Hooked on Phonics Master Reader Deluxe Edition Giveaway-CLOSED


School is in session and we are all back to our regular schedules.  If your a mommy who is into homeschooling your little ones or just parents always looking for educational products that will enhance your children to read and learn better; then this program would definitely be for you. I had the pleasure of working with Hooked on Phonics in the past on their Learn to Read Pre-K program.  It was a wonderful experience teaching my little one the program and we are still following the program. I was given another opportunity to work with them again, which I truly appreciate. This time, I want to introduce to my readers the Hooked on Phonics Master Reader Deluxe Edition.  
Let me tell you a little bit more about the Master Reader Deluxe Edition program: This program is designed for children who have mastered basic reading skills, but still need some encouragement to read appropriately, accurately and definitely with confidence. Here are a few steps on what your child will learn:
  • Learn advanced phonics skills with engaging lessons on the computer.
  • Practice new skills with fun, interactive computer games.
  • Build a bridge from basic reading skills to fluency.
  • Read amazing stories and exciting chapter books for independent reading.
  • Read out loud allowing children to showcase their new reading skills
This is what is included in the Master Readers Deluxe Edition program:
4 chapter books
4 easels
64 story cards
4 CD-ROMs
1 progress poster to track learning success
1 set of fun stickers kids love
1 Parent's guide
After you have used this program your child will be able to master the following steps:
Blue Level - Your child learns how to break down and sound out compound words.
Green Level - Your child's reading skills progress to include two-syllable and three-syllable words with long vowel sounds like apple and candle, as well as words with similar patterns like nation and discussion.
Orange Level – Your child focuses on tricky vowels in words such as meter and metal, and even and ever, before moving on to vowel teams, as in mermaid and today.
Red Level – Your child learns more difficult vowel pairs, as in coward, turquoise, and video. By the last lesson they’ll have the skills to read five-syllable words such as possibility and congratulations.

Delta Faucet Review!


I am not sure if we can relate to one another, but I am the type of person that loves to walk into model homes or even take tours of some of the most beautifully decorated homes during tours. What really thrills me, is seeing the exquisite appliances and fixtures. It is always wonderful to look for inspiration, and then adding a little piece of your own ideas into your home.  Love it.
As most of you know, I love to cook. I must say that I spend a little more time in the kitchen than anywhere else. Oh, besides blogging and the little one. LOL.  So when you spend a lot of time in the kitchen you definitely need to have a faucet that will be durable, beautiful and definitely easy to use.  The lovely people from Delta Faucet sent over the Waterfall Two Handle Kitchen Faucet With Spray.  We wanted something sleek, but with a little touch of elegance to it, and with the elegant high-arc spout and shiny chrome finish this will definitely make your kitchen stand out. The long spout measures 9-1/2" and swings 360º for added convenience. I love it because when your working on one sink you can easily swing to the other sink, very handy indeed. I also can't forget about the sprayer, just looking at it in the box, I already started to imagine what I can do with my little friend. Like washing vegetables, fruits, cleaning plates or spraying Daddy! 
As much as I love for my husband to install the delta faucet in the kitchen and with instruction that are easy to follow, I rather have a professional install it. By surprise he agreed to it as well. Don't you love it when they agree with you. LOL. We just want to make sure that everything is done right. Don't you agree?
    Visit Delta Faucet for more kitchen and bath faucets. Believe me, you will just keep on browsing until you decide you need a change in your kitchen or bathroom. It is amazing sometimes how something so little can make a big difference. So what are you waiting for? Hurry and browse away, then give your home that elegant, new look.

    Sincerely,

    Emile Henry Pizza Stone Review and Giveaway-CLOSED!




    Can't you tell that I love to cook and eat? LOL. Well, here is another lovely product I would love to share with you all. Since we are a pizza loving family, I thought, why not talk about how to make your pizza on an amazing product called Pizza Stone, by Emile Henry. 

    First of all let me tell you a little bit about the The Emile Henry Pizza Stone if your not familiar with it. It is made of all natural materials and can definitely withstand high oven temperature. The glaze is micro-crazed which helps you for that  crispy well-baked crust. Not only can the pizza stone be used in the oven but also on the stove top, gas, charcoal and natural wood grills.  
    We were ready to try it out for ourselves. Daddy and Sophia made a pizza on it and placed the Pizza Stone in the oven. What I loved about it was the pizza was not sticking to the stone. We have used quite a few pizza stones and you always tend to dig around the edges of the pizza to get it to loosen up, because it would stick to the stone. You don't even have to transfer the pizza on to another serving plate, you can cut the slices directly on the glazed pizza stone and serve it right there. Isn't that easy breezy!  I know it is called a pizza stone, but if your like me I make a lot of different types of dishes, so I used it to make "Roti" an East Indian dish, which is a flour dough rolled just like a pizza, I then placed it the stone on the stove top. Oh my, I really loved it, the roti was really soft, fluffy and tasty of course. You can also whip a real quick tortilla on there as well. Yummy! The stone is easy to clean with soap and water and to top it off it is dishwasher safe. Visit Emile Henry and see more of their wonderful products other than the pizza stone.

    WIN: Emile Henry is graciously giveaway one of my readers one pizza stone of their own.  Isn't that really nice! Here is how you can enter.

    Trudeau Rock‘n Grill Review

    Yes, I know school is about to start next week, so what would be a fantastic idea to have an end of summer grilling day. It would be so great to invite your friends and family to have a nice get together and eat, before schools starts.  I know when you hear grilling your thinking about the BBQ Grill. Well, not this time. This party grill is called the Trudeau Rock n' Grill and everyone can be the grillmaster, not just Daddy. Yes, believe me, once I  tell you all about this little friend of mine, you will just love it.
    The Trudeau Rock'n Roll Grill is perfect for a day or night to grill some fun chicken, shrimp, fish, steak or any other delicious items you have in mind.  It is quick and easy and everyone can participate in creating their own meal. All you do is place it on the counter or table in the kitchen, or even the dining room table when your entertaining guests.  The Trudeau Rock 'n Roll Grill features a natural stone and grill, Variable thermostat control and is for Household use only.  

    Here is a little more and what is is included in the Rock'n grill:
    Fork quantity: 8 spatulas
    Fork guide: 8 pans
    Burner type: 1200 Watts
    Pot material:  Alu & stone
    Spatula quantity: 8 spatulas
    Cooking pan quantity:8 pans
    Grill material: Alu and stone

    We decided to make some delicious fajitas, with some chicken, onions and all the other  necessary items to go with it.  It was pretty easy to assemble and did not take too long to set up.  We were just ready to see how the Rock'n Grill would work. After the grill heated up, the chicken and onions were just sizzling the minute we placed it on the grill. Underneath, we melted some Monterey Jack cheese with onions and chiles for some Queso Flameado.  Once, it was done, we were ready to eat and it was just great. This product is great for anyone who wants to grill but does not want to do it outdoors.  It is just perfect for entertaining guests or even just for you and your family. Everyone will be curious what it is, plus they get to be involved in the cooking. This type of grilling really brings people together.
    Visit Trudeau to see more of their party grills, woks and other wonderful items.  Believe me you will just love them all.  Once, you decide this would be the perfect grill for you, then head over to the grocery store and pick out your items.  Then you can also do some indoor grilling with Trudeau Rock'n grill.
    Sincerely,
