Our Programs
Infant Programs (6 weeks - 1 year)
Babies grow and learn every day. Our goal is to provide a safe and nurturing "home away from home" where babies can explore and make new discoveries. We know that learning through play is extremely valuable at this age and our Early Foundations® Infant program is designed to give babies the skills that will serve as the building blocks for a lifetime of learning.
Toddler Programs (1 – 2 Years)
As toddlers develop friendships, self-esteem, and curiosity, our Early Foundations® Toddler program will help them explore their world in a safe and nurturing environment. Our unique curriculum is based on the philosophy that children learn best through experiences. So each day is filled with fun activities that excite and develop toddlers, giving them the comfort and confidence to speak those first few important words, as well as make their first friends.
Discovery Preschool Programs (2 – 3 Years)
At this age, children are making new discoveries daily. And as two-year olds begin to exert their independence, our Early Foundations® Discovery Preschool program is prepared to open their eyes to a world of learning, sharing, and exploring. Our holistic approach in the classroom engages young minds with a blend of music, art, and movement, as well as the early education fundamentals they'll need as they continue on to preschool.
Preschool Programs (3 – 4 Years)
As preschoolers gain more self-esteem, they may feel ready to take on the world. Our Early Foundations® Preschool program enhances that confidence by providing activities to help children become problem solvers and lifelong learners. Through independent exploration, structured activities, and hands-on learning, children will work on early literacy, math, science, and social studies concepts. A healthy dose of running, jumping, and dancing keeps them active too.
Prekindergarten Programs (4 – 5 Years)
Prekindergartners are preparing for the adventure of a lifetime – school. And our Early Foundations Prekindergarten® program is designed to get them ready by teaching letters and words, math concepts, and valuable social skills. With small group instruction, independent play in an organized atmosphere, and whole-group activities, children will have all the right skills to hop, skip, and jump right into kindergarten.
Before- & After-School Programs (5 – 12 Years)
Even after school's out for the day, children need to be engaged in a comfortable, yet stimulating environment. That's where our Catch the Wave® program comes in. This innovative before – and after-school program allows school-age children to balance learning and fun through a variety of experiences. From homework help to fun physical activities, our program is designed so that everyone goes home happy.
Interactive Kindergarten (5 - 6 Years)
A full-day interactive Kindergarten program that utilizes new curriculum with an interactive smart board making first grade readiness a priority.
Summer Programs (preschool, prekindergarten, and school-age)
Don't miss out on KinderCare's Summer of Wonder: Six themed programs that will make summer exciting, educational and tons of fun. Whether your child is in our preschool, Pre-K or school-age programs, all of it is designed to help children learn while soaking up the fun. We offer flexible scheduling options to meet the needs of busy families like yours so we hope to see you there.
Participating Child Care Aware Center
KinderCare has partnered with Child Care Aware® of America in an effort to offer fee assistance for Active Duty military families and solutions to their child care needs when care at a Child Development Center on the installation is not available.
Learning Adventures - Enrichment Program
The Cooking Adventures program gives children opportunities to participate in fun, developmentally appropriate cooking experiences. They will learn about recipes, ingredients, cooking vocabulary, and the importance of a healthy diet. The curriculum includes lessons on picnics, pizza, and heart-healthy meals.
The Math Adventures enrichment program is designed to teach important mathematics concepts such as geometry, numbers, measurement, and probability. Your child will learn about length, height, and weight. He will learn about shapes and solids. He will learn how to add, subtract, multiply, and count money. Math is everywhere and giving your child every advantage now will add up to success later in life.
Ongoing research proves that early exposure to music helps children think, reason, create, and express themselves. Children will laugh and learn about rhythm, vocal melodies, and a variety of musical genres and instruments, which can lower stress and advance memory. Learning never sounded so good.
Phonics & Reading Adventures
Set your child up for advanced success with literacy through phonics, the study of letters and sounds. Reader books, games, and activity cards help your child understand the basics of vowels and blending syllables, giving him confidence and command of language.
Spanish Adventures provides young learners with a foundation for later success with the Spanish language. Music, games, children's Spanish literature, and other tools give children multiple opportunities to hear, practice, and see Spanish language for vocabulary and conversational development. Curriculum includes lessons on greetings, numbers, colors, animals, family, body parts and pets as well as how to get engage conversationally during common scenarios at home, a restaurant, or at the zoo.

