One out of four school children in the U.S. has vision problems, and 86% do not get their vision checked before age 12.
Many Fresh Air children do not have access to affordable vision care. Glasses break, are too expensive to replace, or are never prescribed in the first place. And often as a result, children's performance in academics, sports and activities suffers.
For the fifth summer in a row, OneSight offered to bring their traveling optical clinic to all five Fresh Air Fund camp.
Together with OneSight's Vision Vans – and a team of local doctors and volunteers, OneSight provides free eye exams and eyewear to thousands of children in need each year.

95% will forever remember the trauma of getting lost
The goal of Safety Tats is to significantly reduce those numbers!
SafetyTat specializes in temporary tattoos which display a parent/caregiver's mobile phone number, helping the parent and child to quickly be reunited if separated. Founder Michele Welsh, Mom of three (twins + plus one) is proud to be called a "Mompreneur" and has personally designed, patented and marketed this line of super convenient child safety products. Michele created these products to make her life measurably less stressful, and coincidentally discovered a much needed new market segment.
Safety Tat has tats for all occasions! Check them out and keep your little loves safe!
These tats requires absolutely NO WATER to apply. Simply peel and stick -- "Quick Stick!" Made with proprietary Tateck® tattoo material, it is an ultra-durable, medical-grade, skin applique "tattoo" with vibrant colors perfect for any skin tone. The Quick Stick Write-On! Is packaged blank, so you can fill in your information with the provided SafetyTat pen. Quick Stick Write-Ons will last an extra long time — up to two weeks!
Seasonal Tats
Most of us have been at a Halloween function, right? Seven Power Rangers, Three Darth Vaders, Two Thomas the Trains and no fewer than Twenty WITCHES! With costumes on, it's easy to lose track of your child. They all look the same! Their excitement bubbles over and they are having so much FUN, they forget to stay near Mommy and Daddy (or Grandma or Teacher, etc.).
The Original SafetyTat temporary safety ID tattoo with one line of customization. Choose your design, select a quantity, and add your phone number. When applied to skin, Original SafetyTat's hue will vary with skin tone.
SafetyTat temporary tattoos for kids allergy alerts, customized with one line or two lines of information, as noted in each product description. If your child has a food allergy or is allergic to bee stings, certain medications, or exposure to anything of concern, simply list them on the temporary tattoo.
Has your child outgrown the younger child designs? Not quite ready to give your child his or her own mobile phone? Tween Tats are for kids who want a fun, great looking, more mature Tat design. Your child may already know your mobile phone number, but what about when he or she travels with friends? Or sports? Or Scouts? He probably does not know the adult-in-charge's mobile phone number. I.C.E. In case of emergency, offers a quick contact for your child when away from home, and is super cool to wear. Great for school field trips or traveling in large groups.
SafetyTats for special needs, including Autism and non-verbal designs. These temporary tattoos are customized with one line of information. Please also see the 2 Line SafetyTats for even more customization options.
The options are endless! Safety Tat offers safety solutions for every situation your child may face! We received a package of the Quick Stick Write On Tats. The package comes with everything you need; the tats, pen, and wipes are all included! I appreciate the clear and easy to follow directions for applying the tats that were included in the package! They are super simple to apply, last up to two weeks, and are easy to remove! They are even waterproof so these would be great for a crowded water park! We highly recommend that you give Safety Tats a try! Use the code BecauseTwoPeopleFellinLove to receive 10% off your order of 15 or more tats!

Close Encounters of the Third-Grade Kind: Thoughts on Teacherhood BY: Phillip Done
A twenty-year veteran of the classroom, elementary school teacher Phillip Done takes readers through a lively and hilarious year in the classroom. Starting with the relative calm before the storm of buying school supplies and posting class lists, he shares the distinct personalities of grades K-4, what he learned from two professional trick or treating 8-year-old boys, the art of learning cursive and letter-writing, how kindergartners try to trap leprechauns, and what every child should experience before he or she grows up.
The funny tales of Mr. Done's trials and triumphs reminds readers of the true joys of childhood. We all have that one special, favorite grade school teacher whom we fondly remember throughout our adult lives, and every teacher also has students whom they will never forget. As a teacher myself, throughout this book I laughed, smiled, and thought to myself, "That is so true!" Done has a magical gift of turning daily events into teachable moments that students will never forget! This is the perfect book for teachers, parents, and anyone else who is looking for a great read.

