From credit cards to college stress, do your teens have the life skills they should?
The baby birds are getting bigger and it's time for them to leave the nest and try to fly. But not this little batch of nesters! They have decided they like their snug little nest and all of the amenities it offers. Why leave home when it's so nice and safe right here? Through the course of this musical, all of the other birds - including rapping raptors, humming hummingbirds, honking geese and more - will work to convince the babies that eventually everyone has to try to fly and make it on their own. And when you do, you might just soar! This charming 25-minute musical features five original songs and easy-to-learn rhyming dialog with over 30 speaking parts. The enhanced Teacher Edition includes piano/vocal arrangements with choreography, helpful production guide with staging and costume suggestions, PLUS an enclosed CD-ROM with reproducible singer and speaking parts.

Fine art giclée print on 310gsm Hahnemühle German Etching. Museum-quality inks and paper Archival lifespan of up to 200 years Your purchase directly supports the artist Artist's Statement This print is third in a series of three works created when my first daughter was leaving home for college. It represents her flying off to start a new life and her sister and I being left behind. Biography Sheelyn Browne is the 14th great-granddaughter of Grace O’Malley and one of the Westport House Brownes.Sheelyn studied Visual Communications at the National College of Art and Design, Dublin and graduated with a Bachelor of Design in 1987. It was there that she became interested in relief cut printmaking, primarily in the form of Woodcut, which is one of the earliest techniques of illustration invented. The appeal for her was starting out in three-dimensional mode with knife and block of wood in hand, but with the end result being that of two dimensional – a print.Sheelyn’s earliest influences were the works of the 18th Century Japanese woodcut artists. However, the German Expressionists were always and continue to be her biggest influences – artists like Heckel, Kirchner and Nolde being favourites.

As the view changes through my window with the seasons, I am reminded how life changes seasons. Once upon a time, there was a young mum with two small girls. They started on an exciting homeschooling journey and learned many lovely things through unit studies, play, reading many wonderful books together, taking long walks out in the country and getting messy hands in a myriad of fun hands-on activities. Now one of those small girls is about to embark on a new college adventure and the homeschool shifts into a new season,a season with just one student. Our days look different now, not only because it's just the two of us, but because the path this young lady wants to follow is different to the one her sister wanted to follow. This young lady has hopes and dreams of attending a university. That means we have lots of hoops to jump through, expectations to meet and certificates that 'prove' she is educated to attain. It's true - it was so much simpler when they were small. It was easy to keep them safe and tell them what it was they were to do, wear, eat, go. Sometimes this 'grown-up' world can be scary. But most of the time it is exciting! New dreams to be lived, to experiences to be had, new people to meet and a way to forge in the world. It is easy to slip into a melancholy way of thinking as our children fledge the nest, but as a good friend reminded me, these are exciting years full of promise and opportunity. I am not loosing my children, instead I am gaining two wonderful young adult daughters who are well adjusted, happy, content and ready to face the world with confidence. I have said many times before how much I appreciate the uniqueness of each season, the same can (and should) be said of living. Our season of raising little ones is over, we are coming to the end of rearing teens (two years that I will savor), in a few years our chicks will have fledged, then it's time for husband and wife once again to live their own dreams. Their together dreams. The ones that they spoke of on their wedding day. Some goals achieved, more to reach for. Such is the circle of life...