Upcoming Center Activities
Children 6 weeks to 3 years old: All About Me and Dinosaurs
Infants and toddlers will learn all about themselves while kids in Discovery Preschool will take a look at our favorite extinct creatures: dinosaurs! Infants will look at their reflections in mirrors, listen to voices through cardboard tubes to encourage babbling, and practice self-expression as they move while listening to music. Toddlers will create body-related artwork (like paintings of their faces) and imagine the future as they pretend to be all grown up while playing dress-up. Meanwhile, children in Discovery Preschool are in for a "dinomite" time learning all about dinosaurs and their habitats, and they'll build essential skills through fun, theme-related activities—like counting dinosaur eggs and going on pretend fossil hunts!
Children 4 to 5 years old: Foods and Flavors, Shapes and Colors, and Alphabet Letters/Review
For the first two weeks of August, older children will be learning all about the basic food groups, where food comes from, and how to make healthful food choices. After that, preschoolers will be getting artsy as they explore shapes and colors using materials like blocks, paint, play dough, and colored water—and they'll even take their knowledge outdoors with scavenger hunts for colors and shapes! Their older friends in Pre-K and Transitional Kindergarten will be getting up close and personal with the alphabet as they learn uppercase and lowercase letters, the sounds the letters make, and how those sounds can be combined to make words—all culminating with the creation of a classroom alphabet book.

Our retreat workshop service draws on components of our website redesign process-- specifically, the collaborative, consensus-building design workshop. Using this human-centered approach, we highlight both personal experience and team values. We believe that identifying values and beliefs plays a huge role in creating buy-in and support of an organizational mission and vision.
Earlier this summer, LibraryLink NJ asked us to investigate and share best practices in makerspaces in libraries across the state of NJ. We researched what libraries were doing differently in their spaces, how they were engaging the maker community, and what they were seeking to improve. We then gathered the leaders of the makerspaces across the state together at a workshop to generate ideas on how the makerspaces could collaborate. One of the greatest outcomes of the project was another engagement with LibraryLink NJ: to plan and facilitate their board retreat. There, we provided them an opportunity to establish personal relationships and set a foundation for the mostly online interactions in the upcoming year.
Dear P'unk Ave --
Thank you so much for the follow-up to our Board Retreat last week. Reviewing the slides was taking a trip down memory lane. I love the integration of the written word and the photos -- both are so powerful and evocative of the day.
To say that I am thrilled with the results of the Board Retreat is an understatement. I feel that we met our goals of getting to know each other, working together as an effective board and getting a jump start on our strategic plan. It's set us up for success in the coming year together.
Thank you again.
Kathy Schalk-Greene, Executive Director
LibraryLinkNJ: The New Jersey Library Cooperative
Whether we're planning and facilitating a board retreat or designing and building a website, we want to help our clients tell their story and be their best version of themselves. No matter how we evolve what we do here at P'unk Ave, our work continues to focus on helping our clients articulate why they do their work and bringing that narrative and mission to life.

Well, it wasn't exactly a date, but my best friend kind of set me up with one of her guy friends without my knowledge and we hit it off pretty well. I don't think it's a bad idea. It worked out well for me. :)
It's not a good idea

The government of the Netherlands has canceled a contract for eight high-gross-weight MD 902 Explorers. The March decision comes in spite of MDHI's pleas that the company needed more time to complete certification test flights because unsuitable weather conditions precluded some testing.
MDHI claims it has completed as much as 98 percent of the test-flying program, but specific density altitude conditions–vital to demonstrating the acceptability of the 270-pound increase–had been unseasonably difficult to replicate in MDHI's home state of Arizona. "We have been floating between here and California, trying to get the right conditions," said MDHI law enforcement manager Dale Christman.
Despite this further setback, MDHI plans to complete the certification process. "We are through the most stringent stuff with the FAA and EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency)," commented Christman.
Tom Piron, who runs MDHI's Benelux distributor, Helifly, says he has not yet given up on the deal. "It is frustrating: achieving 7,000-foot density altitude is not normally a problem. When the weather is right, then of course we need to get the officials in. It's coordinating both that gives us the headache.
"We just need a little luck and we can get them done," he told AIN

Carbonate pore structure and therefore permeability is controlled in large part by unique diagenetic events and products, and a complex wettability structure that is often dominantly weakly-oil wet. This produces a highly diverse array of pore types and size, styles of connectivity and tortuosity, and in turn flow behaviours. While changes in porosity can be directly related to diagenetic petrographic characteristics such as cement distribution and dissolution features, quantifying how these textures control attendant changes in permeability ismore challenging. The impact of individual diagenetic events and their products on flow properties can, however, be isolated and modelled using 3D pore architecture models.
Porosity and permeability evolution through many diagenetic scenarios often display several 'diagenetic tipping points' where the decrease in permeability is dramatically larger than expected for the associated decrease in porosity. The effects of diagenesis also alters the capillary entry pressures and relative permeabilities, so providing trends that can be applied to real rocks. In turn, such diagenetic pathway models can be used to provide constraints on predicted flow behaviour during burial and/or uplift scenarios using 'diagenetic back stripping' of carbonate rocks. In dominantly microporous carbonates, average pore radius controls single-phase permeability, but has minimal effect on multiphase flow. When moldic mesopores are added to a microporous matrix, they only impact flow when directly connected: micropores control the magnitude of single-phase permeability. Recovery, however, is dependent on both wetting scenario and pore network homogeneity: under water-wet imbibition, increasing proportions of microporosity yield lower residual oil saturations.
Process-based models of early cementation (isopachous and syntaxial) show that isopachous cement is effective in closing pore throats and limiting permeability, but permeability changes due to syntaxial cement growth (preferentially on monocrystalline grains) is highly dependent on monocrystalline grain location and direction ofthe grain crystal axis, as this can create a highly 'patchy' distribution of cement.
During the last decade, as the shale resource characterization has come to the fore, the term "brittleness" has become a buzzword.

