Just a heads up that Dream Water is offering free samples of the 2.5 oz, Snoozeberry flavor. They will even cover the cost of shipping. I’m not sure how good this drink is as I did not review it personally (nor was I paid for this post).

Visit http://www.drinkdreamwater.com/free-samples for your sample and more details.  

About Dream Water

Dream Water’s sleep and relaxation beverages taste great, have zero calories and feature a proprietary formula of time-tested, all-natural active ingredients to help consumers relax and fall asleep, including GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) to help one relax, Melatonin to help induce sleep, and 5-htp (Tryptophan) to help improve the quality of sleep. The line is available nationwide at DrinkDreamWater.com.

In conjunction with its 15th year of producing award-winning DVDs and products for children, Brainy Baby® announced  that it will be giving away a free Brainy Baby DVD to each household across the country to help better expose infants and preschoolers to concepts like ABCs, music, shapes and colors.

Due to the success of the initial campaign roll-out in Dawson County, GA, Brainy Baby is now expanding the DVD Give-Away to help support parents and children on a national level. According to a recent article in the Dawson County News, Laura Crews, a Pre-K teacher at Kilough Elementary School began using the DVD’s in a pilot program for her class. “The DVD’s hold their attention and relate to the things they know,” Crews said. “The kids are enraptured by them. I use the Brainy Baby line of DVD’s with my own kids and even the DVD on Sign Language (Talking Hands) keeps the attention of my 8-year old,” she says.

Created by a team of early childhood educators and using a time tested and proven method of introducing and reinforcing preschool concepts, Brainy Baby DVDs have won more than 60 awards and offer a highly effective supplemental tutorial for parents who have children entering kindergarten. “We are constantly hearing from parents that kids are learning at an early age” says Fedoruk. “It’s all about teach and repeat, teach and repeat, and then review. Our DVD’s emulate this teaching method. That’s how children learn.”

The DVDs depict fun, live action scenes of real kids and objects from everyday life. Brainy Baby DVD’s expose children to basic preschool concepts like the alphabet, numbers, shapes and colors. Brainy Baby encourages parents to watch the DVD’s with their children so that concepts and images that are presented can be reviewed together and reinforced through verbal communication.

To take advantage of the FREE DVD campaign, participants must choose one DVD from a selection of four of Brainy Baby’s most popular titles (ABCs, Music, Laugh & Learn, or Shapes & Colors). The DVD’s are FREE; participants only have to pay $6.95 for shipping and handling. For additional information and details about the FREE DVD GIVEAWAY, visit www.myfreebrainybaby.com

Happy Knitting & Crocheting ladies!

Since we got the Sweet Pea 3 MP3, my son has been bringing it to bed with him each night as he gets to listen to songs as well as bed time stories which I had downloaded from the web. Nothing beats the bonding time when you read bedtime stories to your child but at times when we are too tired, these audio stories are a great help.

Here are two great sites which I would like to recommend for FREE children audio stories:

1. www.storynory.com – they have fairy tales, educational stories as well as junior stories
2. www.thestoryhome.com – my favourite as they have original stories that you can’t find elsewhere. I even like the presentation of the site itself – very welcoming to the eyes of a child

If you know of other similar sites, please feel free to share them here.
