- brandy3 53 Comments

Product Details 

Description:It’s a big cat adventure! When Diego, Baby Jaguar and Daddy Lion head out to Lion Cub’s party, they discover some little lions in trouble. With Diego and Daddy Lion’s help, we save a Baby Lion stuck on a broken branch; we use our lion claws to rip Cousin Lion out of an animal trap; and we find Sister Lion who’s hiding in the tall grass. This adventure, plus three more episodes, adds up to over an hour and a half of Diego fun!

The episodes:

Welcome Home, Lion Cub-explained above

Diego’s ringed seal rescue– A ringed seal is in trouble in the arctic, and Diego needs to bring him back to ringed seal rescue home.

Diego reunites hippopotamus and Oxpeckerhippopotamus is moving to a new home at hippo lake, but needs Diego’s help bringing his symbiotic friend Oxpecker who’s stuck at the old river.

Diego’s orangutan rescue-when baby orangutan gets taken away in a canoe, he teams up with sister orangutan to help save him.

****We love watching all the different animals Diego rescues and learning about them. Traveling and learning about different countries too. Plus my kids always play along when Diego needs your help.  The learning is great with sound identification, matching, physical motion and visual skills. Plus learning spanish words too!

  • Buttons,
  •  Burlesque Style dance.

Behind the PussyCat Dolls Workout:

  • Behind the scenes footage
  • interview with pussy cat dolls creator Robin Antin and PussyCat Dolls lead singer Nicole Scherzinger.

****I just finished watching the video and doing the workout. I have to say i’m hurting and exhausted. Thats good though, it’s a very good workout. There are a lot of sexy moves to like squats, smacking the booty, popin it, shaking it. It’s very sexy but at the same time I had a lot of trouble, because I am not that flexible. The dance routine goes very fast even when they break it down. I felt the burn, so I still think it’s a good routine for shedding the pounds.

Make your Sandwich into a Pop Star

- brandy3 1 Comment

Hannah Montana is ending, but you can still have a pop star sandwich!

From site: This fabulous 2-in-1 Maker browns and heats 2 Hannah Sandwiches or plain Panini at one time. The interchangeable, non-stick grill plates easily snap in and out for easy clean up and are dishwasher safe. This modern, stylish appliance offers a cool touch exterior and plate handles for extra safety. We even include a bonus cleaning brush!

 

 

 

**** This is very simple to use. The Sandwich maker comes with two sets of plates. one for sandwiches and one for Panini.  I made Grilled cheese sandwiches, and it seemed like it took a little longer than using a skillet. About 9 minutes for the designs to show on the front. It’s very easy to clean, as the removable plates are dishwasher safe. The one downside was no matter how much butter i used a little part of the sandwich still decided to stick to the plates.

Here is how my sandwiches turned out:

top of sandwiches:

Bottom of sandwiches:

***As you can tell the tops didn’t turn out as well as the bottom, but my kids still loved them.

Be Victorious this year with Special K

- brandy3 1 Comment

Kellogg’s special K recently launched its “Be Victorious” program…just in time for New Year’s resolutions.

The first step in planning for victory is deciding what your victory should be. And this year, Special brought victory to life with six real women who shared their own victory stories.
These six women shared what “victory” means to them with Special K women across the country. They could be friends, neighbors or the moms who drive the carpool on Tuesdays. They aren’t celebrities or public figures. they’re real women!

The be victorious women share some of their Victories, that were part of their television ad.

  • Mary, age 30, Chicago, Ill.: “My victory is looking into a mirror and liking the woman looking back at me.”
  • Jeannie, age 27, Gloucester, Va.: “My victory is running a marathon.”
  • Jacquelyn, age 35, Lindenhurst, Ill.: “My victory is to show Isabelle that mommy feels confident.”
  • Courtney, age 35, Chicago, Ill.: “My victory is hearing those four little words: ‘Have you lost weight?’”
  • Kristi, age 26, Chicago, Ill.: “My victory is to not have to use my arms to cover my stomach.”
  • Melissa, age 33, Oswego, Ill.: “My victory is to not have to use body-shaping undergarments.”

As part of this new campaign, Kellogg’s has introduced 2 new products to help with your weight management goals.

Special K fruit crisps-these bars are 100 calorie per pack. 2 bars in a pack and 5 packages in a box. Fruit crisps are drizzled in vanilla icing, and made with real fruit.

*** These bars are delicious, they taste just like poptarts. just half the fat. They come in strawberry and blueberry.

Special K low-fat Granola-This cereal has clusters of whole grain and sweet honey. At 5 grams of fiber and 3 grams of fat per serving this is a great way to start the day.

*** This is really good, I am not a big fan of Special K cereals, but low-fat granola is really good.  My husband likes it also, which is rare. It has a very strong Honey granola taste. The box says lose pounds in 2 weeks. I think that is if you eat it with skim milk. This is a great healthy breakfast.
