Monkeying Around Dot to Dot Books Fun #GiftIdea

Hey neighbors!

Here is a fun gift idea for all ages. Monkeying Around makes the most spectacular Dot to Dot books I have ever seen. I am not talking your average run of the mill dot to dots, but some truly amazing dot to dots.

The easiest are probably the original The Greatest Dot to Dot Books (#1 - #4). To me they seem to start out easy and slowly increase in difficulty. Next up would be the Super Challenge Books (#5 - #8). Then you have the Adventure Dot Books #1 and #2, these two are simply amazing to me. I am always surprised by the detail in these dot to dot books! They also carry smaller, Mini Travel Newspaper Books (#1 - #8). I have not tried any of these, but I am sure the quality is the same as their other books.

Monkeying Around has just released their newest book the Adventure Dot Books #2, and I was given the opportunity to review it! It just came in Monday and I have already jumped in and started some of the Dot to Dots. As I stated earlier, these are not just simple dot to dots. Many of these are quite intricate. You need to pay attention and of course read the directions. Some of them you go from dot to dot in numerical order stopping when you come to a star and then starting at the next number. It doesn't sound too difficult until you realize we are talking about dot to dots that number 400 and more dots! It is so much fun! We brought ours on our trip with us to Chicago. The only problem in doing dot to dots in the vehicle is you have to be on a reasonably smooth road!

Some of the puzzles are a little different. You have some that each dot has a word beside it and you need to connect the dots in alphabetical order. Others are stars, circuits, crazy, symbols, etc. Each page describes the puzzle and how to complete it.

Here are a couple of recommendations I have regarding the Monkeying Around Dot to Dot books: 1. Use a sharp pencil. 2. Have a small ruler on hand for those long lines. Sometimes it is difficult to draw a straight line that is half a page long. 3. Purchase more than one so everyone can play at the same time. Our first couple books we actually had to take turns sharing! Now we have enough that everyone can work in one at the same time.

I really believe these would make a GREAT gift for anyone who can count and follow instructions. Make sure to add a couple to your gift buying! You could also use colored pencils or perhaps crayons and color in your dot to dot picture. They would look nice in a frame!

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
