This child’s gardening tool set
Review:
Most of my time is spent in my garden. My children like to be out there with me but I’m always afraid they will get hurt on the garden tools. I wanted them to be able to spend time with Mom, help in the garden if they wanted to and still be safe.
I found this little garden tool set. It has worked great with my children. Although I wish each tool had it’s own handle so both the kids could play at the same time. They still have a lot of fun with it and have decided to start their own garden next year.
The different tool heads are interchangeable. The kids have a great time with the shovel. I find small holes dug all over the yard. The rake is great too. The only thing is they haven’t really gotten down pat the fact that once they dig the hole they can use the rake to put the dirt back. I usually find it in the grass along the way.
I don’t think they have ever used the fruit picker. At least not to pick fruit with. It’s cute though and the kids have used it to catch the little golf balls and other items they find to throw back and forth.
This little garden set is a lot of fun for my children. It’s not used much in the garden, but they still find ways of entertaining themselves with it for hours. That’s enough for me because an entertained child is a happy child.

This DVD gives you the information you need to keep your children safe and happy on the Internet. Divided up in chapters so they can be easily accessed this DVD includes sections on healthy internet habits, expert advice on setting up parental guidelines and even on social networking.
Review:
Do you have a teenager who is constantly on the computer? It can be as scary and nerve wracking as letting them borrow the car on a Friday night. In fact for me it was worse because I wasn’t sure what might be available for them to access and find.
The The Internet and Your Kids: Healthy Habits for a Safe Online Home
I can set up some parental codes now. I of course knew they were on the computer, but how do you know what to block. I mean yes there are sites you are going to automatically know to block, but those aren’t the only ones out there. It helped me to find the right things to block and how to use the block to make sure all these types of things were included.
The 16 healthy habits for Internet safety came in very handy. In just a few minutes I began to feel better about my teenager’s safety. Believe it or not my teenager was even pretty receptive to most of them. This even included some of the ideas about social networking and the MySpace site.
If you are concerned about your child and the Internet invest in this DVD. Even those of us who think we know may come away with some things that will be helpful. Keeping my child safe is of the utmost importance to me. This DVD and the expert advice it gave me has helped me to do just that.

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.

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.
