Trends in eyebrow shapes come and go with the seasons. One thing to remember, however, as you peruse all the latest fashion mags in search of the latest look, is to forget about eyebrow trends and go with what works for you.

An Organizer’s Guide to Book Awards
Once upon a time, when my two sons were in preschool, we three played a game while driving around doing errands. I would name a category and they would have to figure out things that fell into that category. We would do a ‘round robin’, taking turns, calling specific, category appropriate, items out loud. For example, if I said, “Food” they would name food items. Things like: fish sticks, Cheerios, French toast, spaghetti, and so on. As the boys grew older, I’d make the categories more specific like, “Vegetables.” Again, they would take turn naming all the veggies they could. Then, I would ask them to take turns but name the veggies in alphabetical order so they would start with, “A” (asparagus or avocados) and move onto “B”, (beans, broccoli, beets)“C” (cabbage, celery, carrots) etc. As a mom I was engaging them in conversation, teaching them to categorize things, practicing the alphabet, and last but not least, introducing them to new veggies (we don’t buy rutabaga or radishes but those veggies are helpful when trying to think of an “R” veggie).
