My sister, Jacqueline, recently along with her husband and 9 month old daughter, we fortunate to be able to review <a href="http://theshaidee.com/" target="_blank">The Shaidee</a>. The Shaidee is new product created by a mom to fill the need of shading our little ones from the harmful rays of the sun, while being able to continue with the closeness of bonding created by a carrier. So below you will find Jacqueline's review and thoughts on the Shaidee.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.theshaidee.com/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsBw_9c-Zk5wxroM2r3RbzD_yRm3P1ivdWisDxrVzr50gkgvVy1t3Cki3QMepGwcx762UQAhaFhGkgnan4WeBEeeqAnkJRYY8LlnOXC5xScUVLjVUvudwcWfGreuDHjpr8HA9WlG4PCziS/s1600/999070_497763223651061_805992116_n.jpg" height="247" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
My husband and I love to cruise and we booked a Caribbean cruise with our eight month old daughter. The first of many, we hope. People (mainly my MIL) were asking me why I would want to take an eight month old baby on a cruise to the heat of the Caribbean, was I crazy? Truthfully, there are many reasons....we love to cruise, I am on maternity leave so I'm not using my vacation leave, we want our daughter to travel with us in the future and wanted to start young, and it's the Caribbean, need I say more? Any way, all these questions prompted me to search for products that we could use to keep baby shaded and cool. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
I came across <a href="http://theshaidee.com/" target="_blank">the Shaidee</a> when searching the internet for something that would allow me to use my carrier on the trip. I have the Ergobaby carrier in BLACK, a petunia pickle bottom design. What was I thinking when I bought a black carrier? I guess I was thinking it's gorgeous. My daughter loves the carrier, she naps in the carrier and both of us love the closeness. So I knew I would be using the carrier on the cruise, but how to keep baby cool? </div>
<div class="p1">
The Shaidee, I hoped? I searched high and low to see where I could find something similar, yet there was nothing. I sat there and thought, why didn't I invent this. The Shaidee is very innovative; there seems to be nothing like it on the market. The only option I had, other than the Shaidee was to carry an umbrella or throw a receiving blanket over the front of the carrier - both options were not practical. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
I received the Shaidee to review just a week before our trip. It took just two days to receive. The first thing I noticed when I received the package was how light the Shaidee is. Weight was a concern for us as when cruising with a baby we were taking everything, including the kitchen sink with us, with all the diapers, wipes, food pouches, formula (just in case).... According to <a href="http://theshaidee.com/" target="_blank">the Shaidee</a> website it is just 4.5 ozs, we never weighed it but definitely it was light. Also the package was very small, opening the box the Shaidee is in it's own handy carrier it is rolled small and takes up only about 4" x 12" of space...again, thinking of the luggage this is a great benefit. The cover fit under our umbrella stroller storage when I brought my carrier along and needed to have it available. The Shaidee also fit in our diaper bag easily.</div>

<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Ok. So with all the preparing to get ready I didn't practice using the Shaidee nor was I able to take the box on the trip due to limited space. I didn't put the Shaidee on before leaving. Oh no, right? Not a problem. I was by myself while my husband was swimming and it was so bright. I had baby in the carrier and took out the Shaidee and thought I would have difficulty putting it on alone for the first time but I was able to easily put the Shaidee on by myself. It was super simple to use. It worked like a charm. I could tell that the baby was blocked from the sun. The Shaidee did not interfere with the carrier or baby. The fabric is soft and the Shaidee is flexible so there is no worry about irritating baby. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
The only thing I might recommend is a small window/ opening that closes with Velcro to see the baby through. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
I may also recommend an extension of the Shaidee of a UV cover that could hang down to cover the front/ legs maybe if the new Bug screen for Shaidee has uv protection.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Just as an FYI, <a href="http://theshaidee.com/" target="_blank">the Shaidee</a> is just $39.99 and a great investment for those who like baby wearing.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="p1">
All in all I would definitely recommend the Shaidee to anyone who has a carrier. It appears to be adaptable to all carriers. It allows mom to use the carrier and know her baby is protected from the harsh rays of the sun and enjoy baby wearing through the seasons and in the heat of the Caribbean. Click <a href="http://theshaidee.com/" target="_blank">here</a> to find the Shaidee. And take your baby on that sun destination vacation, just get a Shaidee and protect baby. Enjoy. </div>

