DesignEvo (Review and Giveaway)

DesignEvo is a free, online logo maker that is quick and easy to use. If you are a blogger or business owner, having a sharp looking logo can go a long way. Let's take blogging for instance. It's beneficial to have an easy to access file on your computer or device that you can easily upload while interacting online. Whether it's posting to a forum or communicating back and forth through email, adding a fresh, clean logo to your signature will get your name out there and help folks remember who you are. Images are powerful, as we obviously see in advertising, so if you have a simple image to coincide with your company/blog name, people are more apt to remember it.

As bloggers, we have enough on our plate as it is. So trying to find a free image online that would work within the confines of a logo for our blog can be tedious.

DesignEvo has made it easy for you to create a logo, and it's free! Of course their are paid options if you want to upgrade but if all you need is a simple file, it is completely free. Here are some of their features:

* 3000+ fully customizable logo templates.
* Over one million icons available to search through.
* Hundreds of text fonts and shapes to choose from.
* Freely customize a logo with powerful editing tools.

The site is easy to use and has piles of customizable images that you can work with. Simply type in what you are looking for in the search bar or browse through different categories such as abstract, childcare and education or animal and pet.

Once you settle on the design you like best, go ahead and type in your logo name and slogan if you'd like. Below is the logo that I created in minutes that has a paper airplane and my blog name. Cute, isn't it? Instead of scouring the internet for the perfect image, this site provided me with plenty of options that would meet my needs.

Original 13 Colonies Fact Cards (Free Printable)

These Thirteen Colonies Fact Cards were created for my kids as we studied early American history. What a pivotal time in our history! Puritans seeking religious freedom, adventurers setting out for a new land, and those in debt hoping for a fresh start—a new life. From the first colony in Virginia, until all thirteen stars on the first American flag were represented, these cards are a perfect review for your homeschoolers. Use them to drill the first thirteen colonies so your child can recite them with ease, and have them dictate the information on the cards to help them remember a small fact about each colony. Feel free to print these out and have your children write facts that they learn about each colony on the back. Go ahead and laminate them, too! Simply right-click, save, and print to use this resource in your homeschool as you study about the original thirteen colonies in America. Use the facts for dictation, copy work, or discussion in your home. Disclaimer: All co...

Truck-Themed Homeschool Chore Chart

Use this truck-themed homeschool chore chart to keep your kids on track throughout the school week. With lessons, field trips, meals, and unexpected errands filling up your week, even the simplest chore chart can help your home run more smoothly. At times, kids are excited for the new opportunity to help out around the house and do it with joy. Other times they stomp toward the trash can with anything but a good attitude. Help keep attitudes in check by using stickers, smiley faces, or positive verbal reinforcement as your child completes each task on the chart. For the child who loves lists (and the mom) this is the perfect free printable to have on hand! (Simply right-click, save, and print)

The Pencil Grip Inc. {Review}

We have found what we have been looking for in The Pencil Grip Inc .'s 24 pack of Magic Stix Washable Markers . These markers are the perfect fit for a homeschooling family such as ours. I am thrilled to tell you about our experience with them! Normally, I do not have a favorable impression of markers for several reasons. For one, as a kid, I remember markers having such a strong smell that it would give me a headache. I know some kids enjoyed the scents but it certainly was not for me. And to be honest, if I had markers like that in my house today, my kids would probably stick them up their nose or something. Another reason I have a distaste for markers is the drying out factor. As a parent of many children this is super frustrating. I finally teach the older ones to put the caps back on when they are done using their markers but then a younger one comes along and just doesn't understand. This then leads to the undue frustration of your child sitting down to...
