut policy (mine). When my second was born I bought a “bakfiets” which is translated: a box bike – It has a box in front that seats 4 (and for a while a baby car seat and 2 kids) and a seat on the back for a bigger kid. So all in all – a bicycle built for 6 that I power with my own legs. I can also get a weeks worth of groceries in there! but can still take it out for a long bike ride! Love my bike!!!! Great to see you biking in NYC.thanks!Aliza Sartorhttp://babyinform.com/cloth-diaper-reviewsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1653992368546779574.post-47972068086253053512015-06-17T08:21:24.871-05:002015-06-17T08:21:24.871-05:00No doubt traveling and picnic is good for kids hea...No doubt traveling and picnic is good for kids health and mental growth but same importance can be given by <a href="http://barnebazar.no/" rel="nofollow">Barneprodukter</a> to your kids like educational toys, role play toys etc.Barnebazarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14793783320144819115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1653992368546779574.post-62983930110022598532014-10-06T00:07:46.601-05:002014-10-06T00:07:46.601-05:00Nice Info!

Ours is the only species capable of such selfishness and arrogance as to manipulate, imprison, neglect, and harm other species for entertainment. Thank you for planting seeds of compassion in our fellow humans. <br />Rina Deych, RN<br />Founding Member<br />Alliance to End Chickens as Kaporosrrrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03127697372643425578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1653992368546779574.post-59568444289955938112013-03-27T11:21:27.041-05:002013-03-27T11:21:27.041-05:00You are a beautiful person, a rare one!

Buying baby chicks for kids really isn't a Jewish custom (neither are baby "Easter bunnies" -- we do not celebrate Easter), so I was afraid I might be overstepping my bounds here, criticizing somebody else's holiday. But the issue for me is kindness to animals, and that really knows no denomination.<br /><br />Ironically, my first pet chicken was an Easter chick that one on my non-Jewish friends got and then decided not to keep after he started crowing. I took him in and had him for years, but most are not so lucky.

The ducks & geese won't be back until much later. (Return of the Canada geese is always a thrilling sign of spring here.) One could, however, find a nature film about waterfowl and watch that -- I'm sure PBS has something online.<br /><br />For those of us who do not celebrate Easter, Earth Day comes in April, so that fits in with spring cleanup and ecological awareness. Our Cub Scout troop does a cleanup project for Earth Day.Yonassan Gershomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07918610823274529036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1653992368546779574.post-67352603852883369742013-03-20T19:39:09.815-05:002013-03-20T19:39:09.815-05:00Thank you for your post on baby chicks and ducklin...Thank you for your post on baby chicks and ducklings for Easter. I have an alternative idea for little children for Easter. How about organizing a group of little children to help clean up a watershed of trash? After the project is done reward the children with an Easter fruit and nut basket.<br /><br />Take a digital camera to the habitat and video tape ducks, geese, and other water birds pairing off, mating and raising their young then show the video on television.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1653992368546779574.post-87785370784933474802013-03-20T14:26:01.098-05:002013-03-20T14:26:01.098-05:00Dear Rabbi Gershom, thank you for your excellent a...Dear Rabbi Gershom, thank you for your excellent and informative blog post on the "Easter" chick issue.