Helping all our members add to the global energy supply is AAPG's prime goal and will be for a very long time. Research shows that we have underestimated petroleum systems. Combine that with our ever-improving ability to extract energy sources from nano-scale spaces, and we have an energy revolution.
The AAPG Foundation recently announced the awarding of more than $100,000 to undergraduate students, geoscience student-led groups and seven military veterans, all part of its initiative of supporting geoscience education.
Over the last decade or so, marine controlled source electromagnetic (CSEM) technology has proven to be an effective tool to de-risk deepwater, really high cost drilling decisions. Yet it, along with magnetotellurics technology (MT), has both good days and bad days in the continuing uncertain financial environment.
The fully realized future of basin modeling doesn't exist quite yet, but the industry is somewhere on the verge of enhanced processing speeds and increased data inputs from seismic and sensors that will enable geoscientists to produce basin models at a level of quality and scope never seen before.
Acting with a goal of "geopolitical security," U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke has begun a heavy push to open Alaska's oil-rich, yet off-limits, federally-owned areas after decades of legislation and land management policies have kept some of them essentially out of reach.
Projections of Peak Demand timing range from "sometime in the next decade" to "never." The oil industry is following the issue closely because of the whispered possibility of "oil left in the ground."
The West Texas (Permian) Basin is a complexly structured intracratonic (IC) basin with prolific oil and natural gas production. It began as a subsidence basin ('Tobosa Basin') from Middle Ordovician to Devonian time, a response to the Cambrian rifting that separated Gondwana and Laurentia. In the Pennsylvanian to early Permian, it formed part of the Ancestral Rocky Mountains (ARM) orogen. The Texas-New Mexico segment of the ARM contains small to medium basement-cored uplifts, folds, thrust faults and two trends of strike-slip faults, with a pattern that is consistent with SW-NE compression. The largest thrust fault known in the basin is SW-vergent, and faces the deepest part of the Delaware Basin. This direction of compression is similar to that observed in the southern Oklahoma part of the ARM, which shows NE-vergent thrusting and left-lateral faulting.
This SW-NE compressive stress is grossly inconsistent with the northwestward convergence of the Ouachita-Marathon thrust belt southeast of the ARM. The ARM-generating stress may have originated either from the Pacific side (by flat subduction) or from strong continental collision in the Appalachian Orogen. Lines of weakness generated during the Proterozoic and/or Cambrian concentrated stress and created the complex structures.
The West Texas branch of the ARM is buried by over 2.5 km of post-deformational Permian strata -- the Permian Basin. Subsidence began during ARM deformation, then increased in rate and continued to the end of the Permian. Permian subsidence resulted in the maintenance of isolated deep-water marine basins until Late Permian time. The Marathon orogen also subsided, and shed little clastic material into the basin. Despite Mesozoic basin-margin modifications, the Permian isopach pattern suggests a bowl-shaped subsidence centered on the Central Basin axis of uplift. The size and shape of the Permian Basin are similar to other IC basins (Illinois, Michigan, Williston). Similar to some IC basins, the central basin area hosts a 1100-Ma mafic complex, which was subjected to compression in Pennsylvanian time. Sinking of a mafic crust or its subjacent lithosphere, begun during compression, may have been a driving force for Permian subsidence.
Over most of the basin, later Permian subsidence was responsible for putting source rocks into the oil window. Further maturation to gas occurred within the deep basins generated by ARM deformation and Marathon thrust loading.

Our ability to predict reservoir presence or map net reservoir in clastic depositional systems is dependent on our understanding of the depositional geometries of the various depositional systems and the variation of patterns within those systems. The processes associated with sediment delivery and sediment dispersal is the fundamental control on the architectural geometry of a depositional system. The processes associated with the interplay between sediment input and accommodation space are the fundamental controls on the lateral and vertical stacking patterns within that geometry.
The geometry of the depositional system is similar regardless of the depositional location or scale. As such, the patterns within the geometries are also similar, and, therefore, predictable. This is a powerful concept that the interpreter can use in predicting depositional geometries and patterns. Whether the reservoir being studied was deposited on land or on a submarine fan, or whether it is 100's of kilometers in scale or a kilometer, the geometry of the deposit is similar. Therefore, interpreters need only become familiar with the basic geometries of clastic depositional systems and the patterns that occur within those geometries.
Modern and outcrop analogs will be used, along with subsurface examples to provide the interpreter with a sound understanding of the reservoir distribution and quality, both laterally and vertically of the clastic depositional systems most commonly encountered as oil and gas reservoirs. The course is exercise-oriented and taught in PowerPoint format. A course manual is provided. The exercises in this course are designed to give you a strong working knowledge of the many depositional settings you are likely to encounter in your career. They are aimed at helping you to learn how to recognize them from well logs, and how to map them.
Over the last thirty years Brazil has seen some of the world's largest and most unexpected oil discoveries. This course will bring explorationists up to date with the latest academic and oil industry findings on the opening of the South Atlantic.
Supporting organisation IAGI will be conducting a Workshop and Field Trip on "Modern and Ancient, Integration of Outcros, Modern Depositional Processes and Subsurface Data". This will be led by Erlangga Septama, PhD, and Ir Herman Darman, M.Sc. More information including the program, investment fees and contact details can be found here.
The aim of the filed trip is to study Upper Jurassic microbial carbonates and to compare the lower part of the Purbeck Limestone Group of the Wessex Basin with the South-Atlantic pre-salt carbonates.