Thanks Jacqueline for the informative review and for introducing us to the Shaidee! I wish I had known of this when my littles were babies!</div>

<br />
Well, it is March here in Canada but not looking much like it... received 15-20 cm of snow here yesterday with windchill warnings as well, but the day before that brought to us sun and +9 (or higher) degrees Celsius. And this the reason for Spring to be all but a dream. (Oh and I am dreaming that it comes soon... even though it says 8 days it seems like it will be forever a dream.)<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Great news...</span></b><br />
I received a email from <a href="http://lovablelabels.ca/" target="_blank">Lovable Labels</a> that seemed give me hope that Spring and even Summer were not far off. Lovable Labels is having a March Early Bird Sale on their <a href="http://lovablelabels.ca/product/Sale-Ultimate-Camp-Packs/" target="_blank">Ultimate Camp Pack</a>!!!! As some of my friends are already planning Summer Camp programs this is a great pack to add to the need to label every item your child will take with them to camp, grandparents' house, or daily activities they will be participating in. Because as we all know, kids tend to lose their belongings whether it be misplacing, forgetting or someone else taking it by mistake due to having the same one themselves. It never fails that kids will lose it! So the <a href="http://lovablelabels.ca/" target="_blank">Lovable Labels</a> Ultimate Camp Pack is a great way to prevent that from happening this summer!!!!<br />
<br />
The <b>Early Bird Sale</b> is only good until <b><span style="font-size: large;">March 31st, 2014</span></b>!!! You can buy early and save BIG on the Ultimate Camp Pack!!!!<br />
<br />
<b>What is the Early Bird Pricing (expiring 03/31/14), you might ask??? </b><br />
Get the <a href="http://lovablelabels.ca/product/Sale-Ultimate-Camp-Packs/" target="_blank">Ultimate Camp Pack</a> for only <b><span style="font-size: large;">$39.95</span></b>... a $5 savings!!!!! For the big pack of labels (over 150 labels) on Lovable Labels!!!!<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Let's talk about Labels....</span></b><br />
I was offered to review the Ultimate Camp Pack in return for being able to give my readers an opportunity to win their own <a href="http://www.lovablelabels.ca/product/Sale-Ultimate-Camp-Packs/" target="_blank">Lovable Label Ultimate Camp Pack</a>!!!! So having 2 kids it was hard to decide which one would be in need of the labels, but it came down to who was in the room at the time of me responding to the email... my son... so he chose the "Metal Man" design for his labels. They arrived at we started labelling his things!!!! He loved the robots and the fact that there were different variations of robots on the labels, some had 1 eye and some had 2 eyes. I loved the colours, bright and noticeable! Not something that could get misplaced for who its owner is when looking for the items at the end of the school day. Did I mention that he was in Junior Kindergarten and loving it!!!! Since starting, he has come home with several items missing, first week it was his water bottle that took a week to get back, same item taken by a classmate who thought it was his own (where were these labels when I needed them????) Well, we don't have to worry any more!!!! (Excited Mama here!) We tried a couple of the items in various settings of their features to check out how the labels stood up. We put the container in the dishwasher and it stood to a hot washing cycle. We put his winter jacket in the washer and dryer and low and behold the label stayed where we had put it. I also tried to pry the label on the spoon off and had no luck at getting it off the spoon, so I was extremely happy because the spoon was a Thomas the Tank Engine character, my son's favourite.. so if it was lost there would be a sad little boy for sure! We also labelled his new kicks, he walked around in them and the labels didn't move from where we stuck them!!! Overall, Lovable Labels make a great product that stands up to the test when it comes to staying where they are put and help make sure the things come home!!! There was also 2 key tags, which my son called his new necklace and was so excited... he thought they were dog tags (which I though was so cute!)<br />
Bonus to being able to test these labels is the variety that you get with the pack... over 150 labels varying from clothing, shoe, slim, and square as well as tags!!! The designs for the labels are so cute and suitable to girls and boys with themes or no theme!<br />

