Teach Your Kids About the Orchestra

My kids came home from school today talking about a game they played in music class. We checked it out and I really like it. So if you want to teach your kids about the instruments in an orchestra check out Young Persons Guide to the Orchestra courtesy of Carnegie Hall.

DIY Ribbon Holder

My ribbon collection was out of control. While I was looking in my closet for a wooden dowel to make a ribbon box I discovered the perfect solution - the wire hanger!! Simply untwist the hanger at the top, slide spools on it, and retwist. Presto!

If you don't have any wire hangers dry cleaners often have extra hangers available for free.