The Atlas Mountains of Marrakech extend more than 250 km East-West and 50 km North-South. They record the highest mountainous peaks in North Africa with altitudes exceeding 4,000 meters (Toubkal 4,165m and Ouenkrim 4,089m). Northward and southward, they rise hundreds of meters above the Marrakech plain (Haouz plain) and Imini syncline, respectively. The recently incised mountain valleys, created during the last inversion of the Atlas, form the crossing ways of the massif, as is the case of the main road that connects Marrakech to Ouarzazate passing via the Tizi n'Tichka Pass. They also provide the opportunity to view multiple breathtaking landscapes and contain outcrops that shed light on the geological evolution of the mountain from the Precambrian to the present. Day 1 of the field trip will allow participants to view Paleozoic outcrops through the Tizi n'Tichka Pass, which displays a complete Cambrian to Devonian succession and contains several organic-rich intervals. Mesozoic and Cenozoic deposits, which are exposed on the borders of the massif, will also be viewed briefly.
Day 2 of the field trip crosses the central Anti-Atlas Paleozoic basin and offers spectacular views of the largest oasis in North Africa, along the Draa River, and its majestic ancient Kasbahs. Participants will examine formations ranging in age from Upper Precambrian to Silurian. Discussions will focus on the evolution of their various depositional environments in relation to sea level changes. The well exposed sandstone formations provide the opportunity to view major Paleozoic reservoirsintervals, as well as the organic-rich "hot shales" that source these reservoirs. Rubble from recent water wells and ingenious sub-cropping irrigation systems (Khattara) provide the chance to sample fresh Ordovician and Silurian organic-rich and fossiliferous black shales. In addition, the participants will have perspective views of gentle folding generated during the Hercynian compression and related regional fractures.
**Field trip will end in Ouarzazate. All participants to arrange their own transport from Ouarzazate following the conclusion of the field trip.

Wadi Al Khoud exposes a number of tectonostratigraphic units, including autochthonous siliciclastic and carbonate sediments that range in age from late Cretaceous to Quaternary. The main deposits in the area are divided into four formations, the late Cretaceous clastics of the Al Khoud Conglomerate Formation and the shallow marine carbonate units of the Al Jafnyn (Umm Er Radhuma in the subsurface), Al Rusail (Rus in the subsurface) and Al Seeb (Dammam in the subsurface) formations. These rocks uncoformably overlie a spectacular ophiolite succession which includes deep-oceanic sediments. The Oman ophiolite was thrust over the northern margin of Oman during the late Cretaceous orogenic event, resulting in the development of new sedimentation patterns, faults and fractures.
This fieldtrip will cover three main stops in Al Khoud village:
Stop 1: Deep-oceanic sediments and ophiolite.
Stop 2: The unconformity between the Al Khoud Formation and Al Jafnyn Formation.
Stop 3: Shallow marine carbonate sediments of Al Jafnyn, Al Rusail and Al Seeb Formations.
Stop 4: (optional) Foraminifera Graveyard.
In this fieldtrip, we will focus our discussions on the reservoir characteristics, seal potential and tectonostratigraphic evolution of this part of Oman. There will be a brief mention of the dinosaur collection found within the Al Khoud Conglomerate Formation and mineral usage of the limestones (Seeb) and gypsum (Rus) in cement manufacturing. If lucky, shark teeth might be found in the carbonates of the Seeb Formation.
This three-day workshop builds on the success of the first AAPG Carbonate Reservoirs of the Middle East GTW, held in Abu Dhabi, UAE in 2015. It is dedicated to addressing the hydrocarbon bearing carbonate reservoirs of the Middle East, in the context of a changing oil market within a more challenging exploration and development environment. These challenges include the shift from traditional anticlinal traps to stratigraphic traps, and development strategies for dealing with maturing, long-producing, giant fields.
The main objective of this field trip is to offer participants the opportunity to study the structural style and fracturing of carbonate rocks analogous to reservoir units of the globally important UAE Oil Province. The clear exposure of these carbonate rocks in this tectonically complicated area provides a significant opportunity to study and explain the structural style and deformation history of the region. Although the carbonate rocks exposed in Jebal Hafit area are of Early Eocene–Miocene age (Rus, Dammam and Asmari Formations), the emphasis here is to study fractures pattern and fracturing mechanism with relation to the paleostress and the link to fractures conductivity.
The selected stops will demonstrate the stratigraphic relationship of the rock units and their fracture systems that have been developed during long geological deformation. There are significant similarities between these exposed rocks and those units seen in the Abu Dhabi Oil Fields by means of reservoir characteristics and fracture system and fracture related diagenesis (cementation/host rock alteration) with its impact on sealing potential.
Jebal Hafit, an elongated asymmetrical, double‐plunging, NNW‐SSW trending anticline with an elevation reaches up to ~ 1140 m high, is situated at the border between Oman and UAE. It extends ca 30 km in the direction NNW–SSE with average width of 4 to 5 km.
The modern carbonate-evaporite depositional environments along the Abu Dhabi shoreline and offshore Abu Dhabi belong to the few areas of the world where the geoscientist can observe the interplay between carbonate and evaporite sedimentation.
Supratidal (sabkha) to intertidal and shallow subtidal (microbial mat and peloid-skeletal tidal-flat)
environments will be studied in the vicinity of Al-Qanatir Island.
In the vicinity of the road to Al-Qanatir Island participants will be able to study a complete and
undisturbed lateral facies succession from the upper supratidal to the lower intertidal and shallow
Many of these depositional environments and facies successions correspond to those observed in cores from the subsurface of the Arabian Peninsula.

