Some of you might remember my Rock N Learn Letter Sounds Review a couple of weeks ago. In case you missed it, let me tell you a little bit about this company.
Rock N Learn is a company that creates CDs and DVDs that are educational, set to great music, and designed specifically to promote reading, and to help your child prepare for reading.
This time, I was so excited to review the Sight Words DVD, which thrills me, because THIS is something my 5 1/2 year old son needs help with. He can read. I know he can. But he'll often read big ol' words without any problem at all, and then stop and sound out "it" or "his" or "there"- which is frustrating, as a mother, and frustrating to his teachers. It's also frustrating to him.
Having been so into the first Rock N' Learn video I reviewed, my kids were more than ready to pop this puppy in the player and watch! Personally, I liked this video better, myself. It was full of music, and had words at the bottom of the screen, like a sing along, that would light up when they sang the word- so the child would look at the word and 'read" it as they listened. My kids didn't get as much of a chance to interact with the video as they did with Letter Sounds- there weren't any little clocks in the corner they had to beat with the answer, and they enjoyed that so much, i would have loved to see that. Still, it was a hit in our house!!!! So, once again, Rock N Learn has given me the opportunity to give away a DVD or CD of your choice!

Love With Food is an amazing group of foodies, putting together adventurous tastes for all kinds of chefs, from beginners to the extremely talented! Their website is full of delicious recipes and amazing products. The coolest thing of all are the subscriptions. I received a free subscription for this review, which is a box full of samples to try. If you sign up for the monthly subscription, for a mere 14.00, you get a box, like the one shown below, filled with delicious, healthy samples!
The absolute best part of this is, when you buy a box, they will donate a meal to No Kid Hungry!!!
Of course, I was waiting for my sample box, and when I got it, I eagerly opened it to find all these delicious goodies waiting for me! Of course, my children gathered round, ready to sample with me.
We'll start with my FAVORITE! Spicy Apple Ginger Cider Chews by The Ginger People. I didn't let my kids try this...because they were too delicious. LOL. Also, it was very hot, but very flavorful. I will be buying some of these on my own! From the same company, The Ginger People, were Original Ginger Chews. I didn't care for these too much, because they were really really strong, and hot, and quite overwhelming. My husband, though, thought they were SUPER good. I'm also very curious about their affect on morning sickness. I have read that ginger can calm the stomach. I think, though, that these would be best cut into 4-5 pieces. A smaller bite might make it less overwhelming.
Sahale Snacks- Almonds with cranberries, honey and sea salt. - EVERYONE in our family loved these. It was the perfect mix of sweet, tangy and salty.
It's also a given that my whole family thoroughly enjoyed the Plain Jane peanut Butter Granola from Nuts About Granola. It was, mostly, as one might expect, but with a delicious peanut butter flavor. My kids were very disappointed when it was all gone.
Somersault Snacks- Pacific Sea salt. As per the pamphlet I got in the box: These crunchy nuggets are made with sunflower seeds and toasted grains, making them rich in protein and vitamin E. I really REALLY wanted to like these. I like sunflower seeds a lot, and so do my kids. Plus, it had a really super cute package. Alas, it wasn't in the cards. I did not like them at all, and two of my kids actually spit them out. Even my husband didn't care for them, and he likes everything.
Mighty Leaf Tea- Chocolate Mint Truffle. I let my husband test this, as he is the tea drinker in our house, and, as it's a Rooibos tea, and he LOVES Rooibos, I felt he was a better judge than I. He said that he really liked it, though, it was more of a mint tea than a chocolate mint tea. It didn't taste like chocolate at all, though, there was a hearty, earthy flavor to it, which he suspected to be the "chocolate" flavor.
Stretch Island Fruit Co- I actually buy these all the time, but i've never had the Mango Sunrise flavor. It was delicious. And I didn't share.

Now it's your turn! I have been given the ability to award FIVE WINNERS with a sample box similar to mine!!! Enter to win on the rafflecopter below!
***DISCLAIMER: I received one or more products for free using Mom Blog Society. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally, and believe will be good for my readers. ***
I love to take pictures and find creative ways to share them. Scrapbooking is one of those ways. I love scrapbooking but it is very time consuming and can get pretty costly too. That is one of the reasons I was SO excited when I heard about the My Memories Digital Scrapbooking software!
How cute are these PetCakes®? These adorable stuffed animals are a BIG hit in our house. My kids were super excited when I opened the box! They fell in love with them instantly. They are so bright and cheerful. Each one has a "frosting" hat with either a strawberry,cherry, or sprinkles on top. One of the things we really liked about these is that when the
PetCakes® are pressed down into the wrapper it looks like a cupcake. My son said it looks like they're playing peek-a-boo, which he thought was really great.
We received Bamboo Berry and Nutty Nicky. My daughter has laid claim to Nutty Nicky. She picked him up and instantly started hugging and kissing it. Nutty Nicky has become her new favorite toy! She plays with it daily. The only problem I can see with them is that we only have two!
Special Offer: Buy (4) or more
Petcakes® Collectibles plush toys and receive the PetCakes® Collectibles
Minis – 4 pack FREE you only pay an additional $1.99 shipping and

This is how the prize will work. 1 winner will be selected from each of the Team Rafflecopters. Each winner from each team RC will receive the cash prized from that winning RC. The bloggers on that team RC will send their $5 to the winner. For example: Team 1 RC has ten bloggers in it. Jane Doe wins Team 1 RC. All ten bloggers on Team 1 RC send Jane Doe $5 paypal cash for a grand total of $50 winnings for Jane Doe. Each Team RC will do the same thing for their winner. Finally, all cash winners from each team RC will be put on a new RC drawing. Random.org will select one of those cash winners to be the grand prize winner of the NETBOOK COMPUTER! Bloggers win too! All bloggers on the Rafflecopters will be entered into a drawing at the end of the giveaway to win $100 paypal, courtesy of LaDonna Dennis.
