And once you open it, look at all the herbal goodness on the inside. I love all kinds of teas, sweet tea, flavored teas, herbal teas... As much tea as I have had in my life, I have never tried loose leaf tea. So, I was not sure what to expect. It was very easy to do, all you need to do is infuse one teaspoon of your favorite blend into one cup of boiling water for 3-5 minutes. The longer you seep the more intense the flavor. The aroma of the tea filled my kitchen and the flavors had a nice twist to them. Depending on how sweet you like them you could go without or use your favorite sweetener.

My girls, ages 5 and 7, were both instantly engaged with the set.  My five year old loves that she can now make her own bubble solution.  Like most kids, she manages to spill her fair share of store bought bubble solution and she is now excited that she can refill her bottles on her own.  My seven year old loves that she can now create her own slime and clay.  By creating the clay and leaving it white, she also gets the chance to paint her project when it dries.  This is a wonderful set for elementary kids and I would recommend it as a mother and a teacher.  My girls are learning fractions without even knowing it.

Arnicare Gel Review and Giveaway

About Arnicare Gel:

    Brought to you by Boiron, world leader in homeopathic medicines, Arnicare Gel, made from Arnica montana, works naturally to ease muscle pain and stiffness due to minor injuries and overexertion. It also works to reduce swelling and discoloration of bruises. Arnica, a mountain plant from the daisy family, has been commonly used for centuries as a natural pain reliever and is recommended today by doctors, plastic surgeons and pharmacists—and used by professional athletes—worldwide.

My Thoughts:

    As most of you know, I suffer from chronic pain.  What you may not know is that I am not a big fan of pumping my body full of medicine.  When I was asked to review Arnicare Gel, I was very interested to see if it would be able to touch the pain that only strong narcotics had been able to touch in the past.  Seeing that it was an all-natural homeopathic remedy, I decided to give it a shot. "With Arnicare, there’s no risk of overdose, no contraindications, no drug interactions, and no side effects when used as directed. This unscented homeopathic gel is quickly absorbed by the skin, it’s non-greasy and paraben-free, and it does not contain methyl salicylate or camphor—common ingredients found in many pain relief creams which can be toxic in large doses. These benefits make Arnicare Gel safe for the whole family."  I was extremely surprised at the relief I felt after using it on my knees.  It felt a little warm immediately after applying the gel and within ten minutes I felt both knees relax.  It is definitely something that I will keeping around the house.  I recommend trying this product on your everyday aches and pains, as well as those painful bumps and bruises.

One reader of Between the Lines will win their very own bottle to try it out.  For those of you who are ready to try it out now,  Arnicare Gel can be purchased at Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid and Whole Foods, as well as independent pharmacies and health food stores for an SRP of $9.99.  Arnicare is also available in several other forms, including cream, ointment, and oral pellets and tablets. Don't forget to visit their website to snag your $1 off coupon before heading to the store.

 For 2012, Learning Resources has released a huge variety of new educational toys.  Amongst them is the Sentence Buildings.  These nine buildings contain various parts of speech to help children build sentence cities with over 300, double sided, color coded, durable cards. The parts of speech include: noun, verb, adjective, pronoun, conjunction, article, preposition, adverb, and punctuation.  Use as many or as few buildings as needed depending on the lesson your child is working on. These buildings are great for teaching or enforcing sentence structure and parts of speech. 

My girls, ages 5 and 7, both love this activity.  My five year old gets to work on creating complete sentences, including the correct punctuation and my seven year old gets to practice identifying the correct parts of speech.  She also helps her sister work on including the correct tense of a verb.  For example, one side of the card may say walk and the other will say walked.  They also love to play mad-lib style.  They will randomly select a card from each building and try to make a silly sentence out of it. Regardless of how they choose to play, the learning factor is always there.  This is a wonderful game/activity for elementary kids and I would recommend it as a mother and a teacher.