In the past 15 years global methane hydrate research has moved from predicting general locations where deposits might occur to drilling and testing potentially commercial subsurface deposits offshore and in the Arctic. Now, the United States, Japan, South Korea and India are launching additional offshore drilling and production tests.
Why should care about methane hydrates? First, the world will continue to depend on fossil fuels well past 2040, and natural gas is the cleanest option. Second, some countries that have little indigenous energy have potentially large methane hydrate resources—Japan, South Korea and India for example. Therefore, methane hydrate production could change the dynamics of global energy trade. Finally, methane hydrates occur in low concentrations on the seafloor and in shallow subsea sediments around the world, including the arctic. Research is needed to understand the conditions under which these hydrates may dissociate and release methane.
This presentation will review the current research and field tests, and evaluate the potential for future natural gas production from hydrates.

The great closet purge of 2017 is currently upon me and my house. I will never be a true minimalist even though family definitely jokes about it, but clutter stresses me out a lot. I love getting rid of things.
I've known for a long time that I wanted to go through my closet and really only keep the things that were suited best for my personality and life. I thrift store shop a lot and I've been fortunate to be able to have a lot of pieces all the way from high school. However, I realize it is time to move past sentimentality and have a closet that represents the young creative professional I am in my late 20s (how in the world am I 28?!). The older I have become the more I have also cared about cohesion in my wardrobe as well; my logic is that the more cohesive my closet is then the more things I can mix and match together to have better use out of every item.
Like all things that I tend to do, I spent a few months researching everything out. Before I began purging my closet, I wanted to establish some basics:
- What colors look best on me
- Why exactly I love something
- What I need to get rid of
I love color analysis, but I realized that I actually had mine a little bit off. I thought I was a soft winter which probably was true when I had poor health and was more washed out for me. My hair and skin had even developed an ashy tone. I even wore a post about how to wear brights as a soft winter… ha. I didn't know I was sick, I just thought my coloring was changing due to me getting older. In this case, nope.
Now that my hair is coming back in again and my coloring is back to normal, I am clearly a tinted winter/ true winter/ cool winter. The difference between the two seasons is actually very subtle, but the big difference is: soft winters have a grayed color on the pure winter palette; the tinted winter palette has the pure winter palette colors, but with a white added to it.
Well, now that we've established this, these are the colors I'm mainly going to focus on in my closet below:
While these colors are great for me, yours will likely be different. A great resource I found on figuring our your best colors is this free e-book! There are tons of videos along with it and the writer does a great job breaking everything down super easily to help you figure everything out 🙂 .
I mentioned in this post a few months ago that these were the things I noticed I liked the most in my closet.
- Clothing items that are more classic
- Clothing items that are neutral
- Clothing items that had a classic pattern (polka dots, knit)
- Cardigans
- Classic cut items with small unique details
- Vintage accessories
Before I began investing in new items, I decided for my Christmas present to myself I would invest in a program called Dressing Your Truth (affiliate link). The whole premise of the program is to help you define your style by the energy of your personality. I've been kind of playfully researching this off and on for the last few years, but hadn't actually committed to anything until I bought the course.
Well, this program is pretty intense. Like, REALLY intense. I spent the first two months of this year watching about a hour+ of their videos everyday while I did things in the house. Dressing Your Truth (affiliate link) divides everyone into four different energy types of which you have a primary and secondary. Since I'm obsessed with personality tests and I love the idea of having a cohesive wardrobe, I was allllll over this.
In this system, I am a primary 1 and secondary 4; in other words, I can wear tinted colors with more fun styles and then more classic styles to represent my secondary. This is supposed to represent my fun-oriented, warm, and then also serious side of my personality. The program goes into what design lines, textures, fabric, etc. that you should wear to best represent yourself. I kind of raised my eyebrow at first, but once I started putting together outfits for a couple of months that I loved online for fun then I realized it matched up and it was all good.
Investing in this program helped me feel like I could move forward with picking items that would be cohesive in the future, helped me only keep what I loved and understand why, and frankly it was just fun!
I'm all about programs that help you learn to love and identify your traits more. The beginner's course is actually free from Dressing Your Truth here. Carol Tuttle, the author and creator of this program, also authors many books shooting off of her energy profiling system that you can find here.
This might make you laugh, but clothing items that I didn't think I would keep I put into a box a few months ago. I realized over those months that I never thought about them once! Obviously, this was a very confirming way for me to know that these items were not needed. "The box" is one tip I suggest if you are the sentimental type. However, the following are rules that I came up with to decide if I would get rid of additional items:
- Items that were worn out
- Items that became discolored beyond repair
- Items I have not worn in years
- Items that weren't a complimentary color
- Items that were too tight or too big
- Items that didn't reflect my personality
- Items that I just didn't love
I'll be completely honest, I've found my husband's opinion really helpful. Devin isn't attached to my clothes so if I found myself questioning, I would hold up my clothing and he would confirm what I was afraid to say. He helped me get rid of a lot of items and I've found through this whole Dressing Your Truth (affiliate link) process that Devin is actually more in tune if items are tints, hues, tones, or shades (I'll just be honest, he was good with the system in general because it gives you rules).
I also ended up making a replace pile for staples that we had that were just too worn out to go on, but also for them to serve as a visual reminder that these items have to be replaced. Items that I put in this category are mandatory items like:
- Underwear for both of us
- Tank tops in neutral colors for me (because leaning over students
- White button up dress shirts for Devin
- Jeans for Devin (he only has two pair and they both have holes)
If you're realizing that there are also other necessary items that have to be replaced, these items may include: a certain type of shoe, belts, clothing based on your location's climate, clothing based on a hobby, and etc. You'll know better than I do what is an absolute mandatory for you.
I'm now proud to say that I purged over 200 (yes, 200!!) items out of our closet together. My husband was a great sport letting me go through his closet as well. I feel a great sense of relief going into my closet and now only having items I absolutely love, fit, and look great on me. I have a lot of empty hangers now, but as I budget and plan for the future, I plan on buying higher quality items, replacing past items, and potentially creating a capsule wardrobe.

