Holiday Gifts: Get Your Holiday Cards with HP and Walmart #HP #WarmYourWalls

Disclosure: A gift card was received to purchase cards, no other compensation was received. All opinions are my own.

I love making holiday cards, it’s so fun to just add your personal touches and photos. I always do picture cards, since my family is so far away. They enjoy getting to see all the pictures and the kids always bring the cards to life.

HP and Walmart have teamed up to offer a variety of different photo gifts that can be ordered and picked up in store or shipped.
Our favorite thing about the items are most of them have characters you can feature. We made a photo book featuring cars, read about it here.

My kids wanted to do a Spongebob holiday card, since we really only put their pic on the card. I agreed.
This was the card and picture they choose.

** My daughters have Just loved Monster High and after 13 Wishes came out they were begging for this game. We don’t have any Monster High WII games, and didn’t know what to expect as far as quality or what the characters would look like.
The game so far has been a bit challenging for my 8 year old. You are helping Frankie and her friends find 13 shards of the mirror to stop Wisp. She is just having a bit of trouble finding where to go for the shards. That is a good thing though, I would rather have a game that challenged my child.
The quality of the game looks great it’s very clear and the characters look exactly like the dolls.

You can buy the Monster High WII game From Amazon and other retailers nationwide.

The Isaac Mizrahi Celia Boot in animal print fit my daughter perfectly. She is a bit glam, but at the same time a bit of a tom boy.

Gift Idea: Magic School Bus Dinosaurs LeapPad Game #Scholastic

Disclosure: No compensation was received for this post. A product was provided by Scholastic. All opinions are my own.

Unknown

My kids are always playing their Leapfrog Leapster Explorers everyday, they have almost beaten every game we have.   Every time they come out with a new game my kids are begging for it.

There are so many games we still don’t have, but my kids will be adding them all to their holiday lists.

When they came out with The Magic School Bus Oceans for the Leapster, we immediately got it for my daughter. She is really into science and loves The Magic School Bus series. Scholastic has now released The magic School Bus Dinosaurs Leapster/LeapPad game.

This game encourages children to think like scientists as they learn about prehistoric creatures. Kids travel back in time with Ms. Frizzle to the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous time periods, playing six games that teach fundamental life science concepts and hundreds of facts about sixteen prehistoric creatures. The game focuses on using identification, observation and classification skills to teach facts about dinosaur skeletons, their size, survival strategies and the time periods in which they lived. Players also can earn badges for achievements during game play.

Teaches:

Dinosaur Facts
Life Science
Logic and Reasoning
Observation Skills

PicMonkey Collage

This game is recommended for K-4th grade or ages 5-9, but it seemed a little to easy for my 3rd grader. Mrs. Fizzles class as crazy as she is takes the kids back in time, to visit the dinosaurs. You play 4 mini games to unlock a dinosaur. The games are very simple, finding a certain dinosaur and taking pictures, dinosaur puzzle and more. When the puzzles are finished you unlock a dinosaur. The first it showed was a T-Rex, and then Arnold from Mrs. Fizzles class became a T-Rex, it was really funny. You guide him through a maze to eat plant eating dinosaurs. There are 16 dinosaurs to unlock.

You can find The Magic School Bus Dinosaurs at Scholastic or Leapfrog for $24.99

Duracell Quantum Batteries Review and GiveawayClosed

Disclosure: No formal compensation was received, a product was provided for my review. All opinions are my own.

We go through batteries really fast in my house. We just use electronics that much, mainly the kids toys or video game systems etc.  We have rechargeable batteries but need regular batteries in between.

When I heard about Duracell Quantum, I really wanted to try them. They say that they last longer than any other alkaline battery.

  • Duracell Quantum, with its Hi-Density Core that stores more power than ever before, is the single solution for all household needs from remote controls to kid’s toys.
  • Duracell Quantum features PowerCheck on the battery cell so you will always know how much power is left in the battery – so nothing is wasted!

*** we have these batteries in the kids Leapfrog handheld games, which go through batteries the fastest, to see how long they will last. So far day one is going good. So far one of my favorite features about the battery is the power check. I never know how much life is left in a battery and I hate throwing it out not knowing. So being able to see just how much life is left on a battery is a big plus. My daughters favorite feature is that they are the color red.

Duracell donated 1 million of these powerful batteries to first responders across the country to help protect our families. Yes, you read that right 1 million!

 

One of my readers will win a 20 pack of AA Duracell Quantum batteries.

Just watch the video and leave me a comment on your thoughts. (video is very emotional and sweet, you might cry).

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.
