Jami Lee Mumford is the author of Beyond the Veil. Her books are available on Amazon.

"Beyond the veil, spirit speaks while we sleep, is a collection of encouraging visitation dreams from people of all walks of life. Everyone has lost someone that they love and you all long to see them again. In this book you will see that spirit is eager to communicate with you, often times giving words of encouragement, hope and unconditional love. Our loved ones are always with us, they are only beyond the veil."

Here is another great book by the author Jami Lee Mumford:

This book is a MUST read!! It will keep you hooked from beginning to end! It is a story of connecting to the other side, love, sadness, and everything in between!

Facts about Elephants

Elephant Facts 

We are on letter Ee of the Gratitude Alphabet! E is for Elephant! What are you thankful for that begins with the letter Ee?

Joey and his little sister Jinger are fascinated by elephants! The elephants are the first creatures they rush to see when they visit the zoo. Did you know an elephant's trunk can weigh up to 400 pounds? It's a remarkable tool they can use to pick up things as tiny as a grain of rice! Isn't that fascinating?

Here is a list of facts about Elephants:

1. Elephants can't jump.

2. Elephants travel in herds.

3. Elephants are the largest land animals.

4. An elephant's baby is called a calf.

5. Elephants have the largest brains of all land mammals.

Facts about Dandelions

Dandelion Facts 

If you had one wish, what would you wish for?

A wish is a desire for something that may or may not come true, but we can wish for it anyway!! Who knows, it might be your wish that makes it come true!! So keep making those wishes! Wish upon a star!! Wish upon a dandelion!! Wish upon a birthday candle. Always have a wishful heart!! 

I remember when I was a child, I made wishes on dandelions. Have you ever done that? I used to think the more significant the dandelion was, the faster the wish would come true. 

I would like to share some facts about dandelions with you.

Facts about Dandelions:

1. Dandelions are considered an ornamental weed. Their golden yellow blooms quickly become fluffy seedheads that disperse in the wind.

2. Pharmacists in 19th-century England made tea from roasted dandelion roots, which is still trendy today due to its coffee-like taste and color without caffeine.

3. A cup of chopped raw dandelion greens provides 112% of the daily requirement for vitamin A. From blossom to root, 100% of this weed (also an herb) is edible for most people.

4. Dandelions are part of the daisy family.

5. Dandelions represent three different celestial bodies at three distinct phases of their life:

The yellow flower represents the sun.

The dispersed seeds look like the stars.

The puffy dandelion ball has a similar appearance to the moon.

6. The seeds (the parts of the plant that fly away) can travel for up to 5 miles after being dispersed in the wind!

7. Not all people think dandelions are a weed.

Now that you’re equipped with fascinating dandelion facts, go share the knowledge with your family and friends!

Facts about Dinosaurs

Dinosaur Facts 

I would Like to share some facts about dinosaurs with you.

Facts about Dinosaurs:

1. Dinosaurs, the magnificent creatures of the past, were a diverse group of reptiles that roamed the Earth millions of years ago.

2. The term "dinosaur" was coined by English naturalist Sir Richard Owen in 1842. It is derived from the Greek words "deinos," which means fearfully great, and "sauros," which means lizard.

3. Dinosaur fossils, evidence of the ancient and colossal creatures that once roamed the Earth, have been unearthed on every continent. There are seven continents.

4. Approximately 66 million years ago, all non-avian dinosaurs, unrelated to birds, became extinct.

5. Scientists have identified an estimated 700 different species of extinct dinosaurs.

6. Modern birds are classified as dinosaurs because they have a common ancestor with non-avian dinosaurs.

7. Paleontologists study dinosaur fossils, which include bones, teeth, footprints, tracks, eggs, and skin impressions. Modern paleontologists use advanced imaging technology, such as CT scans and biomechanics, to understand dinosaur movement.

8. Early discoveries inspired legends and fairy tales, as people imagined these bones belonged to giants or monsters.

9. Dinosaurs appeared approximately 250 to 200 million years ago during the Triassic Period. Not all dinosaurs lived during the same geological period; some lived during the Jurassic or Cretaceous periods.

Playing in mud

So Much Fun!!

Who said playing in the mud isn’t fun? My grandson Joey is a living testament to the joy it brings! His laughter and excitement are infectious. I had a heartwarming chat with him yesterday, and his happiness is a constant source of joy for me.

When was the last time you played in the mud?

Why playing in the mud is good for you:

1. It is an excellent way for kids to interact with nature!

2. It can boost kids' creativity and imagination!

3. It can protect you from stress!

4. It can help reduce anxiety and calm you!

5. Playing in the mud may help boost your immune system!

6. It is suitable for your skin!

Playing in the mud is good for you, but never eat the mud!!! Never play in mud when you have a sore or cut on you; it can lead to an infection in your wound. 

D is for Doughnuts

Happy Thankful Thursday!!! 

We are on letter Dd of the Gratitude Alphabet! D is for doughnuts!

Joey loves to eat Doughnuts!! What are you thankful for that begins with the letter Dd?

Joey loves to be kind to others, and he is very thankful for all of you! Joey said that someone once said, "The magic words are please and thank you." Always say please if you'd like something and thank you when you receive it. Those two words can mean a lot.  

Have a great day!! Remember to always be thankful and kind.

Facts about Blue Whales

Blue Whale Facts 

  

Did you know a Blue Whale baby is considered the biggest baby on earth? When they are grown adults, their tongues can weigh almost as much as a small elephant. Their hearts are the size of a small car and can weigh as much as 1300 pounds. 

Blue Whales are the loudest animals on earth! Their call can reach one hundred eighty decibels and sometimes higher, and the sound can be heard for hundreds of miles underwater.

What is your favorite kind of whale?

Facts about Blue Whales:

1. Blue whales are the largest animals to exist on Earth. They can reach lengths of up to 100 feet and weigh over 200 tons. A blue whale’s heart alone is as large as a Volkswagen Beetle.

2. Blue whales feed primarily on tiny shrimp-like creatures called krill. During certain times of the year, a single adult blue whale can consume about 4 tons of krill daily.

3. Blue whales appear true blue underwater, but their coloring is more mottled blue-gray when they are at the surface of the water.

4. Their underbellies take on a yellowish hue due to millions of microorganisms living on their skin.

5. They have a broad flat head and a long tapered body ending in wide triangular flukes.

6. Blue whales are among the loudest animals on the planet. They emit pulses, groans, and moans and can hear each other up to 1,000 miles away. That is loud!

7. These graceful swimmers often travel alone or in pairs, occasionally swimming in small groups.

8. A baby blue whale emerges from its mother, weighing up to 3 tons and stretching to 25 feet.

Remember, these amazing marine mammals continue to awe us with their sheer size and fascinating behaviors!

Multiplication Math Trick

Math Trick

I wanted to share this super easy math trick with you guys. I did not learn this when I went to school, but I wish I had. I learned it while teaching my children math at home. It makes learning the 9 times table really simple.

Here's how it works: you write the numbers side by side on a piece of paper. In the tens place, you start at 0 and count up to 9; in the ones place, you start at 9 and countdown to 0. That's it! All your answers are right there in front of you. It's a breeze to do your 9 times tables with this trick. I wish I had it back in school, especially for the 9 times table, which was a real challenge. It's also been an excellent tool for teaching my son, who has Dyslexia.

Many cool tricks make math more accessible to learn. Please share a cool math trick that you learned with us.
