Pack a Waste-Free Lunch for Back to School

Product was given to me in order to post my honest opinion.

 

My daughter is excited to be starting school this fall. Kindergarten is a big step and I know she is ready to go to school like her big brother. As I prepare for school, I know one of the most important things is a lunch box. Last year I packed my son’s lunch every single day, with a few exceptions. I also packed my daughter’s lunch for preschool. I ALWAYS used non-disposable products! Too many plastic bags and bottles are tossed in the trash every day.

Rockee Kids Toothbrush ~ It Rocks, Wobbles, and Spins!

Product was given to me in order to post my honest opinion.

 

Our apartment has one bathroom with one pedestal sink. Coming from a home with more than one bathroom, we have had to downsize what we have out on the counter. I am not a big fan of toothbrush holders, they get moldy and gross, especially in our not-so-ventilated bathroom! I have found a solution to our problem. The Rockee Toothbrush by VioLight is capable of standing up on its own. They wobble and spin, but won’t fall over!

 

Since the toothbrush won’t fall over they can stand on the sink and will dry quickly. Even better, the heads are replaceable so your Rockee Toothbrush can last longer than a typical toothbrush. Each Rockee brush comes with two extra brush heads. You can choose either a bright handle or blue dog or pink cat.

More French Songs for Young Learners from Whistlefritz

Product was given to me in order to post my honest opinion.

 

Screen Shot 2014-05-01 at 10.19.57 PM

As many of you know, French is the language my husband is currently learning, so I figured it was only appropriate to teach my kids. I have previously reviewed Whistlefritz’s French DVD Inside and Out – Dedans et Dehors and French CD Cha, Cha, Cha. My kids love listening to the Cha, Cha, Cha songs, so they were super excited to hear that a new CD was coming out.

 

Allons Danser! – Let’s Dance is the newest French CD featuring music performed by internationally-acclaimed French artists Marie-Louise Desage and Didier Prossaird. Young French language learners will enjoy dancing and singing along to these catchy tunes.

Office Depot Gives Back #TeachersChangeLives + Learn How to Adopt a Classroom

 

My son is a Kindergartener this year and I can see first hand how hard teachers work. As a substitute teacher I have been interacting with classrooms for the last 5 years. I know teachers spend money out of their pocket to create amazing learning environments for their kids. I also know that teachers go out of their way to treat their students as best they can.

 

Office Depot Gives Back to the Classroom #TeachersChangeLives

 

At Christmas break this past year, my son’s teacher bought each child in the class 2 small Christmas presents. This generosity showed me that she not only cared about the kids learning, but she wanted everyone to have a Christmas present. She spent her own money to give every child a gift.

 

Office Depot has teamed up with teachers across the country. They wanted to show how teachers go above and beyond to change lives. They found 10 teachers and asked them to share their story. One teacher, uses her Brillant Bus to give students access to technology. She used her life savings to build this bus to help bridge the digital divide. She has recently been featured as one of CNN’s heroes. Here is her story.

Help Your Children During Cold Season with Zarbee’s Naturals

Product was given to me in order to post my honest opinion.

Ever since my son started Kindergarten this year, a member of our family has been sick at least every other month. Of course my daughter is in preschool, I am a substitute teacher and my husband is in Graduate school….so maybe we all contribute to the problem! My son seems to get the worst of it though. He gets a cough and a runny nose every now and then, but luckily it stops there with the use of essential oils and natural remedies.

 

Zarbee’s Naturals has created natural formulas to aid children during cold season. Their formulas are drug free and honey based. They recently came out with cough syrup that would work on babies under 12 months. Since drugs are no longer an option when dealing with your kid’s coughs and colds, it is great that there are natural products that can help.
