Brilliant Sky Holiday Shopping

Hello Neighbors!

I just have to tell you about Brilliant Sky Toys and Books! This is one of those old time type businesses, where the customer is important. You can talk to real people not just a computer that puts you on hold forever. Before I go on I will tell you we were hoping to visit one of their stores while on our trip to Texas, but with some of the problems we had, we never made it. I would have LOVED to visit their actual store. Perhaps on our trip to Chicago soon, I will get another chance. The toys and games are all chosen with care. Brilliant Sky doesn't just want you to buy from them, they want you to leave delighted in what you have purchased.

For those who do not live close enough to actually visit one of their 15 stores, you can visit them online to shop. Number 16 is opening soon in Houston, Texas. Be sure to stop in and just peruse the selection of toys they have. I was impressed with the quality toys available. And Brilliant Sky has coined it's own Award system whereby they recognize outstanding toys. This year seven distinct toys made their list. The toys are for ages toddler to tween, not to mention adults enjoying at least one of them. These toys start at $16.99 and go up.

We received a Boogie Board. Here is why this toy was chosen:
Taylor bought it because: “This is more than just a toy - we are selling them to adults almost as much as kids. A great blend of technology, engagement, and creative expression.”
You can purchase the Boogie Board for $39.99. it is designed for ages 8+. My daughter enjoys this board where you can design, write notes, and draw, over and over again.
Here is the description of the Boogie Board:
The Boogie Board is a paperless drawing tool that is great for traveling, doodling, games, lists, memos, and diagrams- practically anything! Comes with a stylus, but can also work with the touch of a finger. It's pressure sensitive to create different thicknesses- just like a paper and pen. Erase with the touch of a button and bring it anywhere for countless hours of fun. The sealed 3V watch battery never needs replacing. Measures 8.8 X 5.6 X 1/8''

Another great feature of ordering online is, you get free gift wrapping on every purchase. Once again the goal of Brilliant Sky is to delight the customer. I know that I consider that a benefit when ordering online.

Now, this is just the type of shop I am always looking for. One where the customer is first. They go the extra mile for you. When you walk into Brilliant Sky you are greeted by a smiling face and you don't have to search for someone to assist you. Customer service is very important to me when choosing where to shop. So be sure to take a minute and if you live close enough, visit one of the Brilliant Sky stores. If not, stop by their online store and look around. Be sure to "like" their Facebook page to stay on top of what is happening at Brilliant Sky.

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.

Thank you all so much for your love and support over the years. ~Mercy

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
