His company offers a range of skills-based, issues based and qualification programmes. Adrian said: “It’s been a fantastic couple of years.

Mammasaurus! by Annie
RAWR I’m Mammasaurus ! Actually I’m really Annie, mother of 8, wife of 1, lover of gin… I write stuff, I draw stuff. Sometimes it’s funny, sometimes it’s nonsense and on the odd occasion it’s sad and thought provoking – but if I had to sum it up in word that word would be ‘eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!’. Make of that what you will.....
If your children are clean, well mannered perfect angels then you may want to pop a handful of valium and swig a large mouthful of gin as you’ll read of no such kiddies here.

MoneySmartKidz - Creating A World of Cash Savvy Kids! by Lisa Laughton McCarthy
MoneySmartKidz Started In The Bathtub! Yes, you read that right. Every night I would write stories and poems on the bathroom wall during bath time with my then 4-year-old daughter.  (Yes, I used bathroom tub crayons, I am not that crazy!)
My journey has led me me here to MoneySmartKidz, where my friends family, and others have encouraged me to share my stories and write some more. And now as publishing of e-books and hardbacks draw near a place where I can peddle my wares so to speak.  Besides, my husband re-did our bathroom and I am no longer allowed to write on the walls!

New Foundations by Edward G. Rozycki and Gary K. Clabaugh
Professionals trained for, and content with, merely executing the will of others just as easily serve a tyranny as a democracy.
Professionals in many fields find themselves losing voice in decisions that are most reasonably theirs to contribute to. Novices in their professions are taught to give lip service to a variety of organizational nostrums, but anything other than a shallow acquaintance with the how, the what and -- especially -- the why of reflective practice is often de-emphasized.
A self-governing future requires reflective practitioners who command a critical understanding of their professional thought and practice; ones who are ready and able to play a meaningful role in decision-making. NewFoundations provides resources and a forum for realizing this purpose.
