Radz Has Gone Wild!

Hey Neighbors!

Remember the Radz we previously reviewed?  Now Radz has gone WILD!  They have some really cute animals in their collection now.  We received Spanky the Monkey and Squeak the penguin.  They are adorable and the girls really like them!

So easy to fill with the candy and then dispense.  Just twist and remove their hair and then fill the little whole with the Radz candies.  They look so cute sticking out their tongues with a pice of candy on the end!

If you remember our previous review Radz dispense candy.  They clip on to your pocket, backpack, belt loop etc. so they can travel around with you.  Each Radz character comes with a special code to enter on their website so you can access free Apps for your iPhone, iPad or iPod.   There are games to play that are fun and easy!

 Priced from $3.99-$5.99 these are sure to become favorites.  You can collect all of them!  Along with the two we received, there is also Scratch the Tiger and Bandit the Zebra.

Our Radz are traveling with us!  Perfect to take along on our summer adventures, be sure to grab a Radz or two to join in on your summer fun whether you are taking a day trip or heading across the country, your child can enjoy taking their favorite Radz character with them.

Science Naturally

Hey Neighbors!

Here is a fun review from the TOS Crew.  We received the book: 65 More Short Mysteries You Solve with Science!  You can find the book at Science Naturally.  Now, I suppose you could plan to do one or two a day, one to three times a week, but I think this is perfect for trips.  Quick trips or long trips, trying to solve these one minute mysteries will make the time go faster.  Each mystery has a twist that you have to solve using your knowledge of science.  Some are easy, some are not.  The book is designed for children 8-12.

The mysteries were created by a father-daughter team, Eric and Natalie Yoder.  This is the third book in their series, so if you like it, you might want to check into purchasing their other books.

The book is broken down into chapters, with titles like:Life Science, Earth and Space Science, Five More Minutes of Mysteries, plus more.  There is a bonus section with five one minute math mysteries.

My family really enjoys having books like these on long trips.  We pull them out and work on them until everyone gets tired and then we put them away for later.  It is really fun trying to solve them together.  We often take turns reading the mystery so everyone is involved in solving at least one.  Also GREAT for relieving boredom when in a hotel room or waiting at a restaurant.

Be sure to see what other TOS Crew members have to say about Science Naturally!

$5 Amazon Gift Code!

Hey Neighbors!

How would one of you like a $5 Amazon Gift Code?  This is just going to be a fun giveaway!  I recently received a Gift Code and want to give it away!

I am on the road this week, so posts will be sporadic, but I still have plenty to go up, so keep an eye out! If I get a little behind just keep coming back.  I am trying to write them in the hotel and schedule them, but that did not work today.  Some of the family, three of the girls went to Six Flags over Texas, so we headed out early and didn't return until late!

Have some fun entering and expect some travel pictures soon!

Renting College Textbooks!

Hey neighbors!

I don't know how many of you attend college, or have children that do, but you might want to consider renting textbooks!  If you are interested take a minute to check out CampusBookRentals.com.  Here are just a few of the perks:
-save 40-90% off of bookstore prices
-free shipping both ways
-can highlight in the textbooks
-flexible renting periods
-we donate to Operation Smile with each textbook rented

Why not plan on saving by renting textbooks instead of purchasing them.  How many of you have gone to a thrift store or yard sale and seen textbooks out for $1-$2.  You know they are not making back the money put out on those books.



 Once you have a list of the books needed just visit the CampusBookRentals.com site and enter the title or ISBN # for the book you need.  Take some time to compare and see just how much you could save.

Also, they have a sister site where you can rent out your textbooks.  It is called RentBack.com.  you can use their search to find out what your college books are worth, and if they are needed.  Then you can rent your books out!  Seems pretty simple and easy to do.  Your books can be rented more than once, and you make money each time they are rented out.

And remember when you rent a textbook from CampusBookRentals.com you are helping someone through Operation Smile!  Operation Smile is a non-profit organization that provides free surgeries to repair cleft palate, cleft lip, and other facial deformities for children around the world.

Honeywell with Febreeze Freshness

Hey Neighbors!

I know you all saw my previous post regarding Honeywell and the Maid in America Contest, which I hope you all have taken time to enter.  If not be sure to go over and enter HERE!

Now the really GREAT news is, I received a Honeywell with Febreeze Freshness Tower Fan for review and, one neighbors will will receive one for winning this giveaway.

My daughter (15), claimed this the minute it came through the door.  They have been needing a fan in their room, to replace their box fan.  She LOVES it.  She set it up on the bookcase near their bunkbeds.  It rotates and this is another reason why she likes it so much!

