My father showed me this song the other day. It’s by a Portuguese singer named Eduardo Mourato. The first video is the song “The Blue Ocean” in English. The second video is in Portuguese and is called “O Mar dos Acores”.

This guy really sings good. If you’re not Portuguese, you probably won’t think so and might not understand why he’s singing about the ocean. But seriously, the ocean is really the heart of many Portuguese people especially those from the island of Azores where my parents are from.

So enjoy some music from a culture you may not know. Watch the videos below.

I know it’s been awhile since I last updated, but things have been super busy around here. But without further ado, I’ll continue on with the ocean theme.

I came across this website that has an ocean campaign of educating people not to harm waterlife. The site itself is easy enough for a child to read and have characters such as Ariel from “The Little Mermaid“. There is also games that will help anyone understand what kind of materials will harm ocean life. Take a look at the site with your child and teach them the effects of throwing plastic and other things in the ocean.

Yes…I’m at it again with another site to my network. I started this one in the middle of October. I’m adding new content regularly too. What kind of website is it? It’s a children & parent friendly website that has great findings for both. Check it out. You’ll find lots of links to freebies too!!

LittleFindings.com

If you would like to exchange links with that site, let me know by leaving a comment. Thanks!

I’m not sure how many of you have seen the advertisement for ThinkWater.ca when watching tv. I happened to see it and decided to check it out. I’m glad that I did too. As someone who loves water, I found this website really interesting and I couldn’t agree more that we must not waste water. Who knows, maybe someday in the future we won’t have enough clean water for all living things.

It does make you think about how much water you waste. I know for myself, I could take less time in the shower than I normally do. I like to linger in the shower with the hot water, which of course is a waste. There are other things I’ll waste water doing such as keeping the water running in the sink for a long period of time. I’ve got to start being smart and changing my ways. We all could use water more wisely.

Here are some of the posters they have on their website. You can download these posters on their website and spread the word. These are my favourite that really get the message across in my opinion.
