Rafflecopter Giveaway: Winners Choice from Rock ‘N Learn!!

Rock ‘N Learn – Rocks our Socks!

About a month ago, our family got the chance to review the new “Sight Words” DVD from Rock ‘N Learn. I was super excited to share it with the kids- The youngest little guy in my house just started Kindergarten, and is really struggling. I figured that this had the potential to be a BIG help!

A little about Sight Words:

Sight words are the most popular words in the English language- words like come and go, in and out, up and down, and you and me. The idea is that kids should learn to recognize these words on sight – helping to build a great base for their beginning reading skills!

The DVD is from the great people at RockNLearn.com– where you can find tons of other great DVD Videos, Audio CDs and iPad apps to “Capture Kids’ Attention and Get Results.”

I’d read great things about them, but this is the first time we’ve gotten to experience it for ourselves. I’m very happy to tell you- this video totally lived up to the positive reviews that I’ve read!

See it in action:

The Reaction in My House:

  • Abby: Abby is 14 month months, which is a bit too young for this video {it’s meant for Pre-K and up}- but she LOVES her Baby Signing Time videos, so I thought she might like these too. I was SO right! She giggles and claps, and dances along to the songs. It’s never too early to start learning to recognize words, right?
  • Little Guy: He’s the perfect age for this, and since he’s struggling with school so far, I was really hoping he’d like these. He was totally engaged with the video the whole time! And, even after a month of watching this a few times a week- he still loves it! He says, “Reading is ROCK AND ROLL!!” {Translation- his dad is in a rock band. He thinks that rock music is the coolest thing ever. So, if he says that something is rock and roll, that’s his highest compliment.} He seems to be really starting to grasp the words and their meanings, and is getting better with his skills when doing schoolwork too. So grateful that Rock ‘N Learn contacted us to try this out!
  • Big Guy: The older little guy in my house is 8, and is starting to become “too cool” for some of the things that interest his brother- making it a challenge to keep them both entertained. But- he really enjoys this video too! He is a really advanced reader, so he doesn’t really need to learn these sight words- he knows them. But he gets a big kick out of helping his brother learn them- and I think it really helps reinforce the meanings of words that he already knows. I love the way the words are taught in context- the character goes up when showing the word UP, then back down to show the word DOWN.
  • Me: These don’t drive me crazy, like many kids video’s do – which means that I love them! They’re really cute, the songs are catchy, and the educational value of them is very obvious. They keep all three kids entertained and engaged after school, they’re teaching the kids some wonderful reading skills, and they’re totally pleasant to listen to- I give Rock ‘N Learn – Sight Words a rating of 5 Suns out of 5!! {Remember, I don’t do “star” ratings, I do suns :)}

You can purchase your own copy of Sight Words on Rock ‘N Learn for $19.99. And bonus- use this special coupon code- JQ7711 – at check out, to save an additional 25% off of any purchase at Rock ‘N Learn!!

Win It!

Check it Out- How to Build the Total Couponing Kit

Check out the New Way to Store and Organize Your Coupons

I know that a ton of people swear by the coupon organizing binders- but those just haven’t worked out for me.

Currently, I store my monster pile of coupons in a few big folders in my filing cabinet- and take ’em all out when it’s time to make my shopping list.

But- I TOTALLY think that this would be the PERFECT system for me- My Coupon Closet is a super cool new storage system to help you get organized.

My Coupon Closet is the newest and easiest way to organize your coupons. No need for expensive and bulky binders with this coupon box. Everything you need comes in your coupon box, ready for you to create YOUR Coupon Closet.

Right now for a limited time, you can get FREE shipping when you enter the code freeship11. 