I was given the opportunity to try a great product this past month... <a href="http://www.trustedhealthproducts.com/" target="_blank">OraMD</a> "Mouth Doctor". It comes to you from Trusted Health Products. OraMD is a 100% pure form of a liquid toothpaste, mouthwash and breath freshener. It has the ingredients that eliminate 22 harmful bacterias which are the leading cause of gum disease and other oral health issues we face today. The OraMD contains the oils of peppermint, spearmint and almond. These help to create and maintain a clean and healthy environment inside the mouth, and is able to get into the hard to reach places your toothbrush cannot and get the areas healthy. It is safe to use on children as young as 3 years of age, as well as being safe for those with braces, veneers, bonds, crowns, fillings and dentures. It is also available in an Extra Strength formula. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is formulated with the oils that have properties of health on their own. Oil of Peppermint has the antibacterial properties, while oil of Spearmint have anti-inflammatory properties. It has no flouride or alcohol, plus the abrasiveness, or the harsh chemicals you find in toothpastes. And the OraMD is vegan as well.</div>

Review:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I started using this and from day 1, I felt the initial burning type sensation from the use in my mouth. Thus, I chalk that up to the bacteria in my mouth, which shocked me with the thought. After 2 days, the sensation disappeared and my mouth & breath seemed to be so much fresher for longer. I used it on my toothbrush as a toothpaste as well as once a day gargled the OraMD. The taste is something that needs some getting use to but if you get over that the fresh breath and confidence knowing that the air you exhale isn't gamey, it is moot. I wasn't able to get my kids to try it the smell detoured them immediately. However, I will attempt this once again someday... the Princess might be game but we shall see. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I like that it is natural and not made with a list of things I can't produce. I still remember growing up in rural New Brunswick (Canada), and having my father tell me about chewing spruce gum as a freshener for his breath growing up as his father and siblings did because toothpaste was a luxury for them. And then one day he brought it home, I tried to chew the spruce gun... and when I first started using the OraMD I was immediately taken back to the taste. </div>

First let me tell you about the <a href="http://www.lovablelabels.ca/product/holiday-fun-stickies/" target="_blank">Holiday Fun Stickies</a>. These little labels come in 4 colour choices (pink, blue, green and purple) and in the pack you receive one colour but 4 cute designs (owl, snowman, cat and reindeer; all dressed in Santa hats). There are 16 personalized labels, with up to 25 characters, that come in the pack. These labels have the same great properties that are found in Lovable Labels products, being that they are UV resistant, Dishwasher and Microwave safe, and are that same great peel and stick. They are only around for a limited time... disappearing on December 31st, 2013!!! They are priced at $9.95 (plus shipping)!<br />
<br />
Now I chose to get the <span style="color: #ea9999;">PINK</span> version of the <a href="http://www.lovablelabels.ca/product/holiday-fun-stickies/" target="_blank">Holiday Fun Stickies</a> so I could use them with my orders as part of my packaging with my handmade business. So I use them to make my presentation packaging more pretty this season. I love that I can get them in <span style="color: #ea9999;">PINK</span> (a newly traditional colour at Holiday time). It works with my business' name... <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Little-Pink-Thread/156038481120026" target="_blank">Little PINK Thread</a>. I adore the cute little animals on the Holiday Fun Stickies. I also found they were easy to use and very sturdy once stuck on my packaging! The price is very reasonable for the fact that they are personalized and have a great holiday theme plus 16 labels in the pack are enough to get packages labelled... These could also be great stocking stuffers for the Holiday season lover or use on making gifts more fun!!!<br />
<br />
Here are how I used my new Fun Stickies...<br />

