Our LeapFrog Touch Magic Rock 'n Learn Party


We are a very proud LeapFrog family from two Leapsters, one LeapPad and numerous games, I value the educational and entertainment aspect LeapFrog provides my children.  I look to LeapFrog as a trusted source of fun for my girls as well as a way to learn and enhance their education.  We had an opportunity to host a LeapFrog Touch Magic Rock 'n Learn party with two Touch Magic Rockin' Guitars and a Touch Magic Learning Bus.  These are great tools if you have children of preschool age who like music.  

The LeapFrog Touch Magic Rockin' Guitars provide musical fun while giving them an edge in developing their preschool skills.  What is extra special about the guitars, the child can play solo or with a  band playing those timeless classics like Itsy Bitsy Spider, Pop goes the Weasel and many more.  After the performance, they can even hear applause.  It's lightweight and easy to use for those little fingers.  Recommended for ages three and up, it's the ideal learning toy to introduce them to music, enhances social skills and uses motor skills for development.  

The LeapFrog Touch Magic Learning Bus provides fun the old fashion way with learning songs tied in with the alphabet while building early vocabulary and motor skills.  When you have older children and  younger children, they are always envious of the school bus which makes this learning toy a great feature in attracting those little ones to play.  It provides three different modes to enhance their experience with letter exploration and music, sing-along and learning.  It's also perfect size and not too heavy.  Recommended for ages two and up, it's the ideal learning tool for the preschool age.
Of course, we had to try it out before the party and get familiar with both the Touch Magic Rockin' Guitar and the Touch Magic Learning Bus.  Elizabeth, who will be two in about three weeks, loves them! She immediately starting bopping her head to the sound of the music.  Danielle, five, even liked them.  Music seems to draw children in so combining learning with music is always a win-win.  For the party, we were able to set up some games, a talent contest with practice and dress up time.  Who doesn't like a Preschool American Idol after all?  This was the fun part to say the least!  

After the invitations were sent, we readied the party with prizes the winner, a set up stage and made up our food list.  I had cookie cutter guitars and a cake shaped guitar mold from a previous party which made excellent cookies and cake for the theme.  Parties is our forte so the ideas were endless with giving the kids something fun yet educational.






All in all, we had a great time.  We still love LeapFrog and are grateful for the opportunity to host this party.

*Disclaimer:  We received a complimentary party pack that included the above mentioned products for the purposes of this post.

Dinosaur World (Kentucky, Texas & Florida) Giveaway - US - 9/20

Here is a great giveaway for those families wanting to experiencing something out of the ordinary .... DINOSAUR WORLD!

Click Here to see the Full Review and Giveaway by Rebecca @ Love2EncourageYou! This is just the shortened version.


We had the great privilege of visiting Dinosaur World in Plant City, FL recently with free passes. It was quite the exciting experience for my little ones who arrived with wide-eyes and full of anticipation getting to see over 150 life-sized dinosaurs!


The dinosaurs here are very impressive, especially in the newer section they just built this past year. The natural environment they are set in as you walk along the path makes it so realistic. Check out this ferocious looking bunch!  For those of you who are interested in visiting,  Dinosaur World has three great locations nationwide:
You can find out more information at www.dinosaurworld.com.  We began our journey walking out into a large open area with giant dinos and beautiful landscaping. To my little one's delight, we came upon a Preschool/Toddler playland area almost immediately - full of brightly colored dinosaur-themed slides and ride on equipment. They even had toddler safe swings for my 18 month old to enjoy, although my five year old wanted to swing on them too. Lol.



My daughter's conclusion to whether the Preschool/Toddler play area at Dinosaur World was a hit? I'll let you be the judge. :)


Here you can see a larger playground with dinosaur themed climbing equipment designed for older children in the elementary age group. You won't run short of great picture opps at Dinosaur World! Make sure to bring the camera! :)
This one reminds my teen son of that scene in Jurassic Park with this dino. He enjoyed reading all the name plates and searching for interesting details he may not have known.
Plenty of spaces available under the shelter of this cute little picnic area to bring your own lunch or snacks and take a short break. Something that may be a big hit with the elementary aged kids is the giant puzzle you can take apart and put together located near the picnic area. For my homeschool and education-minded readers, the little details included on the information plates in front of every dino are very helpful for inquiring minds.


