If you are a regular follower of my blog then you know how much I love Teething Bling pendants.

If you have not heard of Teething Bling then I am about to tell you about a product that I think is stylish and practical all wrapped in one to make an amazing product.

That is a photo of the Amethyst Donut Shaped Pendant and is one of my favorites. Honestly thought, it is truly hard to find just one favorite. I love so many of them.

If you are not sure what the Teething Bling is for, it is a teether and necklace all wrapped into one. Makes for a gorgeous and styles pendant around your neck and a teething product made from a food-safe, phthalate-free, federally-approved silicone for your little one. With a Teething Bling around your neck, your little one will be able to use it instead of your collar bone, shirt, other metal necklace and so on. Brilliant idea and amazing product.

To be honest, my little one is too old now and does not need a Teething Bling anymore, but that does not stop me from sporting the bling around my neck. I find it stylish just as itself :)

The newest member to the Teething Bling family is the Ring Pendant.

We are so happy to announce that one of our fans will be the lucky winner of a Teethling Bling Ring Pendant of their color choice, courtesy of Smart Mom Jewelry.

The contest is open to Residents of Canada & the USA who are over the age of 18 years old.

I feel extremely lucky to live so close to the Capilano Suspension Bridge. It is a breathtaking to say the least.

I could probably not write one more word and just show pictures to you of the Capliano Suspension Bridge and you would want to be going. I will write a few words though, but first a picture.

There is enormous history to the Capliano Suspension Bridge that starts back in 1888 when "George Grant Mackay, a Scottish civil engineer and land developer, arrived in the young city of Vancouver in Canada. Mackay purchased 6,000 acres of dense forest on either side of Capilano River and built a cabin on the very edge of the canyon wall. The bridge, and Mackay's cabin, became a popular destination for adventurous friends, dubbed Capilano Tramps. After his death, the hemp rope bridge was replaced by a wire cable bridge in 1903."

You can read more about the History of the Capilano Suspension Bridge on their Official Website under History.

You can also check out all the Awards that the Capliano Suspension Bridge has won.

I keep saying Capliano Suspension Bridge, but there is more to this attraction than a breathtaking Bridge.

"Originally built in 1889, Capilano Suspension Bridge stretches 450 feet (137m) across and 230 feet (70m) above Capilano River. Since then much has been added to the twenty-seven acre park. CLIFFWALK is the park's newest attraction - a cantilevered walkway clinging to the granite cliff high above Capilano Canyon. Treetops Adventure, seven suspension bridges through the evergreens taking you up to 100 feet (30m) above the forest floor, offers a unique squirrel's eye perspective of the forest. Guided nature tours, the Kids' Rainforest Explorer program and the Living Forest exhibit enhance this unique rainforest encounter. Enjoy musical entertainment and First Nations culture. Take photos at the Totem Park and with the Capilano Tramps. Top it off with a visit to the gift shop full of quality merchandise from all over Canada and great homemade fudge! It's all in a day's fun at Capilano Suspension Bridge."

I recently had a chance to try out the Lalabee Bathworks line of products and I was very impressed with all of their products.

I am always very interested in trying out creams, soaps and bum balms because my little ones in my house have eczema. So we are always searching for great products that work well on helping their eczema and not stinging their skin when applied.

Every time I get a new product to try, I try it on myself first. I really love how silky the Lalabee Bathworks cream is. The gel body shop is really nice as well.

For both products you do not need to use a lot at all. The cream covers very well with a small amount and leaves the skin silky smooth and feeling refreshed. A small dab of the soap on a sponge or bath puff cleans the entire body. So both these products go a long way.

I am also so happy to say that the Lalabee Bathworks products worked amazingly well on my little ones for their eczema. The products did not sting them and left their skin nicely moisturized and feeling so soft. These are products that I will for sure rely on to use for my little ones.

Right now I am having an Auction on my Facebook Page and you can bid on some Lalabee Bathworks Products there, but only until January 7th, 2012 when the Auction Closes.

Additionally, courtesy of Lalabee Bathworks, we are giving away three Bottom Balms to three of our lucky fans.

Howard B. Wigglebottom

Have you heard of Howard B. Wigglebottom? He is the adorable rabbit that you see pictured above and his mission along with all the writers, artists, designers, educators, therapists, teachers and parents that make up the the non profit corporation called the We Do Listen Foundation is:

"We create entertaining, educational books, animated books, songs, lessons, posters, games and activities to help young children be better listeners, deal with bullies and violence, learn important life lessons and feel good about themselves. Children who learn these skills will grow up better informed to resolve conflicts and will be empowered to change the world."

