Product Name: LeapFrog Fridge Phonics Magnetic Letter Set
Submitted by: Dana Klopfer; Jacksonville, FL
Rating: 10
Where to buy: Amazon or Target (Current Amazon Coupons are here: http://www.susies-coupons.com/books.htm - Current Target.com Coupon Codes are here: http://www.momscape.com.com/coupon-codes/target.htm)
Description: This is a letter reader magnet for your refrigerator. It comes with all 26 letters and 10 numbers. It teaches the letter and the sound of each letter. It also has an off/on switch and volume control.
Review: My daughter received this as a first birthday gift. Even though she is still a bit too young to know how to put the letters in the reader, it keeps her busy while I make dinner and she loves to carry the base that plays music around the house with her. I learned quickly to only have a few of the letters in her reach. If you let your child have access to all letters and numbers, you will be picking up pieces all over the house! She loves to press the little button that plays the ABC song. I like the fact, too, that unlike other alphabet magnets the LeapFrog set has the magnets hidden within the larger size letter. The size of the letters and numbers are perfect for little hands.

Rating: 8
Where to buy: WalMart.com ( Current Wal-Mart.com coupons are here: http://www.susies-coupons.com/wm.htm )
Description: The Leap Pad Learning System given children the skills they need to start school. It is a interactive learning system that teaches children letters, numbers and words though fun games and music. This model is light-weight and portable. Works with snap on books and cartridges.
Review: I really like this product. My son received this as a Christmas gift. He likes to play with it when on long car rides and it keeps him entertained and he is learning something at the same time.
It is a little expensive, and the books and cartridges are a little expensive too, but we all know that children love repetition, so my son is happy and entertained with the 4 books he has, and has never asked for any more. His older cousins like it too, so I would be a nice thing to give as gift to a family, because all the kids can play with it.

Product Name: Parents Plush Elephant Rocker
Submitted by: Dana Klopfer; Jacksonville, FL
Rating: 10
Where to buy: Target or Amazon (Target.com Coupons are here; Amazon.com coupons are here)
Description: Elephant wood rocker base with foot rests. Heavy duty will not tip over. Made with sturdy hand washable fabric. Features an umbrella on the trunk and a small mouse along for the ride on the elephant’s leg.
Review: My daughter received this rocking elephant as a first birthday gift from a family member. It was absolutely the hit of the party! Once we put her on it she instantly began to rock back and forth and make the silliest faces. When she finally did get off the elephant all of the other children at the party began to take turns riding on it. Their ages ranged from 15 months to 4 years. Our 2 year old nephew seemed to be fascinated with the umbrella on the trunk of the elephant. Even though it is only for decoration purposes you can flip it back and forth which is what he enjoyed doing repeatedly. I loved that it is not made with traditional baby colors and patterns. It fits in well with our décor and we love having it in the family room where our daughter can get on and off as much as she would like. She truly never seems to tire of it.

Product Name: The Busy Woman Planner
Submitted by: Rebecca White; Sylvania, OH

Where to buy: http://www.thebusywoman.com
Description: A planner for all your organization needs. The Busy Woman planner offers direct sales pages, holiday planning pages, weekly and monthly pages that are not dates so you can use them when you need them, purses to hold your planner and so much more.
Review: Is your life disorganized? Are you always searching for items and not knowing where all your notes, car information, children’s shot records and such are?
For years, every January, I go to our local Office Max and spend hours looking for a planner that can fit all my needs. I am a mom, a soccer manager, a business owner, a direct sales rep and NONE of the planners at the store had all the informational pages I need! The Busy Woman Planner changed all that! Why? The Busy Woman Planner is a planner you can customize to your specific needs. The Busy Woman Planner also has direct sales rep packages! How cool is that! For example there are contact page, business expense envelopes, mileage papers, and so much more! With tons of pages to select from you can be sure that The Busy Woman Planner can be customized to your life.
I now can keep all my soccer manager items, my AVON business contacts, my personal information for the kids and doctors in one convenient place. I even have the credit card holder and got rid of my wallet all I have to do is grab my planner and go!
There are budget pages for you to keep track of your monthly expenses, blank note pages for you to use anyway you need. So, if you are truly looking for an organizer that fits each and everyone of your life’s needs.
Susie is excellent; she called me to talk to me about what specific needs I had. She was very personable and I loved talking to her. I even got the planner CD that explains how to set up your planner. To listen to this CD makes you feel like Susie is in the room with you helping you set up the planner. I highly recommend you purchasing the CD when you purchase the Planner. Susie talks about what type of personality you are and the best way to set up your planner to go along with your personality type.
I am a type A, so that means I am highly organized and well too organized to where it seems I am not if that makes any sense. Susie showed me how to set up the planner to fit my personality and wow was she right, now all I have to do is go to each day or category to find exactly what I need. I ordered the planner and had it within 3 days! Talk about fast service

Submitted by: Candace Sabo; San Antonio, TX
Rating: 10
Where to buy: www.Target.com (Target Coupon Codes are here)
Description: The Parents Young at Art toy is a magnetized drawing board. It is the perfect size for little ones ages two to five. It’s bright and colorful and has a padded underside so it sits comfortably in a child’s lap without sliding around. It has a curved handle for easy carrying. It also has an automatic wind-up retraction erase lever. At the top of the toy there are four removable magnetic animal shapes to enhance any picture. It’s very affordable at $14.99.
Review: I absolutely LOVE this toy! We bought it for our two year old daughter, but all of our children, ranging in age from 14 to 2 want to play with this toy. We’ve owned Magnadoodles before, but this one far exceeds the others. We love the padded underside and the automatic retraction erase lever. We’re going to have to get the other children their own. The kids love the removable shapes to add to their creations! We definitely give this a 10!

Review: I have never found anything like this. I have recommended it again and again. It is perfect for anyone who has children or works with Children. I am not an affiliate for them, and I do not know the owners. I just believe in the printouts they sell. For $20 a year you have access to them all. Well worth it for help with my daughters school year.
