Neenah Paper Astrobrights... A Rainbow of Color

Two months into the school year and my oldest son comes home with the first Science project of the school year. I try, I really try not to get overly involved in my kids' projects but there's nothing wrong with helping your kids with their homework.

My kid was tasked with creating either a plant or animal cell. He had to include at least ten parts of the cell and a key with descriptions. He chose to create an animal cell and made my day by asking me to help. Woohoo!!! I grabbed a ream of Neenah Astrobrights paper, some markers and a glue gun from the homework cabinet and we were ready to work.

Neenah Paper Astrobrights Colored Card Stock and Neenah Paper Astrobrights Colored Paper come in over a dozen ultra bright colors. The card stock is a heavy 65 lb. cardstock perfect for posters, flyers and making animal cell posters. Using a diagram from his book as a guide, we created one of the brightest plant cells ever! His teacher gave him an "A" and asked if he could display our, I mean my kid's work, in the classroom. I wish I had snapped a pic of his project before sending it to school with him, but I never expected the teacher to keep it. Usually, the projects are returned to the kids within in a few days, but our animal cell poster was such a hit that my kid's teacher decided to keep it while they continue their studies on animal and plant cells.

Next time I will be sure to snap a pic and share.

Life is a Beach Giveaway Hop

Spring is in full swing. The birds are singin'. The pollen is falling and temps are FINALLY warming up. So what better time time to start planning our Summer getaways. This year - as always - we are beach bound. It's one of our fave places to visit given we only get to the beach once or twice a year. Last year's visit to Cozumel was one for the record books. We stopped by this little restaurant and dined on grilled shrimp in a cabana right on the beach. 'Ohana also has a line of tequilas in flavors I had never seen before. Tropical flavors such as coconut, mango and pina colada. Hubby and I tried the 'Ohana peanut butter tequila. The owner said folks either love it or hate it... we LOVED it!!! As I was sipping all I could think of was how good this peanut butter tequila would taste as a baste on my tequila wings. It would be like a tequila satay wings type dish. * * * G I V E A W A Y * * * One lucky Three ...
