It’s that time of year again, your child’s cubby starts filling up with art projects that you are so delighted to see, but you just don’t know where to put them all. Whether you have a little “Monet” who loves to make an impression with finger paint, or your “Matisse” brings home a “mixed media on white cardstock” project, choosing how to preserve those precious master pieces and coming to terms with what to do with those not-so-impressionistic ones, can be challenging.
Local mom and professional organizer, Jennie Glasscock from
Organize & Harmonize, has done the homework for us and offers tips on what do with your child’s artwork after your fridge runs out of space.

In the next couple of weeks the FDA is expected to make an announcement banning all cough and cold medicines for kids four and under.
The great news is that the leading green phyto-pharmica company in Germany,
Bionorica,is launching their #1 doctor recommended healthy sinus, respiratory and immune support for kids (Sinupret for kids) in the US. It is an organic, plant-based formula that has been clinically tested as safe and effective to help your kids during the cold and flu season. Sinupret for Kids is endorsed by Dr. Sears and Dr. Gordan.
The company is offering parents the opportunity to try the product for free, through an “influencer program” promotion. If you have a child between the ages of two and eleven, and have an interest in using holistic remedies, you can qualify to receive a wellness gift bag from Binorica.
The gift bag will consist of: a cosmetic bag, a sample size Sinupret for kids, a full size Sinupret for adults, children's binoculars, a tissue pack, two character figurines, a discount card for future product purchases, and a copy of “The Healthiest Kid in the Neighborhood” by Dr. Sears.
If you would like to enter to receive a gift bag, e-mail Diana Haggerty, a pre-natal and post-natal fitness instructor, at
dtrain@workshopfitnessaustin.com with the following information:
your name, address, email, phone number, occupation, marital status, number and ages of kids. Also, please answer the following questions:
What do you currently give your kids when they are sick? What groups and hobbies are you interested in? Why are you an
"influencer"?
