Halloween Candy Buy Back!

So I got a letter from one of the local dentists in town and I want to share the neat program they have. They have a buy back on kids Halloween candy. When a child 12 or under comes in on November 1st they will pay your child $1 for every 1 pound of candy and they will get a new firefly flashing toothbrush!

So what will the Dentist do with all of the candy they buy?? The candy will be shipped overseas with the help of a local post office to our courageous troops while serving our country.

Not only do they send the candy to our troops but they are also teaming up with a local food pantry and will match $1 per pound received! AWESOME!

"Global sugar consumption for kids increases by about 2 % annually and currently sits at 50 million tons per year. This means parents need to be more diligent right now more than ever before. Too much candy can lead to weight gain, as well as cavities and other health problems. In some cases, the wrong type of candy can also lead to broken teeth and damaged braces."

That is a great idea! My daughter always gets so much candy and really doesn't eat that much of it. My husband and I usually eat most of it or he takes it to work. I certainly don;t need to be doing that. lol Wish we had a local dentist that was doing that.

Happy Saturday!

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words. These are broken down into six sets of five words. The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Timeless Truth Bible - Blogger Review #timelesstruths #biblegram #bible #Christianbookstagram

About this Bible: The Christian faith is founded upon an unchanging and unceasing confession: that “Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:11).

My Review: I have a full house often being a pastor and now that we have a bonus daughter with us she is the blessed one to receive this Bible. She has been desiring a bible to take notes in so when she saw margins she was pretty excited. Then with the leather she was more exci...