Anticum (Antikia) is a nation-state in the Aegean Islands, loosely allied with the Roman Republic. Legend has that it was founded in 444 B.C. by Artemis Vega. It quickly developed into a Roman-style republic with consuls. It developed a strong fleet, but was noted for its Legions of very skilled soldiers.
Antonius Vega was the Consul from 342-327 B.c. He ruled with an iron fist, and was murdered. He was succeeded by Philppus Starius, who was killed in 324 B,C.

The Vivisector 9000 was a machine weapon used by the broccoli leader to dissect intelligent lifeforms for study like a ray gun would shoot. Command Call: Vivisector 9000! Target the intelligent life, and fire at will!
Unfortunately, when the Vivisector 9000 scanned Orange, he was marked as "unintelligent" as he did his classic tongue flip sound while the machine was aiming at him. The leader was the first intelligent lifeform it saw when it turned, and therefore it fired at him, killing him instantly.

great place. great atmosphere. would recommend to any one for dinner. the selection for veg is good and the food is amazing. shame they don't open for lunch anymore
As always the food was incredible, not too pricy and cooked fresh to order. Service was good. Would highly recommend this restaurant, never had a bad meal here!
Great welcome really tasty food. Goat curry is a must.! Really relaxing enjoyable evening. Great surroundings. Parking a bit tricky but worth the effort of finding a place. Will go again.
I went there with my managers (5 people in total) from work as it is local to us. It was the first time we had been there and we had a very pleasant evening. The service was very good and we asked the waiter to provide a selection of starters we could all enjoy and they were all enjoyed. We then chose our mains and shared them to have a good overall taste of all the dishes, which were very good and we were all satisfied with the meal and service. We will certainly return and will recommend Lumbini to our colleagues.
This is a lovely restaurant. My partner and I went there for date night, the portions are huge we brought nearly half the food back in a doggy bag that the restaurant was kind enough to put together for us. The ambiance was nice and the food tasted great. The only thing that stops me giving full marks is that we tried to use the taste card deal we found online and it was not so easy. The deal reads 2-4-1 on all starters and mains. When it came to paying the bill we were told that we have to buy starters and mains. My partner and I both read the terms of the deal back to our waiter and he kindly gave us the money off but told us he was doing this out of kindness not because that is how the deal works. He went on to explain that they have been running the deal for years and it had always worked this way, didn't feel like the customers always right, attitude that he first gave when taking the money off our bill. That being mentioned I would visit again.
What a great restaurant! I don't normally bother with reviews, however Lumbini's food is consistently to die for. All dishes I have eaten here so far have been amazing and I come back whenever I can. The décor is tastefully done and the restaurant itself is kept to a high standard of cleanliness and the staff are truly welcoming and very funny!
Not enough experienced staff available to take orders [only one!!]. The manager does this himself, on a round-robin basis from table to table so this meant you could be waiting a while between courses! Having been there before and it not being this bad, I'd like to hope this was down to management wanting everything to be perfect due to it being Valentines day. [as it turned out this had a bit of a negative effect]. Overall experience was great though. Food was really nice and everyone was very polite and helpful (when they did eventually get to your table!).
The restaurant is run by lovely people and the food is always good. When is a big group we ask them to bring a selection of food and its a feast and each item is wonderful. I am always made to be very welcome and my names always remembered even if its 9 months between visits which is was until a month ago then I was reminded of the quality I have been 3 times since then.
Fantastic food, choice, service and atmosphere as usual. The food tastes as described, clearly they put a lot of work into tasting and testing their recipes at Lumbini! Thanks again for having us, we'll see you soon.
Great food and service. one of the best I have experienced in Uxbridge. I would recommend Lumbini for all my friends who wants some great curry in town.
We had a wonderful time at Lumbini, the staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the food, their recommendations were lovely. We will definitely be returning some time soon.
Gorgeous found with courteous efficient staff - we visited on a Friday night and there was hardly a table spare so clearly popular. Despite that the place didn't feel crowded and the service was great - as was the food .... We were a family of 4 and we'll definitely be back again!
Freindly helpful staff , good service, excellent food and supportive arrangemnets as eating with a 4 month old baby. always look forward to eating at Lumbini
I visited Lumbini with friends for a mid-week lunch. The food was delicious, promptly served with a great atmosphere and an authentic experience. Thoroughly enjoyed!
Overall a good night. Service was a bit slow maybe being down to it was very busy. The food was very good and there was plenty of it. Disappointing that we had 4 bottles of Prosecco and we were given 3 different types,1 which was a bottle you could buy in Aldi for apx £5 and we were charged £21.95 for it, a bit of a rip off.
Not one greatly to remember. was ok. Salad was different, but did not like the "black salt" aroma. Only dish enjoyed was starter of cauliflower as was different. even though i asked if the prawns were deveined, they said yes, but was not, so was disappointed. To much large cut peppers and onions and garlic in everything on top! Lamb was ok. Chicken not too great. Paneer was ok. Disappointed as no traditional nepalese desserts! Just the usual ice cream options. Not happy with seating
great food and staff very attentive and catered to our needs without being overbearing. Very knowledgeable about the menu and able to make recommendations and create a selection of foods to cater to all tastes within the group. Good prices highly recommend.