Is Going Gluten Free Right for You? Advice from a Holistic Doctor Eydi Bauer suffered from undiagnosed chronic health problems for over 20 years. She experienced joint pain, fatigue, bloating and intestinal problems, menstrual irregularities, depression and anxiety. It took a serious health crisis before she got to the cause of her problems. At the age of 34, after years of working with all types of doctors with no success, she was finally diagnosed correctly with celiac disease.
As soon as she went gluten free, her health was restored.
Gluten is the protein commonly found in wheat flour and it's in most popular foods in the all American diet. One person in every hundred has celiac disease.
But is it the right thing for you to do?
If you do have celiac disease, then going gluten free is now easier than it has ever been before. Over 1,300 gluten free products are now available on supermarket shelves in the United States. There are alternatives to most common favorite foods including breads, bagels, beer, pasta, cereals, and even cakes, and other mainstay foods you are accustomed to.
You do need to make sure that you maintain proper nutrition but you will quickly find that becoming gluten free may give you relief from pain and discomfort, increase your strength and restore your vitality.
Most of us want to do the right thing for the environment, but making the commitment to change our fast-paced, convenience-oriented lifestyles can be more than a little daunting. What’s the answer? Take that giant commitment and cut it up into 365 little commitments that get met one day at a time. The Green Year does just that. More than a calendar, it offers simple, practical, affordable, and engaging activities that make going green a blessing rather than a burden.
I love how this book even includes the reasoning behind each little activity. The book also offers helpful illustrations to help you complete each little commitment! It’s filled with simple, practical suggestions for going green with no major time commitments or expensive equipment required. All you need to get started is an interest in green living.

