[Jennifer Levinson]

I hope everyone had a nice weekend and was able to stay cool. I was reading the Sunday paper(because that is one of the luxury's of being on bed rest!) and came across the 2009 Pantages schedule. I LOVE musicals and the line up seems incredible. It says that tickets just went on sale and that packages start as low as $124.50 for 4-show packages.

The Corn Stripper comes apart for easy cleaning and all parts are dishwasher safe.

Matzah Ball Books 
Their mission is to foster love for and pride in Yiddish and all things Jewish. Consistent with an upsurge of endeavors to preserve Yiddish culture, Matzah Ball Books was created to give young children access to, understanding of and affinity for Yiddishisms. Written in English, each Matzah Ball book is named for a character with a Yiddish word that describes a central attribute of his or her personality. For example, Shmutzy Girl is always dirty and Kvetchy Boy is always complaining. In each book, the protagonist learns a lesson connected with his or her namesake trait (e.g. Shmutzy Girl learns to accept herself shmutz (dirt) and all, and Kvetchy Boy learns when to complain and when not to do so.) These fun and lively picture books put the joy and color of Yiddish into a form young people adore - and will make any bubbe or zaide kvell (proud).  http://www.matzahballbooks.com/firstpage.htm

  
giddygiddy 
Created by Teri Dimalanta, investment analyst turned craftaholic mom. She is most giddy when sewing, painting, designing and making stuff. It was as if turning into a mom 4 years ago ignited the inner artist and crafter. What inspired these handmade felt creations for little girls' pretty little melons? The desperate need to tame her new daughter's unwieldy mohawk with something cool, quirky, and fun. Equally important to creating adorable designs is making the clips functional and safe. These clips are intricately handcrafted with a snap clip sewn securely inside. They are designed to stay on, even on baby fine hair. Play, stay young at heart, and always be giddygiddy! http://www.giddygiddy.com/designs.htm
