Time4Learning Review Disclosure

I have been homeschooling for almost 5 years now. This year I wanted to add a new dimension to our eclectic curriculum and I came across Time 4 Learning. I recently emailed T4L and asked them if we could review their product, and they said yes but wanted us to disclose beforehand that we are getting one month free in exchange for our honest review. Specifically, Time4Learning asked me to provide the following information:

I’ve been invited to try Time4Learning for one month in exchange for a candid review. Time4Learning can be used for homeschool, afterschool and summer skill sharpening. Be sure to come back and read about my experience.

ProFlowers Pretty In Pink Bulb Garden Review + Win Flowers For Your Mom!

Mother’s Day is coming up which means husbands and kids will be looking everywhere for that perfect gift to celebrate Mom. And at the end of the day, most Moms will get some kind of flowers. Others lucky enough will be adorned with homemade cards and breakfast in bed. While I think flowers are gorgeous I just don’t think they are practical as gifts because they die so quickly. Maybe I’m the only one(well, that’s obvious) but I’m not big on flowers for gifts. However, plants as gifts are a totally different thing. Recently ProFlowers asked us to review an item from their online shop and sticking with my true self I skipped over all of the gorgeous flower bouquets and went straight to the plants specifically the Pretty In Pink Bulb Garden.

I received the Bulb Garden from ProFlowers quite quickly. Within one week this bulb garden went from barely showing above the soil to gorgeous pink hyacinth flowers. Read more

Children’s Book Review: The Day Leo Said I Hate You!

If you’ve ever heard yourself saying “No!” to your kids one too many times you’re certainly not alone! A new picture book for children, The Day Leo Said I Hate You!, by Robie H. Harris addresses this issue in a beautiful way. In the book, little Leo is constantly being told no all day long and then after many “no’s” and no “yes’s'” Leo blurts out to his Mom, “I hate you!”. I’m sure this issue is something every parent will eventually be faced with. Luckily for me, my time has yet to come.

This is a great book to open up discussion of your child’s feelings, and I suggest reading it out loud to your children irregardless of their age. Read more
