I have wanted a Josh Groban CD for quite some time. I finally received a Josh Groban CD and DVD from Brock. I crawled into my warm, comfy bed and enjoyed an evening of Josh Groban.
If you enjoy music CD’s and would like to add your logo to the CD, choose from several choices at the following link:
From the time I was a baby, I loved blankets. My mom used to tell everyone that I was her best baby because I would suck my thumb and cuddle my blanket.
Even though I finally gave up my thumb, I have never given up my love for blankets. My husband says the reason I love blankets is because I am always cold, but I think he is always hot. When it is chilly, everyone in the crowd will be wearing a jacket or cuddled in a blanket, with the exception of my husband and a few other overheated males.
A fairly new trend in the blanket market is Sweatshirt Blankets. The same adjectives that describe a sweatshirt, comfortable and soft, describe sweatshirt blankets too. We offer 100% polyester, along with cotton and polyester blends. Screen printed or embroidered, we offer colors from basic black to Carolina blue.
There’s also traditional fleece blankets like the Fleece Throw Blanket and Classic Fleece Blanket that come in a variety of colors. I prefer anti-pill fleece blankets like the Fleece Throw Blanket because I don’t like little furry balls on my blanket. I prefer soft, smooth warmth from blankets.
Another top choice is the Large Oversize Stadium Blanket with whip stitching around the outer parameters and a carrying case. Take this blanket along to outdoor plays, and of course, ball games.
Since I viewed the educational DVD, “A More Perfect Union” Sunday, I have been feeling patriotic and grateful for my American heritage.
In commeration of the National Constitution Awareness Week, here are some patriotic promotional products that I recommend:

Two hundred and twenty years ago today, the Constitution of the United States was signed by all eleven states that were in attendance at the Congressional Convention in 1787.
My nephew, Jordan, chose to educate some of his neighbors, associates, and relatives about his studies of the U.S. Constitution for his Eagle project. This is such a unique idea that it took months for the Eagle project to be approved, but I am glad that Jordan and his mother persevered because I have certainly been enlightened by the information my nephew shared with me.
Did you know that this week is National Constitution Awareness Week? Neither did I and most everyone I spoke to about Constitution Awareness Week had never heard of it before either. Jordan provided me with a PBS documentary called “A More Perfect Union” along with a small study guide to enhance my learning experience of the circumstances that surrounded the drafting and ratification of the Constitution.
Jordan challenged me to share my experience with others, and to consider passing it on to my children’s school teachers and administrators. I didn’t hesitate this morning as I took this educational DVD to American Fork High and Jr. High Schools. Both principals were receptive to the idea of showing the DVD in history classes. It is not only legal to do so, it is encouraged by George W. Bush to teach about the U.S. Constitution. There is not a curriculum in place to teach about the Constitution so these five 30 minute presentations were welcomed as a possible teacher’s aids.
This documentary depicts James Madison the author of the Constitution, small in stature, but a brilliant, educated mind. Thomas Jefferson, who was serving in France as an ambassador, supplied Madison with a continual flow of books about past governments, many of which failed. James Madison devoured the information in these books prefatory to writing the Constitution.
Madison intended to amend the Articles of Confederation, but it didn’t take him long to realize that the Articles of Confederation needed to be abolished and so he began drafting the Constitution that has so magnificently served our country for over two hundred years………………….. For the rest of the details, consider purchasing or arranging to view this DVD.
One of the most known icons is the Statue of Liberty. It represents the United States of America and the freedom that emigrants desired. The statue was the first and most memorable introduction to the U.S. as they came through New York harbor. The promotional Statue of Liberty stress toy for your election campaign will generate community patroism like our the first emigrants had as they sought to seek and build a democratic government.
Red, white, and blue remind us of our heritage and freedom. Many American’s displayed the red, white and blue of the flag during the dark days after September 11. The patriotic feeling which comes from the red, white and blue of the USA flag is available in political campaign and election stress toys too.

