cool beans and other stuff

Some of the more interesting web sites I have discovered in the last month include this site from the Family Fun magazine: Fun stuff for Parents, Kids and more... And just in time for the holidays, you can find lots of interesting things to do with your children or grandchildren at their link for Thanksgiving 2007 minisite... There is also a link through this site to smilebox.com where Mom or Grandma can design recipe cards to share via email, print it or blog it.

Several educational sites include one called Letterpop.com which can be used to create newsletters without downloading software. If you need help teaching music to your kids at home or school, you might find this site useful - it is called Songs for teaching.com The website includes lyrics, sound clips, and teaching suggestions for thousands of songs. If you want to read a book but do not want to purchase it, or maybe the book is out of print, you might find what you need at daily lit.com. You can sign up for free and receive a part of the book via email once or twice a week, or even every day. The autobiography I chose was written by none other that Benjamin Franklin (way back in the 1700's) and it will be coming to me in 75 parts via email - about three times a week. You can read the email on line or print it out to read when you are ready.
