Mixbook Review and Giveaway

Hey Neighbors!

We are back home and boy am I glad! It was a wonderful week, but you always come back and feel like you need to recuperate.

Anyway, I have to tell you about Mixbook. I received a hardcover, 20 page, 11" x 8.5", landscape photo book. I love mine! I did a bunch of pictures from the last 2 years of just the family having fun. From trips, game night, basketball, kickball, pool time, birthday parties, eating out, anything that we had fun doing! The children really enjoyed looking through the book. I kept hearing, "I remember that!" or "Look at this one!" What a great way to store treasured memories for your family!

You can use Mixbook for vacation photos, school year, graduation, birth of a baby, wedding, you name it, and you can create a photo book from Mixbook to remember it by. A photo book from Mixbook would make a great gift for a wedding, baby shower, birthday, etc.

Mixbook has one of the easiest to use photo book pages I have ever seen. You upload your pictures, choose the background and layout, and then click and drag the picture to the position you want it in. You can choose from 1 picture to 11 pictures on a page. You can have captions for each page, captions for each picture, or no captions at all! You decide and it is your book. There is also an option where you choose your pictures and they will place them in the book for you. You can then make any changes you would like.

Mixbook is offering neighbors At the Fence a one time discount of 20% off. Just use the code FENCED20. You may only use this once, but there is no expiration.

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
