123 Kids Fun App Review! #BacktoSchool

Free For All received a sample and compensation in order to facilitate this review all opinions are 100 percent my own.

What apps do your kids play? As a mom of three I am learning more and more everyday about what apps are best for kids. I was recently introduced to 123 Kids Fun Alphabet a wonderful app from 123 Kids Fun. My sons have been playing this app for quite some time now and are really enjoying it. My boys are five and six and it is perfect for them.

123 Kids Fun Alphabet App teaches letters and small words to children. It uses fun kid friendly characters like the ant below to reinforce site words and aid in the teaching process. I would much rather my kids play an age appropriate app that teaches them in comparison to some of the apps that are targeted to kids that have really no meaning at all and no business being presented to children.

ABC Kids Fun Alphabet is perfect for on the go, long road trips, doctor's office visits when you are stuck in the waiting room or just down time at home. This is one of the apps my kids are excited to play because they call it the exception in our house. All learning apps approved by me do not count against my children's electronic time. They get one hour a day but in this case they can play as long as they want within reason as they are learning and having fun and the electronic device is the teacher. Apps like this make my job as a mommy that much easier.

My kids go back to school this week and this is the perfect app to get them ready and in the swing of things. Make sure to check out the other great apps by 123 Kids Fun Alphabet like 123 Kids Fun Flashcards, Music, and Baby Tunes. 123 Kids Fun App's offers a free "small" or sample version of each of their apps free. I love that so you ca try them out and see what works best for your child before you bu the full versions of the apps that are best for your little one. Also, 123 Kids Fun Apps are available in Android, IOS, IOS PL, Windows and MAC so finding what fits your device is easy!

Mind you I am not half as talented as the wonderful cooks Country Crock has but I made my own Spicy Honey Roasted Wings using Country Crock to get in the Lollapalooza spirit and they are amazing. I wanted to pick a recipe I thought would be easy for even the least experienced to make and also one that took few ingredients and would be cheap to make. Spicy Honey Roasted Wings are just the perfect summer treat. You could serve these as a tailgating appetizer, at a BBQ, summer party or any kind of get together.Wings are the universal food in my book; they are great for so many different occasions.Check out these other Lollapalooza inspired recipes and bake up your own Lollapalooza and Country Crock inspired goodness:

·         Sugar Sugar (Country Crock Sugar Cookies) – A remix of “Shiver Shiver” by Walk the Moon – So tasty, it’ll give you the shivers.

·         Bake It Out (Old-Fashioned Berry Shortcakes) – A remix of “Shake It Out” by Florence and the Machine – These shortcakes will leave you with no regrets.

·         Live and let Pie (Country Whoopie Pies) – A remix of “Live and Let Die” by Paul McCartney – Pie that will change your outlook on life.

Patterns of Evidence Exodus Review

"Disclosure (in accordance with the FTC’s 16 CFR, Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising”): Many thanks to Propeller Consulting, LLC for providing this prize for the giveaway. Choice of winners and opinions are 100% my own and NOT influenced by monetary compensation. I did receive a sample of the product in exchange for this review and post.

 Only one entrant per mailing address, per giveaway. If you have won a prize from our sponsor Propeller / FlyBy Promotions in the last 30 days, you are not eligible to win. If you have won the same prize on another blog, you are not eligible to win it again. Winner is subject to eligibility verification.”

About Patterns of Evidence Exodus:

For more than 50 years, the vast majority of the world's most prominent archaeologists and historians have proclaimed that there is no hard evidence to support the Exodus story found in the Bible.  In fact, they say that the archaeological record is completely opposed to the Bible's account.  This view of extreme skepticism has spread from academia to the world.  The case against the Exodus appears to be so strong that even some religious leaders are labeling this ancient account as historical fiction.  Filmmaker Timothy Mahoney begins with the questions, "Is the Bible just a myth, or did the archaeologists get it wrong?"  He decides to tackle this issue wit a deliberate scientific approach.   After examining the details in the biblical text, he journeys across the globe to search for patterns of evidence firsthand.  The result is the most in-depth archaeological investigation into the Exodus from Egypt ever captured on film.   This scientific documentary's goal is to communicate the TRUTH of the Bible and help equip believers with defending their faith and the Bible.  

The DVD features stunning animations and a cast including narrator, Kevin Sorbo (God's Not Dead, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys), interviews with leading archaeologists including Israel Finkelstein, Kent Weeks, and David Rohl, and guest appearances by Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu and Shimon Peres.

Little Tikes Garden Activity Center!

Free For All received a sample product in order to facilitate this review. All opinions are 100 percent my own and no financial compensation was received. 

Little Tikes Garden Activity Center has so many great features your little one will be in for a huge surprise and you will get some much needed me time. Sierra was so entertained with her Garden Activity Center she played the whole day with it and every day since it is her go to favorite play item. The colors are very vibrant and the design is perfectly gauged for crawlers and toddlers. Each wall has something great for Sierra to explore and it has helped her with building her fine motor skills so much so that within a week of having the Garden Activity Center she went from trying to hold her bottle to fully holding her bottle on her own.

The Little Tikes Garden Activity Center Center can be purchased here on Litte Tikes website for only $84.99. This will make a perfect birthday gift, Christmas gift or one of those you may wait to mention to Grandma and Grandpa. I have always been a huge fan of activity centers for toddlers they are so stimulating but this one is so different than the normal ones you see. Each of these four panels can be taken apart and can be reconfigured to change up the play experience for baby. Sierra loves popping out of the windows and playing peek a boo with her brothers and mommy. The green panel pictured above is the most interactive panel in my opinion. It has many different textures and colors going on and 5 different movable play pieces. Sierra's favorite is the bird because it sings and so far it is great on batteries I haven't put a new set in and it has been on for months. I love that it is easy to take a long since we travel so much. Sierra will be able to enjoy this for years also this is not just a toy she will grow out of fast. So the price is well worth the value you get out of the product. I also assembled this myself since Chris is out of commission with his dog bite now as most of you know who follow the page. If I can put it together anyone can this is actually the first thing I ever attempted to assemble 100 percent myself. Sierra's eyes light up when she plays in her Garden Activity Center and to me that is priceless these are the moments in life that go by way to fast. I am enjoying every minute with the help of Little Tikes!
