That kind of matches the theme, too and gives a few more options - like coconut trail mix, coconut cupcakes, coconut shrimp... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/letter-shaped-foods#post-2344678 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 18:49:47 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 2344678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ikea has alphabet cookies too!

We did Boom Chicka Pop and letter cookies to match the theme. If I'd had more time I would have cut out fruit and cheese with cookie cutters, but I ran out of patience for it, haha. We did a lot of decorating with alphabet magnets, which was cute. I'll dig up some pics!</p> <p>[attach=141/15/nxb4c8.600x380.image.jpeg]</p> <p>[attach=141/15/nxb4c9.600x361.image.jpeg] </p> [attach=141/15/nxb4cx.443x600.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/letter-shaped-foods#post-2344506 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 15:12:18 +0000 Greentea 2344506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cheert16: these orange chocolate cookies are alphabet!

Maybe some local Canadian celebs? I immediately think of Canadian authors like Margaret Atwood...Might be a shot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/celebrity-advice#post-27752 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 08:33:29 +0000 Mrsbells 27752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Personally there arent many celebs that I would care to take advice from, so this would not be for me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/celebrity-advice#post-27741 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 08:08:53 +0000 Andrea 27741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would think that even if you got a reply, most celebrities don't answer their own letters/email right? I think they have staff that do it for them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/celebrity-advice#post-27682 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 23:03:43 +0000 Mrs. D 27682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitively won't be asking for life advice for my kids from Kardashians or Hilton's. I was thinking more along the lines of well respected Celebrities, ones we respect. If we got back any letters with advice that was contrary to our values, I wouldn't include them in the album.</p> <p>I'm thinking Bill Cosby would be a good one. If Mr. Dress-up was still alive, he'd be getting a letter from me!</p> <p>My husband would want advice from William Shatner, Shania Twain and Jim Parsons.</p> <p>Oprah maybe?</p> <p>I'm not sure when and if I'll start this project though. I have a lot to figure out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/celebrity-advice#post-27665 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 22:47:53 +0000 mrsjyw 27665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 6th grade language arts teacher had us write to celebrities, sports players, and politicians. I don't think the point was to ask for anything in return, but many of us got the standard signed photo and fan letter. One of our classmates got tickets to the Detroit Pistons game and was featured on the local news. </p> <p>I never thought about people writing to celebrities in this day and age. Maybe I'll "Tweet" them for advice? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/celebrity-advice#post-27015 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 14:23:15 +0000 Rosie Girl 27015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never heard this. I wonder if they actually write back, or if its one of their assistants.... It would be a cool blog to follow though :)</p> <p>Also, maybe I am just naive, but don't most celebrities have nannies? I feel like most of them don't even raise their own kids, but have other people do it for them since they are always so busy and doing stuff. *THIS IS NOT A BASH ON PEOPLE THAT HAVE NANNIES!!!!!* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/celebrity-advice#post-26941 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 12:14:57 +0000 eeh 26941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure I would want my kids taking life advice from many celebrities and I don't want to create a celebrity obsession in them either. I would have to really do some research on the person to make sure they have similar values to ours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/celebrity-advice#post-26847 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 08:39:33 +0000 mediagirl 26847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What celebrities are you talking about? Hopefully not reality stars. I have never heard of this before and because I'm pretty jaded by our "celebrities" these days, I wouldn't have my child do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/celebrity-advice#post-26844 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 08:37:11 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 26844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>surprised to know if they would even write back. I agree good celebrities not the trashy ones ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/celebrity-advice#post-26842 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 08:34:22 +0000 tequiero21 26842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think it would depend. if it was to a well-respected celebrity, i would be interested. but definitely not the partiers - like paris hilton, kim kardashian, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/celebrity-advice#post-26764 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 00:24:05 +0000 Mrs. D 26764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yeah, some did. the teacher framed or laminated the celebrity advice and hung it up around the classroom so that her students in every class could see the great advice they received. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/celebrity-advice#post-26759 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 00:20:17 +0000 AmeliaBedelia 26759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never heard of this idea before - it sounds interesting. Do they write back?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/celebrity-advice#post-26757 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 00:13:37 +0000 Mrs. D 26757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember when I was in teachers college, hearing about a teacher who had her (his?) class write letters to celebrities asking for advice about life. I always liked this idea, but since I chose elementary school, I knew it wasn't something I'd do.</p> <p>But now that I'm expecting, I wonder if I might use this for our baby, and every year write a few current big names, and some of our favourites, for advice about growing up, etc. </p> <p>What do you think?</p> <p>I think if I DO do this, I'll blog about it, sharing the letters with other parents and kids. </p> <p>Would you be interested? </p>
