Giveaway is now CLOSED!

Patient Style recently sent me a pair of socks to try out for him/her. The him is blue and the her is pink. These socks are designed for you to take to the hospital with you if you are having a baby or surgery OR you are just feely lousy with a cold or flu. They are SO comfortable, very very soft. I LOVE soft socks. They are also anti-microbial which means they provide protection from bacteria and anything that can help in that area is good,especially in hospitals now days where you are hearing about infection being bad at times. They also have a non slick bottom so you don’t take a tumble. When you wear these socks you feel pampered and I LOVE that! It is also one of those things that make a hospital stay just a little bit more cheery. I know when I took my own gown to the hospital after having my babies, it helped so much to be comfortable and to have a little piece from my home with me. These socks will make you feel that way too!

Patient Style is a great website. They have hospital gowns , maternity items, nursing covers, baby blankets, gift baskets and much more.

Visit Patient Style Slipper Socks product page to buy a pair for you or someone else you know that are going into the hospital for a procedure or surgery. OR just to wear around the house on these cold brutal days. They would be perfect for you mothers to be to pack in your suitcase. These are great gifts for anyone. Price is $15.

I recently received VIP coupons for 4 boxes of General Mills cereal.

General Mills commitment to further reduce sugar in cereals advertised to kids under 12 to single digit grams of sugar per serving. The company has already been reducing sugar in cereals while increasing key nutrients, such as calcium and vitamin D, and providing whole grain.

Did you know that ready-to-eat cereal eaters consume less fat, less cholesterol and more fiber than non-cereal eaters? Cereals also deliver important vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients, making cereal a top source of key nutrients in children´s diets.

Other cereal benefits:
Ready-to-eat cereals, including pre-sweetened cereals, account for only 5% of sugar in children´s diets.
Ready-to-eat cereal is the No. 1 source of whole grains in a child´s diet today.
More frequent cereal eaters tend to have healthier body weights and lower Body Mass Index measures. Studies also demonstrate the benefits of eating breakfast. A 1998 study showed that children who eat breakfast tend to perform better at school. Compared to children who skip breakfast, children who eat breakfast score higher on tests, are less likely to miss class or be tardy, have fewer reported discipline problems, and make fewer trips to the office. For more information about kids and cereals, please visit Cereal Health and Wellness

Here is a link for your coupon.

General Mills provided me with the free product, information, and gift pack through My Blog Spark

Download N Go™ Series By Amanda Bennett and The Old Schoolhouse®One week of hands-on learning adventures for kids from K – 4th grade

Birthdays are always fun around here. We love to celebrate our loved one’s life and what they mean to us. The birthday boy or girl always get to pick their favorite meal and of course a birthday cake and a couple of gifts. I have always wished to do something a little different but couldn’t really pin down an idea until now. Amanda Bennett and the Old Schoolhouse are teaming up to do a Download N Go Series and they have created a unit study/and lapbook on birthdays. It is WONDERFUL!

This book is a weeks worth of worksheets about the childs life, picture board ideas, and the best part a whole lapbook to put together just on that particular child. The book includes everything to do for a whole week. This would be PERFECT for workboxes, learning centers and just a fun activity to do with the birthday child to celebrate his/her life. My son has a birthday coming up and I can’t wait to put the worksheets and lapbook pieces in his workboxes. They include sheets like who was President when you were born, their birthstory, places to put pictures of them growing up, the story of why you named them their particular name and so much MORE. So many times I wish I had more individual time with each child, it is tough when you homeschool a few or several children to really fit in time for each one. I feel this book is a wonderful way for you to connect to each child on their special week and I can’t wait to share each one of their stories with them.

Thanks for TOS for providing this ebook to review.
