Earth Hour




Tomorrow, March 28th 2009, you have the opportunity to take part in world wide event designed to show your support for the global conservation. At 8:30 local time "VOTE EARTH" by turning off all your home lights for one hour.

Now to think of a few things to occupy the family while the lights are out! No TV, Video Games (even handhelds!), computers or phones! OK don't panic, take a deep breath and lets think about all the wonderful things you can do.
  • Play a card or board game, come on you gotta have a couple lying around. Last year we played UNO, this year we have graduated to Apples to Apples.
  • Make some S'mores! My friend Eileen suggested this and I plan on stocking up on all the ingredients and making sure we have a Sterno cup around!
  • Play hide and go seek! Try flashlight tag in the house, try not to get hurt.
  • My number one and favorite is READ! Grab a couple of candles, settle in and read aloud or alone, enjoy a really good book, an old favorite or something brand new. Ahhh I can feel the happy already!
Now for some book recommendations! Earth hour really gives me a start time for Earth Day activities. I'm getting ready for a couple of festivals and parties to celebrate the Earth and try to make a difference. Barefoot Books has a couple of beautiful books to help set the mood!

Earth Tales: BRAND NEW! I love the multicultural stories in this book coupled with fun earth friendly activities to do as a family or a class.


Whole World: A super favorite among the Pre-School set! I have customers coming back over and over to give it to every little person in their lives! Sing along and take the "Whole World in our hands!" while enjoying the amazing bright and bold illustrations. So inviting that Oprah put it on the "O" list!

There are more...and more good news! This weekend only, you get free shipping on EVERY order! So before you turn off those lights, skip over to Barefoot Books and pick up some super Eco-Education books for the whole family!
