My Review of Geomag Glitter Magnetic Construction Set

My daughter was excited to receive a Geomag Glitter Panels 35 Pieces Magnetic Construction Set to review. She told me that her school has these magnetic sets for use during wet breaktimes and for some educational activities. She loves the glitter set for its colour and sparkle. The magnets are strong, and the pieces are sturdy and tactile. My daughter likes sensory toys and enjoys creating and building structures, so this was a great toy for her. I think it would work well for children with sensory processing challenges, and it is a great “fidget” toy for children with a short attention span. My daughter had hours of fun constructing cubes, triangles, random structures, and then changing them around.

How to Address School Problems with Teachers

Teachers are just likely everyone else, they’re human beings who often work overtime just to ensure that the children of today will have an education so they can go on leading the future of tomorrow. Teachers are heroes, and they deserve so much love and respect. Unfortunately, teachers don’t always receive the recognition that they deserve. Could you handle being in a class with over 20+ children? It would get terribly exhausting! 

Sometimes, children get into conflicts with the teacher, then the parent gets dragged into it.  Other times, these aren’t about the teacher or the child but the school itself. Regardless of what’s happening, it’s important to know how to address these conflicts. So here’s how to get it done.

Speak respectfully

Regardless of your opinions of the teacher, you’re going to need to show them respect. They’re your child’s teacher, and they deserve to have that respect. You want to set a good example, especially if your child is going to be present.

Get to know the school

Never be afraid to reach out and learn more about the school. Maybe there’s something happening that you don’t approve of or maybe you just never hear of anything such as events going on in the school. This could get you wondering about what sort of protocols the school has and even whether or not they have school wellbeing monitoring software to check up on the staff to see that they’re going aright. Get yourself out there, get involved in the school, and get yourself known.

Always show gratitude

Always give your thanks and gratitude to the children’s teachers. They work so hard and they deserve to be praised for all of their hard work. Let them know that you and your children appreciate them. This sincerely can make a world of a difference.  

Avoid being defensive

Teachers are not there to talk down to your children or to make them feel bad. They genuinely care about all of their students and want to be there to help out. If you feel as if the teacher you’re talking to is showing criticism towards your child, just take a step back. They don’t mean any harm. Just listen to them as this will help you figure out what you, as the parent, can do about your child.

Address your concerns

Teachers want to hear what the parents have to say. If you have any concerns, don’t be afraid to talk about them to them. This can include asking them how your child’s grades are, their behavior in school, how they mingle with other children, and even if there’s anything you can do to help out with the class or any after school programs. It’s always helpful to ask and raise concerns. Just make sure you address them all in a kind manner.

If there are any issues, go through the teacher first

Instead of going directly to a principal or headteacher, go to your child’s teacher first in case there are any issues. Talk to them about it, and then afterward seek the right channels.

#BookTalk “Beloved Woman” by Jonathan Kimba

“A love story spanning generations . . . a saga to take your breath away!”

“Beloved Woman” by Jonathan Kimba: male author delivers exceptional new romantic novel – heartfelt, traumatic and utterly engaging.

#BookTalk Beloved Woman by Jonathan Kimba featured at SpookyMrsGreen.com mindful parenting and modern pagan lifestyle blog.
#BookTalk Beloved Woman by Jonathan Kimba

“Beloved Woman” by Jonathan Kimba

They say true love often travels on a gravel road, which is certainly true for the characters Benjamin and Abigail, lovers featured in Jonathan Kimba’s new romantic fiction piece ‘Beloved Woman.’ This book is at times raw, heartfelt, and highly volatile- inviting readers to journey with the pair as their lives lurch from one dramatic scenario to another. As the relationship appears to start to crumble, Cupid intervenes and kick-starts the affair again. Just like magnets, the couple are attracted and then repelled, time and time again. Will it all have a happy ending? You’ll be absorbed in this skilfully constructed romantic literature finding out.

