We all know who's who in our family that is our mother, father, grandparents, brothers and sisters. Do you who is your second cousin or a cousin once removed.

Kids Gifts Mint Insulated Lunch Tote, Nap Mats and Backpack

Presenting gifts to children is always a very interesting yet confusing task. Main problem is if they don’t like a thing they will never use it. We should be so careful in selecting colors. Easily breakable items cannot be gifted to kids. When they are very small, we can present toys, dress etc. but once they grow up, they begin to think thus making our work tougher.
Last week I was in a tough situation to select gifts for my two little cousins. Very last gift I have given them was some storybooks, so this time I opted for some little useful things. I managed to select very good presents for my cousins and they too liked it a lot. I would like to share the incident with you so it will be easy for you too.
For the elder of the two I decided to buy a mint insulated lunch tote. Purple colored mint insulated lunch tote with guitar bordered ribbon was my choice for her. There were lots of colors and varied ribbon designs to choose from. Lunch tote is so attractive to satisfy your kids expectations as well as made of sturdy nylon thus worthy for your money too.
For the younger cousin I decided to buy Mint toddler backpack. There is a huge collection of backpacks and I got confused to select one from it. Finally chose Navy Aqua Mint toddler backpack.
And as a common gift for both, I bought two Mint Personalized Nap mats. It suits for young children as well as toddlers. It can be rolled up and carried away making it easy to maintain. It has an attached soft fleece blanket and a removable pillow. Washing it requires just removing the pillow and drop it in your washing machine.
Once they removed the wrappers they were really excited. My cousin never forgets her lunch nowadays. Both goes to sleep earlier, they were very enthusiastic to use the things I gifted them. I was so happy that I had presented them something useful.
Hope you enjoyed reading this article .

Rafflesia - Worlds largest and smelliest flower

Rafflesia Arnoldii found in South East Asia forests including Phillipines measures almost 1m(3.3ft) across and weighs 11kg(24lb). It has an odor similar to rotting flesh and hence named stinking corpse lilly. This smell attracts flies thus helping pollination.Rafflesia is worlds largest and smelliest flowering plant. Rafflesia is also called as corpse flower.

Corpse flower is a very rare plant and it lives as a parasite on tetrastigma vine which are usually found in rain forests. Rafflesia buds takes many days to come up but flower withers out in few days. Moreover as Rafflesia is unisexual, successful pollination requires proximity of male and female flowers, which is very rare. Number of Rafflesia plants are descending and nearing extinction. Conservation efforts are also going on.

London bridge travelled from UK to USA ( largest antique ever sold)

Hi friends I read an interesting news from a book and ended in a very funny experience. My mom brought me a book and asked that particular information to be added in my blog.First lets see what I read.

"London Bridge was taken from the UK to the USA.The five arched stone bridge was made between 1823 and 1831. In the twentieth century, London Bridge needed to be replaced by one better suited to modern traffic. American businessman Robert P. McCulloch bought it for $2,460,000. The bridge was shipped out stone by stone. It was rebuilt in Lake Havasu City in Arizona and completed in 1971. It is the largest structure ever moved and the largest antique ever sold!"

I just read the first line "London Bridge was taken from the UK to the USA" and asked my mom, If London Bridge was taken to USA then how come it is still in UK. My mom had a hearty laugh and explained the entire matter. Hope this is what is called a cashewnut.

If you cant understand the matter I am trying to convey you, just have a look at the pictures below for a clearer view:
