| Travel Girl: Comfy shoes a foot feat - CharlotteObserver.com Posted: 28 Aug 2010 11:15 AM PDT Posted: Saturday, Aug. 28, 2010 I'm all about technology, especially when it comes to making my life easier or more comfortable. (Thank you Mr. Headphone Inventor, for allowing my son to listen to his heavy metal music and for me not to.) And when you travel as much as we do, it's often about the feet, the parts of our bodies most abused by long days of travel, shopping and sightseeing. So, we're big fans of Geox shoes because they are made with awesome "shoe breathing technology." What that means is they have a waterproof membrane with a perforated rubber sole, so perspiration passes right on through. No worries about slipping around in sweaty shoes, no matter how fast you've run for the train in 90-degree weather. I took two pairs of these beauties on my last trip, and not only are they comfortable but they are also stylish and lightweight - great for staying within those weight limits if you're flying. Moms like me who are all-too-familiar with stinky little shoes will want to check out the kids' line that includes sandals, sneakers and slip-ons. Shoes on sale start at $77 and regularly priced go to $175. Details: www.shopgeox .com.

| Kids' Krafts: Create a locket for lunch money - Deseret News Posted: 28 Aug 2010 09:42 AM PDT Published: Saturday, Aug. 28, 2010 10:43 a.m. MDT Remember how excited you were in June with the prospect of the long, summer vacation stretching out ahead of you? Maybe you couldn't wait to make plans to go swimming with your friends, on a vacation near the ocean with your family, camping and hiking to remote regions, or just chilling and relaxing for a few days with absolutely nothing important to do. It probably seems like yesterday, but a quick check of the calendar will show you that a new school year is right around the corner. If you are fortunate, there are new school clothes and shoes to buy. Then, there is the annual trip to the store to purchase the necessary school supplies you'll need in the near future. Even if you aren't willing to trade in your carefree summer vacation just yet, the reality is, you will soon need to get ready for school. Rather than dreading the start of the school year and loss of your freedom, get excited about the opportunities the school year will bring. Think of your classes as new challenges. When you conquer new skills, it gives you new confidence that will help make you shine. Story continues below One of the best ways to get prepared is to make a list of things you need to accomplish before the first day of school. Get organized by compiling a list of the items you need for classes and check them off as you pack them away into organizers, book bags and backpacks. With all the dozens of things you have to remember each day, forgetting your lunch money would be one of the worst. Going hungry may seriously hinder your ability to learn. In just a few minutes, you can turn a metal mint container into a lunch money locket so you can keep your cash close while looking pretty cool at the same time. I made these lunch lockets with instructions I found at familyfun.go.com/crafts/lunch-money-locket-667122/ online. Supplies you will need: —Small metal mint container with a hinged lid. —Acrylic paint. —Paintbrush. —3-foot long piece of string or metallic craft cord. Be sure it's thin enough to fit around or through the tin's hinge so the lid can still close. —White craft glue. —Small plastic animals or fake jewels, stickers, etc. Clean the inside of the tin. Paint the top and let it dry. Thread the string or metallic cord around or through (depending on the type of tin) the tin's hinges. Pull both ends of the string tight, so that they fit snugly around the hinge, and then knot the strings together near the ends to form a loop. Glue plastic animals and/or jewels or place stickers on the top of the tin. If you used glue, allow time for it to dry before you fill it with coins.
