Over the past few months, Princess P has been using an online, animated series of lessons to learn to read... or at least start recognizing more words. Since I deal with online learning on an almost daily basis at work, I was curious to see how effective the Headsprout Early Reading program would be for Princess P.

Sorry I'm a moron and somehow turned comments off for nearly a full day. As a result, I'll extend the giveaway 1 day and it will run through the 16th, winners announced the 17th.

If you wanted to comment but were unable to, please try again by posting a comment on the original post. Thanks, and sorry for the trouble.

**UPDATE: Somehow comments were inadvertently turned off. It should be fixed now...sorry.

When the opportunity came along to give away a few signed copies from the 39 Clues series, I wasn't sure that I wanted to participate. Princess P is a little young, all about princesses, and not so keen on adventures, unless they involve the Little Einsteins. Plus, I haven't had a chance to fully review the books. However, during my research, I found enough positive (and a little negative) comments to feel comfortable putting the books up on simplefahter.com.

Blogging and being a professional nerd are two things in this life that I enjoy very much. When they complement each other, life is good. Staying on the bleeding edge of technology allows me to connect with more people, through more avenues. While writing gives me a creative outlet for the weird things that roll around in my head.

But when the worlds interfere with each other, at least one world suffers. Unfortunately, over the past weeks, blogging has been the casualty. During my time off, I've learned a few things, some of which I'd like to share.

As my days at work have gotten longer, my nights of brainstorming have gotten shorter. Even though I haven't had a lot of time to dream up brilliant ideas, I do have a few rattling around in my head... but I need your opinion.

If you've been out there lurking, but not leaving comments, could you please do me a favor and at least vote in the poll to the right. I would really like to know what you tell people about your kids, or what you hear when people talk to you about their kids.

Thanks for stopping by, and thanks in advance for participating.
