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.

Now that Halloween is over, the next holiday to think about is Thanksgiving. The first thing I think of is food, and of course Turkey.

check out the Butterball website for great tips and recipes. They have perfect portions and thawing guide to help you chose what pound turkey to buy, how long to thaw it, and how long to cook your turkey.

We cooked last year on our own for the first time, and though I set the Turkey out a day and a half before hand it still was not thawed. I tried water everything. So the best tip I can give is to prepare and set out the turkey well in advance or to buy fresh.

Frozen Turkey

Visit www.Butterball.com for great recipes and tips, what i love is they also have tips for getting your kids involved in Thanksgiving day cooking.

  • Be prepared-let them know what you will be cooking and how they can help. Mix up the routine a little for their enjoyment.
  • help them feel like a cooking whiz-let them feel the part with a cooking apron and hat, plus let them have their own plastic measuring spoons and utensils.
  • safety first- remind them that the stove and knifes are adult jobs and they shouldn’t lick spoons, and always wash your hands.
  • assign the right tasks-assign tasks that are age appropriate and they can handle.
  • have a blast-cooking can be a great way to bond with your child so relax and have fun.
If you have trouble at all on Thanksgiving, you can call the Butterball Turkey Talk Line 1800-Butterball (1800-288-8372).

****We absolutely love Victorious, it’s one of our favorite shows on Nickelodeon.  This dvd features some of our favorite episodes like Sleepover at Sikowitz’s where each of the kids has to improvise without breaking character. 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.

Perfect Gift For any Parent

I had to share this. I did the U printing giveaway a few months ago and received a complimentary prize for holding the giveaway. My picture arrived yesterday and it is just perfect. I would recommend getting this as a gift for a spouse, grandparent etc.

I was going to put mine away for hubby for Christmas, but my children gave it away.

Disclosure: i received a promotional item for doing a past giveaway.