Here is a fun little activity you can do with your child called Touch and Tell which stretches along a portion of the park after the picnic area. It has several fun lift the flap types of games to play and even a touch and guess game to figure out what is hiding in the hole behind the wood. Here is a peek at one my daughter was playing.


Dinosaur World is also one of the only pet friendly parks in Florida. They have drinking stations in the park just for your pet! How cool and thoughtful!

 

This is the BoneYard which is a super big sand pit with a huge dinosaur skeleton for the little ones to enjoy uncovering with all the shovels and brushes Dinosaur World makes available for them to use while playing here. There are bleacher seats available to one side for the parents to sit and rest on while the little ones play. The sand pit is in a covered shelter so the sun doesn't beat down on them while they are playing.


The park has so many great activities that offer hours of entertainment for the whole family. We highly recommend a walk through the museum near the exit before you leave - to experience their new live animatronic dinosaurs! Even my 18 month old loved them and wasn't afraid! That was surprising!


It was impressive to see all the workmanship and detail that went into the making of these dinosaur statues. My family is really into drama and so in conclusion, my husband decided to help set the mood for your future visit to Dinosaur World.  You can follow each individual Dinosaur World park on Facebook or follow the one you are closest to. It is also recommended to follow them on Twitter. Dinosaur World has special events and sales promotions quite often! You won't want to miss them. Their prices are very reasonable and it makes it fun to spend a nice day out in the fresh air with the family at a price you can afford. Good luck to all of you as you enter the giveaway below!

GIVEAWAY TIME!

Prize: One winner will win 4 single day tickets to the Dinosaur World location of your choice:
  • Cave City, Kentucky
  • Glen Rose, Texas
  • Plant City, Florida
Location: Open to USA only Age: Must be 18+ yrs to enter.

Our Jolly Time Popcorn After School Snack



A couple of year's ago, I was one of those busy moms trying to do it all.  I did the whole pick my daughter up from school to spare her the school bus ride given all the horror stories of mean kids.  Two year's prior, my middle daughter was diagnosed with epilepsy so I knew the importance of not letting her go long without eating and of course, at school, their eating schedule is not based on the child's time.  As I thought I was being a good mom, I would high tail it to the closest fast food restaurant after school to satisfy that immediate hunger.  It wasn't too long later that I started noticing my little girl was turning a bit pudgy and knew it was time for some sensible snacking.  My ideal snack is one of low calories that will satisfy that rumbly in the tumbly yet not fill them up so there is room for dinner.  My girls never object to Jolly Time Popcorn for a quick snack, movie night or when traveling since hotels are equipped with microwave ovens.

What is even nicer about Jolly Time Popcorn is the variety such as 100-calorie Healthy Pop varieties including one of my favorites, sweet and salty as well as my girls' favorites, rich Butter Flavor.  Our complimentary sample boxes not only helped to squash those after school hunger pains but also went pretty well during our family fun night as you can see in the picture above of my middle child devouring a whole bag with her niece.  

Another favorite past time of my children, since we homeschool, is hands on cooking.  I think every child should learn the basics in the kitchen.  Jolly Time Popcorn even offers us some fun popcorn recipes.  The Nutty Popcorn Fudge looks amazing.


Nutty Popcorn Fudge 
If you have been looking for that quick and easy after school snack, check out Jolly Time Popcorn and don't forget to like on Facebook and follow on Twitter to stay up to date.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Build A Dream Playhouse Giveaway 9/15 - US

Smiley face

Build A Dream Playhouse Giveaway!!!

Free is for Me recently had the opportunity to work with Build A Dream Playhouse and review one of their awesome playhouses! I was so inspired by this product even before I received it in the mail by reading their story on line. Anytime, we are able to review something locally manufactured (Cleveland, Ohio.. GO BROWNS!) and that is eco-friendly kinda makes my heart sing! If that isn't awesome enough this toy is actually good old American fun.. you know the kind that requires a little imagination and creativity... the toys that this generation seem to be lacking!

Carl Sagan once said, "Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere!". In a world that it is motivated by media our kids are bombarded by stimulation on all sides and it is so refreshing to find something that takes the remote control, game controller, or the keyboard out of their hands and have them start using their brains for more than technology but for imagination! To read my full review of the fun my family had with the Dream Machine go HERE.

