PenAgain Review and Giveaway!

Hey Neighbors!

We had a little snow already and we are supposed to have more tonight. The newest product is PenAgain Pens and Pencils. Now, these are not your ordinary pens and pencils. These pens and pencils are designed to teach you how to write comfortably and to take strain and stress off your hand and fingers. These pens and pencils are very comfortable to use after you get used to the new design. (It really doesn't take long!) PenAgain is designed with your hand in mind. They are smooth and reasonably soft with a groove for your index finger to rest in. I found that my hand does not seem to cramp like with regular pens. I received a set of 2 Twist and Write Pencils, 3 Original PenAgains, and 1 PenAgain Ergosleek. The Ergosleek is heavier, and made of metal.


These are the Twist and Write above. They have erasers on the side of the curve.



According to PenAgain:

"When you first use the PenAgain™, you'll immediately notice how different it feels from other pens. This is a natural feeling because your hand is trying to unlearn a lifetime of poor writing habits. It's not your fault.


Until now, pens have typically been designed with only two
things in mind: money and manufacturability. But the PenAgain's primary focus is comfort.

The human hand dictates the design. Even though it may feel str
ange, try to resist the urge to grip the pen with your fingers. Just let your hand relax, and let the weight of your hand hold the pen in place. You'll feel tension of writing melt away.

The PenAgains are very pleasing to the eye and are guaranteed to be the most unique gift you have ever bought for yourself or for a loved one.

Just see what happens when you use one at your next group meeting, sitting in class or even signing your credit card slip at the store. It starts with its a puzzled look, then a request to hold it, then the inevitable "Where can I get one of these?"

Be prepared to let others try it, they will demand it! Also another bit of advice; keep an eye on it at work, they have been known to disappear suddenly."


As PenAgain states you feel the difference immediately. At first I tried to grip the PenAgain. But if you force yourself to relax and continue writing you will notice that you can still write without gripping the pen tightly. My children really like them too. My 13 year old uses hers for taking notes and she likes how comfortable they are.

The Ergosleek is my favorite. I like the way it feels and how it writes.

These would make a great addition as a gift for someone. Throw in a journal or diary and you have a nice little gift basket. You can purchase PenAgain at local retailers or on the PenAgain Website.

The winner of this giveaway will receive:

1 ErgoSleek PenAgain in the color Chrome.

3 two-packs of the Twist-n-Write which are pencils made for kids.

2 three-packs of the Original PenAgain

I agree. It would be easier for young writers. I think it looks like a wish bone. I hope I win.

I love the shape. It would be helpful when my MS is acting up and my right hand doesn't want to hold a regular pen.

Love the design. The ergonomic design will assist not only young writers, but also older ones dealing with arthritic fingers.
I'd love the opportunity to try one out.

I found it interesting that Colin dreamed of the pen years later and again pursued the idea. Kids are so creative - I wonder how many other ideas he had as a child?

This looks fantastic! I visited the site, I especially love the twist and write ones. I like that the pencil doesn't need sharpened. My 6 year old still has trouble holding a pen, and my left handed 3 year old needs help learning too. The design of these would really help!

What is unique is the design of how you hold the pen/pencil, I have never seen this nor used one like this. I would love to try them out and see how they feel to write with.

what I like is the unique design, and how it is meant to move with the natural movement of your hand, not the forced gripping we currently do. Having had arm and hand surgery on my writing hand, these ergonomically correct writing instruments are great to keep me from re injury as well.

I think it was interesting to note that Colin had found a bendable type pen in the flea market and converted it to a comfortable shaped writing instrument as a teenager, but didn't follow up on his dreams until 20 years later.

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child.  Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First  TV.  Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age.  And it works!  Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life.  Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words.  Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing.  There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along.  The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish.  Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer.  Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.

 Hey neighbors, its with a heavy heart I let you all know that my mom (Lori) unexpectedly passed away the end of June. Our family has been taking the time between now and then to be together and remember what a light mom was. I came on towards the end of last year and was planning on fully moving my interviews and review to this website. I intend to to so partially to keep mommas beautiful website going. Thank you all so much for your love and support over the years. ~Mercy
