Amusement Fun with Pop On Pals

- brandy3

Pop On Pals is a whole new world of popabilities from Spin Master. With endless mix and match fun, your little ones can be anything they want to be. Pop On Pals encourage imaginative play and help develop fine motor skills.

features:

  • ages 2-4
  • playsets include vehicles, pets,  and more.
  • available at Toys R Us, Target, Kmart, Sears and more

****The minute I received this all 3 of my children fought over this. Finally they agreed to place nicely together, but they had a lot of fun playing with this. My only complaint is that the playset only comes with one pal, which isn’t enough for three kids.   My kids are really excited about roller coasters now though and can’t wait until they are old enough to go to the Amusement park.   This is a great toy for little ones.

Retail:$34.99

Henson’s Place DVD Review

- brandy3

Product Description:  Take a peek behind the curtain with HENSON’S PLACE, the original documentary about Jim Henson, the creative visionary that brought us the enchantment of “The Muppet Show,” THE DARK CRYSTAL and more! From honing his skills as a puppeteer in college to creating some of the world’s most beloved characters in the last 30 years, see the imaginative genius like never before. Enjoy interviews with Henson, his wife Jane, long-time puppeteer partner Frank Oz and others, as they share memories of the legendary “Muppet Show,” “Sesame Street,” and “Fraggle Rock,” with a behind-the-scenes look inside the revolutionary Henson Workshop. Experience Henson’s desires to not only create new worlds, but also to celebrate the child inside all of us!

****This dvd was really cool, it’s all about Jim Henson the creator of all things muppet. His vision, and how he came up with all these creative ideas. This was very interesting to watch, I grew up with Fraggle Rock, Muppets and muppet Babies, so showing my kids how it was all done and the different muppets really excited them.

Perfect Shower with WaterPik

- brandy3

Waterpik shower heads are designed and engineered to combine unsurpassed performance with fresh styles and designs that make an impressive addition to any bathroom. Their exclusive Optiflow shower head technology increases water force up to 30% by optimizing water flow. They invented the first massaging shower head years ago, and continue to build upon tradition of innovation today

****This showerhead is amazing. My old showerhead shot water in every single direction and didn’t have any massage settings. With the waterpik, all the water flows directly down from the showerhead, so all the water is on you. It has several different water speeds, including massage and mist. The thing I really like is the shower head is also a handle that you can take down. It is so much easier to wash my childrens hair when I am in control of the showerhead.

Have Some Lemonade with Country Time giveawayCLOSED

- brandy3 69 Comments

From Site: What better way to enjoy the summer than with a tall, refreshing glass of Country Time Lemonade. The taste that’s not too tart and not too sweet. Why not mix up an icy, cold pitcher, sit back and drink it all in. Summer’s just not summer without Country Time.

Country time has two lemonade flavors, regular lemonade and pink lemonade. Both are refreshing and have 40% less sugar than leading soda brands.

****We make a lot of kool-aid in our house, so i thought that this was going to be exacyly like that. I was wrong making the lemonade was so much easier. No need for measuring cups and worrying about sugar. the country ime cannister has a measuring cup in the cap.  All you do is fill a pitcher with cold water measure the lemonade mix in cap, pour stir and your done. It’s very delicous too, my kids can’t get enough of it.  It’s a great summer treat.

Country Time has also been a big part of Alex’s lemonade Stand. Helping fight childhood cancer one cup at a time.  For more information please visit Country Time Website

- brandy3 1 Comment

Zebra Pen Corporation offers an extensive line of writing instruments including ball point pens, highlighters, mechanical pencils, gel rollers, rollerballs and correction pens. They guarantee quality, satisfaction and an ultimate writing performance.

i received

  • Z Grip Daises rectractable ball point pen assorted 5 pack
  • Cadoozles .7mm mechanical pencil 10 pack
  • Regal Roller micro point roller ball pen assorted 4 pack
  • Regal Roller arrow point roller ball pen assorted 4 pack

****I really like roller pens, they work so much better than the little cheap pens I always buy. These pens are great for back to school they don’t run out of ink fast and are easy to grip. The mechanical pencils are great for grade school, and the design is so cute. My daughter was so thrilled to be able to use them. I really like the designs and the fact that it really doesn’t even look like a mechanical pencil. Never need to sharpen another pencil again.

Back to School with HP and Snapfish

- brandy3 1 Comment

People are shopping for back to school earlier this year. For me I usually wait until August when school supplies are really cheap, or tax free weekend. The hot items listed this year for back toh school are Digital cameras and Smart phones.

To me a big item would be a printer thst does it all. I want to be able to print from my laptop(which is usually not anywhere near my office), make creative projects, and also be kid friendly.

The HP Photosmart e-All-In-One, your kids be able to print out all of their homework assignments and photos for show and tell, but they can also access new print apps including Crayola for coloring pages, PBS Kids for literacy, math and science activities or Disney for fun and educational after-school activities including coloring pages, games and crafts. Starting at just $99, e-All-in-Ones are also equipped with ePrint, a unique simple email address assigned to the printer that allows the sender to deliver a print the same way they would send an email message.

Another great back to school must have is Snapfish. This would be great for the office or maybe someoone going to college. Personalize your own mousepad, notebook sleeve , or desktop organizer. 

I think this is a great way to personalize a gift for the going away to college, so they have a picture to look at everyday while they are working!

Mealtime will be so much fun with the new stylish mOmma line of feeding products for infanta and toddlers. mOmma’s ergonomic design features a distinctive roly-poly shape that allows the products to rock back and forth when uncovered, keeping kids entertained and eliminating spills at the same time.

****These are so cute and fun. My son is a little old for the sippy cups but he still enjoyed them, and I didn’t have to worry about any mess. the plate really keeps the food warm and is surprising big, most toddler plates are tiny.  These are really great products, but I would say that they are more for infants then tots.