I recently read the Howard B. Wigglebottom book "The Power of Giving: A Christmas Story."

Howard B. Wigglebottom and the Power of Giving: A Christmas Story

I have to say that I am a huge fan of Howard B. Wigglebottom books just from reading this one book. I am very excited to read the rest of the books and to discover the engaging ways that the creators of the books, Howard Binkow and Susan F. Cornelison teach valuable life lessons within a wonderful story and through an adorable rabbit.

I loved the way that the message of sharing and being thankful for what we have came across in The Power of Giving: A Christmas Story came across. The book definitely engages everyone through its beautiful and colorful illustration and through the power of words to create and touch our heart and emotions. It is almost impossible to close a Howard B. Wigglebottom book after reading it and to not feel the emotions that Howard B. Wigglebottom himself portrayed to the reader in the story.

I am always a supporter of any organization such as the We Do Listen Foundation that works at making our little ones' lives the best they can be.

There are currently 10 books in the Howard B. Wigglebottom series and they cover everything from bullying, listening, sportsmanship and much more. Here is a list of the books available right now:

Howard B. Wigglebottom Learns to Listen
Howard B. Wigglebottom Listens to His Heart
Howard B. Wigglebottom Learns About Bullies
Howard B. Wigglebottom Learns About Mud and Rainbows: When Parents Fight
Howard B. Wigglebottom Learns It's OK to Back Away
Howard B. Wigglebottom and the Monkey on His Back: A Tale About Telling the Truth
Howard B. Wigglebottom and the Power of Giving: A Christmas Story
Howard B. Wigglebottom Learns Too Much of a Good Thing is Bad
Howard B. Wigglebottom Blends in Like Chameleons: A Fable About Belonging
Howard B. Wigglebottom Learns About Sportsmanship

At the time of this blog post the Howard B. Wigglebottom books are on sale for 60% off which means that you can purchase one book for $6.00 instead of the regular $15.00 cover price. If you choose to purchase all 10 books at once, then you receive even more savings as you get all 10 books for $50.00.

Here is a list of Awards that the Howard B. Wigglebottom books have won:

Best Home School Product of the Year Children's Award
Learning Magazine Teachers' Choice for Children's Book Award
National Parenting Publications Honor Award
US Booknews.com/Best Children's Book of the Year Finalist
Independent Publishers Award Winner
Art Directors Association of Iowa Award of Excellence

"The Victoria Chart Company™ was founded in 2004 by Victoria Ballard. Like any parent who wants the best for their child, Victoria wanted to do all that she could for her two children, particularly, her son who was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy at 18 months.

Victoria discovered that a reward system she developed worked fabulously well for her children. It built their self-esteem helping them to become confident and, most importantly, proud of their progress.

The system worked so well that she has dedicated her time to creating tools for parents and professionals to help children and their families realise the power of developmental progress that comes from the simple process of Encourage & Praise®.

Today, The Victoria Chart Company™ is internationally recognised and is a specialist in creating products for positive development in children. Victoria and her team continue to research and develop new products for parents, carers and professionals to help children succeed.

In addition to the consumer range Victoria also designs bespoke products on behalf of top UK organisations supporting the families in their care."

The Victoria Chart Company products are already available in the USA and we are so excited to announce that they are coming to Canada.

Here are the shopping links to The Victoria Chart Company products for US Customers.

I recently was lucky enough to be able to try The Victoria Chart Company products and I am in love with them.

I am using the reward charts for my 4 year old and 9 year old right now. The excitement from both my girls from the moment we opened the charts and set them up was incredible. My daughters' reactions reinforced to me that children love to know they are doing a great job.

My 4 year old asks constantly throughout the day if she is getting a reward sticker for eating, dressing herself, being polite, kind and the list goes on.

My 9 year old is with us part time and she said she could call every day that she is not here to tell me what she had done so I could check her boxes off.

What an impact these reward charts are having if my girls are constantly thinking about them throughout the day when they are home or away. It reminds me of way back when I was in school and we received gold stars for spelling. I still can see that chart behind the classroom door with my name and the long line of gold stars. I was so proud of those stars. This is the same affect that The Victoria Reward Charts are having with my girls. They are so proud of their reusable sticker rewards.

