Selecting a good cake for birthday party
Selecting a good cake for birthday partyAuthor: Madhavi PororiWith kids, it may be some popular character or some person they admire, or a favorite animal, pet or toy. Sometimes you can poke a little fun at the birthday person with a cake. Picking a smart birthday cake theme really means knowing something special about the person having the birthday. When you know something about their likes & dislikes, favorite sports or leisure activities or even some quirk they have, it can be worked in to a cake theme. For example, anybody I know has a brother who has a mild case of arachnophobia, ever since finding a huge spider in her shoe as a schoolgirl. They screamed so loud the relatives dog ran away, & the whole relatives has teased her with spiders ever since then. For her 40th birthday, they couldn’t resist, & they made her brother a cake covered in icing spider webs & some from spun sugar, & every gummy spider & rubber spider they could find.
(There was even four hidden inside the piece the brother got). This would be awful for anybody who really gets upset by spiders, but they doesn’t like them & is used to her family’s antics. My own brother for some reason really didn’t like yellow roses, maybe because she’d lived in New york & heard that song many times. to irk her, four year Mom’s best friend made a huge & delicious cake & covered it in yellow roses, crammed as close as possible.

Write Effective Fundraising Letters By Being Conversational (Includes Examples & SamplesWrite Effective Fundraising Letters By Being Conversational (Includes Examples & SamplesAuthor: Alan SharpeI am doing what you do, sitting at my computer, trying to get my thoughts out of my head and into a written form that will help you make a decision. In this particular case, I am trying to write a few intelligent remarks about sounding conversational on paper. You know, how to write a fundraising letter that sounds like it came from the mind of a person and not an institution. I suppose the first thing I can tell you is that you should write the way you talk, unless, of course, you talk in halting sentences punctuated with "ya knows" and "like, you know what I mean?" And if you usually write fundraising letters that are signed by someone else, your executive director, for example, then you need to write the way that person speaks. |
Pros and Cons of Child Life InsurancePros and Cons of Child Life InsuranceAuthor: DeniseThe death of a child is a subject few people want to think or even talk about. It is always thought of as something that happens ‘to others,’ but the truth of the matter is that this is not so. Deaths do happen and children do die and its up to the parents to sit themselves down and talk about how they will handle this situation and what measures are being taken to ease the process. This could include reserving a family plot for burial or planning on how to pay for a funeral. An unpleasant task but, one which every parent should force himself or herself to deal with. One way of dealing with burial costs and funeral expenses is to take out a life insurance policy for your child. |
