Knit Apple Jacket
Imagine this.. it’s snack time and you and your best friend pull your apples out of your handbag at the same time. Your friends apple is plane jane green and is sporting about a half inch bruise, but your apple is bruise free, and is wearing a colorful designer jacket from Jacqueline. How great would that be?
Knitting is not an easy craft and I believe that Jacqueline has a lot of skill and patience to create the beautiful designs that she does. Jacqueline’s pieces are hand-made originals and she has a great eye for color which make her pieces truly amazing.
The apple jacket is a wonderful item that keeps your apples from getting bruised while in your handbag or diaper bag. It also makes your apple look very pretty and is sure to be a conversation starter.
Apple jackets are a great gift especially for teachers. They are machine washable and dryer safe and available in several colors.
Click on over to Jacquelin’s Etsy shop and take a look at all of the colors available.
ESRB – video game parental control
Whether I like it or not, Sebastian (8 years old) and my husband Tim play video games. I was naive to think that Sebastian would want to play ‘kiddie games’ until he is 13.
I may be naive but thanks to the ESRB (Entertainment Software Ratings Board), I AM NOT ignorant! The ESRB enables parents to choose video games appropriate for their children. If a video game is rated E10+, Sebastian can’t play it. Sebastian can’t argue the ‘on the box’ ratings. If the ESRB states that the video game is not appropriate for 8 year olds, he can’t play it. Period. For those parents who aren’t sure what a rating symbol means, simply look at the description on the back of the video game box.
The new generation of game consoles makes it easy for parents to set parental control features, to ensure a fun, secure, and age-appropriate gaming experience for our children.
KEY FACTS:
- Easy to locate ratings are displayed on the video game box
- Ratings are easy to understand, even for 8 year olds!
- Rated by adults, most have experience with children
- Search for video games by rating on ESRB’s website
- Parents can search video games by content (nudity, language, violence, etc) on ESRB’s website