Thanks to the kindness of Build A Dream Playhouse they are giving one of Free is for Me's Fans a chance to win one of their products!! How awesome is that!! They are offering to one winner your choice of either the Cosmic Cruiser or the Dream Machine (pictured above)!! Either one of them would make any little boy or girl's day!

Legal Mumbo Jumbo: Giveaway is open ONLY to the Contingent 48 states. You have to be 18 years or older to win by submitting an entry you are verifying you are of age. One winner will be chosen at random from entries received on the Rafflecopter. Giveaway will run from 12:01am on 9/1/2012 and will end at 12:01 on 9/16/2012. Winners will be notified by email and will have 24 hours to respond. Should you not respond within the allotted amount of time you will forfeit the prize and another winner will be selected.

netTALK: World’s First Low-Cost Wireless VoIP Telephone Device Review & Giveaway 9/18

With all the advances of technology it really is impractical to not take full advantage especially from a monetary standpoint.  The rapid advancement of the internet has allowed for gadgets and the creation of things to save us money such as netTALK DUO WiFi.  netTALK is the world's first low-cost wireless VoIP telephone device.  This plugs into the modem or your computer or just operate from any WIFI connection.  Not only do you get free calls to the United States and Canada but for a low fee, you can also make international calls.  




There are many benefits to netTALK:

  • One free year of service and afterwards, only $29.95 a year plus tax.  Imagine the savings you will incur with this!
  • New call blocking feature so no more annoying calls from those you don't want to talk to.
  • Caller ID as well to screen those telemarketers.
  • Choose your own phone number which is a big plus if you are one of those that have had the same number for years.
  • Wi-Fi enabled.
  • Live tech support, seven days a week.
  • Friend or family ahve a DUO?  Phone calls are free even internationally!
  • 3-way calling and conference calling so if you are the small business owner, what a great way to bring more savings into your business plan.
  • Enhanced 911 and 411 directory assistance.
  • Call waiting and call forwarding.
  • Visual voice mail <-- this is great!  I love being able to see my voice mails.
  • Video phone application as you don't want to deny your parents a chance to see the little ones!

My Review:

I have tried it and can honestly say I like it better than my existing service which is through Vonage.  I like the ease of set up, the ability to have three ways to connect and not have to worry about having to have my phone modem connected to the wireless internet modem which limits many possibilities for a phone and fax set up.  With netTALK, I just used my existing WiFi.  My area wasn't quite in the system but that wasn't a problem as I am able to just use my existing number.  I also had crystal clear sound and no interruptions.

Since you get a free year of service, it's really a great deal priced at $64.95 plus tax.  It's available at Target Stores as I can vouch for that since I just saw it at my local Target.  It's also available at other leading retailers.  

Recommend or Not Recommend?  I would definitely recommend it.


netTALK also has a new and free Android App (works on most Android devices) that provides Free Calling throughout the US and Canada with the option to add low-cost international TALK credits to make calls from anywhere to anywhere in the world (with cell phone / WiFi service) without running up cell phone minutes or roaming charges. Great for traveling and keeping in touch with family and friends abroad! The app is available free at www.nettalk.com  and at Google Play.

One lucky reader will win their own netTALK DUO WiFi!

Every state has its own treasures and it's fun to find them.  I have lived in many states but my favorite will be Indiana given the amount of time I have called Indiana home.  I was born there, raised there, spend most of my adult hood there and am looking forward to calling it home again.  Part of my family makes Indiana their home as well.  My parents and sister live in southern Indiana and my brother lives in northern Indiana.  Northern Indiana is special to me because I grew up there but southern Indiana is also special due to many memories.  A few week's ago, I was able to visit my family and my usual trek includes stopping at some of the sites such as the George Rogers Clark Memorial.  

 

 
 
 


This national park site was built in 1936, if memory serves me correctly, and pays homage to a man who should be celebrated and remembered more.  George Rogers Clark was a trailblazer fighting for our country during a time where we were still building our country.  He was involved in many battles and took back Fort Sackville from the British.  He's the overlooked brother of the other infamous Clark.



I love Indiana history and could go on and on but I won't.  I wanted to share our pictures.  The girls had so much fun visiting.  The one thing I will note, we went to a park that had plaques and one was incorrect in it's information of George Rogers Clark by imprinting his name incorrectly.  One would think that historical markers could be accurate especially when that person was so monumental to the area.
