All-Natural Every Day Products (Part 4)
Danika Dallam demonstrates ways that their family makes everyday products using ingredients found at most local grocery stores. These are products most of us use regularly, and this is a more organic and all-natural approach to work towards a chemical-free lifestyle. In Part 4, Danika covers making all-natural baby powder and all-natural shaving cream. (Please note that while all-natural cornmeal is made from all-natural corn, and all-natural coconut oil is made from all-natural coconuts, this is all-natural baby powder.)

Who Kidnapped Sheb Woolly? by Deb Tanguy Herlocker and Jack Herlocker; illustrated by Valerie Bouthyette; read by Deb Herlocker
One of Caitlyn's best friends is Sheb, a woolly caterpillar. Sheb can hardly wait to turn into a butterfly so he can fly everywhere and see the world. But the day before Sheb is supposed to become a butterfly, he disappears! Has he been kidnapped? Who could have done it? Can Sheb be rescued? Caitlyn will have to call on her old friends (and some new ones) to rescue Sheb — but she might discover there is more to the story than she knows! Who Kidnapped Sheb Woolly? is a story of mystery and discovery, fear and triumph, a story to share with young (and not-so-young) friends of your own.

Miss Tessie Tate by Jean Horton Berg; illustrated by Lee deGroot; read by Deb Herlocker
“When I was a little girl, I was delighted by the story of Miss Tessie Tate. The idea of a little old lady skating around town, bending people’s noses out of joint, and then finally winning on her own terms — I just loved it! Now that I am a ‘little old lady’ myself 😉, I don’t own any roller skates, but I have my own ways of keeping people off balance. I hope Miss Tessie Tate brings delight to new young listeners.” — Deb Herlocker (5 min 59 sec)

Music, Love, and My Piano
"Music has always been a great way to take a break from the real world and all of the stress around me. It has the capacity to connect people regardless of how far apart they may be. Especially in times like these, I think we all could use a little of, well, all of the above. I hope you enjoy my slightly out-of-tune piano and I wish everyone health, safety, and, most importantly, love." ❤️ Jackson Kollasch (8 min 16 sec)
