Singing Machine
*I received a product sample to facilitate my review. All opinions are my own.
Singing is a hot trend right now. There are so many TV shows, movies and talented musicians making it big with YouTube and singing competition shows today. Singing Machine’s new portable SML385 karaoke system is the perfect way to get in on the action.
This karaoke system also makes a great gift. My 10 yr old received it as a birthday present but with Christmas coming up it makes a great gift for that as well. This would apply to all ages as there is a variety of music.

Your Core is a wonderful book for young children. Explaining souls to young children is hard because it is a hard concept to grasp. Callie Grant explains it beautifully on a child's level in this book. The illustrations by Missi Jay are colorful and catchy.

I know I hate it when I have a stuffy or runny nose and my nose gets really chapped from wiping it so much. I am sure it is worse for kids.
Both of my girls deal with allergies year round. That may be from living in Texas and the crazy changing weather but we deal with it.
I love Boogie Wipes in my classroom and quite a few of the parents love them too. They really do make wiping the nose easier.

TIME For Kids: The NEW BIG Book of Why Crazy, Cool & Outrageous answers the questions that kids commonly ask and adults can rarely answer. Why are our eyes different colors? Why do we put candles on a birthday cake? Why do we high five our friends? Why do elephants have big ears?

North American Herb and Spice was founded in 1999 by Judy Kay Gray, MS with the idea that nourishment from raw whole foods is the key to maintaining optimal health. Today those founding ideals serve as the foundation for more than 130 unique products, formulations that are highly nourishing and naturally powerful.
I have been using and looking into more natural products for my family. In my search I have been seeing a lot of good info about Oregano. So when I was contacted to try some of North American Herb and Spice's oregano products I jumped at the chance.

-About the book:Mysterious footprints in the snow. Vanishing mittens, misplaced eggs. A pink, purple, and orange paisley sleeping bag on the move. Something’s definitely amiss in the chicken coop, and wackiness runs amok on Bash Hinglebobb’s blizzard-blasted farm. While Bash is inventing such contraptions as a snowball catapult from inner tubes and underwear, his cousin Beamer Boxby, a city kid at heart, must help newcomer Lauren Rodriguez figure out why God lets horrible things happen to good people. Can Bash’s Farmin’ and Fishin’ Book (the Bible) be believed when it says, “We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God”? What about when fire rolls through an animal building. Or when a kid’s lost her dad? It’s time to find out—with a little help from an ice-skating pig.

*Sponsored by the Boodle Box
Who doesn't love to get mail? I know I do and so do my kids. There are so many options for subscription boxes for Mom and Dad but not so many for the kids. That's why I was so excited to find the Boodle Box.
The Boodle Box comes in 2 categories ages 5-10 and 11+. You can choose how long you want to sign up 1 month, 3 month, 6 month or a year - the longer the subscription the better the price. 1 month is $24.99 and it goes down from there.
I was sent the Boodle One box for ages 5-10 (this was sent to me to review - all opinions are my own). This was perfect since my girls are 6 and 9.
The Boodle Box comes with a super fun design.
I love my daughters teachers and they really deserve to feel appreciated especially at the end of the year. Summer is coming and school is almost out I thought I would share some teacher appreciation gifts we've done.
Birchbox is $10 a month for 4-6 hand-picked beauty and lifestyle samples. The neat thing is you can review the samples you receive on a monthly basis and earn points in their shop. Each product review gives you 10 points and 100 points is $10. So they can add up pretty fast.
I had signed up with Birchbox a year ago but wasn't impressed so I canceled. I didn't realize they had the point system though and decided to try again when I learned about it.