Political election campaigns using these colors remind voters of their desire to maintain representatives in government that they sustain and support.
My husband is a guitar lover. His guitar is second to me. My husband says he has two women in his life, his soft body wife, and his hard body guitar. He says he enjoys the curves of both.
I am trying to appreciate my husband’s love of guitar music, but honestly I find it loud and interferring most of the time. At the end of the day my husband loves to sit on the side of his bed playing his guitar. I can tell it helps him to unwind so I try to be patient with the noise that he so loves.
He also enjoys collecting guitar picks of all kinds. His favorite are promotional guitar picks with logos on them:
He also likes guitar keytag holders.
I have raised four teenagers, and have two more ages 14 and 16. I continue to find the balance between “Choose for Yourself”, and “You have to do this because I know what is best for you”. Here are a couple of questions that I ask myself when deciding between “You Have To” or “Choose for Yourself” decisions.
1. How do I rate the choice my child is making: Unimportant, Kind of Important, Important, or Very Important.
For example:
If they want to wear a pink and brown t-shirt instead of a green and blue button down shirt, I could care less. Or if they would want yogart instead of cereal for breakfast, I don’t care and I consider these decisons as “Unimportant“.
They want to have a sleep over at a trusted friend’s house, but you feel they need to get a good night’s rest to compete in their track meet the next day, or they want to buy a gaming machine that I feel is a waste of money. I would consider these decision as ”Kind of Important”. Most of the time, decisions in this category have natural consequences that teach them to make better choices the next time.
I would rather work construction than go to college. I hate math and I am not going to do my homework tonight. I would categorize these decisions as “Important”. I have found that letting my children work a minimum wage job or some grungy job teaches them to quickly to apply themselves in school.
I am going to stay overnight at my boyfriend’s house. My friend offered me some cigarettes. Any decision that compromises moral values and character, I consider “Very Important”.
2. How will this decison affect them in the future? Will the natural consequences of this decision teach them a lesson about morals, responsibility, or relationships, or would it be better for them to wait a year or so to mature and grow up a little more before making this decision
3. What do my senses tell me is the best for this child? Sometimes the reason we as parents do things is “just because” we feel it is right; we don’t always need to give them an explanation of why.
I think when kids are young they need parameters, but then I think it is best to gradually modify the parameters to guidelines that give them a little added freedom each year. This added agency will give our children the opportunity to practice making decisions before they are adults facing many important, or very important decisions.
Playing the piano is a needed talent that brings one satisfaction and opportunties. For this reason, I am coaxing my son to take piano lessons by allowing him to play video games comparable to the amount of time he practices the piano. I actually do not approve of time spent (or rather time wasted) playing video games, but I am okay using them as an incentive to get my son to practice the piano.
My family is religious, and my husband and I have noted that there is always a shortage of accompanists at various church meetings and activities. Although my son doesn’t enjoy practicing the piano, I believe he will later appreciate the opportunties it will afford him.
My oldest daughter didn’t like practicing the piano when she was young either, but now she loves to play the piano and receives great joy serving others with her piano skills.
For those interested in piano promotional products, here are some cool ideas:
Our family went to a reunion for my husband’s side of the family last weekend. It reminded me of the movie, “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” where the family gets together and their biggest entertainment is eating. They EAT, and EAT, and EAT! Likewise, we ate and ate.
My favorite thing was watching the four newlywed couples be kissy-huggy with one another. Watching them brings back happy memories of long ago. I would imagine by this time next year there will be new babies on the reunion scene.
We went for a hike and saw some beautiful greenry and mountains. I brushed my arm against some stinging nettle and wished I would have been wise enough to bring a basic survival kit . It also would have been nice if I would have remembered my Outlook Binoculars to view some items of interest in the distance that we didn’t have time to hike over to.
The other item that I missed was a pocket knife like the Small Rosewood Pocket Knife .
