The shoes have the signature police lights and front headlights. My favorite part of the shoe is the lights have a on/off button to control when the shoes blink. I hate when your in a theater and someone is walking around with light up shoes.

Back To School With Isaac Mizrahi NY Collection For Girls

Isaac has some of the cutest fashions available for fall.

The collection is hitting stores this August, an is made up of bright colors and fun phrases.  Some of the shirts say Hooray!, Really?, or are full of sparkles.   It’s everything that my kids love in clothes, sparkles, fun, and colors.

We got to try a few outfits for our Back To School guide.

This sparkly heart shirt goes with everything, and really stands out.

My daughter loves this outfit. The Hooray shirt is so fun, and the leopard print leggings just add to the pizazz.

The shirts have a silky quality to them instead of being cotton, and the leggings are more like jeggings with a zipper and buttons. I would also suggest checking the sizing chart as the clothes seeed to be a bit on the larger side. The leggings were very long.

Pieces range from $25-$100

Sharing A Childhood Favorite With My Kids

Disclosure: No compensation at all was received. This is a free show presented by the Huntington Arts Council.

When I was younger I would watch Lamb Chops Playhouse, yes I watched it. My mother complained all the time, she hated “This is The Song That Doesn’t End”

I loved it though! Unfortunately Sherry Lewis passed away in 1998 and the show stopped.

A few years later her daughter took over and played Lamb Chop. 13 years later I finally got to introduce my children to Lamb Chop, as Mallory Lewis and Lamb Chop came to our town.

It wasn’t exactly the same as Mallory has made the show her own, but it was still great to have my kids experience one of my childhood favorites.

Summer is slowly winding down, and while we haven’t really left home that much, we are still having fun. My kids have been doing so much arts and crafts this summer I have ran out of room to put up pictures.

Some of their favorite products keeping them busy are:

Crayola Washable Sidewalk Chalk

  • First Sidewalk chalk that features 48 different colors
  • a new anti-roll shape helps keeping chalk from rolling away when not in use.
  • washes away from sidewalks and driveways with a spray of water

Color Wonder Mini Stow and Go:

  • easy to take on the road with you this summer
  • Comes in a hard case so your child has a board for a writing surface and easy storage.
  • Each pack includes 15 pages of coloring paper and 3 markers

 

Color Wonder Mess Free Glitter Paper and Markers:

  • Have all the fun with Glitter but without the mess, as the glitter fun is only on paper.
  • Create Master Pieces with Disney Princess or Fairies
  • Kids will love seeing hidden images appear on the glitter paper.

My kids have been having so much fun this summer with everything. The Sidewalk chalk has been lighting up mu back porch. My kids have been drawing a big sun and the sky around it.   The Glitter paper is a favorite for my daughter as we don’t have glitter in the house much.

The stow and go is perfect for our car trips.   The kids are always fighting in the car, so  we always try and have something in the car for them to do.

Finding A Summer Camp In New York

This is a sponsored post

Unknown

It’s finally summer and now that my kids are out of school they are getting a little bored. I have been looking into Summer camps for them, and deciding which one is best. I always do this by location, amenities, and activities they have going on. After all, you don’t want to send your child away to camp unless you know it’s one of the bests.

One of the camps I have found is right here in New York near the Adirondacks. Camp Chateaugay is in a safe secure location right on the lake. Some of the activities that your child will experience are variety of sports, cooking, theatre, guitar, dancing and tons more.

After looking at the site, I would feel really comfortable sending my kids to this camp. They hire only the best staff,and The owners are all well educated and have tons of experience.They have nurse staff available for any problems. There is just so much going on at this camp, the entire day is full of activities.

This would be the the place to send your children for the summer. They will come away refreshed and ready to go back to school with a great experience.

For more information on the camp or rates, please visit their website www.chateaugay.com.

Learning Monster High The Hard Way

Unknown

Monster High was introduced in 2010, but it was only until this last year that my daughter finally became really interested in them.

Now she wants all the Monster High Dolls. Her birthday is a little over a week away and the problem is……

I am learning the hard way about trying to find popular toys. I have been searching everywhere for those hard to find Monster High Dolls, they really are hard to find. My local Target ran out of Deuce Gorgon dolls in less than a hour.

The sad part is most people buy them all up then sell them on Ebay for 3 times what they are worth.
I refuse to send $25 on a doll.

It is really sad to me that people have to do that and can’t leave any of the dolls on shelves for those who want them.

The fight will continue on too, since they release new characters every year. Right now we are trying to find a few dolls for the right price.

We are looking for
Cleo De Nile
Deuce Gorgon
The only main characters we need

Jinafire Long
C.A. Cupid
Caterine Demew

I hate popular toys. sigh
