 Products We Like! Save the Children Collection
The new trend is for children to contribute to charitable causes – for example, $1 of every $10 raised in response to the tsunami disaster came from youth fundraising initiatives. Kids contribute not just by donating money, but by offering their creativity. The Save the Children collection is directly inspired by the designs of youngsters who won the Save the Children Art Contest. (www.savethechildren.org).
The Save the Children collection ranges from bedding to throw rugs, curtains, occasional furniture, wall borders—and more. A perfect choice for a one-piece accent or to theme an entire room.
Major retailers have joined in the program, including J.C. Penney, which will carry Emergency, Flower Garden Dream, Lady Bug Picnic and Play Ball patterns nationwide in all channels, exclusively. Other retailers selling the collection include target.com and amazon.com, where Car Crazy, Castle, Down on Papa's Farm, My Favorite Things and Stay on Track may be featured. J.C. Penney also carries some of these patterns.

Spintastik was created by Jennifer Nolan in 2002, after she suffered a temporary back injury that made it essential that her four sons be more helpful around the home. She designed a tool that proved to be a fun and fair way to delegate chores and motivate her children. Jennifer joined with longtime friend Tory Dietel Hopps, mother of two, to research, design, and test the idea. They discovered that spinning for a variety of responsibilities and recognizing a job well done was both highly effective and appealing to their children.

The happy times, the sad times, and, of course, the frustrating times are all here. With the honesty that only children have, Jace takes you through both the good (Justin saying “I Love You” for the first time) and the bad (the day Justin had to be allergy tested with 100 needles). Although autism can be a daily rollercoaster for the whole family, these two children make the best of their situation.

Mahoney uses her wit to not only poke fun at herself, but to also
encourage the reader to look at their own lives and find the humor
about the situations that might ordinarily drive them crazy.
"Sometimes I think we all tend to take life a little too
seriously," Mahoney explains. "My goal of the book was to allow
the reader to just sit back, put their feet up, and take some time
out to just laugh."
