Go on- read to me!

My favourite children's author EVER, Mr. Robert Munsch (who yes, happens to be Canadian) will let you listen to him read his own stories FOR FREE on his website! How cool is that?! Click on the following words for the link to the page on his official website:

Robert Munsch rocks!

My favourites were always MORTIMER and JONATHAN CLEANED UP AND THEN HE HEARD A SOUND and the wonderful THE PAPERBAG PRINCESS has a soft spot in my heart as the first book of his I read. But the highlight of his entire collection for me is LOVE YOU FOREVER- and I defy you to listen to/read LOVE YOU FOREVER without getting a little choked up!

I still get teary eyed!

This is a website started by two women with a vision who hired a bunch of scientists. They've developed what TIME magazine hailed as the Idea of the Year in 2008.

You buy a kit from them, which they send to you, and then you spit in the tube they supply and return it to them. 6-8 weeks later you log in to their website and they have a complete gene analysis ready for you. This is what the kit looks like- nothing to be scared of!

This analysis can highlight medical conditions you may be a carrier for, diseases you may be prone to falling victim to, indicate what conditions your future children may be susceptible to, analyse your ancestry- all sorts of cool and interesting things.