<br />
Now the second item I received was a set of 3 <a href="http://www.lovablelabels.ca/product/stocking-stuffers/" target="_blank">stocking stuffer </a>labels packs from Lovable Labels as well to review. Now these are just the perfect stocking stuffer for the little ones in your life be they family of friends!!! Each pack was group with 6 sticker labels, 8 Press N' Stick Clothing Dots, 2 shoe labels, and 1 mini metal tag (included and ball chain). The Stocking Stuffers have 7 winter/holiday based designs from penguins to snowmen. These are personalized as well to the ones who you are gifting to, up to 25 characters. You chose one design for all 3 of the Stocking Stuffer packs. These labels are also dishwasher and microwave safe, UV resistant, and Peel & Sitck, plus the clothing DOTs are washer and dryer safe. The Stocking Stuffers come in packs of 3 for $15 (plus shipping). These are available for a limited time (ONLY until December 25, 2013)!!!!<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
For my review, I chose to pick the "Ice Ice Baby" design with cute little penguins, on blue and red background variations!!! The Stocking Stuffers were chosen for my nieces. I chose to use also just their first names for security reasoning. They arrived in cute little packaging, which definitely made an impression on me and I think it will do the same to those who chose to pick them up. They are the perfect size to stick in their gifts... saying "Made Just For You!" on the top. I think they are absolutely the cutest way to help little ones stay organized this Holiday season and into the New Year! I love that you can get these for $5 per child, a really reasonable price for such a useful product!!<br />

I made a crochet fall wreath in the colour combination she mentioned had become a fave to her. Then I made her girls crocheted pencil tubes. I also took the clips and added magnet to the back. I then made a sharpie mug for her with a monogramed yellow rose, that read "Love is all a bloom." I made her a portable dry erase easel with extra papers that can be changed with how they feel!!<br />
<br />
What I received was awesome... a package full of fun treats!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
a skein of luxurious lavender yarn (she knew who to get me that's for sure :) )</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
some Christmas themed washi tape</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a pleated button topped headband (that my 6 yr old daughter stole when she saw it)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and a monogramed canvas bag (which has become my new yarn tote... I love it!)</div>

Well, as the school year is about to commence and has for some of you already... so does the call for students to begin fundraising for their school. All the things that could end up being brought home with them over the next school year could vary from chocolate to wrapping paper to cookie dough.<br />
Well why not think about <a href="http://lovablelabels.ca/">Lovable Labels</a> for this year's program possibilities when your child's school council puts the call out for ideas to raise money this year.<br />
<br />
***Also it is important to note that the Lovable Labels Fundraising program doesn't just centre around schools but can be for daycares/ childcare facilities, sports teams, dance teams, camps along with other groups as well!!!<br />
<br />
The Lovable Labels Fundraising Program is easy to do as well.

Hope everyone has been having a wonderful summer! Here we have had so much excitement... new babies on the way (1 made her arrival just after Princess' birthday and the 2nd is coming at the end of August.) We have been spending time together and now with 2 weeks to go before I become a Mama of 2...yes... both Princess and Monkey are going to school this year... [insert sobbing and tears flowing here.] What is Mama gonna do???<br />
Princess will be entering Grade 1 and attending French Immersion, so we may be making some things for those who would like to learn a second language in September. Monkey is entering Junior Kindergarten. With tears streaming down my face I now confess I don't want them to go back to school. I wish they would stay little forever , I really do!!! I need to turn back the clock to when they were not ready to be independent school attending kids. If anyone else is going through this please comment on how you are dealing with the empty nest for the first time.<br />
<br />
In honour of the school year starting, I have been given the opportunity to try out a little product that will definitely make my daughter's lunch more fun. <a href="http://www.thelunchpunch.com/lp/" target="_blank">Lunch Punch ®</a> is a product that will help you turn those mundane sandwiches into the fun and surprising lunches.<br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>My Review</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The <a href="http://www.thelunchpunch.com/">Lunch Punch®</a> are so neat. We had the opportunity to review the Sandwishes® cutter. It came with 4 designs: a frog prince, a princess, a crown and flowers. </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">They have parts that leave imprints rather that cut out all the parts which give the more detailed look to the cutouts. This made the cutouts much more fun to surprise the kids with.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> These are awesome and a great way to make lunch fun and leave them wanting more fun at lunch. The punches are wonderful and we wish we could have them all. Sandwiches and wraps are a very big staple in lunched here and these cutters are going to make our life more exciting. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We used them on sandwiches both cold and hot and found no problems in cutting either. I am going to try them on tortilla wraps and cheese and veggies throughout the school year! It will be the most fun trying to plan the most interesting lunches for 2 kids this year!!!! We love the fact that the cutters come in many <a href="http://www.thelunchpunch.com/lp/index.php/products/">themes</a> to suit every child! These are a definite must to add to your tools to make lunch less likely to become a boomerang and return home uneaten!!!</span><br />

