While you are shopping, please remember that this month is National Diabetes Awareness Month. As many of you may know, my 4 year old son was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in October 2008. With that said, since he was diagnosed, I have vowed to hold an annual fundraiser where a portion of my commissions on any order will be donated to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation). The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to finding a cure for Type 1 Diabetes. Last year, the fundraiser went well with being able to donate over $50 to the JDRF. Not bad for strictly online parties and advertising, huh?! This year I would like to see us double that, and be able to donate atleast $100! While these goals may seem low, every dollar donated helps a great deal! So please remember while you are shopping that not only are you shopping with me to get some great, educational toys for your children this month, but your purchase, no matter how large or small, is helping a wonderful cause! This fundraiser will close on November 30th. 50% of my commissions this month will be donated to the JDRF. Thank  you in advance for your help in making this fundraiser a success! I will keep you all posted on how well we are doing!

Check back soon for even more sales and promotions for the month of November with Discovery Toys!

Hey all! Please accept my apologies for being gone for so long. A lot has happened over the last few months which has thrown me off track with my business. But, I am back now and ready to keep informing you all of the great things Discovery Toys has to offer, the awsome specials, and best of all, the wonderful things your children will learn from our various toys, books, games, and software!

I would like to inform you all that for the month of November, I am doing an Online Fundraiser to raise money to be donated to the JDRF! My minimum goal to reach for this fundraiser is to raise atleast $100 to be donated! Half of my commission will be going to this fundraiser. The JDRF fundraiser starts today, and ends on November 30th, so if you still have some Christmas Shopping to do for your little ones, please consider purchasing some Discovery Toys toys from me and know that not only will you be getting some great educational toys that are backed by a lifetime guarentee, but that a portion of the profits will be going to a great cause!

For those of you who don’t know, my 4 year old son was diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes on October 6th, 2008. This is why this fundraiser is SO important to me, and why I try to do atleast one fundraiser for the JDRF every year! Unfortunately, since we are trying something a little different than we are used to right now with my son’s diabetes management, which is causing me to have to keep a closer eye on his blood sugar levels over the next few weeks, I am only able to do this fundraiser online. Therefore, all orders must be placed via my website at www.dawnslearningtoys.com Please check out my website and place your orders to help me with this great cause, and if you have any questions, or need any help picking out the perfect toys for your little one, feel free to email me at dawnslearningtoys@gmail.com

We do have some wonderful specials and bundles available this month too! If you would like a PDF file of our bundles or specials, please email me at dawnslearningtoys@gmail.com and I will email them to you promptly.

Please remember, I love feedback on your and your childs experiences with Discovery Toys, so please feel free to comment or email them to me!

Hey everyone! I am so excited to share this information with you about my children. I am SO proud of my children right now! Over the last few days, my kids have been playing with the Discovery Toys Busy Bugs Learning Set, as well as our Playful Patterns. Now, that’s nothing new, because those two games have been one of their favorite games for quite a while. However, they are definitely learning some new things with them!

For starters, my 2 1/2 year old daughter has been learning how to match basic colors correctly. After working with her over the last year on colors and color recognition, and seeing little results, this is the biggest success in this department that I have seen with her! I am SUPER excited and proud of my baby girl!

Now, my son, he LOVES Playful Patterns. As many of you know, he is turning 4 years old this Saturday. Boy how time flies! He has spent countless hours playing with the Playful Patterns game since I joined Discovery Toys back in September 2008. But now, he has taken it upon himself to, instead of placing the colored foam shape pieces on the cards that have picture designs, instead, he looks at the picture on the card, and creates it with the foam shape pieces on our kitchen table. Sometimes, he will even create his own picture! Take yesterday for instance, he decided to create a sailboat with the pieces. He didnt have a picture of a sailboat anywhere in site, he was doing it all from what he visioned in his head. he even made it into a 2D picture by making part of the sail stand up! What does this mean? It means, not only is this game teaching my little boy shape recognition, colors, matching, etc., but it is also teaching him that it is O.K. to use your imagination and create something all on your own! Creativity is a wonderful, exciting thing for children!

I can’t tell you how many hours my children have spent playing and learning with the toys from Discovery Toys, I can tell you this though… I am seeing great results from them playing with these toys, and I will encourage everyone I know, and everyone reading this blog, to buy your children some toys from Discovery Toys the next time you need to buy something for  your precious little one. They will love you for it, and you will love seeing the wonderful successes your child will acheive!

Have you ever wondered what its like to be a Discovery Toys Educational Consultant?

Well, let me tell you, this is absolutely the best financial, personal, and business decision I have made in a VERY long time! I am having so much fun helping other people find high quality educational toys for their children, finding the “perfect business fit” for their financial needs, and playing with all the wonderful children (and adults!) that I meet at my parties!

I only work about 10 hours a week (sometimes less, just depends on what I have going on and how I feel lol), and I am quickly working my way up the “ranks” to building a wonderful business that my children will be proud to tell their friends about when they get older! I have never felt this much enthusiasm, excitement, and success with any other business that I have tried over the last 6 years that I have been looking for MY “perfect business fit”. I have made more money in one month with this business than I have made in a YEAR with others I have tried! And trust me, it wasn’t because of a lack of trying with those others. I work less with this business, but make more and feel more successful than I have in a very long time.

