My awesome deals

I love this time of the year because I can get awesome deals on school/office supplies!  These are great to have on hand for whenever you need them, as well as Christmas teacher gifts.  You can make up a gift basket of various school supplies they will need/use for practically free!  I made one last year with different pens, markers, pencils, stickers, etc and the teachers loved it!  It helps them reduce money spent out of their pockets.

Braden

I took Braden to the park this morning to let him play and run around before I had to go to the store.  These are some pictures from his day.

Big boy!

These next 2 photos are my favorite pictures of him.
He actually took this picture himself - I just improved it using instagram

Loopeez Review and Giveaway!




I recently had the opportunity to review the Loopeez.  Loopeez is a great way for teaching your child how to learn to tie their shoes.  I tested this product on my 6 year old son.  He has been practicing and learning how to tie his shoes but still had some trouble with the loops part.  It comes in 2 small rectangle with 2 holes for the laces.  It also comes in 12 different colors/styles.  I got the Boys Camo one to try out.

1st cross over your laces and pull tightly
Add your Loopeez on top, and bend the lace and push it through the hole, to make a loop
Now do the other side the same way.
Pushing the laces through in a loop.
Now take your loops and cross it over.
Ta-da!  

My son did this several times with the Loopeez since he was having trouble getting the loops to cooperate.  But now he has no problems tying his shoes the regular way.  Thanks Loopeez for sending me the product to review and giving my son confidence to tie his own shoes.

Now Loopeez is generous enough to give one of my readers their own Loopeez for their child!
