But in acne, dead skin cells can become trapped in pores, and instead of sloughing off, they form a plug with the sebum. But of course it’s easy to unconditionally love a child who had no choice in the matter. Of course it’s easy to love a beautiful toddler. It’s easy to love someone who can’t say words that hurt you. You Can Do It, Stinky Face really focuses on the special connection between a mother and her child and being a Mom myself...well this just made me smile. Flament F, Francois G, Qiu H, et al.

Here, the cat is “smelling” its environment by collecting pheromones that are passed to the vomeronasal organ. It might look silly and cute like a flehman response, but cats do it for a reason.

In this unit, students explore different concepts and techniques in the arts domain. Students are encouraged, through learning experiences in the areas of drama, dance and music, to think outside the box. There’s a children’s book I’ve loved since I was pregnant with my oldest called “I Love You, Stinky Face”, by Lisa McCourt. It’s all of the kids’ favorite, I’m on the second copy. I’m very theatrical when I read it. Before Ian’s wake, I sat next to his coffin and read it with the other two kids. And I just realized why I’m enamored by it. Here’s an excerpt, “But Mama, but mama, what if I were a super smelly skunk, and I smelled so bad that my name was stinky face?” [would you still love me then?] “Then I’d plunk you in a bubble bath! But if you still smelled stinky, I wouldn’t mind. I’d whisper in your ear, ‘I love you Stinky Face”. It’s a very cute story about a mom loving her kid no matter what gross, terrible thing he becomes. And then all of the sudden it rushed over me and all I could feel was: Read the story I Love You , Stinky Face by Lisa McCourt to celebrate Mother's Day in your classroom. Then let the children set their imaginations loose on this writing activity where they create a book just for their own mom! You Can Do It, Stinky Face! is a precious children's book that reflects the beautiful love between a mother and her child and is perfect for young children and parents to encourage special moments during reading time.The main focus of this unit of work is exploring, broadening and enhancing the children’s personal creativity. Rikishi introduced The Stinkface in February 2000 in Mobile, Alabama. The Big Bossman had the (dis)honor of being the first recipient of the Stinkface. This became one of Rikishi's signature moves, and he used it in many of his matches. Damn, son. Then I’d talk to you through touch, I’d learn more about your condition then doctors, and I grow strong from that deep dark place. You Can Do It, Stinky Face! is the perfect childrens book for younger kids. The book is easy to hold with little fingers and is illustrated with bright vivid colors which help to keep the child's attention. It also encourages children to use their imagination when reading and love how the mom in the story is always encouraging the child to look at the good in every experience and shows the child how to be positive in every situation.

They will make their own mistakes, have triumphs that might occur outside of things I agree with (like pursuing certain professions that I find despicable), or be in relationships with people I hate. Although it feels like my responsibility to forge their path, to make sure they do the right thing, to make sure their “good”, it’s not. My only TRUE responsibility is to make sure they feel loved, nurtured and supported by me-as is.But mama, what if I (become a drug addict, fail out of school, marry someone of the same sex, be different from you etc) would you still love me then? Why does it become different then? Why did I grow up thinking and feeling that if I wasn’t exactly a certain way that people wouldn’t love me? And I came to realize it’s not because I wasn’t worthy of love, but because the people around me (my parents, grandparents, teachers etc) were taught that I was a measure of their success or failure as a parent or educator. That their worth was based in my perceived success. And in understanding the way I loved Ian when he couldn’t prove to people that I was a good parent, that I was still expecting my other kids too. But mama, what if my accident caused so much trauma, you almost committed suicide, would you still love me then?” Flament F, Francois G, Qiu H, et al.
