Parking Pal Magnet Review and Giveaway

The Parking Pal is one of those items that I wish I would have made! You know that kind of product that you see and you say, "Why didn't I think of that?"

Thank-you, Busy Mom Boutique, for sending me the Parking Pal for review. All opinions are 100% mine and I was not paid for this review.

How many of you have more then one child and while you are getting one child in and out of the vehicle the other one is still outside. I hope you have never had your child run out in front of a car while waiting! It was a long time ago when my daughter was jumping around and jumped far away from our vehicle and I was thankful there were no cars around but it can be a very scary thought!

The parking pal magnet is a simple magnet that you place on your car/truck/van that has a little hand print on it. The child must keep their little hand on the hand-print while they wait. I know some of you are reading this and say, "OK, my child is never going to keep his/her hand on that hand-print." I hear you on that, but we have turned this into a game. First, we talked about why we do it. Second, we talked about how she was being a helper and staying safe and why it is dangerous in a parking lot. Third, we play different games as she is waiting, such as I spy, count the red cars, sing me a song, what day of the week is it and can we sing the days of the week song, and sometimes we just carry on the conversation that we were having because now that we have done it several times it has become routine. :)

The Parking Pal Magnet offers 8 adorable designs so you can find the right one for your child. I have the flowers for my girl and we have also talked about how many green, yellow, purple flowers that can be found on her magnet. :) Shipping on the product was very quick so order today and you will have them as a great Christmas gift! :)

Some other great ideas on how to use your Parking Pal other then your car:
1. Put in on your fridge as a timeout spot
2. Keep one in your purse so when you use a public bathroom you can keep your kids from crawling around the gross floor. (or worse opening the feminine garbage, mine have done this.)

"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.

Book Review: "God I feel Scared"

Kids have big feelings, but none of their feelings are too big for God. In this picture book from licensed counselor Michelle Nietert and Tama Fortner, young readers will explore what it means to feel scared and discover how to manage their emotions in a healthy way. Scared is a feeling that can be hard to face, but if we listen to it, we can learn things about ourselves.

The bright, emotive art by Nomar Perez will draw kids in, and a note in the back provides tips and techniques parents and caregivers can use to help young children process their feelings in a beneficial way. God, I Feel Scared teaches kids ages 4 to 8 how to: Identify the feeling of fear and recognize thin...
