New Year Resolution broken already


Some days ago I decided NOT to buy any more stuff for me or the kids in 2014, as we are really bursting at the seams in this house and I'm very much against the current religion of consumerism.  But, this morning when I was having coffee with friends at the local shopping centre, they they told me a new bookshop has opened.  Of course, I had to check it out, and found an electronic dictionary bookmark which I just had to buy for Emma.  Since Santa brought her a Harry Potter book with lots of new words, I thought it would be ideal.  We've already had a go of it and she loves it.  I'm very proud of her reading ability - no prizes for guessing who taught her! - as she's only in kinder this year and can read like an adult.

So, please tell all your friends to buy the Oz Phonics apps available on the AppStore.  So far we've got Australian, New Zealand and US accents, with Canadian ready to go in the New Year.

Next big event is New Year - I wish you all a very happy and healthy one.
