Is There A Full Moon?

Do you ever wonder what is going on when a series of calamities happen to you or a family member? Do you think it is because there is a full moon? Does a full moon influence things in your life?

My husband, who is the most cautious person I know, almost backed his truck out of the garage without opening the garage door! We most definitely would have needed a garage door opener repair service man to repair that door. Yikes! Was there a full moon?

Our neighbor’s house was broken into and money was taken. This does not happen in our neighborhood! Was there a full moon?

Our dogs, who are usually the most laid back, non-aggressive creatures, have been fighting each other. They might have drawn blood if we stepped in to separate them. Is this due to a full moon?

A full moon is a lunar phase that occurs when the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. Did you know that the terms lunacy and lunatic are derived from the word lunar? There are on the average 12.37 full moons in a year so you might want to mark them on your calendar. Or, you could wrap yourself in bubble wrap.

Add to the Fun!

I don’t know what got us to start talking about the time a friend of ours dressed up as a huge bunny rabbit but it brought, once again, tears of laughter. There is nothing more fun than dressing up for an occasion.

Do you have a birthday party to celebrate? Want to add some fun and excitement to the party? HalloweenAdventure.com has everything you can imagine to make your party a success. They have party favors and other supplies but what I found to be the most fun are their costumes. Check out their historical and medieval costumes. Wouldn’t it be fun to dress up as Dolly Madison for this year’s fourth of July celebration? Don’t worry about finding your size. Whether you need a petite or Plus size costume they have a costume to fit. They even have costumes for pets!

I think it would be fun to have a costume party to celebrate the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie coming out in a few weeks. Shop for Halloween Costumes | Plus Size Costumes | Chidrens Costumes at this unique Halloween Costume Store.

Great Idea!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Kidzmet for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

My dad was in the Air Force and we got orders to move many times during my childhood. In fact, I went to 14 different schools before graduating high school. You have heard the saying, what doesn't kill ya, makes ya stronger. Well, that was my mantra. I don't know how my mom survived with three crying girls who were devastated knowing we had to move, yet again. You know what though? I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. I made new friends and learned about new places.

The one thing that would have been helpful would have been a Kidzmet Pairing Portrait to introduce us to each new teacher. That would have let her know what areas we needed help in and of which areas we excelled. Luckily, there were many kids from military homes and I think the teachers helped us adjust as best as they could.

Kidzmet uses a screening process to record your child's personality type and learning style. With this information, a teacher is informed and better equipped to help each student entrusted to their care. This process would help teahcers and students no matter the situation. You can read more about it and sign up for a free Kidzmet membership to find out more about your child's personality type, talents and primary learning style .
