Can Chocolate Improve our Customer Service?

I started making custom designs for gymnastics themed birthday parties over at The HandXStand. My recent addition in services includes making Hershey Kiss Labels. 

I know for many it seems a little bit odd being chocolate and all, but think of the possibilities it could provide to improve service in Gymnastics Centers.

Nutrition on the go to your Door Step!

Every time I walk down the cereal isle I get suckered into buying a few packs of granola bars. Perhaps it's that I'm usually hungry when I go or it could be the totally irresistible food packaging that makes my mouth water and causes me to completely ignore the price tags until I'm at the check-out counter. A typical pack of 8 bars cost well over $10 and I go threw a pack like candy. I'm hoping my husband doesn't read this post because I'm sure he would think I'm crazy spending this much money a month on just granola and energy bars.

Gymnast Nutrition Books

Recently, I've been asked by a parent of one of my gymnasts to talk about nutrition in hopes to get her to get on track to healthy eating habits. Knowing that a "Coach Casie says to eat," might not cut it, I've decided to try an activity to get all the girls involved. 

Not enough MAG memorabilia

As I do a random search for gifts for a male gymnast, I come to realize that my quest for something awesome is limited. Now, if I were to get something for a girl gymnast, that's easy. A new leo, a doll, keychain and even plenty of jewelry options make it easy for any mom to search for something for her little gymmie. Most of my female gymnasts have a wardrobe complete with gymnastics t-shirts, shorts and sweats. On etsy there is even complete gymnastics party favors for girls. The popularity of this sport is growing, let's get the boys something they can show the world they are awesome too!

Great Idea for Fundraising in your gym!

I've made these super awesome silicone slap bracelets that are a huge hit with my gymnasts and I've been selling them lately to friends in N. America.

Check out my Etsy Shop The HandXStand

These are relatively cheap to make here in Asia and I'm happy to do new designs. Any suggestions?

How to make something more AWESOME; Customizing bubbles!

Kids love bubbles, adults love bubbles, bubbles make anyone's day a good one and are also a fun way to implement fine-motor work into any lesson plan. I usually forget what a great tool they are for teaching pre-school classes until I take a stroll through the toy isle at the store, which is something I try not to do now that I have a toddler that likes to grab anything with eye-catching colors and textures.

However, I'm on the hunt for some neat ideas to use for the competition I'm putting together. Bubbles caught my eye today, lots and lots of bubbles caught my eye today. As I was seeing them stacked up in nice rows I thought to myself, "hmmm, I these sound like fun for the gymnasts to play with during awards. Hmmmmm, but these labels look too kiddy."
