We are blessed to have you all as our readers and we enjoy sharing with you our opinions on what we feel are great Holiday Gifts. In our family we also have 4 birthdays from now until Christmas day so there will be many gifts given and lots of memories made.

We hope everyone is enjoying the cooler weather and all the holiday cheer around us as we get closer to Thanksgiving and Christmas time celebrations.

Enjoy the giveaways and we always welcome your suggestions on great gifts too!

Turning our Halloween candy into a reading, writing and math lesson!

With all of the Halloween candy at our house the boys have been in candy heaven! I am not big on giving them candy that often, if they are to get a treat I'm more likely to give them cake or something of that nature. JJ must asked me for a piece of candy or wanted to look at his candy a million times this week, I decided to turn the candy examining into a chance to practice reading, writing and math. I had him sort the candy by type each in their own pile, write down the name of the candy, count how many were in each pile, and write down the number next to the name. He had a blast with this "lesson" and did it for 45 minutes! He had no idea he was learning while he basked in the glory of his Halloween loot ;)