Since Vitalicious does not use any preservatives, I immediately stuck all my yummy new snacks into the freezer.  Whenever I was ready to try a new one, I simply microwave it for about 15 seconds or just let it thaw out for about 30 minutes.  The VitaTops are also good toasted after you have already thawed it out.  Besides the high fiber, low calorie VitaCakes, my favorites treats from Vitalicious are the Banana Nut VitaTops and the Fudgy Peanut Butter Chip VitaTops.  And at only 100 calories per Top, I could easily stick to my diet.  They are also an excellent source of Fiber and protein, so they were also beneficial to helping me stick to my diet.   My younger daughter's favorite was the Golden Corn VitaTop.  She is in love with corn bread and this was no exception.  My oldest daughter enjoyed the Deep & Velvety  VitaBrownies.  Her two favorite things, nuts and chocolate.   Of course they weren't as sweet as typical muffin tops, but they are perfect for those trying to watch what they eat and who are craving a little sweetness.

Time Timer Review and Giveaway

What is the Time Timer? It is a clever timer that shows elapsed time.

Is your New Year's Resolution to be more organized or have a ten minute cleanup? What better way than to use the Time Timer. Throughout your hectic day, the Time Timer is there to remind you when it’s quiet time... or yoga time... or dinner time. Today, more than ever, we are challenged to do more with less, and wherever time needs to be managed or measured, you can count on the Time Timer to make every moment count.

What about New Year's Resolutions for your children? Maybe a certain amount of time reading, or practicing piano? The Time Timer helps individuals judge how much time is left — even if they can’t "tell" time. Time Timer products feature high visual contrast, large dial numbers and ultra-quiet operation, making them perfect for special needs counseling, therapy and rehabilitation sessions. Perfect for both individual and group settings, the Time Timer helps make every moment count.


I currently home school both my daughters. We had the opportunity to review the 3" Time Timer and found it to be useful in our classroom. It was lightweight and came with a protective plastic cover.

My oldest daughter is working on Multiplication. We are working on increasing her speed in order for her to be able to quickly do her problems. So, we do a lot of drills. The problem we were having was that she would get so anxious with timers that tick or digital ones, where she could see the numbers quickly flying by. The time timer is a visual timer. It did not have any of those annoying ticking sounds or loud buzzer. My daughter said she felt like the time wasn't flying by and found it to be more enjoyable or as enjoyable as math drills can be.
It was also useful for my youngest so she could visually see how much time she had left or quiet time. Rather than the continuous question of How much longer? I will be taking it on our next road trip and setting it so that they can see just how much longer it will be to get to our destination!

Time Timer also offers many different products, timers (which come in 3 different sizes), watches, software, even Apps!  Would you like to win your own 3" timer for your New Year?  Simply fill out the Rafflecopter form below.  And for more information, check Time Timer out on YouTube.

Learning Resources Review and Giveaway

Do your kids love learning as much as mine?  Do you have trouble finding toys and games that are educational, yet fun at the same time?   Learning resources "is a leading manufacturer of innovative, hands-on educational materials for classrooms and learning toys for the home. For more than 25 years, the company has been a trusted source for educators and parents for quality, award-winning educational products."  Just visit their easy to navigate website and you will be amazed at how many wonderful products that your child would be interested in and benefit from.

Now I don't usually like to brag about my kids (5 and 7), but they are extremely smart.  They are both several grade levels ahead in reading, writing, and spelling.  However, I will be the first to admit that they both could use a little extra help when it comes to math.  For as smart as they are, they both seem to have a hard time with their simple math facts.  They can figure out longer problems that include basic math facts, but it takes them a long time.  As a mother and a teacher, I feel that it is important that kids know their basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division math facts.   I also think they should learn them so that they can answer without hesitation.  

The Minute Math Electronic Flash Card is helping them both reach that goal.  This fun little math game, encourages them to practice daily.  It even has them challenging themselves to beat their best score.  So far my 7 year old has received 13 out of 13 correct in one minute.  She has now set a new goal to get 15 out of 15.    Hear is a little more information about the Minute Math Electronic Flash Card from their website:

Encourages practice of operations (add/subtract or multiply/divide) and early algebraic skills related to equations and the commutative property

Offers a 60–second timed mode and a low–pressure untimed mode, plus 3 levels of difficulty

Reinforces arts of the equation through color–coded screen frames

Provides positive, corrective feedback—both visual and auditory

Durable, triangle–shaped unit with volume control measures 5.5"H

Requires 3AAA batteries, not included

For individual practice, or for 2–5 students answering together

Grades 1–3
