#Kalahari Going Green

I am so excited that the hubby and I are planning a night away from the kids and going to the great Kalahari resort in Wisconsin Dells. Its going to be a much needed time away with him. I LOVE HIM and it will be great to get away with out my kids, I do love them but mommy and daddy need some mommy and daddy time.

One of the neat things that I think the Kalahari is leading the hotel industry in would be their green initiative. Here are some of the neat things they are doing to help our environment:

1. They have a partnership with Clean the World to recycle soap and shampoo products and donating them to impoverished people, which is helping to prevent millions of deaths caused by hygiene related illness every day.

2. Their lights are advanced and leading with their energy saving fluorescent light bulbs, motion sensor lights in public areas, low-flow dishwasher spray heads, digital thermostats in guest rooms, low water consumption in the water parks, lower heating costs in the water park by installation of massive fans that push warm air to floor.

3. The roof top uses solar panels which heat more than 50% of the hot water for the resorts facilities.

A big thank-you to the Kalahari for creating such a great facility that is staying GREEN.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words. These are broken down into six sets of five words. The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Packing for your first ski trip

Pexels - CCO Licence So, you're gearing up for your first ski trip and the excitement is as thick as the snow you're about to conquer. But before you can show off those freshly learned pizza and French fry stops, you’ve got to pack. Packing for a ski trip can feel like preparing for a chilly expedition to the North Pole, but fear not! With these nifty tips, you'll be ready to hit the slopes in style and comfort. 1. Layer Like a Lasagna Think of your ski outfit as a gourmet lasagna: each layer is crucial. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer (yes, that includes thermal underwear) to keep you dry and snug. Over that, layer a warm and breathable mid-layer—think fleece or a wool sweater that can handle the chill. Top it all off with a waterproof and windproof jacket and pants. Remember, it's all about layers that you can add or peel off because sweating while you ski is less fun than a snowball in the face. 2. Keep Those Fingers Cosy Cold hands can ruin a...
