Team Imhoff: {Office Clip + Phone Charger} Hope everyone is having a great Monday. It's a little slow here ... I am trying to get everything back in working order after being gone all weekend. Here's to the start of SUMMER for me anyways :) This is just a little something that I have found useful. This is attached to my nightstand, so now I don't have to reach down and grab it every night.
Kids. 10 Surprising Brain Builders for Preschoolers. Ava is having a great time with her electronic animal sounds game. When the computerized voice hee-haws, the two-year-old cries out, “dun-kee!” And presses the donkey picture on the touch pad. This gizmo also has games for identifying colours, number and shapes. Ava now knows two dozen animals and 30 colours, including obscure ones like magenta. Three-year-old Tyler and his dad are “camping” in the spare bedroom.
They pitch their tent by stretching out some sheets. Which of these activities does the most to help a child get ready to learn at school? There’s nothing wrong with Ava learning the names of animals and colours, but Tyler’s imaginary camping game is actually doing more to prepare him to be a good learner. Huh?

Fast forward to her modelling days, and overnight, she became a sensation. From Richard Avedon to Tim Walker to Steven Meisel, she was photographed by all the greats and landed on the cover of Vogue six-times. The infamous Tom Ford for YSL Opium campaign, where Sophie appeared, stark naked and smooth as butter cream on larger-than-life billboards caused a scandal, and still remains one of the most talked about adverts of the last 50-years. In 2003 Sophie launched her writing career with a beautifully illustrated novella, The Man with the Dancing Eyes. Read more Netflix & SPC: Get Crafty for Earth Month with our easy diorama Read more.