The food was lovely but the service wasn't very good. 1 starter didn't arrive until the main course was eaten and we waited ages for drinks. We didn't find the staff very friendly, there was no goodbye or a thank you when we left like in other restaurants we have been to even when they are busy.
Nice relaxed meal with lovely food and great service. We will be returning. They have a good selection of specials as well as all of the traditional dishes that you expect. Not expensive either. Great value for money.
The lumbini is a lovely restaurant with a big selection of food and lovely staff too. I keep going there as they are guaranteed to impress your guests. Everyone falls in love with the magic vegetables 😊
The food was excellent with a wide range of choice. It came piping hot and very good portion sizes. The service was also very good and was very attentive but not over bearing in any way
Fab restaurant fab service and always good food. The spicy goat is the best on the menu. I would highly recommend this wonderful place. Go for the evening and enjoy great Nepalese food.
The food was lovely. The service was amazing with the staff chatting to the children about Nepal and how they would like their food. We're all looking forward to our next visit. 😎
Lovely character restaurant with easy parking nearby. The food is gorgeous. There is a great choice including well known favourites, plus some dishes that are more unusual. The service is excellent.
Amazing service, food and atmosphere - cant wait to return Every dish we ordered were amazing and had a great smoked heat flavour. THe staff were wonderful, attentive and had character
This is West London, there are many more & far better Nepalese & Indian restaurants locally that I recommend people to try as opposed to this restaurant. We arrived on time for our booking & were made to wait 10 minutes for our table. When I prompted staff after 5 minutes that we had a booking, I received an abrupt reply 'I know'. They forgot one of our starters (& tried to charge us for it), the mains arrived over a period of 10 minutes & this was only for four people. The desserts menu never arrived although asked twice & the bill payment - after waiting 10 minutes we went & paid at the bar. The food was okay, nothing special & not worth the surprising positive reviews on trip advisor. The thing that I found most disrespectful was the treatment of a group of 6 who had spent the evening at the restaurant. When a group of 15 walked in from the pub, they hurried along their bill and started adding tables & chairs whilst they were still finishing their meal. Just absurd.
We were a party of 21 ladies, the food and service were excellent, we will go again. The set menu of starters and main courses was a good mixture of food, the vegetarians were well catered for.
Excellent food, fantastic service and a wonderful atmosphere. This is our 3rd year going back for New Years and I can't wait to pop back for a lovely curry soon!
Fantastic food with a wide selection of dishes, friendly and efficient service even with a packed restaurant. Reasonably priced. Definitely visiting again - the Goat was simply delicious :)
Great food, excellent taste. Loved the atmosphere the magic vegetables where the best vegetables I have tasted. Staff very friendly & helpful. We will be back very soon. 10/10
Excellent service and really delicious food - good ambience - we will definitely go back. Also very knowledgeable about the dishes and were able to make useful recommendations.
The food was very good and we had a lovely evening. Service was a little slow however it was a Tuesday evening and busier than they were expecting.
Lovely food and relaxing place, most staff are friendly one waiter was a bit grumpy but will go back and try a few more dishes overall a nice place to eat and chat!
Great food good service and a nice atmosphere. Highly recommended. Great selection of dishes and if its not on the menu they will make it for you.
Loved the atmosphere - food was really good and the staff were extremely helpful and polite. Will definitely go again. Don't need an occasion to go back!
Fab food & service as usual. Love lumbini's. Would recommend it to everyone. Hidden gem Thank you guys Glad to here your opening on Sundays now Donna
My husband & I ove this restaurant as great food & friendly staff, the special coated cauliflower dish is a must. One of our favourite Indian restaurants.
Lovely meal with good recommendations from the wonderful staff who looked after us. Very good value for the money. We will be returning soon, a great evening
Food was good, good ambience, nice staff. Suggestion was good. I feel like going to have a get together there soon with my friend in london. Cheers..
Delicious food. Attentive staff. Great atmosphere. Only downside was long delay in being served. It was an exceptionally busy night so we understood why and will book an earlier time in future.
Amazing food and the staff were very helpful and knew how to treat people. Great ambiance. Many people that are regulars which is a good thing.
The food was excellent, as usual. However, this time the experience was let down by bad service, we waited over an hour for our food, which was much too long. We will be back as the food is good.
Lovely place with a wide selection of great food & very friendly service, love it there. Well worth a try as you will not be dissapoi
Great food with a huge variety of vegetarian options. Very good value for money and excellent service. Go off menu and ask for the magic vegetables.
Food was excellent. Service was brilliant with the exception of one waiter who was rushing us to order. We informed the manager who apologised on his behalf. Lovely decor and ambience
Nice surroundings - pleasant staff , nice house white wine , keema naan is the best . Unusual menu with not a lot of familiar dishes. No Madras, Vindaloo etc.
Great food. Very authentic compared to other Indian restaurants I have been and reasonably priced. Lovely with a relaxed atmosphere. Would highly recommend this restaurant.
Atmosphere was very nice and friendly. Service was prompt without being over pushy. Food was freshly cooked and very well presented. Would highly recommended it
Great meal as always, friendly staff & a warm welcome. Would highly recommend this restaurant as very high standard of food with a great choice.

