Paint Chip Phonics

I just finished my first semester of graduate classes and this was one of the projects I created that I can use in my classrooms.  I used word families, blends, and digraphs.  

I used this awesome site to help me create this activity-  http://www.enchantedlearning.com/rhymes/wordfamilies/

I am just doing a little happy dance since I completed my first two grad classes!  WOOT!  

New Year's Resolutions should Start with a Ozeri Rev Digital Bathroom Scale

Thank you Ozeri for sending me a scale to conduct my review.  I was not paid for this review and all opinions are 100% mine. 

Scale Description

The Ozeri Rev Digital Bathroom Scale with Electro-Mechanical Weight Dial is the world's first weight scale to incorporate a synchronized electro-mechanical Dial and LCD that automatically illuminate and point to your weight in lbs and kg, for easy-to read results in all light conditions and from any angle. Boasting a visually arresting design, the Ozeri Rev scale features a huge 5.5 inch mechanical dial display with an integrated digital blue-backlit LCD, accented by stylish chrome to create a distinctive retro look, yet with the accuracy of modern technology. This professional quality scale features an oversized platform made of impact-resistant tempered glass with slip-resistant feet for ideal stability, and a new built-in alarm that reminds you to measure your weight at the same time each day. The Ozeri Rev Digital Bathroom Scale uses 4 high precision GX sensors that weigh up to 400 lbs (180 kg) in 0.2 lbs or 0.1 kg increments. Whether your goals are weight loss or muscle gain, the Ozeri Rev features the latest generation of StepOn technology to display your precise body weight upon stepping onto the scale, with no tapping required. The Ozeri Rev Digital Bathroom Scale is auto-calibrated and automatically turns off to conserve battery life. It runs on 3 AAA batteries (included) and features a Low Battery Indicator. Your Satisfaction is 100% Guaranteed.

My Review:
I was in need of a new scale so I was very excited to get this one for a review.  The package arrived safe and we put the batteries in and set it on the floor and nothing happened.  We ended up with a broken scale so I contacted the company and they immediately took care of the problem by sending me a return UPS label and a new scale. Once the new scale arrived it worked with zero problems.  I love the look of the scale but beyond look I am more impressed with the speed of the scale, you step on and within 3 seconds your weight is visible! 

This scale is available for purchase on Amazon.  Ozeri backs their products with a warranty so if you have any problems it is easy to talk with someone and figure out the best plan.  I was very pleased with how they took care of me and my faulty scale.  Sometimes those lemons happen! 

Make sure you get ready to start the new year off with an Ozeri scale!  You know you want to lose the pounds after the holiday's, be prepared and order your scale today.  

FlattenMe Book Review- Multicolor Kid Book

Thank you FlattenMe for sending me this wonderful book to conduct a review.  I was not paid for this review and all opinions expressed are my own. 

This is not the first Flatten Me book I have reviewed, I reviewed the "Owl Always Love You" book a few months ago.  

I am beginning to believe that this company is the best one out their for personalized kids books.  The stories are wonderful and the pictures are full of color and really take your breath away.  My kids pull out these two books daily because they love being the character's in the book!

Christmas Decorating

I finally have a big window to display my big tree!  The picture never is as good as in person but I love my tree and I wanted to share it with you.  There are several messages on the tree which include- hope, love, peace, and joy

The kids each get their own 3 foot tree in their room.  I like to give them a tree simply because my big tree in the living room is the way I want it... I know I am selfish but I like to still have them create ornaments each year but instead of making it on my tree it goes on their tree.  I'm kinda a theme girl and so my tree is gold, silver, and red, it would look too strange to see the kids blue painted snowflakes, or purple salt dough creations.  Anyone else do the same thing? 

I captured this shot after I tucked lil man in bed.  I absolutely love the lighting in it.  I love falling asleep looking at the Christmas tree lights.  

We still have to find a place to hang our stockings so the kids decided they would wear them instead of hang them.  :)
