Target Gift Card Giveaway Winner Announced!

And the winner (chosen by rafflecopter) is…..

#202 Chesnye!

Casey and I are so excited to give you this gift Chesnye!!!!

When I emailed Chesnye this morning, I got to learn a little about this awesome mommy teacher….

 She is a stay-at-home mom with two little ones.  She says: “My son will be 3 in September and my daughter is 16 weeks.  I love to do crafts and science activities with my son and we do a lot of crafts based on the books we read!  I love that I get to be his full time teacher for the time being; we start preschool curriculum (at home) in 2 weeks!  I also love that he tries to teach his baby sister things he has learned!  Let’s me know that things are sticking!”

She sounds so deserving of this prize!

Thanks Casey for hosting this giveaway!  All you Mommy Teachers would appreciate the Kidspired Creations that Casey customizes and personalizes for sale….so go shopping!

I posted a status on my Facebook Page polling some Mommy Teachers to find out where they shop most or would like to shop more, and the majority ruled in favor of…..
Target!

Casey and I were both Early Childhood teachers so we remember the days of Teacher Appreciation week 🙂

Not many mommies get the apple they deserve for being the primary teacher of their own child SO Casey and I are awarding one lucky winner with a $50 Target Gift Card!

The giveaway ends this Friday, August 3rd at midnight and the winner will be announced Saturday.

Activity Swap Giveaway! (Winner Announced)

Rafflecopter randomly selected a Winner: Entry# 216 Jacqueline V whose favorite aisle is the “beads” aisle. Congrats!!!

My friend recently shared an AWESOME mommy teacher idea to start an “Activity Swap” for our little ones…..why didn’t I think of that?!?

We love our cookie exchanges, recipe exchanges, etc. And now, an exchange that is even more meaningful, the author of the blog Second Story Window came up with the perfect exchange that will benefit everyone involved.

Basically, every mommy buys supplies in bulk for one activity they choose or come up with.  Then, each mommy places the materials and instructions in gallon-sized ziploc bags…. providing enough for the amount of mommies involved.  Each mommy who provided an activity gets to take an activity from each mommy home too.  Essentially, a mom can show up with ONE activity and leave with several for her little one.  Click here for the blog that gives specific tips to organize the event!

I LOVE this idea and it put me in the mood to go shopping at Hobby Lobby for some materials.  So, I thought I would supply a $25 Hobby Lobby Gift Card to one mommy (or daddy, grandma, teacher, whoever!) who is inspired today.

Enter below (giveaway starts today -march 5 and ends friday march 9)  – winners will be announced saturday the 10th!

And don’t be confused by the first several comments….Rafflecopter didn’t update when I changed the “Leave a Comment” entry from my last giveaway; so sorry if that confused anyone!  Don’t worry about changing your comment….just wanted to let you know it was my oversight! :

Congratulations to the Giveaway winner!

Rafflecopter chose entry #30 – Sheralyn!  Congratulations!

I contacted this mommy teacher who is a mom of two adorable boys, Nasby (4) and Jude (8 months).  Nasby goes to preschool three days a week, and his hard working momma works the evening shift as a nurse twice a week.  She says that her boys love to learn and soak up every learning opportunity she provides.  Well Sheralyn, enjoy your quiet book!  🙂

Thanks so much to Pacific Kid – I love your products and I will certainly be buying them as a mommy teacher myself!  Don’t forget mommy teachers….there is a LIMITED TIME discount for mommy teachers on their site….promo code “Mommy10”  so order those gifts in time for the holidays 🙂

As a former Early Childhood Teacher I would’ve loved one of their products for my classroom, so maybe you can buy your little one’s teacher a gift for Christmas!

My Quiet Book Review and Giveaway!

I couldn’t be more excited to share one of my latest discoveries and favorite products out there for kiddos.  My fingers were itching to start writing about all the things I love about my new “Quiet Book” from Pacific Kid.

Look inside and then just nod in agreement as I rave about all the things I love about it:

  1. I love how practical it is as an on-the-go, time filler for independent reading… like road trips, waiting rooms, sporting events, etc.
  2. I love that it is an interactive book with so many skills to practice and talk about.
  3. I love that it incorporates numbers, telling time, colors, and matching shapes through hands-on learning.
  4. I love that it is one of the greatest books for fine motor development (get those little hands ready for everyday skills like buttoning pants and writing).
  5. I love that it incorporates sensory development like touch and feel because it provides a great framework for building vocabulary.
  6. I love that it is so well made.  The quality is just beautiful!
  7. I love that you can zip the book closed and cart it around with a carry-along handle because it is so travel-friendly!
  8. I love that I couldn’t give one away without owning one first 🙂

I’ve already spread the word to friends, teachers, and pediatric therapists because I really believe that every little one would benefit from and ENJOY owning this incredibly interactive book.

So, here are some ways that you can enter to win this fabulous book:


Enter by Midnight on Friday, November 4th so that I can announce the winner on Saturday 🙂

Pacific Kid has a lot of fabulous products like calendars, story boards, play walls, and puzzle blocks that are 3-dimensional stuffed pieces of art sewn by hand, and for a limited time you can use a promotional code just for being a mommy teacher. From November 1st to December 15th you will receive 10% off your orders placed through Pacifickid.net by entering the promo code “Mommy10”!

Take advantage of this deal in perfect timing for holiday shopping!

Well, for a few more days this bag is ON SALE for just $7.00 with every $31 you spend.  Sooo…..if you are interested in doing a little pre-Christmas shopping and purchasing a tote for yourself, while entering a giveaway all at once, then go to the link for my party:

CLICK HERE and place an organizing tote in your cart along with something that is of $31 value or greater.

If you make a purchase of ANY amount through my party link, and leave a comment telling me what you have ordered, I am going to enter your name to win a $25 Gift Certificate to spend on Thirty-One products!!!

For shopping ideas…. I am obsessed with the  “About Town Blanket” which is waterproof on one side and soft and furry on the other, perfect for picnics, “field trips,” and you name it.   I also LOVE  the fold and go organizer which is perfect for storing a planner, a nook if you have one, or colored pencils to provide the perfect carry-on for your little one to color on the notepad inside.  And I am definitely buying the home organizer as well so I know it will be hard for you to decide with so many great Christmas gift ideas (like the thermal tote!)
