Those of you who have come here often enough know that I am a real advocate for kids education. I have been very busy and so haven't been posting much. Nevertheless, anything that encourages learning just grabs my attention. Hope to grab yours and make up for my absence with these contests, ideas and deals.

  1. I've met many bloggers here who enjoy writing (hey isn't that what blogging is all about) and have dreams of authoring a book. Heck I even completed a children's writing course eons ago. So if you'd like to make your dream a reality how about entering the Cherrios Spoonsful of Stories Children's Book Contest. The grand prize is a whopping $5,000.00. Entries close July 15.
  2. Are you one of those people who is just addicted to your computer. If you'd rather look at a screen than read a book or if you love getting free book you can download these for free. Wow Salem's Lot is there and I want to read that again.
  3. If your kids enjoy the computer let it be educational. Here is a site with some wonderful illustrated children's books which you and your kids can read for free with just the click of this link.
  4. Your kids will love their certificates awarded for improvement in reading or just for completing their art work, a book or a chore. Make their certificates with the Certificate Maker from Crayola. Reigster for free.
  5. I know some of you adults love the Harry Potter books. Nothing is greater than enjoying books together with your kids. Get free Harry Potter bookmarks here.
  6. Your kids won't learn if they lack nourishment. Hunger and learning do not go well together. So check out these places where your kids can eat for free.
  7. Don't bother to buy expensive software to help your kids to learn more about the world. They can do that for free right here. Just give them room to explore.
And ah yes how could I forget. Rush to take advantage of this opportunity at restaurant.com where today you can get a $25 gift certificate for 3 bucks. Just type in discount code TASTY.

ShopWiki for Mom

Saturday, May 02, 2009 Reporter: Dee 0 Responses
With Mother's Day on the horizon, husbands, partners and kids are trying to figure out the perfect gift for mom. At Shopwiki you can choose from over 230 million products and what I love about this collection of stores is the guidance you receive on the various options available.

So if your mom has a passion for sewing you can head over to the Housewares section and take a look at their sewing machines. You can bet that like other machines, these have come a far way from the old clunker Mom used back in the day. A list of the major manufacturers is available from which to choose and all kinds of assistance is provided for you to select the ideal one.

Most moms I know love a well organized bathroom and here you can get great tips and products to help mom to organize her bathroom so she can soak in comfort and style. From the over toilet storage tower to the ultimate shower organizer, there are a myriad of items to please your neat loving mom.

One the other hand if mom is susceptible to allergies or she just gave birth to a new born, she might appreciate the addition of moist air from a humidifier. The buying guide for these is very helpful allowing you to decide whether you want the cool or warm mist and providing you with reviews and comparable prices. Of course while mom is priceless to be sure, this Mother's Day cost is an important factor in any decision making process.