Adventures in Growing Up... and Confessions of a Needy MamaI call this the "Toothless Wonder!!! Adventures in Growing Up!" because this Mama doesn't wanna except the fact that her baby girl and baby boy are growing up. As I am sure all parents face this as they see the days winding down to the start of the biggest milestone after walking and talking and potty-going... school!<br />
Both the Princess and Monkey are headed to school in September... boy am I dread this milestone immensely. I am not scared that they will not enjoy their new adventures, I know they will love this time of learning and development and independence. I am scared that the need to have Mama around to help. I think I should have called this post "Confessions of a Needy Mama" (so I changed the title a bit.) I have a lot of 'What if...' questions in my head and fear I may have panic attack and perhaps a bout of insomnia as the days inch closer. I have prepared them for to be the best that they can be and taught them right from wrong, although I feel they don't always follow the teaches. But we learn from our mistakes and move on to use them to make use even better.<br />
<br />
On a side note:<br />
Lately, they have been showing less and less restrain when it comes to the rules in the house (I will show you the project I created with regards to the "Rules" next time.) I don't know if it the fact that they have been together for so long this summer or just that point where they know things are changing with the talk of school supplies, school clothes and back to school and all the questions "when do you start school?" It seems that they are acting out more and getting time outs more as well... this Mama's patience is running rather thin. <br />
<br />
Back to the topic at hand... the toothless wonder is the Princess! She got a loose tooth 4 days before she turned 6 and it decided to take the long route out and didn't fall out until yesterday. We had been trying to coax it out and she was getting more upset that we wanted it to fall out that she decided it would fall out when it wanted and no one could change her mind. So yesterday morning, she came into our bedroom talking about the tooth and what she wanted to do that day. She then left and came running in 2 minutes later with her little tooth in her hand and excitement from her voice that it was finally out by her own hand! At that moment this Mama was so proud!<br />
<br />
Here is what she received from 'Twila' the Tooth Fairy...<br />

Have you had your child come home from school, summer camp, sports, or any other extra curricular activity, only to tell you that they lost something?<br />
<br />
I had it happen the other day with Princess.<br />
<br />
Well, now that I am one of those Moms, I have come to value the idea behind the reason for <a href="http://lovablelabels.ca/" target="_blank">Lovable Labels</a>, created by a mom of a little one, and she saw the need for a way to make sure items came home. And along came Lovable Labels. The labels are durable, tough personalized labels that can make it through whatever you or your child can throw at it. They are attractive, bright and eye-catching. The are safe to be put in the microwave or dishwasher, and they are UV resistent and waterproof. They have strong adhesives that make them stay where you put them!!!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://lovablelabels.ca/" target="_blank">Lovable Labels</a> are organized into value packs, birthday party packs, stationary, and household, with the "see a need fill a need" principle, and with the value of the most purposes in mind. You get the greatest value for you money with the value packs, which are created for uses at summer camp, starter packs (newbie users), split pack (more than one child), sports teams (making sure equipment returns with the team), party favours (6 children per pack) and teacher gift set. They also have other wonderful lines available as well.<br />

