In my day, teachers of Home Ec classes instructed us on how to broil one-half a grapefruit (a tasty appetizer?) as well as how to hem an A-line skirt (of which I had many). Today, Home Ec has been renamed Family as well as Consumer Sciences, as well as Laura Spiegelhalter is readying students at duPont Manual High School inwards life skills such every bit nutrition, relationships, parenting, fashion, as well as interior design.
In fact, she is doing such a expert job...
...of guiding her students inwards these areas that inwards Nov she was named the 2015 winner of the Pride Award past times the National Association of Teachers of Family as well as Consumer Sciences at the organization's annual coming together inwards New Orleans. This laurels goes to a classroom instructor for outstanding function inwards the continued evolution as well as enhancement of menage unit of measurement as well as consumer sciences education.
Laura, 36, uses many of her classroom talents inwards running her ain household, which consists of hubby Joe, 5-year-old fille Caroline, as well as 1-and-a-half-year-old twins, boy JT as well as fille Laney. Oh, yes, as well as in that place are a domestic dog as well as a truthful cat added to the menage unit of measurement mix every bit well.
Not surprisingly, i of the items that industrial plant for her is her trusty vacuum cleaner.
Hoover Windtunnel Bagless Upright Vacuum
I similar to vacuum. It makes me happy. With the pets as well as the children as well as hardwood floors, in that place are constantly trivial tumbleweeds of dust floating around. I vacuum every day. It is my meditation. My hubby bought me a multi-hundred-dollar vacuum, but it was real heavy, as well as it merely didn't function for me. So he bought me the Hoover Windtunnel (which is the build I had before), as well as I dear it. It is lightweight, as well as I role the attachment hose on the baseboards as well as expanse rugs.
My 5-year-old knows how nifty it is. If the babies tumble cereal, Caroline says, “No big deal. Get the vacuum. We tin build clean it correct up.” I can’t imagine life without a vacuum cleaner.
Blend All-Natural Body Balm
This is a thick, all-natural moisturizer as well as is my favorite production inwards the house. I purchase it at the St. Matthews farmers market. My 5-year-old has eczema inwards winter, as well as she keeps a jounce of it past times her bed. I tried it every bit a handling on my son’s cradle cap, as well as it cleared upward inwards ii days.
Actually I role all the Blend All Natural products. They are made locally. My favorite lotion is the grapefruit ginger. I role their babe attention products, as well as inwards the summer, their põrnikas spray.
Boyz II Men CDs
I convey this group’s CDs at home, inwards my office, my classroom, as well as my car. I psyche to the actual CDs, as well as I convey all that they convey recorded. My students are used to Boyz II Men’s music playing inwards the classroom or my office.
Every year, I used to drag my sis to whatsoever concert of theirs that was unopen by. Last twelvemonth nosotros drove to Nashville to regard them. Now, she has larn a big fan of the group.
I am quondam school. I behaviour the CDs merely about amongst me as well as rotate them out from domicile to machine to school. My favorite songs? On Bended Knee, One Sweet Day, as well as Oh, Well.
