Strawberry Shortcake - Twirling Flower Fashions Doll

 

 

Create fashion “magic” with your sweet-smelling Strawberry Shortcake figure! Put your stylish red-haired friend on her flower stage and start the spinning action. While she’s twirling, spray water from her flower spritzer and a design will “magically” appear on her skirt! Are you two ready to create a new look? Put on her other color-change skirt or just wait for the first one to dry and then use your flower spritzer to create another new design!

****My daughter absolutely loves Strawberry Shortcake, she even kind of looks like her. LOL! This doll makes playing with strawberry so much fun, just fill up the rose with water and spray Strawberry’s dress and watch it change colors. The flower was a little hard to get off and on the stem. It seemed that when i finally got it back o most of the water had dripped out. My daughter still had fun with this toy.

Retail: 19.99 at Hasbro Toy Shop

Tori dresses up as a cop who wears way to much red lipstick and is obsessed with raisin Bran. It is so hilarious.  This dvd also features our favorite Victorious movie: Freak the Freak Out.  where Tori, Cat and Jade trick two snobby girls into think Tori is a hideous girl, to win a singing competition.  If you have volume 1, you definitely need to add this volume to your collection.

Kids have all the fun with Leapfrog

- brandy3 1 Comment

I was recently able to have a little party with some neighbors, and show off some of the newest and greatest Leapfrog products.

While only half of the people showed up on my guest list (To be expected since Pediculus humans capitis has hit our school). We still had a blast though.

The first product I featured and couldn’t wait to get too.
Tag Reader

I love the tag reader, now that my daughter is in Kindergarten and learning how to read, It’s so helpful. The tag reader is not only reads you the story, It helps with sounds and you can play games with it.

Now the That Reader can also be used with the interactive map.


The Interactive map helps with Learning about the world. The kids knew instantly where we lived by identifying the big picture of the Statue Of Liberty.

Next we talked a little about different books that were available, including books with your favorite characters. I also passed out booklets with coloring sheets and $5 coupons for Leapster games (very rare coupon).

The big reveal of the Leap Pad was exciting for everyone. A lot of the parents complained that their kids loved to use their I Pads and smartphones to play games. This is a great alternative for kids and a lot cheaper than a I pad.

The App the kids most got a kick out of was the Funny Face app. Take a picture, the expand the nose, or forehead. All the kids were just cracking up over that.

A big thank you to Mom Select and Leapfrog for allowing me to show my neighbors all about these exciting products. I think I have enticed some parents to go out and get these products themselves.

visit www.leapfrog.com for more information nd to view the products.

Celebrate Halloween With Costume Supercenter

- brandy3 1 Comment

Halloween is a little over a month away, I am so excited it is my favorite holiday..

I am a little to old to trick or treat (Snicker), but I love being able to dress up my kids and take them around. Every year I let my kids choose their own costumes, and this year my daughter chose a costume from Costume Supercenter. They have a huge variety of kids costumes to choose from.

Their new characters this year are Monster High, Hello Kitty, Disney Newest Princess Rapunzel, and so much more.

My daughter chose Rapunzel!

This costume is so adorable, and perfectly matches Rapunzel’s character. The dress is purple with pink trim, sheer sleeves and a bow with Rapunzel’s picture. The dress also comes with a petticoat and a crown.  The crown is all fabric, but fits heads better as it is more of a head band. The sleeves were a little tight and left bands on her arm, but she didn’t mind. Rapunzel will be celebrating in London in a few days, she is officially becoming a Disney Princess. My daughter will be wearing her costume while she watches.

This costume retails for $46.99
