Usborne Books ~ Giveaway ~ 2 Winners!

Congratulations #94-Julie and #16-Stephanie...YOU WON!!!

image

Usborne books are awesome. I drool over the tables at homeschool conferences, I thumb through the catalogs, and envy my friends who have tons of their books. When Stacie contacted me to see if I would be interested in hosting a review/giveaway I said YES, happily! When we got the review products in the mail it was pure joy! She generously sent us these awesome products {click on the images to see details}…

image image image image

We loved everything so very much, but I must say the book, In the Castle has been read SO many times already. Seriously…a new VERY FAVORITE BOOK around here.

I love this shot of Ladybug asking me to help her get the puzzle out. She loves these books {we have 2 like this}. Krash still loves them too! IMG_4680

Pac Man enjoys his USA States and Capitals Learning Wrap. He said it is MUCH better than writing on a worksheet! We have been studying USA Geography a ton lately, so this was perfect for him! IMG_4984

Krash and I are looking forward to working through the 123 Sticker Book together during our preschool time! We are just so thankful for the wonderful items Stacie sent to us! I highly recommend each item!
