One of our favorite holiday characters is Abominable Snowman (Bumble). When we saw the Abbey Abominable costume for 2012, my daughter begged me for it.
Abbey Bominable is a foreign exchange student at Monster High from the North Pole, she is the daughter of the Abominable Snowman. The costume includes leg and arm warmers and dress.

*** My daughter loves this Monster High costume. The dress was a perfect fit, but a little long. The fur neck can go around the shoulders or above the shoulders around the neck. The dress has a beautiful pattern. The arm and leg warmers will keep my daughter warm on Halloween night. The only downside about the warmers are they shed like crazy, just taking them out of the bag we got hair everywhere.
We will be buying the wig to go along with this costume, it is the perfect matching piece.
Retail: $21.98
What will Your child be for Halloween this year?

My daughter has yet to start her period, but I know it won’t be that far away. I started early, so I know she will too. We have already started talking about periods and babies and everything that comes the maturity talk. My daughter has become interested to know, thanks to reality shows she has watched.
The easiest time to talk to her is when we are alone. Her brother and sister always make sounds and giggles that embarrass her. Every one has said they think she i still to young to understand, after all she is only 7 1/2, but she is very smart. She is actually coming to me with things she is learning herself either from books or TV.
Now when I have to start the conversation with my middle daughter I am a bit nervous. She is more shy and reserved. So when the conversation starts with her I think I will just take her one on one and start the conversation out slow.
I think you can tell when your child is ready when they start to ask questions about anatomy, getting breasts, sex etc.
They actually have books to help too, like The Period Book. I know when I was younger it was easier for me to figure everything out on my own. My mom was kind of embarrassing. I would ask her after I already had the facts to get her opinion on things.
To get girls ready for their period, Kotex has come out with a whole new line U by Kotex Tween. the perfect thin pad with wings, that protects but won’t make your daughter feel bulky.
If you are having trouble talking to your tween about periods Kotex Tween has also set up helpful tips and videos, for you to get the talks started called Hello Period.
Disclosure: I wrote this review while participating in a Brand Ambassador Campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of U by Kotex Tween and received products to facilitate my post and a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.
I have been using the Oraline Kids Toothbrush Sanitizer with toothbrushes for 2 weeks now, and I am really enjoying it. I hate how dirty the tooth brushes get from the kids and there are alway little pieces of toothpaste still in the brush.
With the sanitizer it gets rid of the all the germs. It doesn’t take that long either, the uv light was on for 10 minutes than the fan comes on for 2 hours. After the sanitation the brushes come out clean, but I did notice they had a weird smell, not to bad though. It went away after a couple hours.
Our first toothbrush we used fell apart only a few days after use. The bristles started falling out when mu daughter brushed her teeth. I don’t know if it’s just the brush, or my daughter is just using it to hard.
This has actually made my bathroom more organized for my kids. Now when it’s time to brush their teeth, they just open the sanitizer and get their brush instead of it laying on the counter. Plus it is a lot more sanitary too.

My daughter loves to play games, thats all she wants to all day. Between video games and the iPad she will go back and forth between games. Sometimes how much she plays actualy worries me, and I have to cut her off. If It’s a educational game, than I am a little more accepting to the game. Besides learning it has to be a game that gets her thinking hard, not just all fun.
PLaying games might not be all that bad though…
according to USA Today, “todays gamer may be tomorrows surgeon”.
one of the games that I have been accepting to my daughter playing is AmazingWorldGame. Amazing World has play and patterns kids love! kids can chat with friends, care for their Zings and complete missions. You can also customize your home and collect prizes in a controlled environment.
** Zings are lovable and energetic creatures, Zings can be named, customized and put to challenges by hosts.
I really love the bright colors in this game, it makes it more interesting for small children. The Zing’s are so adorable, they kind of look like zoo animals. You can start out by building your house and customizing it the way you like. You can decorate your house, lake by adding bushes and windmills so much more.. My favorite part of the game though would be the mission mode, just traveling through the levels. It is a little hard to do all the controls on the computer, but I am getting use to it.
Playing Amazing World is free, all you have to do is choose the free-to-play option and choose a generic Zing at Amazing World. When you register a plush toy or figure, you can bring your characters to life. You also get exclusive prizes.

Oraline provides Dental products for the home, child care, and professional dental practices. tehir products consist of personalized toothbrushes, floss, toothpaste, and sanitizing systems.
I received a Oraline kit to test out myself. The ordering process was very simple. You just choose the name of the child you want one the brushes and can upload a photo as well. everything comes together as a kit for a low price.
A kit contains:
5 unit toothbrush sanitizer
4oz bubblegum tooth gel
personalized toothbrush.
I really really like this kit, the toothbrushes are so cute. I got mine designed for my daughter and it has her name and picture. The picture was very small though you could hardly see it. We also received the bubblegum tooth gel. This has to be the best toothpaste/gel ever for kids. My daughter has always had a taste problem with toothpaste. She refuses to brush her teeth because she can’t stand the taste, the bubblegum gel she really likes though. So we have had no problems, but it is a fluoride toothpaste so you need to be wary of the kids swallowing it.
The sanitizer is really neat, you just hook the toothbrushes in it, plug it in and it sanitizes them. The Uv light stays on for 10 minutes and then the fan comes on for 2-3 hours depending on how you are using the product batteries or plugged in. It even fits regular kid toothbrushes.
This is perfect for daycares or sleep overs, or just for yourself.
Right now they are havinga special you can get the kit for $59.95 + shipping, if your one of the first 100 to order you get this awesome gift bag full of goodies.
