Back to School ReadingKingdom.com Subscription Giveaway-CLOSED

Shaun is entering the 2nd grade. He’s done well in kindergarten and 2nd grade overall, he’s a really bright and outgoing kid who soaks up everything around him. Where we have some difficulty is reading; he just doesn’t want to. He loves books but he’d rather be read to than read on his own. We were given the chance to try out Reading Kingdom; a new online educational reading tool for kids ages 4-10.

Reading Kingdom is the only program that teaches all six skills a child needs for reading and writing success! A key element of the Reading Kingdom program is that all the teaching is customized to match a child’s unique abilities. Kids start the program with a Skills Survey which shows the skillset a child already has (so there is no need to waste time re-learning something that is already known).

These 6 skills are
Sequencing
Motor Skills
Sounds
Meaning
Grammar
Comprehension

Traditional reading is learned with phonics but after researching Reading Kingdom I’m wondering if maybe that is Shaun’s issue, he’s not understanding that all the rules he’s learned about sounding out letters are going to be broken. A c doesn’t always make a c sound. The breathy h sound doesn’t work with the word “hour”. Reading Kingdom is new to our household, along with a new school year. We are going to work with Shaun over the next 3 months and see the impact Reading Kingdom makes on his learning and progress.

Visit Reading Kingdom and sign up your kids for the program and let me know if it works for you. LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! readers are able to take advantage of a 25% discount on your subscription, use promo code “LWMF25”.

We also have a full 1 year subscription, $200 value, to giveaway here at LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! What book are you waiting to hear your child read all by themselves?

MYOilCloth Recap and 20% discount

Now that Shae is out of diapers I’ve been on the search for a great handbag that not only serves my needs but the occasional needs of a sippy cup and snack. MYOilCloth is the answer; a collection of distinctive, well-made, well-organized and fun handbags and totes.

Michele Sommer and Yvette Yelardy, creators of MY, are two designers with OCD (oilcloth desire) who absolutely needed to make a tote out of oilcloth. They searched the world to find a fabric that didn’t feel like your grandmother’s plastic tablecloth and when they didn’t find it, they created it. The MY collection pairs beautiful fabric design with functional shapes to fit your lifestyle. Their philosophy is that fashion should be fun, functional, and fabulously well-made.

Whatever you need or lifestyle you’re going to find a bag perfect just for you. The weekender says it all, the tall tote is just right for groceries and double zip fits a laptop perfectly. Traditional oilcloth was meant for sailors and fisherman and not really the prettiest design. Lately oilcloth has been used for eco-friendly home. MYOilCloth has but a spin on the dull and boring; a fashionable yet functional collection of handbags and accessories for ALL women.

My convertible bag is an over the body deep pocket bag with an awesome inside water bottle holder and inner pockets. The pattern is bright and friendly and perfect for the season. It also comes with the cutest business card holder. The best part is the material is durable and cleanable while still being fun.
See my personal video:

****FYI the bag doesn’t include the business card holder, it was a special treat from the MY ladies
Shop for yourself or for another lucky lady using this exclusive coupon code “Look” for 20% off your entire purchase. Hurry this offer expires June 4th, 2010. Visit MY on Facebook for select offers, giveaways and announcements.

Strapped Belts blings out 2010 Olympic US Women’s Alpine Skiers

He always had a love for art but when life left him “strapped” for cash John Frechette was forced to change direction and a new passion was born. Strapped Belts is the result; a store built around fused glass belt buckles, earring, cufflinks and other accessories.

Based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Frechette was lucky enough to work with training Olympiads Hailey Duke, Sarah Schleper and Megan McJames. These Team USA Women’s Alpine Skiers were in town getting in some last minute training before their events this week. Strapped Belts hooked up the ladies with great pieces such as belt buckles, rings and earrings. Sticking around for a photo shoot and a tour of the studio the women were excited for the fab gifts

(photos credits to Kelli Baxendale) 

I got the chance to ask Strapped Belts owner/designer a couple questions
What inspires you each day to create something different than the day before?
 The craziest things give me ideas. TV, Magazines, and lots come from friends and fans!

What were you feeling working alongside US Olympic Athletes?
 It was really great. I have been an athlete all my life (nothing close to the Olympics, but I played Hockey all through college) and it made my heart race to think about the opportunity these women have, and how hard they have worked to earn it and be at the Olympics.

If given the chance what winter sport would you choose to train in for the next winter games.
 I have tried with hockey and that didn’t work! I think I would be a snow boarder in the half pipe!

Today is a big day for Women’s Alpine Skiing, it the start Giant Slalom. Lets wish them the best and maybe their Strapped Belts trinkets will work as good luck charms.

Shop Strapped Belts for unique and funky jewelry and accessories and use coupon code OLYMPICS for 25% off your total order.

The Studio Danielson Designs

You know I love anything and everything personalized. Things made especially for children or for others from a child bring a sense family and pride. Whether it is something handmade, hand-painted, customized or just sentimental these are the gifts I love best.

Danielson Designs is an online studio of fully customizable plaques, signs and frames. Started in Trinidad, Colorado the Danielson family was thinking ahead to the next generation that needed employment in this little town. Pooling together their talents and knowledge they came up with Danielson Designs; a business venture that not only provides great home décor for their customers but also a way to build the community around them.

The Studio by Danielson Designs is taking gift giving and home décor to a new level.
Offering customizable decorative signs and frames, The Studio is the perfect stop for those one of a kind treasures for gifts or for the home. Designing a custom piece takes just minutes and ships in 2 business days. Personalizing signs and frames has never before been this simple and affordable!
The Studio offers a variety of signs and frames for almost any occasion or relationship. Every custom piece is made from 100% recycled wood and finished exclusively with water-based finishes. Better yet, in an industry that’s notorious for sending jobs to China, each and every custom piece ordered on The Studio is made in the USA.

I was asked to analyse something from their studio and it took me forever to choose. Not because there wasn’t anything I wanted but because the choices were endless. My first thoughts went to my new nieces, gorgeous name plates for their doors or above their cribs would’ve been gorgeous but then I looked at my own girls and knew what I needed. I settled on a customized frame “Just Us Girls”. We’ve had a great summer and I wanted to capture that so I ordered the frame with our names and Summer 2009 on it. The Sisters frame was my 2nd choice. It seems each time I look at the site I find a new design idea too, something for another important person or time of my life. The Studio is an easy to use tool with the ability to add your personalized content and color choices or use from their library of phrases or quotes. A proof is immediately available so that you know if the wording or names fit well.

The frame came and it was gorgeous, with a slightly aged and casual printing it is perfect for our home or its eventual home, Rob’s work desk. I’m even more impressed with the speed of the creation and shipping. The frame came in about a week, a wonderful thing to know for last minute gifts especially with prices from $25-$40. The selections are extensive also, from baby furnishings to wilderness themes to beach house designs you’re going to find something for every décor.

Danielson Design wants to help you get a jump on your holiday shopping. Take $10 off of each purchase by using discount code MAMAFOUND. This promotion ends October 9, 2009.

As a extra special treat Danielson Designs is giving LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! readers the chance to win a custom piece of your own. Visit The Studio and let me know what you would choose.
