Gather 'Round's Letters and Numbers Curriculum

 


     First, take a moment to close your eyes and envision your ideal curriculum to teach your child their letters, numbers, sounds, and more. What would it include? Would it contain beautiful water color images to make the lessons come alive to your child? Would it incorporate nature study as your child has opportunities to learn about two new animals each week and interesting facts that capture your child's interest about those amazing animals? Would your ideal curriculum include bible and character study or contain short enough lessons that you can make it as short or as long as you desire? If so, this very well may be the curriculum that you have been looking for! 

     Letters and Numbers is Gather 'Round's preschool curriculum, which along with their kindergarten curriculum, Ready to Read Program (which starts with Burrows and Holes), can be used for pre-k through first grade! These two curriculum sets are skill based, not grade based, so while Letters and Numbers may be called their 'preschool curriculum', you can easily use it for kindergarteners, just as you could use Ready to Read through first grade. Each set contains four student notebooks and teacher's guides, which are designed for parents to place their children into the correct book based off of their child's mastered skills. 

     If your child has not yet learned their numbers, letters and sounds, then placing them in book one (pictured above) of the Letters and Numbers book would be a great option. If your child has learned them, but may need a refresher, consider starting your child in book three of the curriculum. However, if your child has completely mastered their letters and numbers and can tell you their names and sound quickly and out of order, then they may be ready to begin the Ready to Read Program.

Reusable Menstrual Sponge Tampons

Sponges purchased at Poseidon Sponges via Ebay.  www.poseidonsponge.com This next blog post has long been over due. I was meant to write reviews about a variety of menstrual items that I purchased last year, but then became pregnant! While I was able to test out many of the items I will be reviewing, one I was not able to. However, this particular post will focus on the sponge tampons, which I have used and have come to love. The sponges that I purchased are from a company called Poseidon Sponges, located in Greece. I made this purchase via ebay and chose this company's sponges over other sellers, due to price, quantity, the fact that they have strings attached to the sponges (makes removing them a breeze!), they came in a variety of sizes, and they came with tea tree oil cleaner. Please note that I am not affiliated with this company in any way and am not writing this post to endorse them in any way. I just to let my readers know what options are out there. Upon receivin

Dab Herb Makeup and Skincare. An Organic Etsy Shop

Dab Herb Makeup and Skincare ( https://www.etsy.com/shop/DabHerbMakeup ) is my favorite makeup shop offered on Etsy. Crissy, the shop owner, prides herself in offering effective, organic, food-grade ingredients and healthy, responsible containers to store her products in. Her glowing reviews on her shop speak for themselves. Here, the quality is evident and the products work. Her customer service is also remarkable. When I wear makeup, I find myself mostly wearing products from this shop. Let's take a look at Dab Herb's makeup which I purchased. Pictured above is the Organic Herb Foundation. This is my favorite foundation and it offers excellent coverage. For daily wear, I usually prefer less coverage, but when I want to get all glammed up this is my go-to product. It is blendable, buildable and my ideal foundation. The price is great especially considering the organic, food-grade ingredients that were carefully selected to give you unbeatable natural beauty. When compa

Living An Organic Lifestyle: The Hunt for Organic, Non-toxic Makeup.

Two years ago, I quit wearing makeup due to health and financial reasons. I had learned about the toxic effects that mainstream makeup can pose for one's health and it made me take a careful look at what foods I ate, cosmetics I used, and chemicals I subjected my family and I to. For someone who practically depended on makeup to make me look better than I felt, as I live with a chronic illness, it was challenging to muster up positive self-esteem some days. I began to look as poorly as I felt. As time passed, I began researching organic makeup. As living an organic, healthy lifestyle became so important to me, I knew organic makeup was the way to go. In addition to this requirement, I didn't want any makeup that contained toxic ingredients or that contained ingredients that I was not comfortable with, such as hydrogenated oils. I began my hunt for organic, non-toxic makeup armed with the realization that not all organic makeup is created equal or avoids the use of potent
