Hope At Sea - #RaisingAReader #ChristmasCountdown #AD

Oh my goodness, can you guys believe it is already November?  I mean... wow... time sure is flying, at least on my end of things!  You know how much we love reading around her...   and I love the idea of a Christmas countdown using books.  I have done it in the past and it is a fun thing for us to do.
The thing is, you don't have to do new books.  You can get some new ones and mix in old ones.  Some people choose to do Holiday themed books, while others are a variety.  We have done both.  You can even mix in coloring books in there if you want.  I have seen some people number them how they want them opened and others just grab whichever book you want to use!

I said all of that to say this... 

We just enjoyed Hope At Sea An Adventure Story by Daniel Miyares.  
This book tells the story of Hope, a little girl that didn't want to hear about her dad's adventures... she wanted to live the adventure with him!!!  Yep, you guessed it.  She snuck onto the ship to go on her dads next journey!  This book shows the love of a dad and child while sharing the adventure they go on. We loved it and Savannah and I read it together.  
This might make it into our book countdown, or maybe we will share it with our local little free library, just not sure yet!  Either way, it is a delight to read!

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...

Hurry Up! Review & Giveaway

Image
The Holidays are getting closer and closer! Some may want the days leading up to them to "Hurry Up!" So, with that in mind... I want to kick things off with a pretty cool giveaway!!!!!!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game is kicking things off for us... Check back daily to see what is in store!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game, by Random Line is a hit around here already! True enough, Marc and I did not follow the directions, exactly as we were supposed to, but that was because I did not read them all the way! In our defense, we just wanted to see how much fun it would be to prepare for when the boys are here again! (Note, it will be a big hit! I can see it already!!) This game is super fun and as the name says... Hurry Up!!!! You have 6 die and 6 challenges... One dice is blue... and that adds for lots of fun!!! You only have 30 seconds to complete the challenge... and you might think that 30 seconds is a long time, but in actuality, it is NOT as long as you need it for some challenge!!!!...
