COMMUNITY AWARENESS

The Toy Industry Association has recently launched a new toy safety website at www.toyinfo.org. Aiming to both reassure and educate consumers on the industry’s rigorous safety standards and testing processes, the site contains answers to tough questions on what the industry is doing to ensure safety and how parents can help. If you’re a parent who’s concerned about all the latest toy recalls, you have to check out this site.

COOL WEBSITES

I don’t know about you but I’m always looking for ways to make my holiday shopping a little easier. eBeanstalk whose mission it is to “plant the seeds that help children grow,” helps to take the guesswork out of choosing entertaining, yet developmentally and age-appropriate toys for kids. Use the code WOOLGATHERINGS to receive a 10% discount. Thank you to Melissa for the hat tip!

If you’re a Precious Moments fan, you’ll love this new website. Precious Moms offers tools to make the most out of life’s celebrations, including practical advice from real world moms, party-planning tips and recipes, and inspirational messages. Mothers who visit the site will be able to interact with other moms across the globe through message boards, articles, videos, podcasts and blogs. In addition to the content on the site, moms can benefit from the Precious Moms e-newsletter. Subscribers to the e-newsletter within the first 90 days will be eligible to win a one-year membership to either the Collectors’ Club or the Fun Club for kids! These coveted memberships come with many benefits including access to exclusive figurines, publications and events.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

There’s a new carnival in town – The Military Family Carnival. This carnival is basically for military family members and spouses, however, military personnel are welcomed, too! As an incentive, a monthly prize will be given to all participants for that month. How cool! For more information, stop by An Army Wife’s Life.

Do you love books? How about free books that have yet to be released to the public? HarperCollins has a program called First Look where you could be selected to read & review tomorrow’s books today!

GREAT DEALS