Romantic fiction has long been regarded as the reserve and perhaps preserve of female authors, but there’s been a recent, gradual trend of men putting their hearts and reputation on the line by producing some exceptional works – John Green, Nicholas Sparks, Graeme Simsion, Richard Paul Evans, and Charles Martin, to name but a few of the best. Like any other category of writing, great romance fiction is written (and sold) by both women and men. One of the most successful writers in the early years of romantic fiction was Tom Huff, who wrote under the pseudonym of Jennifer Wilde.

Fast emerging as one of the best of British romantic fiction authors is Jonathan Kimba and his new novel ‘Beloved Woman’ is testament to that. It’s a powerful piece of writing depicting a relationship which endures for many years, with all its trials, tribulations, and ecstasies. A real rollercoaster of emotions which will have you hooked from beginning to end. Hold on to your hat – you’re in for a bumpy ride!

Synopsis of “Beloved Woman” by Jonathan Kimba

A love story spanning generations . . . a saga to take your breath away!

Two people grow up believing that one true love was never meant to be, and their dreams might always remain unfulfilled. But fate always has different plans for the naïve, doesn’t it? Fall in love as our lovers go through an immense, intense, and transformative experience, drifting apart but being drawn back together by a magnetic force time and time again.

Be transported into this multi-generational journey, of endearment, lust, pain, regret and, last but not the least, coming together despite all odds being stacked against ultimate love.

In the author’s words

“I like to think my work is romance writing at its finest and also that I am one of the few male writers in romance fiction.”

Reviews

“This book just blown me above the roof, while I was reading it. I did enjoy the read also it has a lot of good points in it. You wouldn’t wanna miss out! Go grab your copy to enjoy the story.” – Joshua

“It’s a great book to read about inspiring love one of the best books I’ve read so far, and I’d happily read it again.” – Hayden Thomson-Howarth

About the author

Jonathan Kimba’s debut work is the result of an inspiration-driven blossoming writing journey. The journey of love that is ‘Beloved Woman’ narrates the passionate love story of Benjamin in his pursuit of Abigail, a conscientious social worker, and an upright lawyer.

Through the story, Jonathan takes his readers through a breath-taking show of resilience, determination and will, as evidenced by Benjamin winning Abigail, despite Abigail pushing him out of the way due to the painful love experiences she has had in the past.

Jonathan currently resides in England, where he spends his time gathering inspiration for writing his romance novels. You can find him pursuing his other cherished passion, football, in his spare time. You can see him either on the pitch playing the sport or coaching other football players at the academy team.

“Beloved Woman” by Jonathan Kimba is self-published and available at Amazon. Buy the book here.

Tarot Card Reading for Love and Relationships + Tarot Card Review

Today is #WitchyWednesday and I am reviewing a brand-new Tarot card deck, The Essential Tarot, by Chloe Zarka Grinsnir. The Tarot cards were kindly gifted by GMC Books.

It’s funny how these cards called to me energetically. I feel the need to touch the box and connect physically even if I’m not working with them. I did a Tarot card reading this morning quite unexpectedly, because I found myself picking up the cards almost like I was in a dream. That’s when I know they have a big message for me, and boy, did they! It’s just a regular Wednesday here in Cheshire, England. But it feels like something big is changing for me personally, and I welcome it.

Anyway, here is today’s Tarot card reading for Witchy Wednesday. I wrote the message as it came through to me, but you might find that some of it resonates with you. Please comment and tell me if you receive any wisdom, or even if you feel nothing and want to share. Also watch my video on Instagram to get a better look at the cards.

This is the first time I have had a Tarot card reading comprised completely of Major Arcana cards. Usually, I get one or two mixed with Minor Arcana. That means I must listen to this message. I might not follow the guidance because I am only human, and I am not perfect. But they can’t say they didn’t warn me!  

Essential Tarot Card Review by SpookyMrsGreen.com pagan lifestyle blog.
Essential Tarot Card Review

The Essential Tarot Card Reading

Today’s reading uses the Leaving the Past Behind spread, one that I chose energetically from my Tarot notebook.

1, What I need to leave behind me – The Empress

Ah, now I understand! She represents The Mother, a nurturing figure, a matriarch. Personally, I need to move on from being Mother. Yes, it is an important role, and I will always be mum to my children. But I can step back a little and allow others to share the burden. As I hit middle age, I find a sense of excitement for new adventures. No more babies for me!

