 In keeping with our SUMMER READING, I have a few new books to share with you today!
I have to admit that I love the books that are silly, so when I saw one was called There Was an Old Dragon Who Swallowed a Knight, I knew I was going to be giggling.   Also, when I saw that one was Playful Pigs from A to Z, I knew it was going to be a great new addition to Savannah's library!  
There Was an Old Dragon Who Swallowed a Knight 
You might have read of the Old Lady swallowing things, but until you read about the Dragon swallowing all of the things after the knight, you have no clue what to expect!  This book was super cute and full of illustrations!   The Dragon decides to swallow the Knight (that's not polite) and then seems to swallow everything he sees.  Broxton and I were both laughing, especially when we saw he was about to go after the castle!  He for sure was leaving NOTHING left in the Kingdom!   

We enjoyed the book, but the last illustration left Broxton questioning why.  
(They had a skeleton head in the Dragon's stomach that wasn't there throughout the story, so he wanted to know where it came from and why it was not mentioned!)  Cute book and one we will for sure be reading again and again!  

Playful Pigs from A to Z
This book lets us follow a group of 26 pigs as they leave their pig pen and head out for fun in the field down the lane.  I loved that they had a classic illustration look to them and each pigs name started with the letter discussed on the page.  I was hoping that they would not just paint a letter on the pig and introduce the alphabet that way and they did not disappoint!  I also liked that they had descriptive words that went with the letter as well.  I saw it as a way to add a bit of extra education in for fun!  

Examples - 
Billy Pig balanced on B.

Ned Pig nibbled an N.

We enjoyed both books and are so glad to be adding them to our library!
What books are you reading this summer?

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... ...
