Parga's Junkyard

2011-09-07T14:58:00.000-07:00

Parga's Junkyard is a personal blog site that will cover many various parts of life as it relates to myself and my family. Throughout my life I have worn many hats.... but my favorite hat is that of a wife to my wonderful husband Johnnie and mother to my own 5 children and now step-mother to Johnnies 4 and grandmother in total of 11! I started my blog originally just for fun but it has evolved into a way to share not only tidbits about my family but also about budgeting and living life on a shoestring, learning to coupon and save where I can. I love seeing how far I can make my money go! Don't you just love it when you have something left at the end of the week? Here at Parga's Junkyard I want to pass on some of the secrets I have learned over the years on how to take your life from just being a little frugal to living large! It is not how much money you make or how much you have in the bank, it is all in how you use (and how you spend) what you have! Are you tired of looking yet not finding the secrets to living a "cheap yet chic" life?

Parga's Junkyard will include not only wallet-friendly advice on:

Coupons – Old-school clipping and the new wave of clicking.

Giveaways – Stuff for kids. Stuff for you.

Steals & Deals – Not just freebies – but great deals on things you have to have.

Product Reviews – What to heart and what to hate.

Shopping Tips – paying full price is never an option

But also I will have posts on:

Life in General

Family

Health Related Posts

as well as a little of everything!

I will write blogs that deal with a lot but mainly hope to blog about the fun I have with the various costs we encounter in life and the fun I have with couponing! Please check back often to see what is up!

My blog post today is on the toys that Discovery Toys offers for children with Autism. DISCOVERY TOYS is committed to bringing fun, safe and developmentally appropriate toys and products to children and adults of all abilities. Children with developmental disabilities, like all children, develop at a unique rate and pattern of development.

DISCOVERY TOYS are designed to target the most commonly shared learning difficulties for children with autism. Children with autism tend to experience several broad areas of significant difficulty.
Every toy in our catalog, www.DiscoveryToysLink.com/Kacee, has an Autism Symbol that corresponds with the specific learning each toy supports. Use the key below to choose the most appropriate toy for your child.

Toys to develop independent play with some limited instruction: Individuals with autism often have difficulty playing independently. They need toys that initially require instruction from the parent/teacher, but can be completed by the individual by themselves.
Toys that promote sustained engagement: Choose toys that can be played with over and over with a slightly different pattern or result to build up the individual’s attention span and ability to focus.

Toys that build skills for cooperative play: Awareness and necessity to share and communicate is critical for cooperating with peers. Select toys and games that engage multiple players to complete an activity and foster turn-taking.

Toys that create opportunities for children to talk about their play experience: Being able to verbalize the play experience is vital to learning, skill development and academic and social progress. Encourage toys that promote communication and conversation between the individual and others.

Toys with obvious completion criteria: Repetitive behavior is often seen in individuals with Autism and may deprive them of understanding when a task is completed thus missing out on a sense of accomplishment. Choose toys that can be used with or without a partner in which the individual is aware of his/her own success at the completion of the activity.

Toys that encourage pretend play: Some children find pretend play comes naturally, others need to be shown how to “make-believe”. Individuals with autism need toys that help them to foster imagination and think abstractly.

Look for learning styles
Look for the Learning Styles next to the age range for each product. Select products with Multiple Learning Styles to engage all the senses.
A - Auditory (Sound) - Individual learns best through listening to spoken word. This individual responds to products that offer sound variations in loudness, pitch, and/or tone.
K - Kinesthetic (Touch & Movement) - Individual learns best through touch (tactile), movement, and action. This individual takes things apart and puts them back together in order to learn. They enjoy products that offer a variety of textures and sensory experiences
V - Visual (Sight) - Individual learns best through sight, body language, and expression. They prefer to observe how something works and/or read printed words for direction.

SUGGESTIONS:

Item #1348 Monkey See Monkey Do (ages birth-preschool) $22.50
Item #1674 - Measure Up!® Pots & Spoons (multi-use: stack, nest, learn colors, learn numbers, volumetrically correct so you could cook with them, & the underneath side is a play dough stamp!) (ages 27 – primary school) $25.00
Item #1229 Baby Grooves Musical Set (ages 6m – preschool) - $30.00

DISCOVERY TOYS also has more than just toys for children with Autism; they have toys for all kids ages birth to school age (and even adult if you still like to play with toys!). We have been around for over 30 years & have wonderful products with great warranties. Start your Christmas Shopping now, only 107 days left to Christmas Eve. All items ship from the warehouse in Livermore, California via UPS so you should typically have your items in 3 to 5 business days after you place your order, if you are located in California. Please check out my website to purchase toys or to contact me about hosting a party: www.DiscoveryToysLink.com/Kacee.

Toyfully!

Playtime isn't only fun time, it’s learning time. So take advantage of the spare moments you have throughout the day to play with your little one. It’ll be good for both of you!

Timeless…Confident…Spontaneous…Sophisticated…Trendy?

While some women stay true to one color, others keep a collection of shades to wear whenever the mood strikes them. Read on to find out what your favorite lip shades might reveal about you.

PINKS ~ The woman who treasures a pink lip shade possesses a beauty that never goes out of style. Classy and feminine, she is the measure of a true lady. But don’t be surprised to discover a fun, flirty side winking beneath the pink.

METALS ~ A metallic lip luster is the perfect shade for a woman on the cutting edge of fashion. She knows how to add that extra something to make any outfit go from simple to amazing. And when it comes to the next new thing, you can bet she’s already there.

BERRIES ~ You’ll find shades of berry on the lips of a woman living life to the fullest. She’s energetic, enthusiastic and walks into a room with confidence. It’s no wonder she’s drawn to a lip shade as lively as the life she’s leading.

NEUTRALS ~ Don’t be fooled by demure lips in neutrals. When it comes to expressing her style, this woman knows how to make a bold statement. Spend an afternoon with her, and you’ll learn to expect the delightfully unexpected.

CHOCOLATES ~ Generous and giving, the woman with a loving heart can’t resist a lipstick in a warm chocolate shade. She exudes genuine affection. She’ll make you feel fabulous. And of course, she’s as sweet as candy.

TAWNIES ~ For the sophisticated woman, tawnies are the lip shade of choice. Gifted with impeccable taste, she appreciates the fine things in life from beautiful art to artisan coffee. When it comes to perfecting her pucker, only a shade of tawny will do.

REDS ~ She’s confident and sophisticated. She’s glamorous, trendy and classic all at the same time. She’s true to the end, and her beauty spans a lifetime. What more can we say about the woman in red?