The Honeywell fan is unique in the sense that it has a Febreeze scent cartridge that releases a pleasant fragrance as the fan blows.  Our scent cartridge is Linen and Sky, a very light, fragrance.  You can also set the amount of scent released.

The Honeywell Febreeze Freshness Tower Fan comes in two different sizes.  We received the shorter one, but there is a taller one available at Target ($59.99).

My daughters really like the Honeywell with Febreeze Freshness fan.  I like that it fits in a narrow area, yet puts out a good amount of air.  Yes, this is one I recommend to my neighbors!

Make sure to enter this giveaway and then head over and enter the Maid in America contest!  Make sure to follow Honeywell Plugged In on Twitter and then LIKE their Facebook page.

ID on Me

 Hello Neighbors!

I was given the opportunity to review an ID on ME Id bracelet.  It came in with perfect timing as we are heading out on the road again.  I like to have some form of ID on me when we are traveling since I am diabetic.  Although I have not had any problems, I do not want to have any while separated from my family.

I want to say here, this are not only ideal for medical IDs, but they are great to have for children, at sport activities, traveling, or anywhere you or your child might need to have an ID on you.  Mine has the medical symbol, but they are also available as an ID bracelet.  The ID bracelets have ID on the front and come in a variety of colors, as do the medical IDs.

The ID on Me compartment is water resistant, so this could be used at the beach or pool.  I tried it out in the shower (no Pics) and it stayed dry.  The wrist band is adjustable and you can purchase a band in XL if needed.  The wrist bands are black, but accessory bands can be added in grey or striped, the standard is black.

Included with each ID are 4 Tyvek strips where you write your information with a ultra fine point Sharpie.  You enter your information, including medical conditions, allergies, your name and the person to contact, then fold it up and place in your ID on Me compartment.  You are now ready to go.

With ID on Me there is no waiting for engraving, no downloads needed, all your information is right there.  And another nice thing is you can change it easily should the information change or become outdated.  You could also use it for different children if your children attend summer camp or sports.  Just change out the information inside.

What do you think neighbors?  With summer around the corner and many people planning trips, this would be a great investment.  The tags can also be attached to a shoe.  Or is you prefer they have tags you can put on a keychain or zipper pull.  Another great idea is to use these for your pet!  Bracelets are $14 each.  The ID Tags are $10 each or if you purchase 3 or more they are $8 each.  Be sure to visit ID on Me!

One neighbor will receive their choice of color ID on Me bracelet.

FLEXIO 590 Giveaway!

Hi Neighbors!

Most of you probably remember seeing my post on the Wagner FLEXIO 590.  I painted rocking chairs for my back deck.  They came out great!  I am planning other projects for using my FLEXIO 590 and will be doing other posts, but the company has offered to sponsor a giveaway and I thought you might have some projects you are thinking of doing and might like a chance to receive a FLEXIO 590.  You can find the FLEXIO 590 at stores like Lowes  or Menards for $129-$150.  you can see my original review HERE!

From WAGNER about the FLEXIO 590:

The new X-Boost Turbine™ runs at 60,000 rpms and is three times more powerful than traditional high volume, low pressure (HVLP) units that run at 20,000 rpms. This increased power is controlled with three simple and adjustable settings for air flow, pattern, and paint volume allowing you to paint a large room with single coat coverage or a small stencil to finish off your craft project. It’s 20 percent lighter than traditional airless sprayers and is as quiet as a hairdryer.

The new iSpray^® nozzle has a patented shaped opening that provides up to 60 percent more airflow to break up thick paints to provide a more even and consistent coverage. The unique needle-nozzle design also increases efficiency by 30 percent, which helps get every job done more quickly. The iSpray nozzle produces a slightly stippled, almost roller-like finish with today’s thicker paints, perfect for interior walls, and has the flexibility to spray thinner coatings with a smoother finish. The Detail Fine Finish nozzle is ideal for more intricate projects.

FLEXiO is designed to provide the power and flexibility to spray all coatings from a light-bodied stain to unthinned latex with minimal overspray. “The breakthrough technologies we’re introducing on the new FLEXiO hand-held sprayers make it one of the most versatile tools for DIYer’s that are seeking a professional finish on their painting projects,” says Arti Lyde, product director, Wagner SprayTech. “Plus, it’s really fun to use this sprayer and control the power we’ve engineered into it.”

