Learning to love reading (LeapFrog LeapReader Junior review)

Bub is completely and utterly obsessed with books. I'm not complaining either, I'm actually really excited that she loves them this much. I often find her sitting on her playmat quietly reading one of her books by herself. Of course she can't actually read yet (she'd be a genius if she could read at 18 months), but she does love flicking the pages and studying the pictures.

She's recently decided she wants to know more about the stories so she'll bring a book up to me and point to a picture and get me to tell her the names of the characters. Her favourite book is In the Night Garden as she recognises all the characters from tv. After a few weeks of me telling her the names, I can now ask her where Upsy Daisy or Iggle Piggle are and she confidently points to them. Seeing how much shes interested in actually trying to understand books now rather than just look at them, I thought it was the perfect time to introduce the Leap Frog LeapReader Junior to her.

The LeapReader Junior is an interactive system that helps children aged 1 - 3 build reading fundamentals. It incorporates a board book and a handheld Scout or Violet which reads the book to the child. Its designed specifically for toddlers to help build hand and motor skills whilst learning early vocabulary skills to prepare them for preschool. It makes reading an interactive and fun process whilst helping teach new skills.

The LeapReader Junior is $59.99 and comes with the Lets Read Together sample board book. The sample book contains excerpts from eight different LeapReader Junior board books that are available separately. It also comes with a usb cable to download the audio documents for the other books and it can also personalise Scout (or Violet) to remember your child's name.

Using the LeapReader Junior is super easy. Bub simply holds Scout and then puts him over the words and he says the story. He can also be used on pictures which make other noises or sayings. At first she was tapping Scout onto the book really quickly which is a bit hit and miss as he really needs to touch the page for at least a second to sense the image or words. She was getting frustrated when he wasn't talking, but after some coaching from me and practice she's got a lot better at holding him over the words or pictures for longer. I did a little demo video below so you can see Scout in action properly (please ignore my nasal voice - sinus sucks!).

What I really love about the LeapReader Junior is that it involves physically interacting with the book, rather than being a computer based app. Bub has a similar thing in her Playschool app on the ipad. It lets her read a letter, but it doesn't help her develop hand and motor skills as all she does is tap the words. I much prefer her interacting with the board books as she still gets to turn the pages and further develop her appreciation for real books (even though she's using computer technology at the same time).

++

I also really love the selection of books available to go with the LeapReader Junior. There are over 20 board books that can be purchased separately, some of which come as sets. I particularly love the toddler milestones book set that includes 4 books to help toddlers deal with events like a new baby coming into the family and toilet training. I'm definitely getting this set for bub. I'm also thinking she'll probably need the Winnie the Pooh book. There's just too many great options and they're all educational because they teach vocabulary, numbers and reading skills (that'll be my excuse when T gets annoyed at me for buying so many).

     



The Leap Frog LeapReader Junior is a perfect educational present for any toddler and there's a board book to suit any personality. I can't wait to add more books to our collection.
Do/did your kids love books?

52 WEEKS OF MEMORIES | 4 - TOGETHER

We spent lots of time together this week, well technically we spend all our time together except when shes asleep in her cot. We read together, watch cartoons together, dance together, go to the shops together and play together. This week we also spent time together drawing with the boys at mothers group, playing at the play centre and exploring the beach. Yesterday we spent most of the day snuggling together on the couch because bub has a snotty nose and doesn't feel too well (courtesy of the play centre I bet).

Mummy Must Have Review | Moeloco thongs - good 4 your sole

Its no secret that I love the beach. Living in Queensland it was kind of inevitable that I'd grow up with a love of the beach. Its my happy place. I have so many fond memories of the beach from my childhood and my affinity for the beach has continued as I've gotten older. I love the feeling of the sand and water between my toes, the sound of the waves rolling in, and the freshness of the ocean breeze. I could seriously waste a good few hours getting lost in the serenity at the beach, if my life would allow it. I'm super excited that I've found a product which fits into my beach loving lifestyle and helps people in need.

Moeloco is a social enterprise designed solely to give back to those in need to change the lives of children living in extreme poverty. Moeloco literally means "dream crazy" (derived from the Hawaiian word for dream, Moehani, and the Latin word for crazy, Loco). Founder Kathy Wong created Moeloco to inspire others to live out their dreams while showing that it is possible for everyone to make a difference to those in need. Her dream was to go beyond simply inspiring people and to also create products that can directly contribute to the welfare of children. Unlike other charity based businesses, Moeloco operates for profit meaning the more profit they make from sales, the more they then donate back to those in need. Their business model is based on parallel giving, so for each product purchased an equivalent product will be given to children in need. Their first products are inspirational thongs (flip flops) and for each pair sold they donate a pair of school shoes to orphans supported by The Hope Foundation, to enable them to attend school.

There are currently four different designs available - Dream Crazy, I'm Happy, Live Love and I Am Peace. Each pair of thongs has a message etched into the bottom of the sole so that as you walk you're leaving an inspirational message in the sand. Wearing these thongs you can literally leave a footprint of hope while helping to change the lives of underprivileged children. I think Kathy's created the perfect product to combine her desire to inspire others and help those in need.

