David Cassidy was a big part of the TV show The Partridge Family. He played Keith Partridge, teen idol. This television show was the perfect escape for many pre-teen and teenage kids in the 1970s.

The BBC dramas available on DVD make great gifts for Christmas, birthdays, or any time. There is something for everyone with the selection of BBC dramas and miniseries available.
Period pieces like the BBC dramas Downton Abbey, Upstairs Downstairs, and Any Human Heart will charm the Anglophile in your life.
BBC dramas come in mystery form as well. Some of my favorites are Midsomer Murders and the Inspector Lynley Mysteries.

St. Patrick's Day coloring pages and crafts help children understand this holiday.
St. Patrick's Day is celebrated March 17 each year to honor Saint Patrick, who brought Christianity to Ireland. Legend says that Saint Patrick drove the snakes from Ireland, but that is not literally true. The reference more than likely refers to him driving away the pagan beliefs of the Irish people. The snake or serpent was worshiped by Pagans. Therefore, the legend of the snakes is considered to be symbolic, not actually true.
It is believed that Saint Patrick died on March 17 so that is why St. Patrick's Day is celebrated on that day. Since the St. Patrick's holiday started in Ireland, on this holiday all things Irish are celebrated like shamrocks, being lucky, and the colors green and gold.
It is traditional to wear green on St. Patrick's Day, to eat Irish food like corned beef and cabbage, and for children to celebrate with St. Patrick's Day crafts like coloring pages and other crafts.

You never know when you'll wish you had flood insurance coverage. Case in point: Recently a family member who lives in the Midwest had serious damage to his home after constant rains saturated the ground. His home was damaged when this rain soaked the ground causing the soil around his house to become water logged. His home's foundation caved in. The saturated soil swelled with water causing dirt and cement blocks to move from their usual place into his basement.
He didn't have flood insurance because he didn't think he needed it. And who would think this would be considered a flood? The circumstances were not what we think of as a flood. After all, he lives miles from a river or other water body that could overflow, and the ground didn't have standing water like you think of with a flood.
But the insurance adjuster called it a flood, and without flood insurance, his insurance company did not compensate him for the damage. Here's more information on what flood insurance is and why you might need flood insurance coverage.
Spiral art toys are so much fun. As a kid, I had one of the original Spirograph drawing sets, and I loved it!
There was nothing else like it: plugging your ink pen in one of the holes in the little plastic gear circle thingies with teeth that gripped the frame (also with teeth), twirling it around, and coming out with spiral art!
I remember using the different colored pens (red, blue, green, and black, if I recall correctly) all on the same paper. Often times, the spiral art pushed through the paper so that it was either torn clean through or close to it.
