Picture this... Your Child: "CPO- Child Play Officer", sounds good?

One of the coolest jobs for kids is up for grabs! 

I just heard that Toys R Us Canada is looking for a 12 or 13 year old to become what they call a CPO- "Child Play Officer",

a one year contract where a kid gets toys delivered to their home, they test it, blog about it, and speak on national TV about it.

While most of us had our first time jobs working in newspaper delivery, dish washing, mowing lawns, babysitting, or greeting people in a store- this kid could have 'being a CPO for a world-wide company' on their resume as their first job. 

Not bad.

If you think your child can handle the workload of school, sports, church, friends, and on top of that, testing toys for a living- Toys R Us is accepting video applications online til next Thursday, July 6 at  Cposearch.ca.

One of the most beautiful churches Ive ever seen!

This past week I was able to spend time visiting with family in Arizona.

Last Sunday, we had the chance to visit one of the most beautiful churches I've ever seen, 2 hours north of Phoenix in a place called Sedona.

The chapel is built in the middle of a red rock-face mountain... Absolutely Majestic!

 

 

 

 

 

It's called 'Chapel of the Holy Cross', and has little golf carts that can take you up

the mountain so you can go inside the church. Or, you can walk.

 

The chapel is maintained by the  Diocese of Phoenix.

 

It was built by a Christian artist named Marguerite Brunswig Staude in 1956,
who had a dream of building a structure that would Glorify and Thank God.

 

According to the church's website,
the message of the chapel is to be able to "invite all" to spend time to
pray and get connected to their creator.

 

And when you visit a beautiful mountainous place like Sedona, how can you not!

 

This is definitely on the list of  'must-see' places for any Christian with
an appreciation for artistic churches, esp. those buildings that have been
created with the purpose to help people feel  the peace of Christ.

 

How to avoid Headaches after Rollercoasters

Carnival Season is among us again!  With sunshine in the forecast and Canada's Wonderland opening up this last weekend, its time to hold on to our seats and enjoy the thrill rides of rollercoasters!

But what to do if you're one of those who might get a bit of a headache after all the twists and turns of upside down loops and ultra fast rollercoaster drops?  After all, rollercoasters are known to increase heart rate and increase blood pressure.

(This especially applies to people who are prone to get light headed when they stand up too fast after lying down for a long period of time)

1. Keep hydrated by drinking lotsa water. Especially before riding a rollercoaster.  On hot sunny days, its easy to get de-hydrated especially when you're walking around the carnival from ride to ride, under the sun's ultraviolet rays all day long!

2. Eat during the day. Make sure you're stomach is not empty when you ride on those rollercoasters. However, don't stuff yourself too much... esp. with "deep fried" foods.... coz, well, you don't want to take a chance of having gravity affect your full stomach (if you know what I mean)

3.  If you know you're prone to get headaches after rollercoasters (I'm one of those people- but I LOVE coasters! So cant let that headache stop me...) Consider taking 1 aspirin half an hour before the ride, to prevent the onset of a headache.

And one more tip for the faint-of-heart who may get extremely freaked out during a rollercoaster drop...  A great way to enjoy the thrill of the rollercoaster, while not panicking too much- is to take a deep breath before a great big drop!!!

Happy rollercoaster riding! =)