This pack has a great variety of labels necessary to get your child's belongings back. Be it day camp, week away camp, Vacation Bible School or extra days at daycare or even trips to the grandparents, the "Ultimate Camp Pack" will make sure the belongings become a boomerang and always return home.<br />

<b>Review:</b><br />
We were fortunate enough to receive a <a href="http://www.lovablelabels.ca/product/Ultimate-Camp-Packs/" target="_blank">"Ultimate Camp Pack"</a> to review...<br />
We chose one of the new designs for Princess. It is called <a href="http://www.lovablelabels.ca/product/Ultimate-Camp-Packs/preview/" target="_blank">"Whimsical Love Story"</a>, with Princessy themed icons (crowns, castles, frog princes, and more) that suit her to a "T". They are bright and colourful! She set out to label her things. These labels went on everything from her recital costumes, sun hat, water bottles, and the bag tags have yet to find a home but will soon I am sure of that. I really like the bag tags and will most likely go on her travel bags for summer trip to Grampie and Nana's.<br />
<br />
They are secured by a ball chain and link that you close with pliers for tightened closure.<br />
The clothing labels (Press n' Stick®) are my favourite by far in the "Ultimate Camp Pack" because they stay on the clothes through the washer and dryer (yes we did try it). And trying to remove them off clothing is not an easy deed at all. in fact it is quite a struggle to remove them, so I gave up for fear of destroying the clothing.<br />
<br />
And the same goes for the shoe labels... they are amazing and stay where they are put, gripping the surface with an incredible strength.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I have to say that the adhesive backing on the labels are very very sticky, when you are applying them, which is great and makes them a trustworthy product. The labels make me feel confident that the items will return with her. The labels stay where you put them, making each item like a boomerang and they will be sure to come back to us everyday.<br />
<br />
To be honest, the price point of the "Ultimate Camp Pack" is very reasonable and we will most likely be ordering some for the Monkey as he is to begin his own educational journey this September. And at $44.95, with all the labels you receive in the pack, they have you covered to be confident that the items won't get lost!<br />
<br />
Princess rated the <a href="http://www.lovablelabels.ca/product/Ultimate-Camp-Packs/preview/" target="_blank">Whimsical Love Story</a> labels by Lovable Labels as "Awesome!" and "Pretty!". Her favourite icon was the tiara!<br />

I found Ooka Island after I received an email from my mom one day about an episode of <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/dragonsden/" target="_blank">Dragon's Den</a>, which gives exposure to new business in Canada, similar to the Shark Tank show in the U.S., and sometimes funding in exchange for various different forms of investment and involvement. I approached <a href="http://www.ookaisland.com/" target="_blank">Ooka Island</a> for an opportunity to review the program and showcase a learning resource that would help children learn to read with confidence. They agreed to give me the chance to try the Home Edition of their game program out with both my kids, 5 and 3, for 2 months, in exchange for a review here on the blog.<br />
<br />
<b>What Is Ooka Island?</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Ooka Island, is a learning to read game geared at kids between 3 and 7 years of age. They are from Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Ooka island was founded by <a href="http://ookaisland.com/team/" target="_blank">Dr. Kay MacPhee</a> and <a href="http://ookaisland.com/team/" target="_blank">Jim Barber</a> and with the Ooka Island team have hit the road to better learning full tilt. Ooka Island is available in 3 editions: Home, School and Homeschool. Each with their our processes and purpose that serve the needs of the children involved in a setting that is both progressive and technologically advanced in the use of computers in the classroom.<br />
<br />
The Ooka Island approach to learning is science-based reading using technology to making it fun for kids and enticing them to want to learn more. It is a learn-to-read game geared for Pre-K to Grade 2. The adventures played out on the game teach phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension. The child is unable to move on to the next level until the present level has been accomplished. Ooka Island uses <a href="http://ookaisland.com/eye-ear-reading-method/">Eye/Ear Reading method</a>, a scientifically based learning method which allows each child to learn the 5 basis of learning to read: phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension. The basis around which the Eye/ Ear Method works is to use the child's visual cues paired with auditory skills in order for children to achieve the ability to read. This Eye/ Ear method to learning to read has been embedded throughout the Ooka Island game through the activities in phonic, a built in e-reader, and the levelled and sequential e-books. There are a total of 85 e-books that used in Ooka Island's learning to read game. The words are being learned in the game with the introduction of their individual sounds and blending them to create words. And the end result is the child learning to read through the use their eyes and ears.<br />
Ooka Island uses <a href="http://ookaisland.com/readirect/">ReaDirect™</a> in the program's game, which makes use of algorithms created for the best learning processes to lead the child making use of the Eye/Ear method. It adapts to the needs and learning stages of each child based on their strengths and weaknesses as they go through the game. ReaDirect™ makes Ooka Island a phenomenal learning experience which is unique and one-of-a-kind learning for each child. The pace of learning for each child is at their own pace and it creates positive self-esteem and motivation as well.<br />

