About Me

I chose to become an Educational Consultant because Discovery Toys offers the best developmental toys and games.And I wanted the best for my daughter!As a former early childhood teacher, I truly believe that play is a child’s work. When children play, they learn, grow, and experience the world around them. They play t make sense of their world.Children love these toys because they are fun. I love the toys because they learn while they play! And I have fun playing with my daughter!For me, Discovery Toys provides a meaningful business opportunity. I get to share ways for families to learn and play together! It’s a career that allows me to build my work schedule around my family while earning an income that supports my lifestyle. I have fun playing for a living!Let me show you how to raise your family and your income with Discovery Toys.Extended Network Banner made with MyBannerMaker.com! Click here to make your own!

My Interests

I enjoy shopping for home decor and small antiques, like textiles and paper fans. I have really gotten where I enjoy shopping for jewelry and shoes. I love wandering around the botanical garden. And I've always been drawn to toys and children's books. That's why being a consultant with Discovery Toys is so rewarding. I get to play for a living!

I'd like to meet:

Other moms that love playing with their children. People that want to make a difference in the lives of children. Parents, educators, and therapists that are looking for the best and safest educational toys. Families that are dealing with autism, as Discovery Toys supports families with autism.Is it time for you to make a change?This is a fun, simple, flexible business. Training comes from the Number 1 TEAM in the company. Earn recognition, rewards, and travel!If you'd like to know more, visit my website at www.discoverytoyslink.com/LParker or call 256-841-4388.

Music:

I like a variety of styles, except not rap or heavy metal. I especially like to listen to the music from my teens and early twenties. I've even learned to like jazz, just from listening to one of Discovery Toys' Do-Re-Me & You CDs.

Television:

Don't watch much tv - except Noggin, Disney, and APT with my daughter. When I do get to watch, I enjoy Project Runway.

Books:

I love children's books! That's where I head to at the bookstore or library. We are loving reading the Junie B. Jones series to our daughter. Also love Roald Dahl's books. And I love that Discovery Toys' product line includes terrific books and CDs, many from Do-Re-Me & You (from Kindermusik International).

Heroes:

Family - for coming out stronger after difficulties of life. Those that helped bring our daughter into our family.