See it in action:

Everything you need is included:

  • Reusable Shopping Bag: Each box comes with a reusable shopping bag (random color). The box fits perfectly in the bag, so now you can easily carry your box anywhere. It is a very lightweight organizer that fits perfectly in your shopping cart. Looking for coupons while shopping is now a breeze.
  • Plastic Box with Snap on Lid: Because we use a sturdy plastic shoe box, you will never have to worry about your new organizer falling apart. A snap-on lid insures that your coupons will stay in place.
  • A pen and scissors: Each box comes with a pair of scissors and a pen. You need scissors in your box, so you will always be ready to clip coupons. If you are out shopping, you may find in-store coupons in a flyer that you need to use now. Because you have your scissors ready, you are ready to instantly use that coupon! We include a pen, so you are actively keeping track of your budget and making off your check list. Head on over to the Coupon Closet blog to learn more about shopping lists and budgets.

  • 60 White Envelopes: 60 envelopes are used to create individual categories for your new coupon box. If you are a beginner, we suggest you start with just 30 categories and then build up to 60 the longer you coupon. You can see my category suggestions here.
  • 5 Green Envelopes: The Green envelopes are used to separate your stores. These are perfect for individual store coupons, and to place the coupons you plan to use at each of those stores.
  • Separator: Added into the coupon box, is a small separator. This divider is a small basket that is placed inside your coupon box. It keeps all your envelopes lined up properly and holds your pen and scissors. I also like to place a calculator and my cell phone in this basket while I am shopping.

Everything you need to get started is included. Go here to purchase your kit today!

Rafflecopter- Halo Bars Delivered to YOUR Door! #giveaway

Halo Smores Bars

How to know if you’ll LOVE the new Halo Snack Bars:

Ask yourself the following questions. If you answer, “Um, heck yeah!?” to most of them, then you, my friend, will LOVE the new Halo Snack Bars from PROBAR. {Disclaimer: this quiz is a bit less than scientific. In fact, I just now made it up. But it will still determine whether you’ll love ’em.}

  • Do you have a sweet tooth? Does it make demands for things like chocolate, marshmallows, nuts, or graham-crackery treats?
  • Are you trying to ignore that sweet tooth, but it’s not working?
  • Do you wish you could get yourself to eat snacks that were organic, vegan, or just plain better for you than the vending machine junk you eat now?

If you answered YES, then keep reading!

PROBAR has launched a SUPER yummy new snack, the Halo Snack Bar! This snack bar isn’t just GOOD, it’s also good FOR you. How often does that happen, right? This new snack bar bridges the gap between your current options of high calorie nutrition/energy bars and sugary granola or candy bars.

Here are a few amazing facts about the Halo Bars:

  • All Halo Bars are certified organic, meaning no yucky chemicals, and no weird ingredients that you can’t pronounce.
  • Each bar has Omega 3 & 6, is low-in-sugar and is dairy-free/Vegan- but they come in dessert-style flavors like S’mores, Nutty Marshmallow, Rocky Road, and Honey Graham.
  • Even with the dessert flavors – {and these babies are GOOD!!} – they are each only 150 calories! Rockin.
  • Like all of the other great PROBAR products, these are delicious, convenient, healthy plant based food products. How much better can you get?

Fun reactions from tasting HALO at Expo West 2011:

Now hear the reactions to the new HALO bars in my house…

  • Me: I’m always in a rush, and hardly have time to eat some days. I love, love, LOVE a snack that is easy to grab, fills me up for a long time, and isn’t junk. This is amazingly perfect. Plus- I crave sweets. A lot. So this is just what I’ve been looking for.
  • Kiddo’s: Both of the boys got SUPER excited when they heard I was getting Halo bars- they thought that it had something to do with Halo the video game, lol. They were quite disappointed when I opened the box to some snacks…. Until they got to try them. 5 year old: these taste like camping!! {this was while eating the smores bar…}
  • Boyfriend: He HATES anything healthy. I have to lie, so he doesn’t know, or he won’t eat it. Here is the conversation- Him: “Why didn’t you tell me these were all organic-y stuff?” Me: “I don’t know….” Him: “I’ve eaten like 5 of these already!!” Me: “That means they were good right?” Him: “Whatever. Yes, they were really good. But you tricked me.” :)
