Ugly Ted

Hey neighbors!

There is an awful lot of talk going on about bullying right now.  It has reached an all time high.  For some reason children have been taught if you look different or talk different it is OK to make fun of someone and sometimes it escalates to more than just words.  Now, I came from a family where we had friendly teasing, that sometimes went overboard, but nothing like what goes on today.  My own children have been diligently taught that you do not make fun of someone.  When teasing starts I like to ask, "Is everyone having fun?  So I was excited to receive Ugly Ted for review.  I just have to tell you the first thing one of my children said upon seeing Ugly Ted was, "Mom, he is so ugly he's cute!"  Well needless to say, Ugly Ted has found a home where he will be loved and well taken care of.
Shy!

Slowly peeking out!
Seriously, Ugly Ted is not your average teddy bear.  He has one ear larger than the other.  His nose is crooked, and so are his two front teeth.  His body, arms and legs do not match his head as far as size.  Poor Ted, will anyone love him as much as they do other teddy bears?  Yes!  Especially now my daughter has seen him!  I have a feeling he will be going with us to Chicago soon.

Now if you would like your own Ugly Ted you can purchase him online for $16.99. Not a bad price for such a lovable little guy.  Presently on their website there are 4 stories about Ugly Ted that you can share with your children.  They are also available in PDF format so you can print them off for your children to read.  On the site a downloadable Adoption Certificate can be found that you can fill out to adopt Ugly Ted.  And last but not least, that is where you can sign up for the Ugly Ted Newsletter.


Ugly Ted can be found on Facebook and Twitter, so be sure to look him up. And while researching Ugly Ted, I found out that they are working on releasing Ugly Ted's best friend Squirky Squirrel.  I am so excited to be able to share Ugly Ted with my neighbors here At the Fence.  One of my neighbors will receive their own Ugly Ted to love.  I think maybe he should have been named Cute Ted!

Disclosure:I received no monetary compensation for this post.  I did receive one Ugly Ted for review purposes.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Scared!

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
