Adventures await all around

It’s a big world and many adventures await, but are you overlooking backyard adventure because it’s been so long since you were a child? Does you child or grandchild know where you lived when you were a kid? Not just the state and city but have they seen the house?

Have they been to the state capital; the closest national forest or park?

Joanne O’Sullivan has written a new book, “101 Places You Gotta See Before You’re 12,” that encourages parents and grandparents to embark on an exhilarating scavenger hunt of discovery.

The book comes with stickers to mark the suggested places of adventure. Available at http://clickserve.cc-dt.com/link/click?lid=41000000026512864 the book helps children grasp a greater appreciation of locality, history and community.

Great gift, great fun, great learning experience and, at $9.95, a great price.

 

Keeping happy feet

Also on the Chinaberry Web shop is, if not the answer, at least a solution to that age-old mystery why socks can’t seem to stay in pairs.

 

http://clickserve.cc-dt.com/link/click?lid=41000000026512852 offers ‘a pair and a spare’ - three matching socks for $18.95.

The wild colored socks are definitely for the young or the young-at-heart and look like a fun little gift for any gal to craves happy looking feet.
