New book available at Lunchpail Books:

“Peep Peep Finds a Friend”

The child in all of us notices the superficial differences in everything around us; but from the standpoint of innocence– diversity is neither good nor bad—we are just different. Peep Peep’s new friend Gua Gua captures that diversity that draws us together, not apart. Aren’t we more alike than we originally thought? “Gua Gua” by the way is the sound ducks make in China.

“Peep Peep the duckling
Tries hard to obey,
But it is not easy
To be good all day.”

Don’t we all have trouble being good all day!

Peep Peep is the precocious duckling who stars in “Peep Peep Comes Home” and “Peep Peep Takes a Walk”. This time while feeling a little bored meets an unusual looking duck named Gua Gua. Peep Peep eggs Gua Gua along and before they realize it they are in the midst of another adventure. Adventures when shared, bond acquaintances into friends.

In these tough economic times, many people are looking for ways to establish a home business. One reasonable and potentially exceptionally productive home business is the design and printing of children’s clothes.

Buying childrens or baby clothes at wholesale costs is important if you want to make certain that you can have a good price level for your finished clothing. Buying blank shirts off the shelf at the local big box retailer will guarantee that your costs are too expensive from the beginning.

The difficulty lots of beginning children’s clothing company owners have is sourcing clothes without huge order requirements. Most worldwide wholesalers require an order of tens of thousands of clothes and have a lead time including shipping of several months. There are, on the other hand, many online dealers of wholesale baby clothes that do not have large requirements. Unless you are assured of the level of opening sales, look for lesser minimums with a smaller order of a larger variety of sizes and colors. Try searching

The jury is out on what constitutes the "best" pet for children. On one side of the fence are those who say that it is the independent cat; perfectly happy to allow themselves to be observed from a safe distance, and occasionally deigning to allow a small sticky hand to give them a pat. On the other side of the pet fence are the dog lovers, who claim that no childhood is truly complete without the lapping tongue of a four-legged pal. Of course, there are those people who suggest that the best pet is no pet at all, but let’s ignore those people, shall we?

For apartment dwelling children, smaller pets are the best, and are, often times, the only choice. Fish are beautiful and relaxing to watch, but do not really give the whole pet experience. Small birds can be trained to sit on a gentle finger, but are susceptible to colds and drafts and are messy beyond belief, something you might consider if you are a true neatnik.
