#InYourPalm

Did you know you that Palm oil is found in over 50% of processed foods (candles and grooming products as well) and  this is destroying the rainforest where many animals live and affecting the local people that live there as well?

Here is great information about palm oil and what you could do to stop this at rainforest rescue 

Remember “Every dollar you spend … or don’t spend… is a vote you cast for the world you want.” so let’s send a strong message!

The power is In Your Palm!

homeschool weekly photo challenge ~ fav book

Favourite books… well that is a hard one as it depends on my mood and the kids as well… but here is a small sample 🙂

These books are great for teaching kids ethics and environment  and my kids love them, the author uses short stories  🙂

These ones are great as well for kids

This is one of my favourite just for fun authors, although oddly enough I am not so crazy about her famous shopping series of books

and an old one that I have had for years

The Canadian Homeschooler is doing a weekly photo challenge  … the theme this week is ‘ Our favourite book ‘

have a great weekend

Their mission ( according to their site ) ;
