So the girls and I mean all of the girls in our family love these Pop Its, so when I saw it in a game form I knew we needed to have one so I placed it on my wishlist. Low and behold one of the companies wanted a review so who am I to turn them down when I knew this would give some cheer to two of my favorite girls. Luckily my granddaughter was over this weekend so they both were able to open this surprise together. They were really excited, just check out my video here.
Years ago we had a small circle pop it game, you know way before they became popular. Now we see them everywhere but there are only a few that caught my eye. This one is one of them. I am so glad they are enjoying the time together while playing a new game together.
Being only three years apart they still like a lot of the same things which makes gift-giving really easy. I like easy and I love making them smile.
If you are interested in this pop it game which included a set of dice check it out below.

Summer vacation is just around the corner for my children while others are well into their vacations. As a mom I don't want my children to fall behind with their math or reading skills so I like to keep things on hand so they stay on level and maybe gain a few things too. The object for me is to make it fun as well as educational.
I found a great Math app to add to our lineup called Zapzapmath which you can find out more about here. I have a list of specs below for you as well. I was able to get ZApzapmath Home Premium to try for my girls and so far my oldest is loving it but have to wait for my grand daughter to get her so she can check it out as well. Make sure to read below for a nice discount on this app before buying.
What I love most about this is that one account can hold up to 3 children so you save even more if you have multiple children. I downloaded this on my Apple system, and it can also be downloaded on Android but please be aware that they do not support Kindle which was a bummer for us because they are the tablets we ended up going with when we upgraded everyone.
This is great for both the child who loves math and those who need to like it more then they do. While playing each child can accessorize their Avatar and build their own little world. Just think while they are having fun they are also learning which is a win win.
With zapzapmath home you will also get fun learning & math tools which are awesome to have on hand too. This is my opinion and one I think most parents will share with me. If you make learning fun then a child seems to learn better and they retain it much longer then if they just are working through something they don't like or do well at. Giving your child the right tools to succeed is so important in today's society, so why not make it fun too.
Zapzapmath goes from grades K-6 so this will take your little scholar a long way. You get 10 apps with over 180 games.

I have been a little down because my Fibromyalgia has been flaring up so bad that every part of my body has been hurting at the same time. On top of that I ended up with a Migraine. I happen to get Ocular Migraines so most of the time I loose all or part of my site during the Migraine.
I was trying to do a little computer work but it found it very depressing as my arms and hands were just so sore. I happened upon a shared link on my friends Facebook which you can see above. I like number so I took a guess I was sure I had it. No way it was wrong so I took a few more guesses until I finally figured it out.
I decided to post it on my facebook fan page Marksvilleandme to see if anyone would play along. As of a little while ago I was up to over 700 comments so I decided to do a little blog so my facebook friends could come and see the answer in one place and how it was solved. Sometime things are not as easy as they appear to be.
So we have ONE shoe that = 5
The the boy who = 5
The boy is holding 2 snacks 2+2 which = 4
The boy also has a pair of shoes which = 10
Add all this together you get 19
then we have one snack which = 2
Back to the problem
We now have
5+19x2=
by order of operations you do 19x2 first which =38
Now you have 5+38 =43
I had load of fun with this. It brought some cheer to my three days while I was in pain. I laughed, cried tears because I was laughing so hard, and kept updating my family about the progress. I hope you will join me on facebook with more rhymes, math, jokes, logic, and pictures like this. Lets keep our brains young and let our inner child run loose for a while. It is good for our hearts to enjoy everyday to it's fullest. Thank you everyone for having a little unexpected fun with me.
My second grader needs a little extra help with her math and reading so we have looked into a few programs and Splash Math was actually suggested by a few of the teachers in our school so as soon as I was able to I jumped at the chance to try this out on my daughter.
She loves it and hardly knows she is learning, but she likes the reading program we got her much better, so getting her to spend time on math has to be done before reading so that I can make sure she gets the extra help above and beyond what the school gives.
I suggest this for every elementary child to not only help those that are behind but to also help the child be able to use what they are learning in school while seeing it reinforced through Splash Math. Splash math covers grade K-5.
What Splash Math grade 2 has to say about their product. Splash Math makes math fun and engaging for kids.
