Educational Alphabet Flash Cards Review

I love flash cards. I know some people don't really like them, but I think they are one of the most affordable products available to teach children.

Educational Toys Planet gave me Alphabet Flash Cards to review. Educational Toys Planet is an awesome website, that allows you to easily sort products by age, gender, price and category. They have a gift finder, which lets you search all of them at one time. A wish list and gift registry are available, and they ship free if you order over $75 of product. Although I didn't order from their website, the shipping was very quick, and testimonials from customers also rave of the quick shipping times.

The flash cards themselves were Alphabet Flash Cards from School Zone. They are quality flash cards. They have good color and are sturdy cardboard. They are made of nice smooth cardboard, not the cheaper rough kind.

Each card has a picture on one side and a letter on the other side. My only complaint is also something I like about it. Some of the pictures are somewhat obscure for alphabet flash cards. For instance, these cards are recommended for children as young as 3 years old, and I am pretty sure that most children that young would guess that the "J is for jet" is more of an "A is for airplane". I can see this as something some people might not like, but as I love to teach kids new vocabulary it works great for me. There are cards for every letter of the alphabet, both uppercase and lowercase.

Hadlee already knows her letters, and Miss Baby is to young to learn them, but they were good for quick review for Hadlee, and teaching Miss Baby the names of different things. The cards come with Parent Card with ideas for how to use the cards in creative ways, which is awesome, because just drilling flash cards can get old for kids.

I was really happy with the quality of the flash cards and the shipment speed from Educational Toys Planet.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Breastfeeding An Adopted Child - The Tenth Day of Christmas

Today we are hearing from Teglene. Her story is pretty long, but trust me, it is totally worth reading through! She also has a great blog, called The Breastfeeding Mother . I always knew I wanted to breastfeed my children. I couldn ’t imagine doing it any differently. I was lucky enough to give birth to two beautiful boys and I enjoyed breastfeeding them both. Not that it was easy or without struggle, but it was what I wanted to do and loved doing it. In fact, I liked it so much, and felt so passionate about breastfeeding that I became a La Leche League Leader, so that I could help other breastfeeding moms. I really took to the idea of “Mothering through breastfeeding”. It wasn ’t just a feeding method for me, but a relationship with my child. My husband and I always talked about adopting a child who needed a family. We thought, if we can’t have kids of our own then we will adopt. Even if we can have kids of our own, maybe we will still adopt. After the birth of our

Things That Annoy Infertile Girls (or Maybe Just Me?) - Flashback Friday

This was actually one of my more popular posts when it was first published, but I still thought I would share it again. Any additions to the post are in pink, as usual :) Accidental Pregnancies - So I have been trying for years to get pregnant, you go slut around and accidentally get pregnant? Immediate Pregnancies - You quit taking your birth control last month and now you are pregnant?

Why I Choose Christian Light Education Homeschool Curriculum

Last summer I decided that I was going to homeschool our foster daughters while they were on summer vacation. There were two reasons for this: 1) Two of the three girls were behind academically. I really hoped that by working through the summer we could help them get on track for the next school year. They left our house soon after school started, so I don't know how well it worked. 2) I don't allow my children much in the way of screen time, and these girls were accustomed to having TV and tablets in their rooms all the time. So they never really knew what to do with themselves. I figured school work for the morning would help with that dilemma. Choosing a curriculum was difficult for me. I know that some people bounce around and change curriculum a lot, but whatever I got, I hoped I would like enough to use the non-consumables with Little Guy. I don't like wasting money, and I hate the idea of some topics falling through the cracks because different curricu
