Book Series for Music Lovers – The Musical Adventures of Grace
by: Kenneth E. Korber
Who is Grace?
Grace is a note. Grace notes are “minor notes that are sometimes used by the orchestra to give the music more ‘color’.” So, understandably Grace feels like in the big yearly town concert she just won’t be heard. So many big Musicians will be playing with a well-known Conductor when he joins the concert and everyone is eager to play the best and biggest notes and perform for the town.
Grace wonders how her little (note) self will stand out. It turns out that there is a special place where all of the unheard grace notes go. Together, all grace notes weave into the music silently, yet with a big role. Once they are played and were too quiet to be noticed they enter somewhere special.
Grace is the main character from the four part series “The Musical Adventures of Grace,” and was inspired by the Author’s son, a cellist, about grace notes. The four stories occur within all 4 seasons offering a children’s book to appreciate music.
So where do all of those grace notes end up? Turns out they have the biggest part in music than any other note! Read the Winter story to find out! Available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble and also on Steve Korber’s website.
Before we discuss the aMACEing baby bottles, let me introduce you to MACE Baby Products. Since 2015, the people at MACE Baby have been making products designed to help baby thrive. From bottles to toddler toilet seats, you’ll find quality baby items for your home.
The MACE Baby Bottle is not only leak-proof but also has the simulated flow of a mother’s nipple. They come in 4 colors and 2 sizes and I have tried it out myself-no leaks! Their patented leak-proof nipple also has a uniquely designed anti-colic vent that helps reduce colic and symptoms like burping, gas, and reflux.
The bottles are BPA free, lead free, and phthalate free. It is also dishwasher safe so cleaning is easy! You can find these bottles on Amazon! Get one now for your home or as a gift for a new Mom or Dad in your life.
I gave my gender, desired size (I chose travel), height, weight, shoulder shape, preferred sleep position, preferred firmness, mattress type and turns out I am a Medium Model #21 cervical pillow! What model are you?
Taking the quiz is quick and you will get the exact pillow that is right for you. I love the travel size, the pillow case designs (extra) and carry bag so it can stay formed and clean as I travel. You can get all you need to take this custom pillow on the road (or air) with you. Or, get a larger size to keep at home.
I have a slipped disc in my neck and when it flares up I get severe pain in my neck and shoulder and even have my neck seize at times. It is so painful and I feel that pain the most if I use the wrong pillow.
Also, look how well this pillow can blend into your bedding with the fun cases available! Cervical pillows don’t always have to be ugly monsters on your bed. The Headleveler pillowcases are so pretty and come in dark and light shades.
My sleep? Amazing! You can spend a fortune on several pillows until you find the right one so I had to give this one a few nights to judge. The quiz I took really has me confident this is the right pillow for me. The firmness is spot on for my liking and the support is exactly what my neck requires.
Take the quiz and shop your favorite pillow at Headleveler now!
When we bought our home we finally had enough rooms to not have to share spaces. No more sharing a guest room with my office or game room in a bedroom which was always a constant mess. When we settled in and I started decorating for our new home, I really took pride in our guest room. It was a small room, but I worked with the space and made it a small guest room space that entertains.
I took a small dresser and I made sure they are 100% empty to use as guests wish. The TV is small and not overwhelming, but enough. Because we don’t keep cable in the guest room, I have our JetstreamHD TV Box With Voice Control Search Remote by Ematic.
Let me stop a moment and talk about having an HD TV Box. It is 2019 and that means most people are used to their favorite streaming shows and sites. Whether there is a sports game or TV series they are into, an HD TV Box will bring all of that to your guest room. Our JetsreamAGT418 is available at Walmart and gives your guests access to over 450,000 movies and TV episodes on over 4,500 paid or free channels, including Netflix, Hulu, and PBS Kids. Showcase all the favorite entertainment including movies, TV shows, games, sports, music and much more all from your Android, iOS, Mac, Windows, Chromebook or TV! Chances are they brought their tablet or laptop so this is a great piece to have in the room!
Back to more tips for small guest room spaces! When it comes to electronics I keep the remotes on or right at their given devices. When I have a guest over the remotes are not all stacked on a table. The TV remote is at the TV, HD TV Box remote with the box, etc. This makes guessing what controls what so much easier. I also keep the TV input set back to the right Smart TV input so when the guests turn on the TV it is ready to stream correctly.
Other touches are easy to handle if you think like a hotel. Have towels, soaps (I get mine from leftovers at hotels), a clear closet that is 100% empty, trash can and an outlet strip if needed for use. I also have a new bottle of water on each nightstand and a fan.
On my walls I made sure there was a mirror somewhere, so I bought a large framed mirror to hang. I also began collecting brochures when at lobbies and hotels to use on my walls. This is a fun decor idea. In the photo below, notice I also included a sheet with our Wi-Fi info to have easily available for guests. I arranged on clipboards by adventures: Seattle (our local town), mountains, sea, local and more. Do what makes sense for your area or find brochure templates guests can sit and go through as they get to know the area.
I think that about covers it. From the photo below I have all my guests need in one small space. I can also mention that my guests get a Queen Sleep Number bed because my husband and I upgraded to a King so we passed the queen down. Now our guests can position the head fully up to sit and work or watch TV.