<br />
<a href="http://www.ookaisland.com/">Ooka Island </a>has a way for parents to track their child's learning progress. They use a section called "Lighthouse" where access can be gained through online account (created when you setup your program and download your game) as well as by clicking the lighthouse on the map of Ooka Island in the game. Lighthouse creates online reports based on reading comprehension (scores comprehension and vocabulary learned), accuracy analysis (breakdown of every question posed to the child during game time and how the child responded), and book progress (number of books read). Lighthouse gives parents a real-time look into their child's reading abilities, with a score that based on correct responses in the game during present activity level. The scores meaning are: 75% or below shows the child needs more practice; and 75% and above shows the child is on the right track and doing well.<br />

Ooka Island is laid out in an Island map where the child progresses around the island in various levels of learning activities and does not get advanced into the next level until the present level is achieved in the game. They are motivated with cheers and awards in the Mist Mart with points. The characters on Ooka Island are also motivating and helpful in their roles.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am complete awe of principles behind Ooka Island game, the fact of using entertainment to enhance the skills of reading amaze me. But as the weeks passed and I watched my kids with this game, I saw the confidence of Princess, once a reluctant reader and now a confident lover of the word. Monkey is starting to gain enjoyment in the game and at almost 4 he will be starting to use Ooka Island more as the </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
school year approaches. I was so amazed by Ooka Island, we purchased a year subscription. Princess' improvements have been noticed by her Kindergarten teacher. She is very confident in reading various written forms, be they books or signs. </div>

Princess really enjoys the activities in Ooka Island. And I really like the progression of the game which doesn't allow advancing until the level is accomplished correctly. In the beginning, Princess was just starting the reading process and was very much a reluctant reader. She hated reading because it was taking time out of her play time. She stalled reading and would always ask me to help her even though she knew the sounds of the letters. But since starting Ooka Island, I can say she enjoys reading very much and reads with confidence. She has lately been reading things I was surprised she is reading at a level 6 reader at school at the beginning of May, right on target for where she needs to be for Grade 1. The words I am surprised she is able to recognize are 'follow', 'river', 'princess'... and she is getting better every day at reading. </div>

I am thoroughly impressed by the fun she has while playing and learning! I also love the fact that she wants to learn- play with great excitement. It has become the alternative to her off school days and will be wonderful for her when she is in her French Immersion program. I love that it has made her want to read with great intensity to where she reads to me and her dad and Monkey.<br />
<br />
Monkey has been a little slower at starting Ooka Island, he has been showing less interest right now with the game, he would way sooner play with his trains and cars. But we will be making use of it over the summer for sure to prepare him for the school year. He really liked watching Princess in the beginning as she went through the activities he kept her company. He also likes the Bubbly Trubbly fountain activity. He is really good answering the Pop Drop questions about the books he reads in the popcorn library. </div>