There are three age oriented Victoria Reward Charts. One for ages one and up, four and up and seven and up.

My Big Star Chart (1 yr+)

My Growing Up Chart (4 yrs+)

My Credit Chart (7 yrs+)

We are using all three of the above charts right now. My 4 year old is using the two younger age oriented charts and my 9 year old is using the chart aimed at children aged seven and older.

I love that the stickers for the charts are reusable and they even provide tags for you to personalize for a specific chore or behavior that you might specifically wish to focus on with your children.

There truly are so many amazing features for each of The Victoria Reward Charts that I could go on listing them here forever. I cannot think of one thing that I wish they had added or included in the charts as they truly seem to have thought of everything.

The Victoria Chart Company also has a Vacation Journal and a Meal Planner Chart. I have not tried these products out yet, but I am excited to try them out next.

To celebrate The Victoria Chart Company products coming to Canada, we are lucky enough to offer a giveaway open to Residents of Canada only who are the age of majority. The contest will close on December 3rd, 2011 at 8:00pm Pacific Time.

The winner will be contacted by email and will have 24 hours from the sent time on the email to respond in order to claim the prize. If a response is not received in time then that person will be disqualified and a new winner will be drawn. The same rules apply to all re-draws.

The winner will be able to pick The Victoria Chart Company reward chart of their choice.

HOW TO ENTER THE CONTEST

1. Tell me what you would love to work on with your children if you had one of The Victoria Chart Company charts.

2. Like The Victoria Chart Company of Facebook and then come back and leave a comment on this blog post telling me that you have liked them.

3. Like us on Facebook :) and then leave me a comment here letting me know that you have done this.

4. Share this contest on Facebook and/or Twitter and then leave me a comment here telling me that you have shared the contest. You can share as much as you want but you can only leave one daily comment for an entry.

As always our contest is for the prize as described above. The winner will get to choose one chart of their choice. Please only enter if you wish to win the rewards chart as there is no option to exchange it for any other product or to take cash instead of the prize.

If you were wondering how you were going to survive the rest of the school year, you just found what I think and have found to be an amazing resource for helping to keep the days organized and everyone knowing what is expected of them.

Good luck in our contest.

For nearly 50 years, Educational Insights has been a trusted source for teachers and parents for quality, award-winning educational products in math, science, social studies, language, language arts, reading, early childhood, Spanish, ELL, ESL teaching and classroom management."

Educational Insights "products invite children to explore fine motor skills, social skills, creativity, theme-based learning, imaginative play, time telling, money math and measurement.

"Product types include games, puzzles, card games, board games, wooden puzzles, classroom kits, electronics, reading manipulatives, math manipulatives, pocket charts, activity books, activity kits, science kits, teacher resources and classroom organization tools."

As everyone knows, I absolutely love Educational Insights and their educational toys. The most recent Educational Insights toy that we got to test out was the GeoSafari Dino Digs Velociraptors.

The GeoSafari Dino Digs have got to be one of the most amazing educational toys around. They are so absolutely fun to do. If your little one loves dinosaurs then this is an awesome toy for you to do together or for your little one to do on their own. Personally I think it is a wonderful educational and bonding toy to do together. Honestly, I think that the adults will have just as much fun as the kids with this toy....I know I did. :)

You can get the GeoSafari Dino Digs in either the Velociraptors, Triceratops, or Tyrannosaurus Rex. We did the Velociraptors and are looking forward to doing the other GeoSafari Dino Digs.

I have to admit that this can be a messy venture with quite a bit of dust, but the overall experience is well worth the mess. Just make sure to set up on a washable surface and one that your Dino Dig can be left there until it is complete. Make sure if your doing the Dino Dig with a little one that you remind them to be gentle with the bones as they dig and they have to get them out by digging and brushing and not pulling them out. Those would be my top recommendations when doing your Dino Dig.

I love that you put the bones together with a wax that is included and that allow the dinosaurs once complete to be re-positioned. So once put together the dinosaurs can be re-positioned into different positions and stances on the display tray that is also provided.

Educational Insights is going to provide one lucky MomMomOnTheGo fan with a GeoSafari Dino Digs of their own. The contest is open to residents of Canada and the USA who are over the age of 18 years old. The contest will close on November 20th, 2011 at 8:00 pm Pacific Time.
