Recipes For Mommy and Me

Announcing a new benefit to adding My Little Monkey Boutique as one of your favorite pages, and subscribing to our newsletter - I have added a new page of Recipes that are perfect for Mom and Child to do together.

These easy recipe ideas range from desserts, appetizers and sandwiches to salads and soups. They are super easy to do, making it a fun time to spend with your child. I am collecting the recipes and offering them free to you - just click on the Mom&Me Recipe link in the navigation bar.

I will also be including one recipe idea in each newsletter from now on! If anyone has any recipes they would like to share, please send them to me using the Contact Us page at http://www.mylttlemonkeyboutique.com/. I will include your name and a website link if you have one!

In addition to the recipe page, we recently added several informational E-books just for mom that focus on dreaded tasks such as getting and staying organized, and time management. I have found these Ebooks very helpful when using them in my day to day activities. We all know it can be tough staying organized with a baby or toddler crawling or running around!

My Little Monkey Boutique also offers its Moms Getaway Forum that offers product reviews from moms, general chit chat, advice and tips and so much more! To join the Mom's Getaway Forum click HERE.

Everyone who signs up for the Moms Getaway Forum before Dec.12 will get a $5 off coupon on any item in My Little Monkey Boutique!

My Little Monkey Boutique is always looking for new ways to make our site more user friendly and informational to our guests and customers. Our current project that we will be releasing soon is a baby/toddler photo contest. We hope to open our photo contest up in the next week or two - to be one of the first to be alerted to its opening, just sign up for our newsletter on the home page!

Thanks to all our customers that believe in us and support us!

HOW IT WORKS:

These videos allow the children to see the language at the same time they hear the language in a fun, interactive way. The videos use animals, other young children, and songs that are interesting to young children.

The main idea behind the videos is that we try to help the children develop an association between the written words, their sounds, and their meanings. Over time, the babies figure out enough of these associations so that they learn the sounds that the letters make.

The children are allowed to see the words at the same time that they hear the words. Since children learn language faster and easier during infancy than any other time, we take advantage of this window of opportunity to learn written language as well as spoken language. So, the infants are able to see and hear words instead of simply hearing the words.

Additionally, we encourage the babies to participate by saying the words and by doing physical actions that help the children learn the meanings of the words. We encourage the babies and toddlers to clap, wave, point, touch body parts, and so on. This kind of interactive, multi-sensory learning has been shown to be superior to simply presenting the information in one sensory modality and it is more fun!

Ellen will feature an interview with one of the children who learned to read using the program as a baby. He is now 5 years-old and is reading at an amazing level.

Welcome to My Blog

Well I have finally opened my online baby boutique after months of thought on whether I should do it or not. I have been selling on Ebay for several years and just got tired of paying the fees that keep increasing by the moment.

With my store, I hope to be able to offer customers something a little out of the ordinary - A sweet keepsake for a special family member. Since I am a writer by trade, and have been for the past 10 years, I thought I'd start this blog.

Be sure to check in often. I will discuss topics of concern to moms, offer store specials, and advice, maybe even a funny story or two. In the meantime, look around my store, http://www.mylittlemonkeyboutique.com/, and if you see something that catches your eye, feel free to email me with questions.