2, What I need to take with me – The Emperor

Here is The Father, a man who rules with his head and not his heart. He balances the Empress, and today he is the one that I must seek to emulate. I should embrace my masculine side, use his rational influence, plan carefully, and I will achieve my goals. The same applies to you, whoever is reading this article right now. We may focus our time on business rather than family but being mindful of balance along the way.

3, Negatives to discard – The Lovers

I don’t like to see this card in this part of the reading. It forces me to face up to my current situation. Is this telling me to discard my lover? I mean, yes, we have had a hard time during the past few years, and it is well documented on my blog. We are a long way from fixed. But discard him completely? I’m not sure I can do that.

4, Positives to look forward to – The Devil

Hmm, did my cards get mixed up in the reading? The Devil represents the shadow side of The Lovers. On reflection, I understand the message. My relationship had grown obsessive and toxic, from my behaviour as well as his. I was able to release the destructive behaviours and forces, but it took time and a lot of effort. As I move forward now, I can see the light and the dark in my relationship, and I know how to respond.

5, Why a fresh start will be good for me – The Star

I am a different person these days. I visited my shadow side, I pulled out the dark stuff, and I worked hard to heal and release what I was holding on to. The Star tells me that She will light my way. Our hardships will ease. My projects and relationships will flow abundantly. I can move forward with joy.

Summary

Wow. I was not expecting such a powerful reading. This is my first reading with The Essential Tarot, and it packed a punch! The message confused me at first but now it makes sense. Life has been hard. It has also been easy. We live in a state of flux, often accepting outside influences. The Tarot sees me. And I decide on my life.

Are you ready to work on yourself, and make improvements in those areas where you feel lack?

#BookReview: Dìonadair: Tango Down Duology Part 1 – A Scottish second chance romance by Louise Murchie

It’s a long time since I read a book that stayed with me like this one. I got so hooked that I had to read it in one day, wandering around the house with my kindle in my hands, trying to multitask. That is the sign of a good book for me!

#BookReview Dionadair (The Tango Down Duet) by Louise Murchie featured at SpookyMrsGreen.com mindful parenting and modern pagan lifestyle blog.
#BookReview Dionadair (The Tango Down Duet) by Louise Murchie

My Review

The bit I enjoyed most was the three-way relationship that developed between Blythe and her men (brothers, by the way). Maybe it speaks to my inner thoughts, but I found it fascinating and interesting to read. Throw in the military references, modern technology, suspense, and mystery, and you have an intense book to read.

I haven’t read anything like this before and now I’m desperate for the sequel. Mature characters, tech galore, suspense and action. And let’s not forget the 3-way sex and lots of it! I like that the story is set in Edinburgh, it makes a nice change from the heavy London focus for this type of novel. I loved it!

#BookTalk Trodaiche (The Tango Down Duet) by Louise Murchie featured at SpookyMrsGreen.com mindful parenting and modern pagan lifestyle blog.
#BookTalk Trodaiche (The Tango Down Duet) by Louise Murchie

About the Book

In a web of mysteries, she must protect the men she loves. Can she unravel the threads and hold danger at bay?

Marcus McGowan: one night is all we had – one night filled with fire and passion that I never thought would be repeated. Years later, luck has our paths crossing once again. My brother and I are her new employers, and it doesn’t take long for business and pleasure to mix when she discovers we’re being threatened. We use the company’s skill to track down our assailants, but it’s Blythe that draws their attention so my brother can do what he does best; extract me from the situation. Blythe is our Dìonadair, our Defender, but she has become so much more than that. She has become the woman that we both love, our everything.

Blythe Grievson: Whoever is threatening my men and our company: is a fool. They didn’t factor in my tenacity, my need for answers, or my skills into their equation. These men have captured my heart, given me a Nirvana that I never thought existed. When I promise to defend them, a pact is made that I cannot let anyone break.

Dìonadair is a second chance romance set in Edinburgh, Scotland. It tells of mature characters ménages a trios/polyamorous, suspense love story with two ex-military personnel and is the first part of the #tangodownduet.

This does contain mature content and is suitable for 18+
