58Doesn't it look like a fun game?! I love hearing their skip-counting and multiplication improve as they play the game. And, they love it so much that they ask to take it with them places "in case they get bored and want to play". It's a great game for both homeschooling and public schooling families. Who doesn't need a little boost when it comes to math facts?!</div> 59<div style="text-align: left;"> 60<br /></div> 61<div style="text-align: left;"> 62Would you like a copy of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005E8W36C/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B005E8W36C&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=hiitsji-20&amp;linkId=JBZKNTXLVJOIQ3SA" target="_blank">Speed!</a> for your family?

It's Jilly. About a month ago I told you guys about <a href="http://www.hiitsjilly.com/2014/11/indoor-herb-garden-in-winter-aerogarden.html" target="_blank">our new AeroGarden</a>. The kids love watching the plants come up, and I love how low-maintenance the <a href="http://www.aerogarden.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">AeroGarden</a> is. The light comes on by itself, and a little light blinks when we need to add water or nutrients.</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> 178<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDGl-sfT-tJl9pi6cstO0Q9TYRDRLbbJ3yHBGt-WSObf_oVhMht0Wo_x401l240kvqh2dXItn5HPFA5H2ArjSxFXgTjxPOYTnN9gY_KhUGlsLUPmk8doSDmoE_S_1fKaoXnkJIGseHxy4/s1600/IMG_1249%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img alt="An AeroGarden indoor herb garden makes a great holiday gift!" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDGl-sfT-tJl9pi6cstO0Q9TYRDRLbbJ3yHBGt-WSObf_oVhMht0Wo_x401l240kvqh2dXItn5HPFA5H2ArjSxFXgTjxPOYTnN9gY_KhUGlsLUPmk8doSDmoE_S_1fKaoXnkJIGseHxy4/s1600/IMG_1249%5B1%5D.JPG" height="640" title="" width="480" /></span></a></div> 179<div> 180<span style="font-family: inherit;">Our basil and mint are growing really well!