Ooka Island has graciously offered our readers a discount link to get the game for your self. Please check out the game if you have a reluctant reader because from experience with Princess, it makes a huge difference in a little over 2-3 weeks. Mind you she had already started reading in school but the difference is amazing. Her reading is no longer robotic like with stops and starts, it has become fluid and smooth and should she have to sound out a word she rereads the entire sentence to make her reading smooth with practice.</div>

<br />
<a href="http://educents.com/" target="_blank">Educents</a> approached me with an opportunity to review a great new addition to their daily sales this week. The review was for the <a href="https://www.educents.com/national-deals/deal/visual-learning-books#.UYppOitoRdI" target="_blank">Actual Size Books</a> from SunflowerEducation.net. The Actual Size books are currently part of their <a href="https://www.educents.com/national-deals/deal/visual-learning-books#.UYppOitoRdI" target="_blank">National Deals</a>, with a savings of 32% off. From the two versions available from the Visual Learning Books, we chose the Science book. The book is amazing, it cam with 72 different curriculum lessons and plans to bring science to life. I really wish when I was in school that these were around it would have made learning science more fun! I liked the idea of being able to bring this into any current setting in the classroom for even the younger ages because it can actually help you put things into perspective when it comes to different ages. My kids are 3 1/2 and 5 years of age and they were amazed at the size in comparison to themselves. I really liked that variety of plans available in the book that would be useful to introduce kids to science that is hands-on and 'outside the box' so to speak when it comes to the classroom. If I was a science teacher I would so use these in every unit that I was teaching so that the mundane everyday classroom life would be more than just sitting and being in the classroom. It would be great for group projects where the kids would have to do a presentation on the various plans and draw them out for all to see. It would definitely make science more enjoyable to bring in the big guns like the periodic table and formulas so that they would be able to bring science to life.<br />
<br />
With this review opportunity, I had the kids choose the plan that they liked the most out of the ones that would fit in our driveway. They chose the Polar Bear. So off we went with our materials (chalk, plans and measuring tape) outside to draw out our plans for a <a href="https://www.educents.com/national-deals/deal/visual-learning-books#.UYppOitoRdI" target="_blank">Actual Size</a> Polar Bear. As I drew out the Polar Bear referring to the specs in the plans, with my daughter calling out the numbers to draw, we drew out our Polar Bear. Don't laugh at my drawing I don't claim to be an artist that is for sure. After we had the Polar Bear on the driveway, we then discussed the habitat it lived in, what it would eat, how it hunted, how it could swim in the icy Arctic Ocean. Also, with Earth Day having just passed and her Kindergarten class discussing recycling, and pollution we talk about what was happening to the Polar Bear's habitat with Earth getting warmer and how this once majestic animal was losing it's home. I also brought in that Polar Bears are a protected specie here in Canada and that they were once hunted almost to extinction and now we are losing them to the melting of the Polar Ice. We really enjoyed creating the plan and will most likely use the <a href="https://www.educents.com/national-deals/deal/visual-learning-books#.UYppOitoRdI" target="_blank">Actual Size</a> book as a means to bring learning into their summer. They love using sidewalk chalk, so getting a little education sneaked into their fun is a bonus. It would be fun to take the plans to the Zoo and draw one out at the different exhibits we have here, like the polar bears, and buffalos. What a great way to take learning on the road too!!<br />

On A Side Note:<br />
Also in light of the events in Boston this month, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-family: Book Antiqua,sans-serif;">in addition to the giveaway, anyone who ends up purchasing a Conscious Box on the <a href="https://www.educents.com/national-deals/deal/eco-friendly-monthly-box-subscription#.UXX503DTiYQ" target="_blank">Educents</a> site (beginning Monday, April 22nd), will also be helping by giving to One Fund Boston, </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua';"><strong><span style="font-family: Book Antiqua,sans-serif;">which will provide funds to help those families most affected by the tragic events that unfolded during the Boston Marathon, April 16th. 100% of the profits made from every sale of the Conscious Box will be given to One Fund Boston, and matched, personally, by the Educents staff (for a total of 200%). As a company (and family) who are very connected to Boston, these tragedies hit home for many of our employees. </span></strong></span><br />
