SHARE Food Program - Review
July 11, 2008 | 1 Comment
As promised in Episode 41 - Half Price Groceries, I’ve posted photos of my first experience with the Share Food Program, known in my region as Share Colorado. My overall thoughts? Terrific!
This is the package my mother purchased for $25. It included an assortment of meats. Yes, you read those packages correct - they even had ORGANIC selections and name brands!
This was the Basic Package that I purchased. It had a smaller selection of meat but included fresh produce.
Close up time! Check out those bananas… no rush to eat them the minute I got them home. Fantastic!
The fresh lettuce was great on the hamburgers that came in this meal package! The plums were gone first. I couldn’t have chosen a better selection if I had done it myself.
This was from the Pantry Box I purchased. Some very basic staple items all kitchens should have plus a few extras: Tuna, beans, noodles, soup, peanut butter and jelly.
Can you buy everything on this page for $65 or less? I’d like to see you try! Trust me on this one, just locate a local program and start participating. If you eat, you qualify!

As promised in Episode 41 - Half Price Groceries, I’ve posted photos of my first experience with Angel Food Ministries. My overall thoughts? Fantastic!
All this for $30. Think you can beat that at the grocery store with the same products? I dare you to try! You let me know if you score a deal and have a coupon for all these items, OK? 
Close up time! Yeah, that’s fresh eggs, meat & frozen vegetables! Even breakfast is covered with pancake mix!
Even got the kids covered with tator tots, pudding cups and Mac & Cheese!
So what are you waiting for? Find your local host at Angel Food Ministries.

Description:
This cell phone is designed for a child. It’s made to fit their small hands, with only 5 keys for them to use that can be programmed by you with the numbers you want your child to be able to call. It also comes with no contract, just prepaid time.
Review:
With the come and go world my family lives in I wanted my children to have a way to get hold of me if necessary. I had heard some of the horror stories from my friends of their children and cell phones. I didn’t think I wanted all that but still I knew I would feel more comfortable if my children could reach me any time from anywhere.
I found this neat little phone. It’s made just for children. The way it’s designed makes it easy for children to handle. It’s bright and colorful and has lots of neat sounds that any child will like.
The best part is that I program in the numbers I want my child to be able to call. They are pin protected so they can’t change them, erase them or add numbers to it. It’s also prepaid. No contracts to tie us down or take all our hard earned money.
It fits right in my child’s backpack making it much easier for them to carry. It also helps with the “I forgot where I put it” syndrome we seem to have at our house.
It’s easy to set up and get going and it’s very easy for my children to understand and use. I feel much better knowing that they are within just a phone call if they need me or if I need them.

How I Spent My Summer Vacation - Review

How I Spent My Summer Vacation

Description:
This is a fairy tale story about a little boy and his wild imagination. Filled with colorful pictures and a rhyming tone this book is perfect for children age 3 to 7 to learn to use their imaginations to the fullest.
Review:
This is a cute little book. It begins with a young boy in his classroom telling the story of how he spent his summer vacation. He winds a tale about cowboys, trains, cattle stampedes and much more that will keep your child interested from beginning to end.
I don’t want to ruin the story for you or your child so I won’t tell you anymore about the story itself, but I will tell you it’s very imaginative and will keep your child wanting more. This book would be a great addition to any classroom or home library. Reading it the first day back to school after summer would open up a new world for any child.
The story rhymes so it keeps the children interested. The pictures are bright and exciting from the classroom to the cowboy trails. My children likes to open it and just look at the pictures, even though it’s been read enough times to them they can recite the whole story. Sometimes they change things just a little in their version but it’s cute and shows me they have learned from this book. They are using their imaginations and having a lot of fun too.
I’m glad I found this book and may just have to pass it on to my child’s teacher to read to the class. I have visions of some wild stories being made up by her class by the time they are finished. It never hurts to encourage ones imagination and this book will help your child to find the one inside them.
