Integrating Careers: Armed Forces Day

Armed forces day is celebrated around the world. According to Wikipedia

"The day was created in 1949 to honor Americans serving in the five U.S. military branches – the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard – following the consolidation of the military services in the Department of Defense."

I love ABC books that describe what a persons job is like.



For many families, deployment is a hard topic for children. Here are a few books that help with that.


One of my favorite Christmas books, which helps my writing series, "The night before Christmas."


Thank you men and women for your dedicated service.
We love you.

Integrating Careers: Nurses Day

On May 12th, it is Nurses Day. It is one of the professions where I really am so grateful for their knowledge. They assist doctors in important surgeries and give reassurance to little children who have to give shots. (And moms that have to watch their little babies receive their first shots.)

So in honor of them, why not talk about them at home? Who knows, you might give a child an idea for a new career they never thought about.




An easy activity to follow would be a thank you letter for your personal nurse or someone you know that is a nurse. They would sure appreciate it.
