I want to tell you about a very important television event premiering commercial free on Monday, February 29th at 8 pm est. National Geographic is bringing the story of Malala to the NatGeo channel.Malala

Growing up in Swat Valley, Pakistan 10-year-old Malala started to campaign for the rights of girls to receive an education. Using a pen name Malala wrote a blog for the BBC detailing her life under Taliban rule and her feelings on promoting education for girls. Her voice was almost silenced when she was shot by the Taliban at the age of 15 on her way home from school on her school bus.

However her spirit was not ready to be silenced and she did not die and she did not just survive, she thrived! She went on to win the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize which was jointly awarded to her and Kailash Satyarthi for their work in the field of children’s rights. Malala is the Co-Founder of The Malala Fund, a non-profit organization whose work around the world focuses on the rights of girls to receive a quality education.

National Geographic, All-Terrain Nature Collector & High Sierra Eco Explorer Review & Giveaway!!!

I recently connected with Uncle Milton and had the opportunity to review some toys from their National Geographic Outdoor Explorer Series.  I chose the All -Terrain Nature Collector and the High Sierra Eco Explorer.  These are just perfect for my little guys who love go and find bugs and various critters in the woods, streams and lake near our home.

The All Terrain Nature Collector features grip and go action, snap on collections domes, turnable handles for easy collection, and an explorer activity guide.  My little guys loved the grip and go action and that they cold collect the specimen from a distance and then carefully observe it before releasing it back to its habitat.

The High Sierra Eco Explorer has a bug viewer, searchlight, headlamp, magnifier, soil sifter, recon tool, belt clip and explorer activity guide.  My husband and kids liked that the light connected to the collection container for easy viewing of the specimen.  This set is great because it has a handy belt clip that will let you attach most pieces together and hang from your belt loop.

Uncle Milton is sponsoring a giveaway on Mommy Ramblings.   One lucky blog reader will win a National Geographic High Sierra Eco Explorer Kit.  Thank you Uncle Milton for the review products and for sponsoring this great giveaway on Mommy Ramblings!!!  Open to US residents.

I was given a gift certificate to purchase something and to get aquainted with the Novica experience.  With so many artisians and places to choose from it was very difficult.  I ended up choosing Pinewood wall art, “Angel of Hope.”  Shaped of pinewood, a beautiful angel brings a message of hope. Woodworkers of Jesus create this beautiful image, painted by hand in radiant color. The sun glows on her chest while birds, flowers and animals flourish under her protection.  An artisan story card is included with purchase.

What a wonderful way to buy beautiful things from skilled artisans all over the world.  This handcrafted angel came with free gift wrap and when I opened it I just loved the colors and the workmanship was beautiful.  This is such a colorful piece and it just makes me happy to see it.  Some beautiful things include Womens Robes, Sarongs and Floral Bracelets.
