At the Zoo this coming Weekend--Baby the Planet Expo

Check out the Columbus Parent Magazine Expo at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium this weekend, May 2 and 3. In its fifth year, the newest addition this year is adding another expo to it. I like to think of it as an expo within the "mother" expo. It is called Baby the Planet Expo and is all about teaching families how to be more eco-friendly with fun activities and information on alternatives. The kids will have a blast with this event, as there will be lots of hands-on activities for them to explore. I know that mine are excited!

My company, Addison's Compass, is proud to be an event sponsor for the Baby the Planet Expo, as proceeds go to a non-profit called No Child Left Indoors of Central Ohio. This focuses on encouraging and educating children and parents about the importance of being out of doors! Enjoy our planet, be kind to our Earth, get some exercise, and get back to nature. Nothing like the smell of fresh air. I'll be at this event too with an Usborne Books and More booth. These books are made from a sustainable source and I'll be showcasing their Go Green Kid Kit, which shows how to make recycled paper! Plus I'll have many more books on science, Earth, animals, and more.

Please go to www.babytheplanetexpo.com for more information and a run down of activities. Hope to see you there!

One of things I decided to make myself even more busy with is selling these wonderful children's books that I was introduced to. I went to the Ashland Symphony's Dazzle shopping event in November and I purchased some books from a lady selling Usborne Books. The kids and I liked them so much that we wanted more, and after hearing all the benefits I decided to take the plunge and become and independent consultant. The books are colorful, fun, very educational, and reasonably priced. I would recommend them to anyone, so I thought then why not sell them? Plus people can have home parties, and it is always fun to plan parties. Seriously, I do think that anything we can do to help promote literacy and to keep encouraging the love of books in children is something that needs to be done.

In my blog, I plan to give some updates on how being a consultant goes. First, I need to find some people to host home shows, e-shows, join me in sales, or buy direct from www.ubah.com/z2837
