UGLee Pen Ergonomic Pen Review & Giveaway

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

This is the worlds most comfortable ergonomic pen! I certainly looks funny but it's performance is great! I made my shopping lists, calendar reminders, and school notes and my hand felt great! My boys liked using it too. I think it is great for small hands. Mr. O liked using it as well as Mr. R. Because the grip is rubbery it doesn't slip in their hands. I'd hope in the future they will make a pencil so the kids can do their homework with it.

I'm going to give one to my dad next time I see him. He is a quadriplegic and has limited mobility and strength in his hands. I'm certain he will be able to use it comfortably.  

I also like that the pen is refillable, so you don't need to buy a new pen when it runs out. You can choose black, blue or red ink for refills. Overall I think this is a great pen for anyone!

You can also enter the giveaway for your very own set of 3 pens.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Cha, Cha, Cha CD Review




I took French in High School. That was many years ago. I don't remember much, certainly not enough to teach my boys. Along comes Whistlefritz with a fun and educational CD, Cha, Cha, Cha!

I love that the first song is a familiar tune and immediately got my boys attention. I think this is so important when introducing something new for the first time.

Mr. R and Mr. C had the most fun dancing to Les Saisons (The Seasons). My favorite is Tous Les Mois (All The Months). The repetition in all the songs is helpful for learning the language.

Mr. O and I had fun looking up the translations in the guide that was included. I can't say that they have grasped a lot of the words, but I know I have planted a seed and I hope we can continue to practice and learn more as time goes on.


Here are some of the awards they have received:

  • Winner of a National Parenting Publications Awards (NAPPA) GOLD Award
  • Winner of a Mom's Choice GOLD Award
  • Named one of the Best 10 Audio-Visual programs of 2012 by Dr. Toy
  • Winner of The National Parenting Center's 2012 Seal of Approval
  • Recommended by the Parents’ Choice Foundation