The 1.5 quart cup holds enough paint to cover up to 125 square feet per fill and can easily be switched out for quick color changes or material changes. Prep work only requires basic masking so ceilings, cabinets, doors, and broad interior surfaces can now be sprayed faster, with better coverage, and without the tedious effort of a manual brush or roller.

So, since I will not be able to do another project in the next week or so...we are going on the road again, I am going to run this one a little longer and hopefully add another project before this ends.  I am going to add several ways to enter and a couple will be worth more as they will take more effort.

I do want to say up front, that the FLEXIO 590 is very easy to use.  It is the first time I have used a sprayer, I usually use a brush or roller for my painting projects and the FLEXIO 590 definitely saved me time.  We did two chairs in less time than it would have taken for one.

I mean look at the slideshow below to see how easy the FLEXIO 590 works!




Could any of my neighbors use a FLEXIO 590?  Be sure to enter the giveaway.  We are going to end this one on June 14th, that way perhaps you could give dad a note that he will be receiving a new FLEXIO 590. Unless of course you are like I am and want it for yourself!

Spanish For You!

Hey Neighbors!

Our next product from the Crew for review is the Spanish For You curriculum!  Do your children have an interest in learning Spanish?  Mine do.  We visit a few churches each year that have a Hispanic congregation, and although they speak English, it is also fun to be able to converse in Spanish.  Each of my girls has picked up a little bit just from having friends that speak Spanish, but we thought this would help a little bit.

We received the downloadable course Estaciones or Seasons. The courses are theme based.  I am going to mention first, I think I would recommend the actual, physical copy.  I don't know if it works the same with the physical copy of not, but there was quite a bit of searching done to find the appropriate lessons and activities.  This is supposed to be corrected.

There are audio files and activities included to be used with the curriculum.  This includes flash cards to print out and use with your child.  The lessons are set up for 4 days a week, but you could easily do 3 a week.  Each class should take approx. 30-40 minutes, depending on the activities you decide to do.  You can click HERE to see the Table of Contents and learn a little about the program.

Here is a little about the author, Debbie Annett, of Spanish for You from their website:
I have been teaching Spanish for grades kindergarten through high school for 14 years.  I have taught Spanish enrichment classes for grades 1 through 8, and all levels of high school classes for homeschool students.

I am an Illinois State Certified Teacher with a bachelor's degree in Spanish from the University of Illinois and a master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Northern Illinois University.  I have studied in Seville, Spain, and have 8 years of international business experience prior to becoming a teacher.  I currently teach Spanish classes for Tri-City Enrichment Homeschool Coop. for grades 3 through high school, as well as tutor students privately and provide after-school Spanish enrichment classes.

You can purchase the entire Estaciones download for grades 3-8 for $64.95.  One of the benefits of this is you have all the grade levels right there.  This is convenient for homeschoolers who have varying ages to teach.  You could easily use this with more than one grade.

We are headed to New Mexico soon, so perhaps my daughters will get a chance to try out their Spanish.

Sweet Treats! Dessert Pizzas?

Hi Neighbors!

Here is a sweet treat my daughters made.  It is sort of a pastry.  They made one cherry and one apple, and it is so easy to make.

Here is what you need:
1-can of refrigerated Cinnamon rolls  (We used Pillsbury)
1-can of pie filling 21 ounces (your choice)
1/4 cup of brown sugar
1 tablespoon butter (melted)

Open your can of cinnamon rolls and set the icing to the side.  You will use this later.  Separate the dough into the individual rolls and roll out or flatten into approx. 4 inch circles.  I think we did not flatten ours quite enough.)

Arrange them on a greased pizza pan, a cookie sheet will also work, overlapping edges.  Bake for 8 minutes at 400 degrees.

After this has baked 8 minutes, spoon the pie filling over the rolls, leaving approx. 1/2 inch at the edges.  (This will prevent the fruit from falling off.)

Combine the brown sugar and butter, then sprinkle over the pie filling.

Bake 6-8 minutes longer, or until edges are a golden brown.  Allow to cool and drizzle the icing over the finished pastry.  Approx. 10-12 servings.

Doesn't that look good?  The icing is dripping off the edges!

This was really good.  We used a low sugar apple pie filling.  We are planning to make this again soon!  This is a recipe you could fix quick if company showed up, or maybe for a ladies tea!

Now remember the recipe makes only one dessert.  We made two.  We are trying to decide what kind of pie filling to use next.  The dessert went really fast!  I think everyone had two pieces each!

And then it was gone!

Enjoy neighbors!  See you soon At the Fence!
