Grandma Rocks CD Give-A-Way!

For those that have kept up with my blogs, I'm constantly searching for fun blogs. As I've mentioned, when I'm asked to follow someone on Twitter I always click to find out more about the individual. I look at their websites and blogs. It's amazing how many wonderful mom's I've met this way.

My latest find is a blog called "Potamus Prefers" Shannon the creator of this blog is a SAHM mom of two toddler boys born 366 days apart. She enjoys writing, taking photographs, spending time with her husband, two boys and two dogs. The name of this review blog came from her oldests nickname. He is her "little Finleypotamus", which has now been shortened to Potamus!

Shannon just reviewed our Children's CD, Grandma Rocks. Along with the review, she filmed her children dancing to the music. (Very cute!)

Shannon wrote: "Looking for a fun CD of music that not only your kids will enjoy dancing to, but that won't assault your ears? How about one you might just enjoy yourself when the kids are napping (I won't tell anyone you listen to kids music while their napping if you don't... it's our secret).

"Grandma Rocks includes 13 songs. My favorites are "Oh Baby" and "Are We There Yet?". The boys seems to really enjoy those as well."

She continues, "In addition, late last year they launched Grandma's Shoppe . Take a look. They have so many wonderful things, from creative items to personalized items to scribble pads. They have so many things that would make a great Christmas present."

Visit Potamus Prefers and enter to win a Grandma Rocks Children's CD.

Thanks Shannon!

Why Parents Love Our Scribble Pads!

When I was a child my parents used to take my brother and I to a museum and give us each a pad of paper and a pencil. We would walk around the museum until we found the perfect painting to draw. We would sit in front of it and draw our interpretation of the painting or simply draw whatever inspired us. Sitting and drawing in this environment was such fun.

It is so important for children to express themselves through drawing and writing. Our Scribble Pads can be ordered with blank paper throughout the pad or with paper that has an area for a drawing on top of the page and lined paper beneath it for the child to write on.

I can't even imagine how excited I would have been to have had a Scribble Pad with my name on it and a really cool design. Our Scribble Pads include FREE personalization! Just choose a design from our "Design Choices", and add your child's name, it's that simple!

Parents love our scribble pads because they are laminated and easy to clean, encourage creativity, have a wonderful personalized cover and are one of a kind! Oh, did I mention that a mom-preneur created our pads. Mom's know our customers best!

Why We Love Our Journals!

Grandma's Shoppe is always on the look-out for products that are special ,a little different and not something that you'll see elsewhere. That's why we fell in love with these journals.

Each journal has a custom design on the cover. We have a design area where you can pick the design that you love. It's a unique canvas iron-on that has been sealed with a waterproof process. The designs are all created by an artist and not "clip art" The covers have been custom sewn to fit a standard composition notebook. This means, when you've finished writing, drawing and doodling in your notebook and all of the pages are used up... you can remove the cover, spot clean it with a damp cloth and put the cover onto another composition book. (The kind that CVS and Target sell!)

Personalization is Free! Take a look at our most popular designs. Whether you or your child are interested in monsters, flowers, fairies, trucks or a simple first letter of your name, we've got you covered.

Oh, and what makes this journal extra special? It's the creation of a mom. It's actually the work of a mother and daughter team. At Grandma's Shoppe, we love working with Mom Preneurs. Their products are well thought out, and well, you know how mom's are...they put a lot of love into everything they do!

Our Journals are regularly $14.00 but we are running a 20% off special though September 30th.

They are now only $11.20. (a perfect price for birthday gifts, and it's not too early to start thinking about the holidays)

We recommend our journals for all ages!

Happy Friday!

Left Handers Day!

I was very surprised to learn that Thursday, August 13, is Left-Handers Day. I had no idea that there was a day dedicated to left handers. The celebration began in 1992 by a support club called The Left-Handers Club!



Approximately 10% of the population is left handed. There are many famous left handers including, Prince William, Marilyn Monroe, Leonardo da Vinci, Jimi Hendrix, Martina Navratilova and Nicole Kidman. The members of The Left Handers club voted Barack Obama The Left Hander Of The Year 2008!

Our oldest daughter is a lefty. When she started playing softball we were never sure whether or not she needed a mitt for her left or right hand. It turned out that she needed a lefty mitt but who knew...she wasn't able to catch with either hand. It wasn't until she got older that we figured it out! She kicked stronger with her right leg in soccer and with bowling, well she still isn't sure if she bowls with her left or right hand, seems she's not very good either way!

I showed her some of the lefty websites this morning after announcing how excited I was that there was a day dedicated to left handers. We've purchased special scissors and notebooks for her in the past. I have a feeling that some of the kitchen items may be very helpful to her. Especially the measuring cups. I'll have to do some more research!

When I asked her if she felt that there were products that she's have difficulty with, she mentioned that the one thing that she always had trouble with was opening her locker in school. She said she couldn't open the lock easily. She also mentioned that most of her friends could open it and then hook it back on the hook. This was impossible for her to do!
If you're interested in checking out some left products check out the Left Hand Zone
Our daughter has been blessed with all of the qualities that lefties are said to possess, she's creative, artistic and imaginative.


To all of my friends that are left handed, Happy Left Handers Day!

Free Advertising for Mom-Preneurs

In my search for the "perfect blog" I came across a blogger that is helping mom-preneurs and their businesses.

I belong to a wonderful group called, The Mom Entrepreneur Support Group. It is an interactive group that allows mom entrepreneur members to network with one another and share their stories and advice for balancing motherhood and running a company. (Membership is free)

While reading an e-mail from one of the members of The Mom Entrepreneur, I came across an e-mail from Abbey Fatica. She asked if any members would like to be a part of her new blog, Living My MoMent. Abbey mentioned that she wanted to help mom's with their businesses by offering free advertising on her blog.

Her idea was , "to be an advocate for those MoMs earning a living by being their own boss and by keeping up with the demands of Motherhood. I will also have a blog that will give my thoughts on living in our country today and how my family is surviving the downward turn that our economy has taken and the sacrifices that this mom has to make"

I contacted Abbey and sent her the required information. Grandma's Shoppe is now featured on Living My MoMent. Living My MoMent is filled with daily MoM tips to make your life easier, MoMbiz specials, MoM Give-a-ways, and recommended MoM books.

Abbey's husband John helped create a beautifully designed, and well organized blog. If you are a mom entrepreneur and would like to be featured on Living My MoMent, please contact Abbey
Thank you Abbey for your wonderful blog. Grandma's Shoppe is looking forward to keeping up with your new adventure.
