As parents, we know how important it is to teach our kids to read. I have always been the type of parent that feels that it’s never too early to start teaching our kids stuff even before pre-k! Let’s face it education should always start at home.  That is why I am happy to share with you a great deal going on at Kohl’s! Now through April 5, Kohl’s Department Stores is offering exclusive hardcover Beginner Books and coordinating plush toys for just $5 each.

Kids will delight as they begin their journey into independent reading with the exclusive editions that include:

Put Me in the Zoo 

Go, Dog. Go! 

The Nose Book 

Hand, Hand, Fingers

Parents will not only be proud of their little one’s effort but to support the Kohl’s Cares merchandise program knowing Kohl’s donates 100 percent of the net profit to children’s health and education initiatives nationwide.

In addition, Kohl’s is offering fabulous cookbooks for adults for just $5:

Cook This, Not That – encouraging healthy options while creating delicious meals;

Delish – Just Four Ingredient Fast – helping you take the hassle out of meal planning.

 

My Thoughts:

I have always been a big supporter when it comes to the Kohl’s Care products. They have always been great values but the best part you know you are giving back.  Companies that give back to the community always get my support!  I was sent 2 different books and plush toys in exchange for this post and as always my daughter loved them.

The plush toys are amazing and of course, who don’t love Dr. Seuss books? We already had the books so she has decided to keep the plush toys for herself and give the books to my 4-year-old little niece.  We know she is going to love them.

As many of you know I gave up my long time addiction to Soda last year.  However, I still like to enjoy drinks other than water at times. So, when I was asked to review Cascade Ice I was thrilled to give it a try. Cascade Ice is a zero-Calorie, sugar free flavored sparkling water that eliminates all the unnecessary  “EXTRAS” that I am trying to keep out of my diet like sugar, carbs, caffeine and gluten.  The best part is Cascade ice is available in 21 great flavors!

 

As you can see, I was sent 5 different flavors to try and of course, the kids wanted to also test them.  I was actually shocked that I loved all 5 flavors, which is a first. I admit I’m picky when it comes to taste.  The flavor was right on and didn’t leave that “after taste” like many of the other flavored sparkling waters that I have tried in the past.  The girls both loved the strawberry banana the best and my son said they were all “Ok” but not something he would prefer.  I think the biggest shocker is we all agreed that the coconut was “different” but in a good way.  It has a great fresh taste that I wasn’t expecting.

My Final Thoughts:

I really like them and plan to buy more.  After reading other reviews I must admit that the cocktail mixers really have my interest and feel they would be the perfect match for a “Mom’s night in” so I will definitely be looking for those the next time I go shopping.
