HOPELights Magazine Subscription Giveaway!

Neighbors,

I have a neat magazine to share with you from HOPELights. It is for children with special needs. The magazine is sent monthly and comes with the child's name on the front. I received an online copy of the November issue to view. The magazine uses repetition, colors, and themes all to help your child learn and have fun while doing it. Every child I know loves to receive mail for themselves. Mine always got excited when something came in specifically for them. Please take time to visit their site and see more of what they are about and how they are helping children. Make sure to follow them on Facebook and Twitter to stay up on what they are doing.
You also might want to follow their blog. Please share this with others you know who might be interested in HOPELights magazine. If you know someone with a child that would use the HOPELights magazine send them to this review and giveaway. Thanks neighbors!
