Jardin Galerie: A Children's Art Gallery

Jardin Galerie A Children's Art Gallery http://www.jardingalerie.org Jardin Galerie was founded on the principle Art is important in child development, communication and education. This principle is based on several beliefs: Through the focused practice of a theme-based Art curriculum, young children construct and multiply development of their first mathematical instruments: proximity, separation, enclosure, order, and infinity; Through Art, children learn to communicate---read and write -- in a way that is natural and effective in a peaceful and fun environment; Art develops the "whole child" cognitively, emotionally and socially; Children express their own unique version of cultural heritage through Art.

Mommy Makeup ...for Chic Moms on-the-go!

www.mommymakeup.com 1-877-MOMMY-98 Debra Rubin-Roberts created Mommy Makeup based on her own personal experience as a professional makeup artist AND as a Mom. Mommy Makeup offers incredible multi-purpose products that simplify the makeup process and cut your application time in half! After giving birth to my daughter, I found I didn't have the time to sit in front of the mirror and put on a dozen or more individual products just to get a clean and polished look! ? And yet I STILL wanted to feel and look good. I just HAD to create an easier and better way! Each Mommy Makeup product does the job of 2 or 3 ordinary makeup products making your makeup and LIFE a whole lot simpler. And when you're a Mom, simple is good!

Meet the Nanny Speed Interviewing

To attend our next event, please register at www.meetthenanny.com/events.php or email us at info@meetthenanny.com for more information. Meet the Nanny was designed to assist busy moms and dads in their search for the right nanny. The concept was based on the phenomenal success of speed dating services whereby a group of singles are paired up on a series of multiple "mini-dates" in order to increase their odds of finding the right match. Our speed interviewing sessions allow each parent to briefly interview over 25 highly-qualified nannies to determine whether they are a potential fit. The parents can then directly contact those nannies that made a positive first impression, arrange for a more in-depth interview, and hire the right nanny for their family. Testimonial: "Thank you so much for a truly unique and valuable event for meeting nanny's. Meet the Nanny was a great way to meet many nannies in one place without the hassles of having to schedule individual appointments. My husband and I have very busy schedules and it was a great to meet so many nannies in just a couple of hours. It would have taken us weeks or even months to do it on our own My husband and I met many nannies who we feel could be a good match for our particular needs. The Meet the Nanny event was organized very well and came off smoothly. I would recommend the service to anyone who is looking for a high quality nanny in a short period of time."

The GoodFather gift CD-ROM for new and expecting dads by Dr.MOZ!

http://www.drmoz.com/products.html
The GoodFather is a custom-boxed CD-ROM that teaches new dads hundreds of baby skills and baby related definitions through a fun parody of a famous American gangster epic (The GodFather). The baby/parenting topics in The GoodFather CD-ROM were created for men by experienced dads and grandfathers, and edited by licensed nurse-midwives to ensure the material is medically sound.

In addition to the hundreds of baby skills lessons and definitions, The GoodFather also has a Baby Name Book with approximately 15,000 baby names and a Baby Card Maker which allows new dads to make and print out their own baby cards. New dads choose from dozens of "new dad" card-types with provided art, or they are able to import a picture of their baby from their computers to create their own customized baby cards! The GoodFather runs on both Windows® and Macintosh® systems and is proving to be the next "must have" gift for the sometimes ignored new dad on the gift list.

Hi I’m KC. I’m an at-home-mom that works PT as a recruiter for several research companies that pays folks like you and me a CASH incentive for providing opinions on various products and services. My company is called LET’S FOCUS. You can reach me at letsfocusnow@optonline.net My job is to find people who will be willing to attend these fun, energetic groups to merely share their opinion for CASH!. Most groups talk about a new product, new concept, new box design, taste tests, test driving new cars, etc….and it only takes 2 hours. It’s fun and it’s sooo easy! Most groups pay about $75 or up to $300 for the 2 hours. It depends on the topic. You, your spouse, family or friends can participate! Extra cash is great for shoes! Lunches out! Pays for kid's activities! How does it work? ===================== I will send out emails about an upcoming groups in your area and let you know most of the info about that group. The date, time, address, topic, how much it pays etc…. It would be… either in NYC, Westchester, NJ, CT or Rockland. If you can make it, then simply email me back with your phone #’s and I will call you up to ask you some qualifying questions and give you all the details. That’s it… you are in after I call you up and register you for the groups. Then you simply show up to the location, mention your name at the desk. You’ll be asked a few questions that I would have already told you about…basically about the topic of the group. And then you sit and relax eating cookies and coffee and reading magazines until they call you in. You’ll be in a group of about 8-10 people. All of you will be talking about the same fun thing. After you give your opinions.. you get paid cash !! easy, fun and great money! WHEN ARE THE GROUPS? ====================== Groups are held all the time, early morning, during the day and at night (after work). I’ll only put you in a group where the time works best for you. You can be in some groups on a monthly basis, or sometimes every 3 months… again it depends on the studies I get. (it's great for you and your spouse, family or friends!) SO WHAT DO YOU DO? ==================== Let me know if you are interested in participating in any studies. And if you know other people who would too. (friends/family of yours) Then, just fill in the profile below age and ethnicity are very important to know as I get certain quotas with that. Then email it back. Then I can get you set up for groups asap! Thanks in advance.
