What The Go-To Mom Has Taught Me About Kids and Sharing

I am a huge fan of parenting books because as a mom I really can use all the help I can get!

Goosie Cards Personalized Flashcards [+ Giveaway]

Recently we were contacted by Goosie Cards, a company that specializes in personalized flashcards for children, about doing a giveaway on our site. When I clicked over and saw what a cute product it is, I wished I would have known about Goosie Cards when my girls were in their first year!

The first thing that came to my mind was how much I would have loved to make a set of flashcards of our entire family with pictures and names. Cards like Nana, Papa, Oma and Opa with the grandparent’s pictures on them. Because to a grandparent, there is nothing more exciting than when their grandbaby babbles their name for the first time. And what a great way to teach them! Keep reading below for a Goosie Cards coupon code and to enter to win your own set!

If that is the case, if you haven’t already taken the legal steps to name guardians for your children, I hope you might have the chance to attend this free workshop hosted by Darlynn Morgan of Morgan Law Group coming up on September 20th, 2011.

Space is limited, so register early.

I have had the pleasure of meeting Darlynn in person and have worked with her for over two years as a Tiny Oranges sponsor and she is a complete doll. She is a fellow OC mom, like us, and is there to help you figure out the steps you need to take to get your legal stuff in order…
