Help put LeapFrog Tag Readers in a Classroom and a Tag Reader Giveaway!! ENDED

Earlier this year Leap Frog donated 1.5 million dollars to give Tag Readers and books to the classrooms of 10,000 Kindergarten students nationwide.  And after using them for a few months, it turned out to be a success and here is what the teachers had to say: 99% of them said they’d recommend Tag systems to other teachers and to parents, because it makes a real difference. 96% said their students’ attitudes about reading improved 95% said their students wanted to spend more time reading 97% said their students’ reading skills improved ...... so they are now trying to get the Tag Reading Systems to more classrooms. Because teachers have made it clear that Tag helps them and their students,...

Bright Beginnings Baby Formula Review

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of PBM Products. All opinions are 100% mine.   It's amazing how expensive it is to have a child.    Unfortunately when I had both my girls, I was unable to nurse for very long so we had to turn to formula.  What we spent on feeding them and diapering them was amazing!   It was one reason I began shopping with coupons!  At first we only purchased the name brand formulas but then as we added up the cost we decided to try some store brands.  Neither of our girls had any problems so we stuck with them. One formula we used was Parent's Choice.  It was about half the price of the name brand formula so we were excited to save the money and...

Australia Gift Shop: Cute Kangaroo Slippers

I found a website while searching for something called the Australia Gift Shop where you can buy Australian souvenirs.   There are some really cute things there (and some weird stuff like placenta cream that is supposed to help with anti-aging! I wonder if it works??). I came across these absolutely adorable Kangaroo Baby Booties.  Aren't they adorable?  They are under $9.00 which I think is a great price but the shipping is almost $10.00.  Before I  would purchase them I'd try to find something else to justify the cost of shipping.   However $19.00 for a cute pair of Kangaroo Baby Booties isn't that bad. Then I saw this cute Koala Bear that is under $4.00.  When I added that to my cart ...

Smucker’s Uncrustables Review

Product Name: Smucker's Uncrustables I have a funny story about Smucker's Uncrustables I want to share with  you.  My father is not a "convenience food" eater.  In other words he won't run into a store and buy something pre-made unless it's fresh.  And my mother cooks most stuff from scratch.   We were (unfortunately) at a funeral for a family member last summer and my father stayed the entire time with the rest of us.  My mother packed a cooler so they'd have something to eat while there.   In the  meantime one of my younger cousins had some food she needed to keep cool so she put it in my mother's cooler.  One of those things just happened to be Smucker's Peanut Butter and Grape Jelly...
