Give the Kids A Ring Pop Sugar Free Review and GiveawayCLOSED

- brandy3 101 Comments

product Description: Parents can now feel even better about giving Ring Pop to their kids because Sugar Free Ring Pop won’t cause cavities, has no fat, and has only 30 calories per great-tasting, long-lasting pop! Sugar Free Ring Pop is the perfect treat and comes in Blue Raspberry, Watermelon, Strawberry!

****I gave these to my kids and they loved them. They couldn’t really even tell they didn’t have sugar in them. This is a better alternative to the original that have sugar in them, these are sweetened with Splenda. The downside to it, for me at least is artificial sweeteners tend to give me a stomach ache. They still look the same, come in bright fun colors, and of course the kids like them.

You can find these at Walmart stores nationwide.

I have two packages of sugar free ring pops to giveaway(bag contains 3)

Tooth Fairy DVD GiveawayCLOSED

- brandy3 159 Comments

Product description: Dwayne Johnson stars as Derek Thompson, one of the toughest hockey players around — until he’s sentenced to one week’s hard labor as the world’s most unlikely tooth fairy! Even though he must sport frilly wings and learn the magical tricks of the trade from his silver-winged superiors (Julie Andrews and Billy Crystal), Derek’s determined to do the job HIS way and prove he’s got what it takes!
Bonus Features:

  • Tooth Fairy Training Center

****This movie is a step up for Dwayne Johnson. I think he did a great job in this character. He is a hockey player who doesn’y believe in the tooth fairy, and because of that he is summoned to fairy land to serve as a tooth fairy.  I liked when he was getting chased by the cat and spulled out a horn and the cat went flying. This movie has it’s funny parts, but I would say it’s mainly for kids.

****My daughters have been enjoying this now that the weather has warmed up, they can go outside and have a Strawberry Shortcake pool party.  The flower even sprays water, to give a little shower. This is not a very messy toy, and great summer play for little girls. Strawberry Shortcake even has her own little towel, so cute. My daughters are really enjoying this toy.
