Educational Insights Grandma's Trunk & Play Foam Review & Giveaway

Nothing makes my son smile more than playing games. He also does not like to lose but, has accepted it with games. The things I like about the Educational Insights Grandma's Trunk Alphabet Game is you don't have to lose. It's not a traditional game and you can get as creative as possible and many people or few people can play. Beautiful colored cards, fun learning and riddles is packed in to Grandma's Trunk.


 All though I did not have enough children around to test all the games on the instructions, we played several different versions. I first read the clue cards and my son guess the item I was talking about. Later he did the same, except he can't read so he made up his own clues. This help advance his critical thinking, descriptive details that they will be looking for on his Kindergarten test. While he already knows his ABC's, practicing them can not hurt so I had him to put the cards in order from A to Z, then had him tell me another item each letter begins with, instead of the picture on the card.

One of the next games we played was I had him only pack food cards for grandma, them clothing, then house items, etc. That helped him recognize items for specific uses. When we did the story of what grandma packed with the cards "shuffled & mixed", he had to tell the story from the cards drawn. No matter how mixed up, he had to think of how to incorporate that item in to his story. Yes the story did get a little crazy but, his creativity came alive and he told a story. This was his favorite game so far.


Not only did we get to play around with the grandma trunk game. We got to get creative with some play foam. It is not as messy as it sounds and it's not that sticky. It's kind of like making rice crispy treats without the "sticky sticky." Very easy to clean up. Some had glitter in it. My son mixed it and said he was making a pizza.

Rules: Win Education Insights Grandma's Trunk Alphabet Game & Play Foam, US entry, 48 hr. Disclosure: Samples was sent for my honest review as a Education Insights Mom. All opinions are my own.

Spring Fever $10.00 Walmart Gift Card Giveaway

Are you feeling a little Spring Fever coming on? Well how about a little $$ to get your project going?

Rothschild Jacket Giveaway & Review

 Going to school early in the morning my son replies I can't take this cold freezing weather. When he said that, we wasn't even getting a hard frost on the ground. I told him it is only going to get colder. I thought about the hooded insulated jackets I'd seen from Rothschild and thought that might help.

The Rothschild Captain of the Team Active Jacket arrived. Immediately the zipper attached/un-attachable hood with mix of poly fleece and nylon lining stood out, I can make him cover his ears with extra velcro close. Since school started he's had recurrent ear infections. Zipper up jacket and button close with nylon lining helps make it wind resistant and light weight. Light weight is important for 4 yrs or they feel confined and my son does not like feel hindered.

We review the Navy Rothschild Captain of the Team Active Jacket and it has print & patch on the arms. One front top zipper pocket and two large pockets at the bottom. It also has one hidden pocket inside and this jacket is machine washable. Just a note that the black Captain of the Team Jacket has a few different features than the Navy if you choose that color style.

Additional Information

• Zip front and snap button placket closure
• Poly fleece lining inside at back
• Super woven nylon lining
• Wind resistant
• Breathable
• Rib knit cuffs and collar
• Insulated for maximum warmth with minimal weight
• 100% polyester

Now my son is warm and cozy thanks to Rothschild and thanks to Rothschild one lucky winner will win jacket of choice. Make sure you stop by and give Rothschild a follow on Facebook.

Learning Resources Magnetic Numbers Review & Giveaway

Doubled sided magnetic numbers makes learning fun and entertaining. Children love playing with magnets and sneaking education in is an excellent idea. My son loves to count so I thought the Learning Resources Magnetic Numbers would be the perfect educational gift. We've been practicing with our set right on the refrigerator door; however, they are used on whiteboards also. It' more convenient for us to practice while cooking dinner. I like that they are study and thick, not easy to bend.

Learning Resources Magnetic Numbers are picture front countable items and the number in form on the reverse side. Learning Resources set is 26 piece set includes numbers 0-20 and 5 operation pieces to preform adding, subtraction, and practice greater than or less than. Great for Prek and up.

For a fun educational gift Learning Resources Magnet Number are perfect and one of my readers will win the same doubled sided magnetic numbers set. Also Follow Learning Resources on facebook.

EdenFantasys $50 "HolidayGIVEAWAY"

Adult Content Post:

A few months ago I experienced shopping with EdenFantasys and can confirm that when your package arrives no one will know what is inside your box. That is probably one of the reasons I'd never ordered before. I didn't want my mail person or anyone else to see addresses and pictures on the box.

Ordering online from EdenFantasys is so much better than in store shopping too. I personally feel very Self-consciousness just shopping for bras and panties. Shopping in the privacy of your home and even getting your husband in on the shopping action can be fun. I know my husband would never go into the lingerie department at a store due to other people there.

The holiday season is approaching and it's the time for ladies to get their Christmas Stockings on. Not just the boring everyday stocking but, the naughty nice candy cane kind. Don't forget to grab those Santa Hats because they really complete the look.


Thanks to EdenFantasys one of my readers will win a $50.00 Gift Card!!
