Did you check out my review from BeltOutlet.com a couple days ago? BeltOutlet.com has lots of accessories to keep you warm and looking good this winter. I received a couple items myself as you’ll see in my review and I couldn’t be happier with the quality. In fact, I have the pajama pants on again, right now. Soft, warm and cute. I love the thick pink kitty baby hat and matching mittens for my daughter. I’ve been using them whenever we go out of the house since here in PA it’s been cold (and colder yet this weekend!)
If you haven’t stopped by BeltOutlet.com you should check it out. They have nice stocking stuffers, add on gifts, and coordinates for the winter. Also follow BeltOutlet.com on the following social media channels:

There are so many toys on the market for little ones. Choosing the right one is hard. I know my 4 year old son is happy as long as it’s something fun. I prefer to get him something that has some educational or developmental aspect to it. I also like it to be interactive and keep his interest.
My son started 4 year old pre-school this year. He’s doing well so far but anything I can do to carry over lessons at home is good for him. EducationalInsights.com is a perfect place to go for fun educational toys like the Hot Dots Jr sets for Pre-school to Grade 3. They are available for reading and math and has appropriate lessons for each grade. I chose the pre-school reading kit for my son. I think we need to work more on his letter sounds and letter recognition. This set ended up being a fun way to do it.
This is the kindergarten Math set
Off the bat I love this set because there’s not a million pieces to it to lose. It comes with “Ace” the talking teaching dog” pen. It does require 2 AAA batteries that aren’t included. There is a volume control button on it. You can actually set it for no sound and the eyes just light up green or red for right and wrong answers. Then there are 3 different levels for the speaking sound. I really like this as well because if it gets to be too much just turn off the sound. The pen is chunky so it’s easier for little hands to grasp.
The Pre-school reading set came with 2 books to use. There are 85 activities and 15 advanced activities. Lessons start of simpler with matching letter to letter. They advance to things like showing a picture of an octopus and asking them to find the letter the picture starts with and showing a letter and they find all the pictures in the box that start with that letter. There are lots of activities though. My son was very engaged with this set and and it made me very happy. I did a short video to show him using it.
My son used this off and on the first day we received it to review. I did have to give him some guidance on what to do for some of the lessons.
The only thing I would like to see different with this set is, the dog only responds to the dots. With the letter/picture matching I think it would be nice to be able to touch the pen to the picture and have it say the name of the picture so my son would know what it was. For instance there was a pair of pants in one activity and the letter was J. My son said it was pants and did not start with a J which would be correct but they were actually jeans so it would start with a J. Other than that, this set was a fun tool to use with my son.
Another nice aspect, it’s affordable. Regular price on the site is $24.99 but they’re on sale at the time of writing this post for $19.99! My son has been playing with it a little each day, pulling it off the shelf on his own and using it. When an educational toy can get my son to do that, I have to back it.

My daughter is 7 months old and starting to crawl. A very curious baby she is, as most are. We had a night light in one of the 2 outlets in her room. I put her on the floor the one day and she quickly crawled over to the night light and started playing with it. I unplugged it immediately but it made me realize I put off some of the baby proofing for too long.
coverPlug is an easy way to make your outlets nearly invisible to babies.
The plastic pegs that you see on the back insert into the ground openings of the outlet. Simply line up the pegs with the ground opening and press it into place. No tools needed.
The majority of the outlets in our house that the baby can get to are on the white trim of the house so they blended in fine. They are made to blend in with the wall “out of site out of mind” But say you’re outlets are on a..um I don’t know, purple wall maybe. coverPlugs are paintable. You can paint them to blend in with the wall.
My children were always facinated by the outlets at some point. I bought those little clear plastic plugs to put in them with my older boys. It worked ok for a while but they were still curious about the outlets and even eventually figured out how to pull those clear plugs out. With the coverPlug, the outlet is completely covered and blends in. Not as interesting to the little ones.
As for my daughter, the top picture is the outlet in her room. You can see it’s right the perfect line of site for a crawling 7 month old. She hasn’t bothered to go near the outlet since I put the cover on it. You can check out their “Where to Buy” section for online retailers that carry coverPlug. You can also find them on Amazon:
