The Hour Countdown

And the minute countdown

So it's about 11:15pm on Thursday, December 30th. T minus 45 minutes to get the correct date stamp on this email newsletter and I've got a way to go.

My mind both full and empty as to how to fill up this commentary space.  So why not talk about resolutions? 'Tis the season afterall!

I've got my personal New Year's resolution, pretty much the same as last year...loose some weight.  This year my weight loss goal is bigger than last year's.  Go figure, I am heavier this year than I was last year at this time.  I started out great creating a Facebook page called "Fat Girl in a Skinny World".  It was a place where myself as well as others documented our daily successes and challenges of weight loss.  I had two previous successes with Weight Watchers, so I plugged into an old points program.  This time, I thought I could do it on my own (without the weekly meetings).  I was holding myself publicly accountable with the FGSW page. After two months, and a net loss of 4 pounds, I just quit. Read More...

I received my mailing for the Weight Watchers new program, Points Plus,  and "Join For Free" promotion.  This year, I will not fall down.  And if I do, I have a bit more cushion!

Now onto JAK's New Year's resolution.  In an effort to provide a more useful tool for you with this newsletter, JAK is committed to getting this weekly e-newsletter, JAK Happenings, out by noon each Thursday.  Imagine having this info delivered to you 12 hours ago?  I am, I could be in bed by now.

Happy New Year!

AWESOME Dad

Well, most are! I know your kid's daddy might not be tops in your book, yet, in the eyes of your child, he probably is. I am so grateful that when my husband and I mutually took the risk to vow to spend our lives together, then had/have children, (while not always perfect) he ended up being quite the awesome dad. Assist your child in sharing his/her celebration of dad. (Um, I am sure you know, Father's Day is next Sunday, June 17th).  Here's a great way to do that, pocket $100 gift card for your kiddo, and knock out that Father's Day gift!  Here's how...

Why is my Child Spooning Beans?                           The Importance of a Montessori Education Sponsored by Small World Montessori At first glance, a Montessori classroom is not like that of any other.  Upon entering you may find a child spooning beans between 2 dishes, another working with a map of South America, or playing the bells by scale.  These are just a few of the unique activities in a Montessori classroom. We offer a homelike environment in which we approach education of the "whole child" through hands on, self-directed activities. How is it possible that children are working independently at their own activities?   Read More... The environment is carefully staged with progressively difficult, self-correcting materials, and most instruction is delivered one on one. Our extensive curriculum spans from 2 1/2 through 6 years old.  The mixed age classroom allows the child to work at her own pace and since instruction is individual, no child is left behind or forced...

JAK Gives Birth!

It's A Blog! If you've been a JAK Happenings subscriber for some time, you're probably used to the format of this weekly email: big JAK logo at the top, partner banner ad, this commentary section, little index box, more fantastic partner ads, then the meat of the message...JAK Happenings calendar picks, finally some closing comments. I've made excuses for my lack of editorial correctness, as I do not claim to be a writer.
