We love our new Clifford The Big Red Dog Rainbow Science Kit. This kit comes with almost everything you need to complete these great science experiments. You do have to provide some household items that you probably already have in your kitchen like food coloring and milk, but everything else is included in the kit. Experiments include:
This would make a great present for the inquisitive child in your life this holiday season. 
The kit is well equipped and even comes with this handy tray so you don't need to use lots of dishes when completing the experiments. 
The Clifford the Big Red Dog Rainbow Science Kit is the perfect tool for introducing science to preschool aged children. My four year old is practicing using a pipette in this picture. 
The boys made a rainbow star, but I couldn't get a picture fast enough to capture the star on the surface of the milk. They really thought this was cool. 
The Rainbow Science Kit comes with this easy to follow instruction book. Emily Elizabeth, Clifford's owner, explains each experiment in simple terms that children can easily understand. 
The boys even made bookmarks with chromatography paper.

Have you seen the new LeapReader products? We have two of the older model Leap Pads (which the boys still love) but they are more limited in what they can do in comparison with the new LeapReader line. We were sent this great LeapReader collection and have enjoyed learning all of the fun and educational things we can do with it. We even invited some friends over to play with our new LeapReaders. 
First we read "A Special Lunch" with the LeapReader and answered some of the interactive questions that went with the story. The kids all took turns answering and were actively engaged. The little ones wanted to participate too as you can see with my two year old on my lap. 
We played Flashcard Mash-up by creating words with the cards and then using the LeapReader to sound out the words. 
The kids were so excited to wear these 3-D glasses and read Monsters University in 3-D with the LeapReader. I love the new LeapReader collection. The LeapReader is so easy to use. The boys love it and "read" or listen to stories on their own. The LeapReader has so much to offer and the writing workbooks are genius. The LeapReader does not write in the reading books, but does write in the writing workbooks and on special LeapReader paper. Therefore, the boys can't accidentally write in their reading books with the LeapReader pen. Here is some more information from LeapReader.
Our LeapReader Party was energetic and fun. The kids loved playing with the new LeapReaders at the party and our boys continue to use their LeapReaders. These are great products that will get lots of use in our house. Another perk, they are great for traveling. We have done a lot of traveling lately and it sure has been nice having two LeapReaders in the car for our four and six year olds.

Can you believe it's time to start thinking about Christmas presents and Christmas cards already? Last year I made my parents and my in-laws each a photo book. The photo books were a lot easier to make than scrapbooks and they made perfect gifts filled with pictures of the grandkids. Tiny Prints has so many wonderful gifts from which to choose including these fabulous photo books. And of course, there are many, many amazingly beautiful cards from which to choose. There are new options this year too including square, rounded, bracket, ticket & scallop trim options.

Disclosure: I received this product for free from the sponsor of the Moms Meet program, May Media Group LLC, who received it directly from the manufacturer.

Calorease is a weight management supplement that can help reduce excess calories from fat in an average diet. I have been taking Calorease for several weeks and will share my experience. First, here is how it works. How Does Calorease Work?  At first, I was apprehensive about taking a weight loss supplement. However, I was offered this review through Moms Meet. As a Moms Meet Mom Ambassador and blogger I receive opportunities to try eco friendly, organic, and healthy products. I knew that Calorease had to be safe if it was being offered for review through Moms Meet. I have been taking Calorease 1 to 2 times a day, except when we travel. I don't need to lose much weight, only about 10 pounds so I have been taking it less frequently. In addition, if I am consuming a meal containing mostly healthy fats like real butter, olive oil, or avocado, I do not take Calorease. I want to digest the healthy fats because they are an important nutrient that your body needs to function properly. The first few times I took Calorease, I experienced some minor cramping and had to use the restroom fairly soon after eating. I then started taking my probiotic with it and these symptoms no longer occurred. Overall, my experience with Calorease has been positive. I haven't lost weight yet, but I have been taking Calorease less than the recommended 3 times a day. Also, I did not take it when we traveled and we were out of town 3 weekends in the last month. I think I can reach my weight loss goal with Calorease, exercise, and a balanced fat-containing diet. Just the facts (from Calorease) If you are interested you can get a 50% discount.

All opinions are honest and are my own.  The VTech Switch & Go Dinos, Skyslicer The Allosaurus™ came just in time for my son's 4th birthday party, which happened to be a dinosaur party. He was so excited when he opened his present and found Skyslicer, a combination of two of his favorite things: dinosaurs and transforming toys.  This is actually one of my favorite toys because the boys love playing with it so I know it will get lots of use plus it is well constructed. It is sturdy and easy to transform so preschoolers can enjoy playing with it too. SkySlicer the Allosaurus™ My son loves showing how his new SkySlicer the Allosaurus™ works in this video.  The ultimate kid’s toy, Switch & Go Dinos® easily transform between a dinosaur and a vehicle in a few simple steps. This is a toy that I would buy. It is a good value and a toy that will get lots of play. It would make a great Christmas present. You can follow VTech on Twitter and Facebook. Win a SkySlicer the Allosaurus™.
 I've been baking up a storm for the last three days getting ready for the bake sale at the Fall Festival at church. I made these cut-out cookies, milk chocolate oatmeal raisin cookies, and cinnamon rolls for the sale and they all sold really well. The bake sale was today and every one of these cut-out cookies sold, providing more money for the charity work that is supported by the festival. It was a lot of work and a lot of fun, but I'm glad it's over because I am beyond tired and ready for a relaxing night void of anything to do with baking. I used my favorite sugar cookie recipe and buttercream icing. I kept it simple by only making pumpkins and leaves and using a writing tip on my icing bags. I used orange, nut brown, and leaf green icing colors to tint the buttercream. I used gold ball sprinkles on the leaves.    Linking up at Create with Joy
Disclosure: I received products for review. All opinions are honest and are my own.  We just celebrated our four year old's birthday with a dinosaur party. We invited his entire preschool class and everyone had such a fun time. One of the hi-lights of the party was the dinosaur dig. Oriental Trading Company sent us these awesome dinosaur skeletons and dinosaur eggs.  My husband buried the dinosaurs and eggs in the dirt before the party. The kids really enjoyed the dinosaur dig and they got to take their "fossils" home with them. The dinosaur eggs open to reveal a tiny dinosaur inside. The children loved opening their eggs to discover which baby dinosaurs they had.  Oriental Trading Company also sent us this spectacular personalized birthday banner. I love this design. It added so much to the ambiance of the party.   We loved the birthday banner so much that we hung it on his bedroom wall. He loves it and likes being next to his dinosaur wall when looking at books until he falls asleep.  Thank you Oriental Trading Company from a very messy and happy birthday boy.

The next day, I was making homemade pizza for dinner and thought, I wonder if the leftover spinach salad would be any good on one of the pizzas? I made the pizza like I always do and put the leftover spinach salad on top. It was delicious. You could even sprinkle more crumbled bacon on top.
 Congratulations to entry #1405 Amber.
