Feminine High-Jinks from Kotex (Mature content warning - perhaps. Then again, maybe not!) Have you seen the new ads from Kotex? How many women cannot relate to the sarcasm here? What's with all the white lycra in feminine hygiene product ads? For how many decades have personal products marketers tried to put a pleasant spin on old Aunt Flo, a woman's monthly visitor? (Just take a look at these old print advertisements for feminine hygiene products from the past.) Personally, as a marketing and promotional professional, I have to salute the folks at Kotex for sending up themselves and their own history of euphemistic advertising and flowery spin doctoring of Mother Nature's proverbial monthly curse. Simply hilarious. In fact, the first time I saw the new Kotex ads on TV, I laughed so hard I had cramps. . . Related Item: Idioms Unpacked: Under the Weather "Muriel could not come to work. She's under the weather today." We often hear this idiomatic phrasing, which seems to have little to do with meteorological conditions. What does it mean to be under the weather?

I love making this dish and having it ready for the girls after we build a snowman during the long winters here in North Dakota.

I LOVE snowmen!!! I find them very sweet :) Maybe, my interest towards snowy things is increased because I live in Barcelona, where we hardly ever get some snow. I am 31 years old and as far as I r…

Hey Friends! It's Kristen again from Loving Teaching Inspiring and I'm so excited to share this adorable craftivity with all of you! Check them out...aren't they adorable?!?! Is it bothering anyone else that one of them is crooked?? AGHHH! It's killing me! I must admit painting with 5 year olds can be very extremely scary. However, I have learned that as long as you give specific directions and go step by step it turns out just fine. We started this activity by reading the story Sneezy the Snowman. If you don't have this book yet, it is a must! It's all about a snowman who tries different things to get warm. The problem is he just melts. The kids LOVE it!! Next up we brainstormed several things that would melt a snowman and made a class list. From that class list each student got a copy of the sentence stem below and filled in their idea. Grab your copy here Once all the sentences were finished the fun began. Every table was given scraps of paper to cut out their own hat, eyes, buttons, arms and nose. Allowing the students to cut out their own pieces makes each snowman unique! Before the painting can begin you will need to mix shaving cream and glue. You will only need 1 can of shaving cream mixed with about 3 bottles of glue. I gave every table one paper plate full of the mixture and instructed them to make sure they have "globs" of paint. If they smooth it out too much it won't dry puffy. A little trick for this mixture is to teach your kiddos to scoop some onto the paintbrush but then twirl their brush. It can be a little stringy and create quite the mess transferring from the plate to their paper. We learned this the hard way. YIKES! Although the mess was SO worth it... check out these samples! My snowman melted because the volcano exploded. My snowman melted because he sat in the hot tub. The snowman melted because he was by the fire. My snowman melted because the fire sword. Don't forget to grab your copy over at my blog Loving Teaching Inspiring! Happy Painting!!!

I love the fall season for all its colors and shades. I gather sea glass in all sizes, but mostly I feel there is so much beauty in the tiny pieces.

I love making snowflakes just for the joy of doing it. I love folding up some paper, randomly cutting and then opening it up to see my results. I don’t think one is ever too old for it, or …

Frosty the Snowman is handmade by me! He is approximately 10 1/2 inches tall and counting his twig arms approximately 7" wide. He has a mitten hat that I painted with candy canes tied on with linen thread, and his nose is made out of clay. His coal eyes and mouth are painted, and his scarf is black, white, and red. A couple of my antique buttons adorn his front which are sewn on. His body is made out of muslin and weighted on the bottom so that he can stand on his own. His twig arms were found in my yard which is how I measured his width. He is signed and dated by me. This listing is for the finished snowman only. Anything else in photos are props. I absolutely love snowmen and collect them. Designing them is so much fun! I love that you can put them out right after Thanksgiving (at least for me!) and can leave them out long after Christmas! This is one of my own designs made into a pattern, so if you would like to make him yourself, here is the link https://basketcaseneedlework.etsy.com/listing/1352198490 Handmade with love, Nancy ©2023 Basket Case x Needlework Therapy
