ABC's with Bingzy Bee: Phonics
By Lisa N. | February 3, 2012
What a sensational week here at Bing Note! Our new app – ABC’s with Bingzy Bee: Phonics was released on Monday and we are excited to share the fun with you!
Bingzy Bee: Phonics is the 1st animated, educational app that teaches the letters of the alphabet, along with their corresponding sounds in a song. The app is developed by an award-winning elementary school teacher, Ms. Arlene Richards, who spent over 40 years teaching children, both in the classroom and one-on-one.
Since our app is for kids, I took the game to my 6 year old son Aidan to review. He is in the first grade and even though the recommend age is pre-k to kindergarten my son was happy to take over my iPhone and play with Bingzy Bee.
Aidan’s favorite part of the app was song and games. He loves how the ABC song starts out and then stops to play a game. He played with the new app last night for over an hour and asked to play with it again today when he came home from school.
Aidan said his favorite character was Bingzy Bee, and he loved all the colors and singing the song. I have heard the song in my home at least 10 times since yesterday.
I asked him what he would tell his friends about ABC’s with Bingzy Bee and he said “I would tell them this is awesome and cool!”
The ABC’s with Bingzy Bee: Phonics app is now available at iTunes and is 99 cents. Run on over and download it for your favorite little boy or girl!

Introducing…Bingzy's ABC Song
By Lisa N. | January 26, 2012
We are so excited!! We are proud to introduce Bingzy’s ABC Song. Developed by an award-winning teacher, and used in the classroom for decades with proven success. We understand the importance of correct phonetics, especially when teaching young children, so the sounds are pronounced by a professionally trained teacher.
Bingzy's ABC Song is a great first step to beginning reading. Although a bit of a warning, the song is rather addicting so don't blame us if your child is singing the sounds of the alphabet all day long.
The Bingzy's ABC Song will also be featured in ABC's with Bingzy Bee: Phonics, which is the 1st animated app that teaches the letters of the alphabet along with its corresponding sounds, all in a song. The app will launch in February 2012 and it is perfect for PreK and Kindergarten. The app will be available for the iPhone and the iPod.
Right now, the song is available on CD Baby, iTunes (just search for Bingzy's ABC Song), and Amazon. Head on over to take a listen and have fun with your kids!

My Gosh! How Do I Get Organized?
By Lisa N. | January 20, 2012
Is your life disorganized? Are you always searching for something you lost, or frustrated from the disorganization. The beginning of the year is a great time to get organized. In order to take steps to organization you need to take the time to decide what your goals and priorities are for organization.
It’s a great idea to start with organizing your space. Start with an area you’re in all the time such as your kitchen, bedroom, office, or even your desk. Take the time to go through what you have, throw away what you don’t use and place everything else in a designated space.
According to Online Organizing.com, if you have a hard time making decisions, bring in an objective THIRD party — not your nosy mother-in-law or best friend who will tell you to keep it all. But someone who can honestly say, "Why are you keeping that?" — like a Professional Organizer!
Once you have started with organizing your space, start the habit of making sure you put it back where you found it. Instead of letting a junk pile build up again, go through your mail, recycle your junk mail, set up a bill sorting system, and eliminate piles from building up on your desk.
I like to store items in cute little boxes that I received gifts in over the year. Cute cards are stored in a small gift box, Christmas Cards are thrown away, photos are clipped and organized into a motif for my fridge, I also have a designated drawer for my favorite writings from my children and I spotlight their artwork on my walls switching them out monthly and sometimes weekly.
Other great ways to get organized is using a calendar. I prefer using an electronic calendar and I have different labels for my business, personal, kid’s schedule and kid’s school. The calendar is set up to send me reminders though emails and text alerts. I also check my calendar every day to remind myself of what I have going on. On my calendar I list appointments as well as tasks I need to complete for the day.
The main thing is to start small and slowly work on adding more rooms to your organization. Once you start you will find that organization will help you complete tasks, help mornings run smoother, and even help you set future goals for yourself. Getting organized is a stepping stone for future success!
Here is a fun little quiz to test if you need help with organization (just in case you’re not sure!) Do You Need Help?
