*HELP NEEDED!!!!**

I NEED 5 PEOPLE TO HOST A PARTY THIS MONTH!! 

*Literacy for a Lifetime*

Can you imagine getting free books for your school or class room? Well it's absolutely possible with Literacy for a Lifetime! Oh and the best part!!! YOUR CONSULTANT (ME) does all the work for you. All you do is give me written consent and stand back and watch the books roll in! OH yeah, you'll have to choose which books you want!!!!!!

Example: Timmy's 3rd grade elementary class needed some new books to help with multiplication and Mr. Timmy didn't want to stress his students out too much, so she wanted the No Worries book as well. So Mr. Timmy gives me permission to ask for donations on their behalf. Now, let's say Rainbows&Angels Photography decided to donate $250. Usborne Books will automatically match 50% of that. So Mr. Timmy would get $250 in donations for books and an additional $125 from Usborne Books so that's $375.00 IN FREE BOOKS. It's a WIN WIN!! 

(Home schools and other organizations can take part in this as well!!!) 

*STRESS TO DE-STRESS!!*

NO WORRIES?! 

Sounds amazing, right? Especially with End of Year testing, SATs, the stress of starting a new school, the stress of your child starting school, the list could on for days! 

How about taking some time to "let it all go", make time stand still, don't worry about it! It'll all work out in the end but in the meantime...

HAVE FUN!! 

How much would you pay for a short time of no worries? $6.99!!!!!

**TIMES!!**

Who likes math? Not a lot really. How about helping your kids get excited about math? 

I know as a kid I loved to play "school" with my Nanny. She would buy books like this and I would be the teacher and her the student. She would get all the answers wrong on purpose so I would have to teach her why it was wrong! That actually helped me learn!! Plus I got to make awesome memories with my Nanny!!! 

This book has 75 pages that are tear aways so it's perfect for playing school with! Teacher actually passes out papers! (Do they still do that in 2018)

$5.99

*HELP CHILDREN*

In all honesty, DO YOU LOVE WHAT YOU DO? Is it just a job? Just something that pays the bills and makes you miserable? I was there, I didn't like driving an hour from home, being there 12 hours and driving an hour back. 14 hours away from and Lord help if something bad occurred. 

I have the privilege of staying with my babygirl and making a little money on the way to help the family. No, you're not going to make a million in a week just for signing up but it's absolutely to get there with hard work and dedication....oh and! The best part, you get to HELP CHILDREN!

*Reach For The Stars*

Need helping getting excited about reading?

Reach for the Stars!! is a pledge based reading incentive program that puts books into the hands of children and rewards them for reading, as well as benefiting the organization in the form of cash and/or books.

The goal of the Reach for the Stars!! program is for the children to read, or to be read to, for a recommended minimum of 300 minutes  over a two-week period.  This is an average of 30 minutes per school day.  It is also the recommended amount of time that experts encourage for daily reading.

*Literacy for a Lifetime*

How many of you guys know children? That's about what I thought, every single one of you!! How many of those kids are involved in some type of organization? A lot of them! Did you know you can make a donation to that school and Usborne & Kane Miller Books will match that amount to 50%? 

So lets say you decided to donate $300 to Kaydee's Korner (an imaginary business); a local daycare. Our company will automatically give them $150 extra!! So that's $450 in books to spend! That's a ton of FREE NEW books!! 

You as an individual can go out and collect donations on part of a campaign or create a list of folks for me to ask! 

Introduction!!

On April 19th, 2017 we learned I was pregnant with our first child. We were absolutely scared to death. However, I knew that there was a reason, there had to be. I remember sitting in my car waiting on my husband to get off work so we could go to an appointment, I had just taken a pregnancy test and was nervous to tell him the news. After what seemed to be an eternity he finally walked out and sat down in the car. All I could do is cry, I'm not sure how I was even seeing to drive at this point. I told him to get my pocketbook and look in the side compartment. There he saw a positive pregnancy test. That night we took two more which also read positive. It was that night that I realized I had a little mini growing in there. 

Before I went to bed, I googled "Bed time nursery rhymes" and began reading to this little baby. I did this every day before I went to bed and several times through the day I talked to "Fruit Loop". (Fruit Loops were the only thing I ate for a couple of days that didn't make me sick, so the baby's nickname was Fruit Loop).  

As time went on tons of people began giving us items for her. Clothes, diapers, wipes, bottles, money, everything you can imagine. Our baby literally had everything she needed to sustain. However, there was only ONE lady who gave us books. ONE lady. To be honest with you I thought "why would anybody buy books for a baby?!? THEY NEED DIAPERS!" Silly me. 

A few days after our little Kaydee was here, my husband read her a story. I saw her look him straight in the eye the whole time. I got curious and wondered if she'd do the same to me. Low and behold she did! As time went on I started reading to her during the day. I started not only see her look at me but starting to smile at the silly expressions and finally she's starting to notice all the bright colors and has started laughing!! 

I decided to start with Usborne & Kane Miller Books simply because these books are great quality and it's something even my 11 week old enjoys. We have over 1800 different titles to choose from, everything from infants to middle age! From lift-the-flap, sound effect, touchy-feely, coloring, activity, to learning books that area great for home school!! 

I say all this to say, there really isn't anything better than seeing a smile on a childs face and knowing you helped put it there!