I chose dream crazy because, apart from the fact that I have super crazy dreams most nights, I like to think that anything is possible. I'm more than happy to spread that message across Qld beaches. The thongs have dream crazy and dandelions printed on the front. I love the dandelions, when we were little we used to make wishes and blow on them so they'd come true. I think its great symbolism for the fact that you can dream crazy and one day fulfil those dreams. I'm also loving the moeloco logo on the thong straps because I love thongs with logo typography for some strange reason. On the bottom the words DREAM and CRAZY are etched in capital letters so they imprint into the sand as I walk.

Kathy hopes to create a heart centred community who realise that their consumer dollar can have enormous power to create positive social good. To help spread the message you can purchase a pair of Moeloco thongs or a gift voucher from Moeloco online. The thongs retail for $35 and are available in women's sizes 5-10. For each pair purchased Moeloco donate a pair of school shoes to children in need via the Hope Foundation - 650 pairs of shoes have already been donated. Here in Australia shoes are a necessity we often take for granted, but for children living in underprivileged poverty stricken areas across the world they are a luxury that they will unfortunately probably never own. By providing a child with a pair of school shoes Moeloco are giving that child physical protection from the elements, reducing injuries and infection; enabling them to attend school and giving them hope for a better future. For those children shoes are much more than footwear.

To keep up to date with the latest product releases (Kathy plans on expanding the product range in time), events and donation news you can also connect with Moeloco via facebook, instagram or sign up to the newsletter.

Would you buy a pair of Moeloco thongs to help a child in need and leave a lasting social footprint?

Why I Need to Leave a Footprint

Everybody has an innate desire to find a meaning in life. Some people spend their whole lifetime searching for the ever elusive meaning of life. It's why people turn to religion, or believe in fate and destiny. There has to be some sort of purpose. It has to mean something. It doesn't matter what the meaning is as long as there is one. 

I've always had a huge drive to find meaning in my life. The need to find meaning got overwhelmingly stronger after dad died. My psychologist recently told me people who've suffered trauma or lost a loved one have an even stronger desire to find meaning in life because they need to find a reason to go on while in the midst of intense grief. I'd never really thought about it before, but it makes total sense. Dad dying was one of the most pivotal times in my life and certainly the most pivotal up to that point. Ever since he died I've always seen everything in my life as either before dad died (when everything was good) or after dad died (when everything went to shit, for lack of a better word). Whether its a complete coincidence or not everything bad seemed to happen after he died and I can't help relating everything back to that point in my life.

For a long time after dad died I decided that my purpose in life was to be someone elses punching bag. I endured abuse, a controlling relationship and continuous emotional abuse because I took on the role of the victim. I had horrible self esteem as a result of only really being told negative things most of my life, so when people continued to treat me that way I accepted it. I found meaning in life by deciding there was no meaning to my life. I had a core belief though that if I was the one taking all the crap from everyone that at least I was stopping someone else from enduring it. In a twisted way I thought I was helping others by putting up with being treated badly. It stemmed from feeling that I was indeed worthless.

I look back on those years now and I feel so sorry for that girl. Part of me wants to shake her and knock some sense into her and part of me wants to hug her and tell her she is worth it. I can't believe I spent so many years that way. I wasn't really living, more drifting through the in and outs of day to day life. 

Thankfully though I woke up. I spent years suffering in silence desperately hoping someone would save me from my daily hell. Of course it never happened. In the end that didn't matter though because I decided if anything was ever going to change I needed to be the one to save myself. I didn't have anyone to stand up for me so I had to stand up for myself. So I did.

I no longer feel like the meaning of my life is to take shit from everyone else. I no longer feel like there is no meaning to life. I honestly still don't know exactly what the meaning of life is, or if there is one big overriding meaning, but it doesn't matter. For now my desire in life is to make sure I leave a footprint on this world. I need to feel like this was all worth it. I need to know that I went through all the crap for a reason. It has to mean something, anything. So I'm trying to use my story to help others, to let them know that there's more out there for them. That you can change direction no matter how hopeless your situation may feel. This blog is one of the biggest ways I'm making sure to leave my footprint. There's so many cases where a digital footprint can be seen as a bad thing, but this, this is a very good thing.

{Find similar prints here}

Even if the only footprints I leave behind once I'm gone are this blog and my family then thats enough meaning for me.

52 WEEKS OF MEMORIES | 3 - SKY

I'm a little addicted to taking photos of the clouds and the sky. I'm not sure why exactly, it could be because that's where I assume dad is, or just the fact that its so pretty. Either way I'm always drawn to the sky and the clouds. Flying through the clouds when I went to Melbourne on the weekend was scary, because I hate flying; but was also completely awesome. Its astonishing to think that we even have the ability to do things like fly so high that we can be in and above the clouds. It's truly amazing. Unfortunately bub didn't come with me on the plane so this is as close as she gets to the clouds....

52 WEEKS OF MEMORIES | 2 - HAPPY

Bub's favourite thing to do is jump. Naughty daddy taught her how to do it on the bed when she was little so ever since she could stand by herself shes been bouncing all over us each morning. Its not a habit I really wanted her to get into, because its going to be hard to tell her dont jump on your bed later on, but it makes her sooo happy. We've decided to get her a trampoline when shes a bit older, but because we live in a townhouse it'll have to be a little floor tramp. Lucky for her though two of her friends have big trampolines and she got to play on one on Monday. Its a little hard to see through the netting, but she didn't stop smiling the whole time.
