Product Reviews and Giveaways

It’s no secret that the ipad is very popular these days. However, you might not know that children are using their parent’s ipads as much as they do.  The Ipad is not only for us adults. It’s a great learning tool for children. My Kids love to play learning games on the Ipad. With so many to choose from you will find something for all ages!

I recently was invited to test out the Animal Spinner app. My Kids are a little too old for this app,but this would have been great for them if they were younger. I decided that I was going to keep it on my ipad for the smaller kids that always seem to want to play with my Ipad.

The app includes:

* 12 Farm Animals

* Full Sound and Voice Overs

* Colorful and Fun Images

* Designed to Teach and Entertain

If you have a small child under 3 I would recommend this app. For only 99 cents you can’t beat it.

As parents we all know that the world is rapidly changing into a global environment for our kids.  So it is essential that they are exposed to foreign languages.  The problem for most kids though is that they compare the experience of learning a foreign language with learning math; difficult to understand and boring!  Guess what? Problem solved! Welcome to Mango Languages; an online language learning software that uses innovative and fun methods to teach languages.

The easy to use interface means that getting started is a breeze, even for kids.  No more boring classrooms; as you download the software right to your computer and move at your own pace.  Do you have one child starting Spanish?  Another needing some help in French?  And have you always wanted to learn Mandarin yourself?  No problem, as Mango Languages covers over 25 languages.  I also love how it isn’t just a raw memorization tool.  Although it begins with flash card style memory exercises that move you at your pace; once you learn the basic words it teaches you how to use them in the proper context, and the flow of language in different cultures.

It doesn’t matter if you are just starting off, or just need a little brushing up.  You can move at your own pace, and there is a little something for everyone to learn at all levels.  We started using it in our home and the kids love it!  My son hated learning Spanish in the classroom, but now he has a 98!  Go Dre!  On top of all of that, the company offers a 30 day refund guarantees if you aren’t satisfied, so there is nothing to lose! Go get it today!

Now for the great part… Mango Languages is giving one of my readers a code for one online program in addition to the On The Go audio bundle, valued at $200.  To Enter head on on over to the site and look around then come back and tell me which one you would pick.. I will pick the lucky winner 3/2/2011 @ Noon EST

It’s cold and we have snow here in GA! Lots of snow for us!  So that mean’s it’s no better time to eat warm soup!  I recently was sent some new Progresso soups to review and up in till now, I haven’t been able to try them. I must say I loved them. I admit I am not a big soup eater any other time then winter.  I was Sent Chicken Tortilla and Progresso Light New England Clam Chowder. My Favorite was the Chicken Tortilla.  At First when I seen the can, I was not sure this would be something that I liked. I actually loved it!  It wasn’t spicy enough so I added hot sauce, because if you know me you know how I get down with my hot sauce!  It’s a great tasting soup and I am going out on a limb by telling you to GO TRY IT!
