Pink Dandy Chatter's Giveaway

Pink Dandy Chatter is giving away a timer from Time Timer.  These timers are a great way for little ones to visualize time -- great for the relentless, "How much longer?" type of questions.  This is the very type of timer my child's Occupational Therapist recommends for kids with auditory sensitivities.

There are many ways to enter.  The giveaway closes on Sunday, October 23rd at noon so check it out!

Doozeedad's Fun Giveaway

Doozeedad is giving away some fun magnets and a sushi stapler.  There are several ways to enter.  The giveaway closes on 10/4.

If I win, the magnets will give me an edge in the pantry refrigerator war with my kids.  We leave each other [subliminal] messages in either the preschooler's letters or the AWOL words from the magnetic poetry set.

Give aways

A Lemon Squeezy Home
Cole's Corner 
no big dill
Mod Podge Rocks (which I may already link to somewhere.)
