3500 years of Cappadocian cave homes: These unique underground havens once were used by early Christians to hide from Roman armies, yet they remain occupied to this day - 100 square miles with 200+ underground villages and tunnel towns complete with hidden passages, secret rooms and ancient temples, with each new civilization building on the work of the last.

Prince William and Kate Middleton met in 2001 at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, where they were both undergraduates. Rumours of a relationship between the pair circulated for a few years until they were spotted together on a skiing holiday in Klosters, Switzerland, in 2004. Rumour has it this was the first time Kate met William's dad, Prince Charles.

letter hide and seek.. I hid large letters around the room. I then placed the small letter squares that matched the letters that were hidden into a paper bag. I had each child pick a letter out of the bag and they had to find the letter that was on the small letter square.. After we found all of the large letters we placed them in alphabetical order on the floor.

Homemade Peppermint Foot Cream I originally found this recipe at Frugally Sustainable and I fell in love with it the first time I used it. It wasn't just the great peppermint smell, but it was what it did to my feet. For the last several years my feet have taken quite a beating. They were rough, dry, cracking, and had some kind of fungus that would not go away no matter what I put on them! This cream is AmAzInG!! I now have my soft, non fungus feet back! Don't worry, I won't

Colorado: Hot Sulphur Springs. These baths were originally discoverd by the Ute Indians who believed that they held natural healing powers. Then they were acquired by William Byers, of Byers Peak fame, and the pools were turned into a resort that has been operating for the last 140 years. There are 22 pools varying in temperature from 95F to 112F.

"I saw this man on the Metro this past Monday, and asked him who the flowers were for. They were for his wife. They’ve been married for 47 years. Every Monday, he brings her home flowers after work."

Did protecting my kids’ innocence work? No and yes. In their growing-up years they still watched things they shouldn’t (when I didn’t know) and one of my children as a teen found a way to get around some of the safety protections we set up on the Internet and was drawn into places this teen should never have been. So I wasn’t able to protect my kids completely. But in many ways they were allowed to stay kids longer.

Just made these amazing cookies last night. Full of great lemony flavor. Took them to work where they were a hit...but I admit; I ate most of them! Mimi

Every year the Marauders probably sat in the same spot on the Hogwarts Express, from when they were little bitty eleven-year-olds to the last time they rode away from the place where they found home and family, practicing silly spells and trading chocolate frog cards and planning the year’s pranks or the summer’s gatherings and when Remus rode to Hogwarts to teach, he probably sat in that same spot and thought that the silence was louder than four teenage boys ever were. art by batcii

This file has a page for each letter of the alphabet. Students color the letter, read a sentence about the letter and sound, find the focus letter, and practice writing the letter. These practice pages would be great as morning work, homework, literacy center, or during word work. These can be used as regular worksheets; they can also be printed and placed in sheet protectors to use in a center. Students love doing these papers over and over with dry erase markers as a literacy center. $

I did this version of wall art. It cost me less than $20. I found frames that were $1 each and got 9. And spent $10 on a big pack of paper and only used a fraction.

Wooden reindeer. Steve made two for our lawn last Christmas...a buck and a doe. He used marbles for their eyes. He put blue lights on them, so at night, they were still awesome. LWB

A fun sisterhood event. Bought the first letter of each girls name at Michaels along with different colored paint pens. The girls passed their letter to each other and they wrote something about their friend on their letter that described them. When they got their own letter back it made them talk and laugh and feel special. They even decided to write on the other side too. Then they each took their letter home as a party favor. They loved it!

This woman has a journal for each of her children, filled with letters to the child and thoughts about them. She started each one the day they found out they were having the child. What a neat idea! This could be a great college graduation gift to the child!

The last known image of 6 year old Madyson Jamison taken on the day she disappeared along with her mother and father. They were last seen in Red Oak, Oklahoma on October 8, 2009. On October 17, hunters found the family’s four-door pickup truck locked and abandoned on a dirt road in a rural area of Latimer County. The family’s dog, Maizy, was inside the truck, nearly dead from starvation. Coats, shoes, wallets, cell phones were found in the

Small pox vaccination scar...I just found this note online:...."All my friends, family and work collegues have three small scars on one of their arms where they got their vaccines when they were young. I thought I got my vaccines too but I don't have any scars at all. Is that right? Does this mean the vaccines didn't work?"...LOL! We're old!

I searched and searched for these on Pinterest. We did these last summer with my then 5 year old. They were perfect for teaching him sight words. There is a progressive plan for each lesson. LOVE IT!

This woman has a journal for each of her children, filled with letters to the child and thoughts about them. She started each one the day they found out they were having the child. Gave them when the kids moved out. So sweet and sentimental. Cuuuute. :)

there used to be a place near my home where someone made huge paper mache masks like these that fit over your entire head - they were spectacular and we should have preserved them

Math Spoons - Teams of 3 or 4. Each S has a worksheet. Each team member has a letter. On a table in the front of the room are cards w/ answers to the worksheet's problems. There is one less answer card per problem than the # of teams playing. Teacher calls out a worksheet problem #. Ss have 2 mins to work individually then can talk to their groups. T calls out a player letter and that person goes to search for the correct answer card. They keep the card. Count the cards at the end for the score.
