Last Minute Stocking Stuffers: Thermos Intak and Foogo Review

A while back, Heather wrote about Thermos Funtainers.  Today I have a few quick comments about the Thermos Intak Water Bottles and the Thermos Foogo Sippy Cup.
Not much you can say about water bottles.  They hold water.  The Intak does that well, and in fun colors, too.  The Intak also has a nice, wide spout that not [...]

And the Winner is….

Marvin’s friend Elly is home from school on a snow day today. So, she agreed to write 116 number squares on paper and put them into a hat for us! Then, she mixed them all up (thoroughly!) and drew them out of a hat at random.  Meanwhile, Marvin’s person quickly scrolled down the blog to [...]

Burnout?

I’ve heard people in the CPS community talk about burnout.  I’m aware that it exists and I know it happens to many technicians and advocates.  They start off all gung-ho but then they do too much, too often and they just get burned out.
