UPDATE: Random.org picked #20, “I became a follower of yours on FB/ Birdie Skolfield”
We tried out Fiber One, Yoplait’s new yogurt and my daughter (pictured above) and my husband both really loved it. I could taste the aftertaste of artificial sugar, so it wasn’t my favorite. It’s a healthy snack for my daughter though, with 5 grams of fiber!

UPDATE: Giveaway has ended. Random.org picked #10, Ann “I am a fan on facebook.”
This Children’s DVD uses puppets to explain: the overall concept of the Bible, from who wrote it, why, how it all came together in one piece. Then it uses cartoons to explain: the individual stories in the bible.
I liked the cartoon parts of the DVD better then the puppets part. I think What’s In The Bible is more for children at least 5 years old. It moves too quickly and is too packed with information for any younger child.
There were 2 specific statements made that I disagreed with; you can email me if you want to know specifics. I did think it did a good job of explaining about the creation when Moses wrote “Day” it could have meant God’s day, which could be thousands or millions of years in Earth days. It also explained selfishness very well.

UPDATE: GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED, Entry #12 won.
This is the secret to getting kids to love brushing their teeth! My nearly-3 year old daughter never liked to brush, but I would say “You get a Tooth Fairy treat if you brush!” and she’d start brushing away.
Chewable tablets?
According to Dr. Jeffrey Hillman, D.M.D., Ph.D. “The probiotics in EvoraKids™ effectively compete with certain harmful bacteria for both nutrients and space on tooth surfaces. Daily application of the special blend of probiotics in EvoraKids will help support healthy teeth in children.” Read more about them or order some here on EvoraKids.com
EvoraKids = less cavaties! It has no sugar or artificial sweeteners.
Since it is so hard to know how well your kid is brushing their teeth, EvoraKids can give you piece of mind.
My daughter loves the taste of these chewy tablets.

Well, lucky for Bridget this was a referral giveaway (if you refer someone and they win, you win too!)- she is scooping up a slice as well!!! I found several entries for Bridget’s, they all had one email, so:

Bittersweet “I’m following you on YouTube which is how I heard of this offer! Thanks for posting the video – this does look like it will work slick! Or should I say slice? =)”

Thanks to all who entered!
UPDATE: This giveaway ended, entry #37 won.
I reviewed a copy of Danny the Dragon, written by Tina Turbin and Illustrated by Aija Jasuna, and an accompanying CD which reads the book out loud then plays 10 original composition classical songs.
Me and my daughter follow the cd along with the book before bedtime. My daughter likes to listen to the CD and turn the pages at the chime. Then when its over I tuck her in and turn the volume on low and she goes to sleep with the music going. She thinks its really special.
The book is about a regular family who comes across Danny the Dragon and his sidekick Skipper. I won’t spoil the surprise on how Danny meets Jimmy and his family, but your children will love “where he sleeps” and learn from Danny as Danny is an easy-going, gracious dragon with great manners. The illustrations are very colorful and my daughter loved them.
About the author: Tina Turbin is donating all proceeds from the Danny the Dragon CD to the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University. She is a strong supporter of families, kids and education and runs the website Gluten Free Help which lists recipes that are gluten-free for people with celiac disease.

Update: Entry #2 won.
I have the most obnoxious, tangly, frizzy, curly hair and have never fell “in love” with any shampoo or conditioner.
I think I may really like like Wen! I used it on my hair for a month. It worked great on my hair, noticiably making it softer. It also seemed to straighten it a little, which seems weird. I straightened my hair after using Wen and it only took 45 minutes; it usually takes me over an hour. Yes, that is using my ceramic straightner and curling iron.
So what’s the big deal with Wen? Well, it’s a conditioner that you use with no shampoo before or after. Really. From their site “Wen cleanses as it conditions, with no detergents or harsh chemicals. It’s all-natural…makes color lasts longer” and the results (at least on my hair) were much softer hair.
I think this product would work best on people who have thick hair like mine.
Cuckoo Level: 4.5 out of 5 (because its price is higher then what I normally pay for conditioner)

Giveaway: 7 Living Scriptures DVD’s
UPDATE: This giveaway has ended – please see winners here.
I have to say we loved these! We watched Ammon and Alma the Younger. I thought my daughter wouldn’t be too excited about them -she’s almost 3 and in the extreme princess mode – but she was captivated by them. In fact, she asks to watch them, and in the week we’ve had them has seen them several times.
If you don’t know what Living Scriptures are, they are animated stories from the Old and New Testament and the Book of Mormon. They don’t just read the scriptures to you – instead they show the story as a cartoon with a plot. They are extremely accurate and our whole family learned lessons from them. I recently reviewed “What’s In The Bible” and found Living Scriptures more enjoyable to watch. My child is as excited to watch these as she is Dora!
On Living Scriptures site it says” About 90% of what comes on T.V. is violent and anti-gospel…only 2% is gospel oriented.”
The odds are stacked against our children; what a great idea to let them watch T.V., entertain them, and teach them at the same time.
We did a Family Home Evening where we used one of the bonus features, the quizzes, and we had lots of fun. There were lots of other great bonus features, scriptures, FHE lessons & activities to go along with the video, etc.
Giveaway #1 (open to everyone): 1st winner will receive 2 DVD’s: “Ammon” and “Alma the Younger” and the 2nd winner will receive the DVD: “Alma the Younger”
