My daughters love playing dress up, not only in dresses their costumes for Halloween too. My daughter has a love for My Little Pony, so when we had the chance to review a costume, we jumped at the chance to explore Pinkie Pie.
The My Little Pony toy line was introduced by Hasbro in the 1980’s and they have been popular ever since. Each pony had its own personality and color and Pinkie Pie is the leader of the other ponies in the land of Ponyville. All little girls love ponies, and your little girl will love wearing the Girl’s My Little Pony Pinkie Pie costume! Pinkie Pie loves everything pink, like balloons and cotton candy. The Pinkie Pie costume features a pink jumpsuit with a pink satin bow around the waist. The Pinkie Pie Halloween costume also has a balloon decal on the hip, showing off her love of balloons as well as detachable tail. This My Little Pony costume is topped off with a character headpiece that sits comfortably on the top of your little girl’s head and features Pinkie Pie’s face and beautiful wavy mane. She will look absolutely adorable for Halloween trick-or-treating!
The Pinkie Pie costume is definitely cute. It’s a one piece suit with a detachable tale, and a hat/mask. My daughter absolutely loved it from the minute it arrived. In fact my daughter has been wearing it all day today and refuses to take it off. The tail detaches and reattaches with a little velcro piece. The costume features a pink bow in the middle and balloons on the right side at the hip. The mask is very small and is not supposed to be used as a traditional mask. The instructions say to wear it toward the side of the head. The band does not fit under the neck though it is too small. You have to put it around the head like a sweatband, to stay. This is definitly a great dress up costume for girls.
Retail value is $45.99 but Costume discounters has it for $28.97
Costume Discounters also guarantees the lowest price on the internet. If you find the identical costume elsewhere within 10 days of purchase at a lower price, they will match the costume price and take off an additional 20%.

Take out the trash, eat your broccoli — who needs moms anyway? Nine-year-old Milo (Seth Green) finds out how much he needs his mom (Joan Cusack) when she’s nabbed by Martians who plan to steal her mom-ness for their own young. In a race against time and oxygen, his quest to save her knows no bounds. And with some unexpected help, Milo just might find his way back to her — in more ways than one.

Playing outside with Dora has never been so much fun, build a garden with Dora. With this buildable playset girls will love dressing up Dora with interchangeable skirts, while she waters her garden.

My girls loved this playset. We are Trying to make our own garden, but we have to get the dirt and soil settled before we can plant anything. Playing with this playset has made my daughters even more excited about starting a garden. The set does come apart very easily when moved, that was a little discouraging when they played. we had to fix it all the time.

Take a break from the race to tune up with K’Nex Roary the Racing Car Silver Hatch Garage Building Set! Your child can build the Silver Hatch Racetrack Garage to really experience a day in the world of Roary!
This Knex set is a great gift for any boy. it is very easy to assemble and tons of fun play time. My son was more interested in the car than the garage set. My daughters decided to get in on the play and used their Dora and Barbie dolls to be mechanics and fix Roary every time he came into the shop!

My kids have always wanted a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese, so yesterday they finally got to have one. We decided to have a double birthday party since both my daughters birthdays are only a month apart.
Chuck E Cheese offers to birthday packages…..
$15.99 and $20.99 per child, you get
This was also our first time at a Chuck E Cheese in New York, and it was fun. There were 4 other parties going on at the same time and it got really crazy. I only had 8 kids and 7 adults, but other parties had like 40 or more people. When we first walked in we noticed a weird smell, but just put it off. We were greeted kindly at the door and of course got stamped at kid check, we also met our hostess for the party. The first thing we did was the kids got their tokens and went to play games. an hour later we sat down to eat pizza and have cake, then partied with Chuck E and do the ticket blaster. I received a paper that had the itinerary on it, but it was not followed and was a little disorganized.
What I didn’t like: We opted for the $20.99 package, but did not receive the 500 tickets, party stickers, sticker for adult, and bank with tokens. I asked about the products and they said they were coming but never did. After asking 3 times I gave up, plus I felt like I had to chase my hostess around. The game floor was nice but a lot of the games were out of tickets or ate my tokens. There was not enough time to open gifts at the party, we had to take them home and open them.
I was a little disappointed things weren’t going perfect, the kids were having a blast and couldn’t care less.

Overall there were some disappointments, but we still love Chuck E Cheese and will continue to go. we are going again in a month, just for the kids to play. My main suggestion for birthday parties is to call ahead and see how many parties will be at the same time as yours. I think there should only be 2 or 3 parties allowed at a time. It was really overcrowded. I would give Chuck E Cheese a definite 10, but the particular facility we went to would only get a 5.
****UPDATE: I just received a phone call from Chuck E Cheese Geust Relations and they are sending me everything I didn’t receive at the party Plus some. Now thats satisfaction!
Disclosure: No compensation was received, I received a certificate for a free party, but paid a lot out-of-pocket. All opinions are 100% my own.
