TenMarks Math Program

If you’ve kept up with my blog during the school year, you know that math is one of Jacob’s biggest struggles in school.  He does ok, but sometimes it takes a lot of practice and time for him to really grasp a concept.

TenMarks is a program that’s geared for parents and students like us.  They’re [...]

Monkey Monkey Music Review/Giveaway

We love being introduced to new kids’ music, and before now I had never heard of Monkey Monkey Music, featuring Meredith LeVande.  We received her CD, What Are the Odds?, which is a collection of songs for young children.  My kids like to have a variety of CDs to listen to in the car, and [...]

Piggy Paint Review/Giveaway

What little girl doesn’t like to paint her nails?  If I had a little girl, we’d probably be painting nails quite often, but seeing as I have only boys, I kinda had to try this product on my own.  However, it’s made me want to invest in Piggy Paint even just for myself.Piggy Paint was [...]

Kids Crooked House Removable Wall Stickers

Decorating our home is something that I love to do, especially when it comes to sprucing up our kids’ room.  Lately, I’ve been really considering redecorating their bathroom, maybe giving it a quick paint job and just giving them a different look, considering my kids are boys, and they’re really just not appreciating the hearts [...]

Travel Buddies Review/Giveaway

Jaden occasionally falls asleep in the car, and when he does, his poor little head rolls back and forth or ends up in some awkward position, and I feel so sorry for his poor little neck.  With vacation coming soon, I’m so excited to review Travel Buddies from Noodle Head Fun.

Travel Buddies are a child’s [...]

The Best of the Laurie Berkner Band

Ever since Jacob was just a toddler, we’ve come to really love the Laurie Berkner Band.  We were first introduced to Laurie on television, as she sang so many songs in between some of Jacob’s favorite shows.  Even as adults, Dan and I really liked the music because it wasn’t all “kiddified,” meaning it’s the [...]

Rock & Roll Playground

Dan and I both love rock & roll music, and by that, I mean that we love real rock & roll.:)  The old style of music is definitely different than the genres we hear today, and although we enjoy some of the music of today, we also would love for our kids to be exposed [...]

Mickey 5-in-1 Tasty Baker

My kids love waffles and pancakes for breakfast; they’re always excited when we announce, as they’re pulling out their cereal bowls, that we’re making pancakes that morning.  Immense excitement and shouting ensues.

Pop Art Toaster has made pancake/waffle mornings just a bit more fun, with a hint of Disney magic included.  They sent us their Mickey [...]

Kids Konserve Snak Pak

Did you know that every year the average child’s lunch generates 67 pounds of trash? I mean, if you think about it, we have juice boxes, sandwich bags, snack bags, paper towels or napkins, etc. That’s a lot of waste going right into our already overflowing landfills.

Kids Konserve is a company started by [...]

Jelly Flyer Review/Giveaway

Summertime is a time for playing outside, eating watermelon, going swimming, and of course, playing with Jelly Flyers!  My boys would definitely agree.

Mayfair Lane Happeez Clippers & Whiteboard

Sometimes, for me, staying organized can be quite the task.  With all of the messages and packages that I get every single day, my desk can grow into a jungle.  The front of our refrigerator can be the same way, what with pictures, important messages or numbers, etc.  I think you can tell a lot [...]

Monopoly 75th Anniversary Giveaway

Monopoly is one game that can go on and on in our house. My husband loves to play this game, probably because he always wins, and he has no shame in flaunting his wealth in the game either.:) I, personally, don’t like to play Monopoly with him. LOL Even though I [...]
