A vintage “tart card” that you would find inside a London telephone box. During the mid-80s and 90s in London after the privatization of British Telecom, the telephone box was used by prostitutes to advertise their services. The boxes would be plastered with “tart cards” which were affixed to the box by professional “carders” who would routinely update the booths with replacement cards. “Carders” were also known for removing cards of competing prostitutes. This form of flesh advertising would remain in place until 2001 when the UK made the act of posting tart cards inside telephone boxes punishable by either six months in the clink or a £5000 pound fine. The cards from the 80s and 90s included in this post were much like something you’d seen in a homemade fanzine—naughty illustrations along with some tongue-in-cheek catchy phrase (“Your pain is my pleasure” is a favorite) that were printed on brightly colored cards. Another interesting aspect of the old-school tart cards is that they were often devoid of full-on nudity, and preferred instead to imply certain services, such as an illustration of a female dominatrix holding a whip, stepping on a man with her stiletto boot heel along...

It is best not to have a full stomach when practicing the postures. 2. Pick a quiet place to do yoga with your child. Preferably practice on a yoga mat or soft carpet. Using a yoga mat helps ground kids and gives them a personal space to do the postures. 3. Do the poses with your child. 4. Enjoy being with your child, and try to be in the moment rather than letting your mind wander to things you need to get done. 5. Start in the Candle pose by kneeling on the floor with your hands in prayer position in front of your heart. Take several breaths in and out through your nose before advancing to other poses. 6. Remember to always breathe in and out of your nose when practicing yoga postures. 7. Keep the tone light and fun, and never push your child to do more than they are capable of. 8. Give your child positive reinforcement to help him or her learn and improve. 9. Your final posture should be the Do Nothing Pose, where you and your child lie on your backs with your arms alongside your body and your palms facing towards the ceiling. If you have an eye pillow or small towel to cover your eyes, it helps to keep the light out. 10. Play a soothing children’s lullaby when doing the Do Nothing Pose. One of my favorite songs is “House at Pooh Corner” by Kenny Loggins. See if you and your child can lie still for the duration of the song. See how relaxed and rejuvenated you both are when you are done! Yoga Precautions for Children Children tend to have looser joints and great enthusiasm. As a result, they may be unaware when they are stretching beyond what is safe. Parents without yoga backgrounds who are interested in incorporating yoga should seek proper guidance and instruction. Parents practicing independently with their children should be aware that upside-down poses (such as headstands) pose great risk to children who have limited body awareness. According to yoga instructor Baron Baptiste, only children over 8 should try upside-down poses and only with adult supervision. Read more here or click here for more safety tips.

For the past year, our kids have used (and loved) their Yoto audiobook players. If you're unfamiliar with Yoto, I've written a post with all the information you need and a list of our favorite audiobook cards: All About the Yoto Audiobook Player Making your own Yoto cards One of my favorite features of the Yoto is the ability to record or download your own audiobooks onto Make Your Own Yoto cards. Here's more information on how to do that: First, you must own the audio files in order to make your own Yoto cards. Unfortunately, this means that audiobooks from Libby or Scribd or Hoopla won't work for this. In addition, if you have audiobooks from Audible, you can only listen to them within the app (but they aren't a downloadable mp3). There's a way to jailbreak them and download as mp3s, but because that violates Audible's terms of service, I wouldn't advise it. To make your own Yoto card, you'll first need to purchase a Make Your Own card from the Yoto website. Then follow these instructions to upload an mp3 or your own recorded audio file and link it to a card. One of my favorite things about the Make Your Own cards is that you can re-record them as many times as you'd like. So if you're finished listening to one audiobook and ready for a new one, you can use the same card! Where do you find mp3s to download? My current favorite source for purchasing and downloading mp3 audiobooks is Libro.fm. Purchases from Libro.fm benefit a local bookstore of your choice, so I've chosen to support A House With Books in Keller, Texas, which is a lovely new bookstore in my area. Libro.fm frequently has great sales on audiobooks, and you can purchase credits, which often makes more financial sense. For example, you could purchase The Chronicles of Narnia audiobook collection (all 33 hours!) for $41.85 or use 1 credit (which costs $14.99) to purchase the entire thing. A monthly membership costs $14.99/month. How do you make Yoto card stickers? Once you've made your own Yoto card, you can use Canva.com to upload a picture of the book's cover and print it onto a sticker. I've made a Yoto card template you can access here. Just drag your own photos into the picture frames in the template, click
