Eragon

 Christopher Paolini is one of my son’s favorite authors.  He started reading the first book when he was in 5th grade.  The whole series of books is called The Inheritance Cycle.  He started writing Eragon, the first book in the series, when he was 15.  He was being homeschooled at the time and his family was crucial in helping him publish his first book.  In fact, a character in his book is named Angela, after his sister.

Making eating fun! Fred, Food Face plate

My son has had the Fred Food Face for years.  It makes it fun to eat!  This is a great gift too!

“Here’s a chance for junior to play with his food and exercise his creativity at the same time!  Go ahead- give Food Face a mashed potato mullet or a Mac-and- cheese mustache.  But why stop there?  Between bites, try out some stylin broccoli sideburns with a dashing baked bean beret.  It’s deliciously fun!  Food Face is 8.5” diameter and crafted from hotel quality, food-safe, high-fire ceramics.  Wouldn’t you have loved this when you were a kid?  “

Science Center Museum- near USC

The Science Center Museum near USC in Southern California has a new exhibit, “Dogs,” and my son and I recently visited it!  I think this exhibit is best for children 12 and under.  My son said he learned about how dogs started from wolves, and how wolves and dogs have similar social systems.  My son says, “It is all pretty cool!”  We go annually and enjoy catching the new exhibits!
