Miss Lori and The CAMPUS Kids have Summer and Camps on the mind
Hard to believe with all of the snow on the ground, but Summer is just around the corner! For many parents just like me that means research, phone calls, lines, waiting and registration, all for CAMP. My kids are looking at Columbia Fine Arts camp, basketball camp, museum camp and more. There are so many [...]
Miss Lori asks The CAMPUS Kids what Black History Month means in school
February is Black history month, but it hasn’t always been that way. Black history month actually started as a week by carter G. Woodson in 1926. Then it was known as Negro History Week. In 1976, as a part of the 200th anniversary of this country, Negro History Week was elongated and renamed Black History [...]
Avatar Sets a High Bar
Everyone’s talking about one movie right now – James Cameron’s Avatar. It’s only been in theaters for a couple of months but it’s already broken the money-making record of Titanic, another Cameron film. Avatar is a movie like nothing before it. It’s already won Golden Globe awards for Best Director and Best Drama/Action. People are still [...]
The New Scrubs Season
Scrubs has always been one of my favorite TV series. However, the current ninth season is not like the others. In this season, JD is now married to Elliot and they are expecting a baby. Also, this new season no longer focuses on Dr. Dorian (JD) but rather on the new med students whom the [...]
Miss Lori and The CAMPUS Kids have resolutions for 2010
“New year, New you.” That’s a popular campaign slogan that adults buy into, making all sorts of resolutions for change. For myself, when I make resolutions they are quiet. I keep them to myself. Lately though, I have been adopting a theme for my years, like love, peace, or hope. More of a mission than [...]
Miss Lori and The CAMPUS Kids find strength in CHARITY.
This has been a tough year for so many people. The economy has put many families under the water line, making the holidays a difficult time to handle. But in a time of powerlessness there is still a way to feel powerful, charity. No matter your situation I truly believe there is always something you [...]
Your Hair is Not a Laboratory
We guys spend about half our day playing videogames and the other half eating and sleeping. Girls seem toy sleep some, talk on the phone some and paint their nails some. But what seems to take up most of their time is their hair. From up-dos to corn rows and back to the traditional bun, [...]
Miss Lori and The CAMPUS Kids plan a Staycation in Chicago!
It’s time for Winter break. A chance for our children to shake off their school routines and hang loose for two weeks. (I think I am looking forward to it even more than my own kids. This has been a hard semester!) Typically vacations have meant just that, VACATIONS, a chance to get away from [...]
Miss Lori and The CAMPUS Kids beat the Winter Blues with Activity!
In my DVD Activate & Be Great The CAMPUS Kids and get ready for one of our fit-family-fun performances by practicing our songs and dances. In the Summertime we perform those shows live 4-5 times a week. In the Winter it’s only a couple of times a month. It can be hard to stay active [...]
Miss Lori asks The CAMPUS Kids about STRESS.
The holidays, though joyous in nature, can also be a very stressful time for families, particularly in light of the current, and far reaching, troubles with the economy. There are reports published daily about ADULT stress. So, I was wondering how the CAMPUS Kids were feeling. Their overall recommendation is that parents need to talk [...]