Personalized Gifts Of course, the elves know first-hand that the best part about Build-A-Bear Workshop is the opportunity to make a unique gift yoursELF and give it to that special someone:
For sports fans:
Dress a furry friend in the uniform of a favorite sports team (like Champ Bear in Ohio State University Gear). Official licensed sports gear like football uniforms, tees, college caps and bandanas from universities around the nation is available. Ohio State enthusiasts can add the university fight song to any OSU attired animal. For foodies:
Chef Curly Teddy will make the pawfect gift for your favorite cook, bedecked as he is in a bright white chef’s hat and jacket with checked pants and dressy tie loafers. Chef le Bear outfits are sold separately for other furry friends as well.
For boys:
“Must-haves” for Star Wars fans and collectors are the great new character outfits designed to turn any stuffed animal into one of the coolest heroes or villains to ever hit the galaxy. Give a Darth Vader or a Clone Trooper, or ensure that the Force is with you, and give a Jedi Knight or Anakin Skywalker (available at select stores and online). Snow boarders can hit the slopes with Cuddly Hugs Blue Teddy decked in a Snow Patrol Outfit complete with a Swirl Snowboard and Silver Sport Sunglasses.
For girls:
Little princesses will be enchanted with the line of apparel inspired by the upcoming Walt Disney Pictures animated theatrical release, “The Princess And The Frog.” Dazzle her with a Princess Tiana outfit and the Frog Prince (Tiana costumes available beginning Nov. 1; Frog in prince costume available in December.) For beary stylish girls, select from the following favorites: Read Teddy with Blue Lace Bow Dress, Cool Kitty with Pink Fairisle Sweater and Endless Hugs Teddy in a Fuchsia Ruffle Vest and iPod For music fans:
Fans of the Jonas Brothers will enjoy the soft, cuddly JONAS Dog, adorned with the JONAS print design, and including a JONAS dog tag necklace. Accessorize the rock star pooch with a guitar that plays songs from the JONAS TV show; and an officially licensed JONAS outfit. For boys who like to rock out, there’s the Scruffy Puppy in a Cool Vest and Guitar.
For babies:
Velvet Teddy is a sweet gift for the newest arrival and is asthma friendly. Add an embroidered “Baby’s First Christmas” Bib and Diaper Set or a special Build-A-Sound® personal message to complete this little bundle of joy.
For soldiers:
Honor their service by shipping a furry friend to the front lines. Nearly all Build-A-Bear Workshop plush animals can be outfitted in camouflage (four piece camo outfit, camo tent, camo hat, camoBEAR boxers) or in the uniform of any service branch. Or choose Camo Bear with camouflage fur and complete the look with green camouflage jacket, matching pants, black hat, black boots, dog tags and an American flag. Add sound to personalize for your special hero. In addition, Peace & Hugs Bear comes with an array of stylish tie-dyed and denim outfits and a peace t-shirt with a dove.
Say It With Sound® Build-A-Bear Workshop Guests can add a personalized message in their own voice to any furry friend. Gift givers ordering online can call a special toll-free number to record their own personalized Build-A-Sound ten second message. The recipient hears the message with the press of a paw. Pre-recorded sounds also are available including: Jonas Brothers' songs, heartbeat effect, lullaby, animal sounds: dog, frog, pony, owl, monkey and elephant, take me out to the ballgame, Hannah Montana and more.
Make it a Two-fer with “Gifts that Give Twice” Purchase paws and benefit a cause with gifts that give twice. When Guests make certain furry friends, a portion of the proceeds ($1) benefits charitable organizations that support children’s health and wellness, literacy, domestic pet programs and endangered animals and their habitats. The two newest friends that give back are the Portuguese Water Dog, just like the popular Presidential pooch, and the World Wildlife Fund Gray Wolf. Champ – A Champion Fur Kids benefits causes that support children’s health such as juvenile diabetes, autism, children’s cancer research or other important wellness causes for children. Read Teddy® supports literacy and education programs for children and makes a great gift for teachers.
Give the Experience Give friends and loved ones the Build-A-Bear Workshop experience with Bear Buck$® gift cards. If purchased online, Guests can customize an e-gift card with a message, character and special background. This holiday season, Guests who visit a Build-A-Bear Workshop store will receive a free Elf Access Card Kit that provides access to special elf fun including listening to the new interactive store elves, becoming an honorary elf, finding out your secret elf name and earning elf ears. Use the code on the back to get an elf outfit in Build-A-Bearville.
Virtual Giving Anyone who buys a furry friend from Build-A-Bear Workshop is eligible to register that friend free at www.buildabearville.com®, a virtual world where friends can hang out, play games and shop for cool virtual stuff. Years ago, when the elves first started working for Santa, they never thought kids would ask for virtual gifts! Now they’ve learned a lot about computers and recommend Build-A-Bear Workshop for the best line of virtual gifts they’ve ever seen. This year everyone wants credits to shop for virtual rides, clothes for furry friends, the new Ski Lodge Home Away From Home (available Nov. 30) and interactive furniture -- at the Build-A-Bearville® Bearville Outfitters™ store. So, load up on three-month, six-month and one year “V.I.B.” Subscription Cards with monthly credits and bonus Bear Bills® (valued at $15; $25; $40, but discounted to $10; $15; $25 from Nov. 1 through Jan. 3) and plenty of Bearville Outfitters Virtual Stuff Game Cards with credits (priced at $1, $5, $10, $15). Then stuff them in the stockings and be the coolest gift giver ever. Better yet, five percent of the purchase price from either card will be donated by Build-A-Bear Workshop to the charity of the donor’s choice at buildabearville.com. Build-A-Bear Workshop works with several charitable partners to provide options on where donations are directed. This holiday season U.S. visitors can donate to Toys for Tots, DonorsChoose.org, Save the Children and Junior Achievement.

Wondering why Softsoap® developed its new Softsoap®BRAND Nutri Serums with nutrient-rich serums? Well, try it for yourself and we think you’ll see; but if you’re looking for the science behind the serums, here you go:
• Serums are known for powerful skin nutrients and beauty boosting effects • Serums pearls contain an essential nutrient for soft and healthy-looking skin • As you age, Vitamin E production slows, leading to the breakdown of collagen and elastin, which help keep your skin tight; Vitamin E in serums can help restore and protect against contaminants that can cause damage • Contain Omegas 3 & 6, which are essential fatty acids that are known to help preserve skin’s protective layer and maintain moisture for a youthful, hydrated glow
Thanks to BzzAgent we were sent samples of this body wash!
We highly suggest that you give this great new body wash a try!
