What should the tongue normally look like? Well, it is a powerful but small muscle that is medium pink in color. It attaches to the back of the mouth cavity. When you speak, the tongue moves against the palate to help you to form words. When you eat, the tongue helps to break down the food as you eat it.

Now that you know what the tongue needs to look like, you are going to hear about what happens when we are not taking good care of ourselves.

Halloween is more fun than ever.

Miniature Coffins

As tiny props around the candy bowl, hung on the front door frame or sitting in a window sill, coffins only six inches long makes a great decoration. They can be filled with flowers, candy or dolls to complete the picture.

They're also super easy to make. Just use your favorite drawing program on the computer and make the classic coffin shape. This is the 'toe pincher' style in which the overall shape narrows at the bottom and top, with a wider section in the middle.

When your female dog, called a dam or bitch, is about to give birth there are frequently clear signs. These signals can help you know when to put her in the whelping area, near the instruments. Oh, you don't have one? You haven't any instruments? Oops... better back up and prepare.

Taking into account that schools are a realtively modern invention, children have been home-schooled until the late 19th century. From then, laws compelled children to go to public school. However, public schools were not seen as the best option for the early advocates of homeschooling.

Some parents just aren't particularly suited to providing education. Yet they want the best education possible for their child and know that public school can't provide that. Private school is often economically out of reach, and still often a second-best in terms of quality. The solution is to hire a tutor.

There are a dozen popular approaches to how to design a homeschool program for a child. They range from highly structured courses, to no structure at all.

Unschooling is an approach to homeschool education that represents the most unstructured approach to learning. It means, as the name suggests, not designing a curriculum at all. Instead, the child is allowed to explore any and all interests, at any pace and in any order they choose.

Thanks to the Internet, you have hundreds of Halloween sound effects at your disposal. You can download MP3s, wav files and more that cover the entire range of options.

Suppose you plan to build a graveyard scene in your front yard. You've lit the scene and now you're ready for the final touch. Just think of all those camp horror movies with the about-to-be victims skulking through a darkened cemetery. What do they play in the background? A loop of ghoulish organ music would be the perfect choice.

Keeping kids occupied is an age old dilemma that many parents face and finding a solution to childhood boredom may seem overwhelming. However, help is at hand. There are plenty of games for children to consider when looking for something to fill time with fun activities for kids.
