Dear Friend,
Blessings, Janice Campbell P.S. If you're on Twitter, I'd love to connect. You can follow me at http://twitter.com/everydayedu, and I'll be sure to follow you in return. I enjoy connecting there. NewsConferences I'll be attending this year: ENOCH in NJ: May 14-15, 2010 HEAV in VA: June NoVA in VA: July Give Your Child the Benefit of the DoubtIt always worries me when I hear parents suggest a child is careless or lazy. While I don't doubt that some are, I'd like to encourage you to be very careful with words like that. Childhood is a very vulnerable time, and a parent's words can sink deep. My blog post of this morning has some things you may want to consider.
Spicy Apricot ChickenAnother non-recipe that our family enjoys. Make plenty, as these are very good left over. Try cutting up one leftover piece and adding mayonnaise or sour cream, plus almonds and grapes, to make it into chicken salad for one;-).
Mix preserves and pepper flakes and brush or spoon over salted and peppered chicken pieces. Broil or grill until nicely done. Enjoy! I think this was originally a Martha Stewart recipe. Invitation to Write for the Everyday Education Website
One of the things I want to do in 2010 is to expand the website to embrace more of the learning areas I believe to be important. For this purpose, we've created a new section on the Everyday Education website, and it's called "Life Management." It's designed to encompass all those things that round out a learning lifestyle, including: * Home I have many articles I want to write for this section, but I know that there is a great deal of accumlated wisdom and knowlege among my readers. I'd like to offer you and your older students the opportunity to contribute articles, recipes, patterns, book reviews, or other helpful information to the Life Management section. Think of things that would be helpful to others and are in keeping with home and family values, and submit them, following the guidelines below. We'll publish as many items as possible. Submission Guidelines Articles can be of any length, but I ask that they be spell-checked and proofread before submission. Please submit in .rtf or plain text format, or even pasted into an e-mail message. Please do not submit anything in Microsoft Word. Format should be web-style, with a space between paragraphs, rather than an indention. As always, there should be only one space after each sentence. If you would like to submit a photo with your article, recipe, pattern, book review, or other submission, please save it as a .jpeg or .gif and attach it to your e-mail submission. At the end of each submission, please include a brief bio of yourself with a link to your blog or website if you have one, and if you like, a small photo. As a sample, here's the bio I include at the end of my articles:
I hope you've enjoyed this edition of the e-zine. Please feel free to share it in its entirety with others, and invite them to subscribe.

I hope you're enjoying the first signs of spring (or fall, if you're in the southern hemisphere). I have a vase of daffodils on my desk, and a branch of Rose of Sharon in the sunroom, where its warm rosy blossoms glow against the cloudy sky just outside the window. I'll admit to having favorite seasons, but my very favorite parts of the year are the transitions. I love to see one season dissolving into another.
