Jingit and Box Tops 4 Education #Jingit4Edu

I think everyone knows that I love Box Tops 4 Education. I have half my family collecting for Little M. His schools always do contests between the classrooms and I want him to always win.  Every little bit counts for the schools especially now that money is so short. That is why it is so awesome to be able to collect more Box Tops for my son's school by using Jingit! Jingit is super easy to use. It is a free mobile app that you can make money from. They will also donate extra box tops to your choice of school. You can download the app on your phone or  you can download the app online . You can even use Jingit if you don't have a … [Read more...]

Saying Thank You and Donating with Elmer’s #BagitForward

School is back in session for public schools here in Alabama and it has been crazy in the stores! My mother and I usually start the school supply shopping as soon as the sales start and we continue all summer. I know that sounds crazy but we usually get everything we need for our own kids for less than $10 to $20 including bookbags so why keep going? We have a huge stockpile of school supplies that we give to members of our family and we donate to our community at the end of the summer and we start again the next year. This year I am super excited to be a part of Elmer's #BagitForward campaign to either say Thank you to a great teacher or … [Read more...]

Rock ‘N Learn Sight Words 2 Review

You might remember that I have done a couple of reviews for Rock 'N Learn. That is because they are awesome and they have products like Multiplication Rap which I reviewed and I also reviewed the Letter Sounds DVD. Both DVDs were loved by both of my children and they still use them and dance to them months later.  So when I got the chance to review Sight Words 2, I was happy to get it for my boys. Rock 'N Learn is an amazing company which makes learning fun. They have so many different interactive products that help kids to learn. They believe that music helps children learn better so all of their products are colorful and full of fun … [Read more...]

Moody Bands Review

When I heard about Moody Bands, I knew that Little M would love something like that. He is so 'cool' so he would think they were the best thing ever. The makers of Moody Bands want to teach children to identify with their emotions as well as the emotions of others. I know that Little M already knows what his emotions are since he is 10 but I think its cool to wear your emotions on your sleeve.  Little M said that he would wear the Excited and Nervous ones on the first day of school. Another reason I wanted to get the Moody Bands is for Baby E.  It's a great, interactive way for him to learn what the different emotions are. I think … [Read more...]

College Guidance Guru Sponsor Spotlight -Back to School Blast

  Going to college can be a very stressful time for any child but its also hard on the parents. I remember being more scared my first day of college than any other time in my life.  It was like a whole new world.  My mom fussed over me like crazy but she worked there so I went and saw her like 5 times my first day of classes. My dad also worked at the college so it wasn't as bad for me as it could have been. I can't imagine what it would be like for those kids who have to go away for school.  I will cry when my boys go.    That is why there are great people like Lauren Salamone out there. Lauren Salamone is an award-winning … [Read more...]

System Mechanic Review #BtSBlast

In case you might have noticed, I run a blog which means that I am on the computer ALOT! I love my computer. Like a deep beautiful affair kind of love and I would be devastated if something happened to it. I need it to run smoothly and efficiently so that I can work and play on Facebook while pretending to work.  I sometimes will have 10 pages running while typing away and uploading pictures.  We pay for the fastest internet and we also update our graphic card, motherboard, processor, and whatever else makes the computer run fast enough for games every year.  Can you tell that its my husband that does it, not me?  So I cant stand when the … [Read more...]