The United States Justice Department has announced that a federal court has permanently barred the operation of an alleged scheme that helps high-income individuals attempt to avoid income taxes by funnelling money through "welfare benefit plans".
The US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois has entered permanent injunction orders, to which the defendants consented, against a husband and wife, Tracy and Linda Sunderlage, and four companies, one of which, SRG International Ltd, is registered in Nevis, West Indies.
According to the Justice Department's complaint, the defendants claimed to operate plans that provide benefits, such as life and health insurance, to participating companies' employees, when in fact the scheme is simply a mechanism for the companies' owners to receive purportedly tax-free or tax-deferred income for their personal use.
The defendants allegedly marketed the scheme to high-income professionals who own small, closely held companies. In the most recent version of the alleged scheme, each participant's company made supposedly tax deductible payments to a purported benefit plan, that were then allegedly transferred to an account within a company based in Anguilla, in which they were allegedly invested until the owner exited from the programme and received the assets for his or her personal use.
The complaint alleged that many participants owned these accounts through offshore trusts, which Tracy Sunderlage and SRG International Ltd often helped to establish.
The complaint also alleged that participants from across the country have transferred at least USD239m as part of the scheme, but that total contributions may exceed USD300m.
The injunction orders bar the defendants from operating or promoting any purported "welfare benefit plans". The court also ordered the defendants to provide the government with a list of their customers and to send copies of the injunction orders to their customers.

CANNES, France (Reuters) - Clint Eastwood does not rule out making another Western, he said on Saturday as he presented a 25th anniversary restored copy of "Unforgiven" at the Cannes Film Festival.
"When I read the ("Unforgiven") script 25 years ago, I always thought that this would be a good last Western for me to do," said the 86-year-old actor-director.
"And it was the last Western, because I have never read one that worked as well as this one since that.
"But who knows, maybe something will come up in the future," said Eastwood, who made his name in the TV series "Rawhide" and the so-called spaghetti Westerns of the 1960s, now considered classics.
"Unforgiven" won four Oscars including Best Picture and Best Director for Eastwood who also starred.
