Stride Rite Shoes Review

The Stride RiteChildren’s Group, the leading provider of premier children’s footwear, announced today the launch of a new collection of baby shoes with patent-pending Sensory Response Technology(SRT). This revolutionary children’s footwear technology, developed in conjunction with the Leon Root, M.D. Motion Analysis Laboratory at Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, improves the way a child learns to walk via a sensory feedback system, an ultra-flexible design that allows for more freedom of movement, and a unique construction that reduces the number of stumbles and falls.

Shoes in the SRT collection are also designed to make baby comfortable. They feature moisture-wicking linings, which help keep baby’s feet drier longer, and eco-friendly materials such as a recycled EVA heel cup and a partially recycled outsole to protect baby and baby’s future environment. A great feature for mom and dad is a removable insole containing a Fit Check system that easily lets them know when it is time to see a fit specialist.

The fall SRT collection is comprised of four boys’ styles and seven girls’ styles in baby sizes 3 to 8 in various widths, and features fun fashion touches such as suede fringe, metallic leathers and bright hits of color.

I have not received my shoes for review yet, so i’m going to share a little first steps story.

My daughter started walking at 14 months, and having shoes on her actually helped her to balance herself more.  I remember her being in the playpen, and we’d glance over and see her go from one side to the other without holding on. She would never do it when we looked though. We took her to the zoo two days after she officially took off, and she just went wild running from exhibit to exhibit.

ah memories! 

 Momfluence is holding a contest for 5 lucky readers to win their own pair of Stride Rite shoes in sizes 3-8 toddler including medium and wide! Fill out this form for a chance to win

thanks to momfluence for this review

Wow Wow Wubbzy: Wubbzy Goes Boo(giveaway)

Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!: Wubbzy Goes Boo
    

 

 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

Product description: Grab your kookiest costume and head on down to Wuzzleburg for some ghoulish fun in the all new 70 minute  Halloween DVD.

This dvd has 5 spooky episodes

Wubbzy’s Magical Mess Up– When Moo Moo the Magician asks Wubbzy to watch his magical wand, Wubbzy loses control and soon monkeys, elephants and kickity kick balls are running wild! When he returns, establishing order, Wubbzy promises to practice more before he tries any more magic.

Tea for Three-Wubbzy decides to throw  a tea party, but he doesn’t know how. Widget builds a tea party machine, the Tea Time 3000, to make sandwiches and tea, but it malfunctions and does everything wrong.  They’re afraid the tea party was a disaster, but Wubbzy has been having a great time, and thats what a tea party is all about.

Monster Madness-Wubbzy gets scared by a TV show and starts seeing monsters everywhere! Widget build a monster masher to take care of any monsters, but soon she starts seeing monsters too! They rush to Walden’s house and Walden takes out his flashlight to show them all the monsters they saw were just ordinary objects in the dark.

The Last Leaf- Walden is collecting leaves, and he is waiting patiently for the last leaf to fall off the Old  Figgity Fig Tree. Wubbzy and Widget would rather play in the leaf pile. When they return, they find Walden fast asleep! And here comes the last leaf! As the wind takes it away, Wubbzy and Widget are left to chase the errant Leaf all over Wuzzleburg.

The Ghost of Wuzzleburg-It’s the Halloween party at the Wubb Club, and Wubbzy builds his own scary costume out of junk, and scares the party guests. While he’s hiding he notices a ghost sheet floating all by itself. It’s a real ghost! Then the sheet falls off and we see it was only birdy-bird. Birdy-Bird wins for most scariest costume, and Wubbzy wins for most scared person! 

Plus there is a bonus episode

March of the Pumpkins-Wubbzy wants to find the biggest pumpkin, so he can be named Pumpkin King. But Walden and Widget warn him, look out for the real Pumpkin King! Before Wubbzy can get a pumpkin, the Pumpkin King catches them. Luckily he turns out to be a great guy, and he gives Wubbzy and daizy a ride back to the festival just in time for the big march!

***With Halloween just around the corner this movie is packed with scary fun for preschoolers. My Children enjoyed it very much.    Our favorite episode is Monster Madness. My daughter has been having night terrors, and with this episode I can show her that even Wubbzy gets scared, but it turns out to be nothing.   With Monsters, Ghosts, and Pumpkins  this DVD is packed with halloween fun!

    The Zula Patrol DVDS and giveaway

    ZulaWorld logo final 8.6

     

     

     

     

    I recently got the chance to Review two The Zula Patrol DVDS.

    Animal Adventures in Space:the team explores how insects, reptiles, mammals, plants and rocks form and interact with each other.  In Larvae or Leave Me (the first episode), Skip the grasshopper can’t find his friend Wriggly the caterpillar – until he discovers, with help from The Zula Patrol, that Wriggly has transformed into a beautiful butterfly!  Four additional stories on the DVD are:  Egg Hunt, There Goes the Neighborhood, Choosing Sides and Camp Worm .  No job is too big for The Zula Patrol, as they search for stolen frog eggs, help restore life to a canyon ecosystem, solve the mystery of the missing honey, and tunnel through dirt with their worm comrades to help the trees grow – and end up thwarting a threatened “alien invasion” from another planet.

    Moons  Mayhem:follows the intrepid team from Zula in six humor-filled stories that begin with a challenge, and end with a resolution, as they explore the fascinating, often volatile world of moons.  The episodes include: Moon Struck, Blue Moon, Going Through a Phase, Moons Mayhem, Three Ring Gorga and Me, Myself and Io.  It’s non-stop lunar adventure for The Zula Patrol, as they as they rescue a turbulent Venus, who is on a quest to acquire a moon of her own; discover the many moons of Jupiter during Jupiterfest; explore the composition of the surface of Earth’s moon; help save Bula from an awful Were-Mouse curse, and thwart Dark Truder’s nefarious plan to steal all the moons within the solar system.

    Harvey Prince Perfumes

    i got to try out two perfumes by Harvey PrinceAgeless and eAu fLirt.

    Ageless:  This fragrance defies your skins natural age revealing scent.    Ageless is an aromatic essence of pink grapefruit, mango, anti-oxidant rich pomegranate, jasmine and musk. This perfume is said to make you smell younger.

    This perfume definitely smelled great, did it make me smell younger, no I’m only in my twenty’s.   The scent of grapefruit does give it a refreshing scent to make you feel younger. i really liked it .

      The downsides are it only comes in one size bottle. 3.4 oz and costs $120

    Eau Flirt Box and Bottle Glamour Shot

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    eAu fLirt: from pr:

     

    Drs, Alan Hirsch and Jason Gruss of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation. Investigating the impact of 30 different ambient scents or scent mixes on male sexual arousal, the researchers found that a combination of lavender and pumpkin pie stirred up the most passion.

    “With essences, but is also nuanced, complex, and utterly unforgettable,” says KumarRamani, founder of Harvey Prince.

     

    was inspired by a study done by

    Eau Flirt, we have designed a fragrance that contains these notes, floral and spicy middle notes, woods and musk bottom notes, combined with vanilla and pumpkin essences.

    All ingredients – sourced from France, Italy and the U.S — are real flower and plant essences, which are far more subtle and complex than the lab-created synthetics used in many modern perfumes. These react beautifully with individual skin chemistry to make “come hither” scent.

    I really loved the smell of this one and so did my hubby. i felt very attractive knowing that i smelled so good.  Does it attract men, i couldn’t tell you, because i don’t try. it attracted my hubby!

    I loved both of these perfumes, thanks to harvey prince

    Just for you i have a full sized bottle of ageless. retail $98 to give away to one lucky reader
