Fun Fractions (a giveaway)



In the late afternoon our dining room table provides the best spot for photographing items for my blog. It's not the best of the dining tables out there but since it's covered with junk so often, people can't usually see the fake wood surface. Today I took advantage of some unclaimed space and snapped some pictures of something fun I get to give away! Yeah!

A while back I had the opportunity to chose something from the CSN website to review. I decided that the Piece of Pizza Fractions was the perfect item for our family for a few reasons.


1) It's food. My kids love to play with their pretend food and fight over the one toy pizza we have.

2) There were three pizzas (remember that fighting???)

3) It's educational. Sam likes math and is always asking questions about it so being able to learn fractions in this way makes perfect sense!

When they opened the box they gasped. Yes, gasped. I told you it was a perfect fit! Within seconds they went into restaurant mode and were serving up slices of our favorite pizza. They aren't in the picture but there is also a delivery box, a pizza server, and a pizza cutter that comes with the set.
I was most impressed with the heaviness of the product. There will be NO bending of these pizza slices! The only disappointing thing (to me, not to the kids) was the size of the pizzas. I would have liked them to be a little bigger so the slices themselves could have been bigger (less chance of losing them). In reality any bigger and they wouldn't fit in the play kitchen we have so overall this product gets an "A" from this family of pizza lovers!

And now for the fun part...if you would like to win one of these for your family this is your chance!

  4. One of the best ways we have to make math fun is School House ROCK! And besides that, Daddy, the "math teacher" writes "MATH IS FUN!" at the top of every page he does with the kids... it's cute!

  5. We use marshmallows to make math fun. Subtraction is FAR more enjoyable than addition :-)

  6. We use math counters to help make math more visually understandable and more fun.

  12. How fun - pizza and fractions. I actually worked for this company - Learning Resources for 5 1/2 years. I used to get an awesome discount and I think my nieces/nephew had every product they made at the time. Good quality and education at the same time. Glad the kids are enjoying it.

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able. Please be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog and/or an email address. Thank you for covering my dear friend and her family with prayers!

Elsa's Birth Story

The morning of July 1st started out like all the other mornings this summer. The kids let me sleep until 7:30 and then came in to wake me up. We ate breakfast and I started picking up around the house. We had spent the previous day at the town pool and because the heat index was going to be just as high again we made plans to go to our beach. The kids really wanted to practice their swimming skills but I didn't want to have to pay for the pool again. At 8:30 I lost my mucus plug and my brain started running a mile a minute. Could this mean we're getting close? Could I actually go early for a change?I turned to Google and learned that labor could be hours or days away. I feel I should warn you - if you decide to Google mucus plug be prepared to see photographic proof. Why people felt the need to post pictures to Google images is beyond me!  Moving on..... Just in case I ended up being one of the lucky ones who only had hours to wait until labor started I kept up with my clean

Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start thinking about changing over our closets from Winter to Spring. I don't know about you, but that also means it's time to look for a few new pieces to bring new life to what I wear year after year. Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses ! It's a whole new ballgame for me now that I'm going to have TWO girls to dress. In the end I decided to pick this beauty called Azure Coast to giveaway to one lucky reader because us mom's are always buying things for our kids before ourselves. I just might have to pick up one for myself in time to wear for BabyBear's baptism this summer. It's perfect for nursing moms! Want to win one for yourself? See below , but if you d
