Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium Review & Giveaway!!! #HolidayGiftGuide

I recently had the chance to upgrade to Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium from Microsoft Office 2010. It was super easy to perform the download from the internet and it worked well with Windows 8. It comes will all the 2013 versions of the programs I need like Word, Power Point, Publisher, Excel, Outlook, Access and One Note. It also can be run on five separate devices which really comes in handy and makes it a super value when you have as many computer and tablet users as we do in our family. Another neat feature is that you can automatically save to your SkyDrive which gives you security to know that your documents are accessible from any applicable device. I find it to be a super value especially since one version can be run with five different devices with an annual subscription price of $99.99 a year. See below for everything you get with your annual subscription of Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium. You can also get a free 30 day trial!

Tidy Books, Book Box Review & Giveaway!!! Special 15% Discount Code For Tidy-Books.com!!!

One of the issues of being a book loving family, is finding ways to store all of our glorious books. My children have enormous amounts of books, but I believe you can never have too many. As a Tidy Books Ambassador I love promoting the great products they have that keep books neat and tidy but still let kids see the covers of the books. Small children usually cannot recognize books by the title on the spine, so displays that let them see the covers encourage reading, because children really do judge books by their cover.

Tidy Books Box Natural

I recently received the Tidy Books, Book Box in Blue. this sturdy, large box holds so many books and it even has a clock that is great for teaching little ones time. The box was easy to assemble and is great to keep in the family room or child’s bedroom filled with their favorite books. The box is available in natural, white or blue.

One of The Top Creative Toys For Kids of All Ages

Kaleidagraph

I recently had the opportunity to review the Kaleidograph Pattern Design Toy. The deceptively simple, die-cut cards of the Kaleidograph™ can be arranged in over 350 million designs. Based upon geometry in nature — the symmetries of crystals and flowers — the Kaleidograph upholds the tradition of the original, Froebel Kindergarten system that is known to have influenced Frank Lloyd Wright, Buckminster Fuller, Piet Mondrian, and design education at the Bauhaus. Richly personal and environmentally friendly, the Kaleidograph is a toy for all ages. It fosters creativity, rewards with surprise, and brings out the designer in everyone. Made in the USA, the Kaleidograph carries on a tradition of fascinating geometric design toys dating back to the early 19th century.

This pattern set is so much fun. It literally is great for all ages. If I have it out, whoever walks in must play around with it and it is quite addicting. It is so fun to see the different patterns everyone creates and how they get to that pattern. Some are meticulous and calculating and other throw caution to the wind and just have fun. It is simple yet expansive, ever-changing in its diversity, brilliant and beautiful, and mirrors nature’s own strategies of creation.

Explore symmetry and color combinations. See how small adjustments produce dramatic changes. The deceptively simple Kaleidograph can be arranged into millions of designs by combining and rotating the variety of die-cut cards. Each set also includes a full-color, two-sided insert with 68 example designs to challenge and inspire.

Over 350 million combinations
Full-color double-sided poster of designs included with both the Crystal and Flora sets
Made in USA from sturdy, non-toxic paperboard
About the size of a thick CD case — 4-3/4″ x 4-3/4″ x 3/8″
Package serves as both sleeve for storage and frame for display
For ages 3 to adult — a toy and a design tool

If you are looking for an original, fun and creative gift for the kids this holiday season, then take a look at Kaleidograph Pattern Design Toy, it will really delight most anyone. Mommy Ramblings is adding it to our Holiday Gift Guide.
