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
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

Disclosure: I was invited to a event to learn how to design with pictures. A gift card was provided for me to try it as well as a giveaway. All opinions are 100% my own.
This Holiday season I will be taking a ton of photos, between Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas etc. With all the pictures I will be taking I want to get them enlarged and framed, or put on canvas.
I have no designing skills at all, so I loved watching Genevieve Gorder show us a easy way to warm up your walls with pictures. How to organize them and make them mesh well together on the wall.
I am not big on hanging pictures on my wall, just because I am renting and don’t like putting holes in the wall. I do have pictures on dressers, entertainment center etc. I love how east it is to set it up that way.
Besides canvas photos, HP also offers photo books and gifts available for pick up at Walmart. I had a photo book made just for my son. He loves seeing old cars and taking pics with them. So I took all those photos and put together a hard cover custom photo book. I even put a Cars 2 custom theme for the book.
I love this book, it actually looks like a real book. the pictures came out so good. My son swooned over this book and has been showing everyone how great it turn out.
I also made a canvas box photo of my husband and I, It was not very good resolution though.
I can’t wait to add to my collection and have tons of pictures all over my house.
One Picture I can’t wait to make
I love this picture, it’s one picture but divded into 3 different panels.
You can make tons of great photo gifts with HP for the holidays.
I have a $50 Walmart gift card to giveaway for you to Warm Up Your Walls.
To enter: Visit Walmart HP Photo and tell me what type of photo product you would get.

Cabbage Patch just celebrated their 30th birthday a few days ago, and my family and I were able to celebrate with the brand.
They had so many Cabbage patch Kids and babies on display. They had Cabbage patch kids from the first year in 1983 through 2013. Every special doll made, and even had a time line made.
One of my favorite dolls displayed was from around the world. Scotland, I really want this doll.
Some of their newest products are amazing, and they want you to treat your Cabbage Patch as if she were real. They have toys, glasses and hair accessories to design your own cabbage patch to look just like you.
They have so many to choose from. At the event the kids got to adopt their very own Cabbage patch kid and learned out to take care of it, from diaper changing, and taking the adoption oath to playing.
I love how far Cabbage Patch Kids have come, I still remember my first one.
You can adopt your own in store or customize your own online. When you adopt online at Cabbage patch Kids, you can choose your own name and add ons like glasses.
Disclosure: The VTech product, information, and additional gift pack have been provided by VTech.
I love when a toy interacts with my child, it makes it so much more fun.
V Tech Switch and Go Dinosaurs are dinosaurs that can turn into race cars. They have a collection of small dinosaurs and then there is Jagger the T-Rex.
Jagger the T-Rex is huge, I was not expecting him to be that big. He is a lot of fun though, as he responds to voice commands, roars, and moves. When you are done playing with the dinosaur switch him around to a construction crane.
You can change his eyes, and change his voice (country voice). It’s really cute!
When you change him to a crane, he lights up and still follows commands.
We received Jagger the T-Rex and a assortment of small dinosaurs. He has not stopped playing with them since they arrived. He loves Dinosaurs and cars, it’s the best of both worlds for him.
I am giving away three small V Tech Switch and Go Dinosaurs to one lucky reader.
This is a sponsored post, written by me for Logic E-Cigs. Product was provided which was then donated to a family member.
When I was first approached to try E-Cigs, I said absolutely no way. I am not a smoker at all. Then when I learned my Mother was trying to quit after almost 40 years, I thought this may help her.
When we received the Logic E-Cigs, there were 4 samples and I was confused as to why. they all had nicotine in them except 1 the Zero. It’s a system though, you start with the E-Cig with most nicotine. Then move down, the nicotine drops 7% then 14% until your on your last one the zero which has absolutely no nicotine.
No the E-Cig is not like one simple cigarette. One E-Cig will last you a while about as long as 2 packs.
***While I don’t smoke, I did pass this on to my Mother and brother. I am so proud that she is quitting after all these years. She said that they E-Cigs don’t really have a great after taste. I would figure that to be expected though because they have no tar and chemicals.
I would recommend these if you are determined to quit, they do help.
This is a sponsored post written on behalf of Zappos.com, products were received.
Zappos.com, your online destination for shoes, clothing, and accessories. They have so many items to choose from, you could end up spending a fortune there. LOL!
**** This necklace is so cute. I love how when you first open it you see the little message for mom. The heart necklace is something to be cherished forever. This was the perfect gift for Mothers Day, I actually sent this to my mom, who loved it and was drawn to tears.
I am giving a necklace away for Mothers day
Just tell me what mom you would give this to?