When I am working in my home office (not at a party), my typical day goes like this:

7 or 7:30am- I wake up to my beautiful children calling my name.

7:30am-8am Check my sons blood sugar levels, give insulin & Breakfast (it IS the most important meal of the day, ya know! LOL)

8am- check emails, reply to emails, play a little bit on Facebook, have a tickle match with my kids or some other fun activity

10am- Check my son’s blood sugar levels, and give both my kids a morning snack

10:30am- Get my son dressed for Head Start, pack up his diabetic necessities for him to carry to school, brush his teeth and hair and watch some educational kids shows on PBS or Disney… or we pop in an educational dvd to watch together

11:20am- Make sure everything is ready for my son to take to school, get his coat/jacket on, and we start watching for the school bus to come while playing I SPY, Ring Around The Rosies, or some other silly game with the kids.

About 11:30-11:45am- put son  on school bus, get daughters lunch ready, put a load of dishes in the dishwasher, a load of laundry in the washer

12pm noon- Lunch Time!! Wait for the call from head start to tell me how his levels are doing, and how well he is eating his lunch (in case I need to make some adjustments for him over the phone)

About 12:45-1pm- play with my daughter, read some books to her

About 2pm- check email again, then maybe take my daughter outside for a while wheather permitting, or find another activity for us to do.

About 3pm- put away dishes, change over laundry, put laundry away, goof off on Facebook or other networking sites, wait by the phone for head start to call to tell me his afternoon snack time number and make adjustments as I see fit.

About 3:30pm- Check email again, do a little internet advertising

4pm- pick up my son from the school bus, check his sugar, do some activities while we wait for my hubby to get home.

4:30pm talk to hubby while preparing dinner

5:30pm Dinner time! YAY! Check my sons sugar, give him his insulin, and eat!

6pm- talk to hubby for a few more minutes

6:30pm- Nap Time!!! Sometime between now and 8pm, my hubby gives the kids their baths

8pm- hubby checks my sons sugar level, gives him 2 kinds of insulin and gives the kids their bedtime snack, usually I am still napping at this time unless the kids wake me up lol.

8:30pm- start bedtime routine, brush the kids teeth, wash their face, pick up their toys in OUR bedroom, the living room, and THEIR bedroom lol, tuck the kids in, and read them a bedtime story.

9pm- hubby goes to sleep

9pm-12am- some advertising, chatting with friends online, sometimes I schedule some online vendor parties, and play around on the internet.

12am- do a midnight blood sugar check for my son, If he has a good number, I go to bed. If not, then I stay up till 3am watching A&E and playing on the internet.

3am- Check sons blood sugar again if he didnt have a good number at midnight, then go to bed

So, you see, I really do not spend much time at all on my business. To be completely honest with you, I dont even do advertising everyday like this. I do it about 2-3 times a week, if that.

Now, when I am helping a hostess who has already booked a party with me, about 2 weeks before the party, I put together the hostess packet and mail it out. If they have questions, they either email me or call me with them. The night of the party, my parties typically last between 2-3 hours from start to finish.

So you see, I spend MOST of my time with my family, playing with my kids, and VERY LITTLE TIME on my business each week.

Why am I telling you all of this?

Well, because, many people think they “don’t have time” for a home based business. But, let me tell you, if I can do it… if other mothers who also work outside the home can do it, YOU CAN TOO!

So, if you have ever thought about becoming a Discovery Toys Educational Consultant, contact me today! I will always be here to help you squeeze in simple, quick, effective ways to grow your business.

But, I WILL NOT be your baby sitter. I will not hold your hand and do the work for you. I am looking for self-motivated, serious individuals to join my team and work our way to the TOP within the Discovery Toys business.

Have questions? Need advice? Just need to talk to a rep to see if this is that “perfect business fit” for you and your family?

The Super Yummy is a wonderful teether because not only will it help ease your baby’s teething pain, but it will also help teach her about different textures, help her grasp things, and has a light vanilla fragrance!

When your child can start grasping things, give her the Super Yummy. At first, she may put it in her mouth, most likely by accident, but this will start to teach her about different textures. As you may know, babies learn about their surroundings by touching and tasting things. Experts have said that, that is why babies put EVERYTHING in their mouths! (and here we thought it was just to drive mommy nuts LOL) As she learns about the different textures, she will start developing her gross motor skills, and her movements will become more purposeful. She will then be able to purposely put the teether in her mouth… and with the great fragrance of vanilla to intice her.. why wouldn’t she?!

The Super Yummy is a little “wierd” looking in shape, but each knob has a different texture! Your child will learn to love exploring the different knobs and textures. The different textures are also wonderful for older infants who are teething. When children teeth, they are in a lot of pain (obviously LOL), and they are looking for comfort and consoling. Super Yummy is wonderful for this! The textured knobs will be very soothing on your little prince or princess’s gums. Think of it as a massage treatment for your babys whole mouth!

If you would like to purchase the Super Yummy, feel free to visit my website by CLICKING HERE.

Every email order will receive a 10% discount! So, visit my website, and email your orders to dawnslearningtoys@gmail.com
