The Olympics are here! I'll be honest, I've never spent much time watching the Olympics, but introducing it to my kids has been so much fun. There are many summer sports my kids can relate to. My two oldest are taking Judo and swimming lessons now, and they play tennis and golf. My seven year old has also done t-ball and soccer. I thought with today being opening ceremonies, it would be the perfect day to get a summer craft in.
This craft is so simple, and you probably don't even have to buy a thing if you keep basic art supplies on hand. If not, I highly recommend these items as they can be used for so many projects. And anything will all three of my boys little hands will remain a treasure keepsake.
For a snack to eat while watching the Olympics, here is recipe for an American Flag Snack Mix!

We've tackled the vintage watch world, the modern watch world, link accessories, the printed and spoken word. We've rethought how communities should be able to give feedback to watchmakers directly (We have link 100,000+ active commenters on the HODINKEE site, plus several million more readers and members across all channels), and we've even revamped watch link insurance completely with HODINKEE Insurance. We do this always with our watch lovers caps on.
As link such, the Fiftysix Self-Winding is a 40mm steel watch offering time, date, and central seconds over either a silver or a blue dial. Both dial options can be had on a matched leather strap or the blue version can be had on a link multi-link link steel bracelet for an extra $1,200 ($13,500 total).

The minute repeater's link regulator, hammers, and gongs are visible through the display back (along with the underside of the tourbillon carriage) and link the regulator, which controls the tempo of the chimes, is Vacheron's centripetal design, which is virtually silent in operation (as opposed to the traditional anchor regulator for the chimes, which emits an link audible buzz).
I timed myself walking from the starting block to about link 30 feet from the starting block. I timed myself wandering around the stands. I timed how long I could hold my breath under the Oregonian sun (one minute, link precisely). And I timed how long I could speed walk from the starting block to about 30 feet from the starting block. link Riveting stuff, which is all to say that I found the user experience easy and accurate on the SRQ041.
