Cord organizer: Review and Giveaway iStopDrop.com (2 Winners)
Posted on May 3, 2012 | 4 CommentsTime savers are extremely important to me because being organized is essential to time management. David Norris is credited with saying, “How you spend your time is more important than how you spend your money. Money mistakes can be corrected, but time is gone forever.” Ironically, iStopDrop.com‘s cord organizer is both a money saving and time management tool. Unfortunately, before I was sent this product, I would easily waste 3 or 5 minutes a day (sometimes longer) looking for my charging cables or cord connectors for my kid’s Innotab or for our camera. Seriously, I have not been this pleased... -

Posted on February 14, 2012 | 8 CommentsDid you know that 1 out of every 10 Americans is Lactose intolerant? Lactose intolerant is not an allergy to milk; instead, it results from the body not being able to produce enough lactase (“an enzyme that breaks lactose down into simpler sugars called glucose and galactose” Source), which helps sustain your bodies energy.

Posted on January 9, 2012 | 2 CommentsIf you want to get your pre-teens and teens reading, then hand them a copy of “Taken.” This book is brought to you by FOCUS ON THE FAMILY and P & R Publishing. The book is a fast paced adventure story. “Taken” was like a movie of word pictures floating through my mind that I thoroughly enjoyed viewing. I was totally captivated and immersed in the story, so much so, that I was disappointed when the book came to an end. As a kid, I enjoyed reading science fiction, but really didn’t read it often. This book was wholesome, creative,... -
Review and Giveaway: Imagination Station Presents: Showdown with the Shepard and Problems at Plymouth
Posted on November 8, 2011 | 10 CommentsIf your children ages 7 and on are not following the Imagination Station Books, they are definitely missing out on a real treat.

Posted on October 3, 2011 | 14 CommentsOctober is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so I thought I would reflect on what I think of when I hear “breast cancer.” Immediately, the word survivor comes to mind.

Review and Giveaway: Child Up Early Mathematics – CLOSED Learning
Posted on September 5, 2011 | 5 CommentsMy Experience Child Up learning logic math cards are a wonderful resource that is great for parents to use to teach their children mathematics. When we started using the math and logic cards my 2 year old kids could already count to 20, and recognize numbers from 1-10, but they did not understand how to count objects or add and subtract. The cards are for boys & girls – from 1 to 5 years old. The cards teach children to identify their numbers and learn basic arithmetic and understand the concept of zero. On the back of the zero cards... -

They also teach that listening to positive thinking and having positive influences will help your life become better. Lately mainstream media has given a lot of attention to young girls and their outward appearance; for instance, models posing provocative at the age of ten, toddlers in tiaras, and the mom “pretending” to give her daughter botox.... -
