Mad Science Know Magazine
At the end of last school year, I made the decision to do a "Mama school" for my son. I knew that if he wasn't challenged during the summer, he would lose some of the skills that he had so painstakingly learned in preschool. Together we chose topics that interest with him and I spent oodles of hours prepping preschool lessons for us to do. As I prepared these lessons, I realized that most of them dealt in some way with science.
I am definitely a "humanities" kind of girl so this science thing is a challenge for me, but I love the fact that my little guy has such an interest in it. Recently we discovered a magazine that is perfect-it's called Mad Science KNOW Magazine. The magazine is colorful, informative, and most importantly, age-appropriate-for kids ages 6-9. My son is a huge fan of experiments and the magazine contains easy experiments with colorful pictures. You can check out the website here.
If you have a 6-9 year old with an interest in science OR you have a child who you want to instill a love of science, you will love this magazine published every other month. It's fun learning, but shhhh!! Don't tell your kids there is learning involved!

Totino’s Pizza Products and School Giveaway
This is a sponsored review from My Blog Spark and General Mills.
If you have kids like my kids, when they walk in the door, their very first stop is the kitchen. Sometimes I feel as if I spend my entire life in the kitchen, either preparing, serving or cleaning up from multiple meals and snacks each day. Totino's can help change how much time you spend in the kitchen, with their wonderful Party Pizza and Pizza Roll Snacks.
A great after school snack, my daughters and I found the Totino's Party Pizza to be delicious with a nice crispy crust. Many prepared pizzas have soft crust or doesn't cook evenly, but Totino's delivered a great snack pizza, straight from the oven, in less than 15 minutes. If I had to pick a negative about this pizza, it would be its size. I'd like to see the pizzas come in larger sizes that would more easily accommodate three (always) very hungry kids.
Totino's Pizza Rolls are also a nice after school snack that can take the place of less healthy options. Loaded with pizza sauce, flavorful oregano and cheese, Totino's Pizza rolls make a simple, yet yummy and healthy after school snack sure to please even the pickiest of little snackers. Note to Moms: be sure to set your time for the lowest time first so as not to explode your pizza rolls all over the place. Yes, I learned this the hard way.
You can also feel good about purchasing Totino's products because they participate in the Box Tops program. Box tops earn money for your child's school so there's even more reason to put them on your grocery list.
If you would like to win this prize pack, provided by My Blog Spark and General Mills, simply answer the following question:
What are your essential "school ingredients" for starting the new school year off right?
The contest ends on September 29th. One randomly chosen winner will receive a backpack, a pack of hi-lighters, a floppy calculator, a brand new binder, two mega glue sticks, some bonus Box Tops and coupons to give Totino's a try!
Good luck!
