We are Loving our Pantone: Colors book from @AbramsAppleseed

When you are teaching your children colors, do you sit there and work with all the different hues?
Or do you just work with the primary colors?
I know with Broxton, we started with the basics, red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.
Once he knew those, we started pointing out different shades of the colors.  
See that orange car?  But then, he would argue that was not orange, as it wasn't the color he had learned!
We tried to explain that there was more than one shade of a color, no matter if we were looking in books, riding down the street or coloring on the porch.

Recently, I was sent a book that I knew was going to be great to work with Broxton!
It is the Pantone : Colors from Abrams Appleseed!
Now, let me tell you about this...
I actually added it to the gift bag for Broxton's birthday this past weekend.
Well, as soon as he opened it, his friend Garret grabbed it and started to have "school" going through all the colors!  I thought it was cute and that it was a hit...
UNTIL Garrets daddy saw it.    You see, Mark (with a K, not daddy Marc)  works for a sports logo company.  He saw it and was immediately hooked into it.  No, he did not take the book away from the kids, but as soon as it was placed down... He snatched it up and started exploring.  He thought it was the neatest book and wanted to know where to order one... 
If you are wondering, just click on the PANTONE : COLORS link to order yours... 
This book covers 9 colors... and each color has 20 shades.  
Yes, we know that is just a VERY small number compared to the Pantone scale, but this is a board book geared to the 0-5 age group.  Let's don't over load them... Yet!  

I really love how the book has a monochromatic color on one side... then the page opposite the picture has the other shades of that color.  It also has the Pantone numbers and the color name in the box with it.  This book has been spotted in the hands of Broxton daily!!!
I highly recommend it for all houses.. I mean, who doesn't love colors?!

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c

Momma Must Have - Exergen Temporal Thermometer- Review and Giveaway

Image
As we all know, it can sometimes be a bit difficult to take the temperature of a sick child. Hey, some adults are known to be big babies... The longer they have to wait, the fussier they become. Well, with the Exergen Temporal Scanner ... Wait is something that can be eliminated! Why do I say that? Just because the wait is merely 2 seconds! During that time, you will already be finished a gift giveaway blog hop, exergen temporal scanner, mom must have, R nd moving on to something else. I really like the ease of the Exergen Thermometer. It has a soft tip on it that you gently swipe across the forehead of your "patient." There are two things that make this stand out compared to others that I have used. One - If you are sweating, you can place it behind your ear to get your temperature. Two - There is a light on both sides to show you that it is on. I like that, as I sometimes worry if it is on or not... You know how I can be! First, remove the protective cap... Turn it on...
