TOS Review Crew: Math U See
As part of the Schoolhouse Review Crew, I received the Delta books from Math U See as well as the DVD that teaches the lessons, and manipulative blocks.

Honey Bunches of Oats Tropical Blends: Review and Giveaway
I recently received for review a box of Honey Bunches of Oats Tropical Blends. With 10 grams of whole grain, 120 calories and 6 grams of sugar, they rank higher than Honey Nut Cheerios (an all-time favorite in my house). But… how do they taste? The box was gone in two days. I’m thinking the […]
