April Showers Bring Batman Powers Rain Gear

Product description:Warner Bros. Consumer Products and Washington Shoe Company are unleashing the ultimate Bat-gadget this rainy season with a rain collection inspired by Batman. Boys can bring their Batman powers to the streets with a hooded rain slicker with removable cape, Batman boots, and a matching Batman Umbrella.

**** This outfit is so darn cute and it couldn’t have come at a better time, it’s pouring rain and will for the next week.  The rain jacket has attached cape, and the boots both feature Batman characters. The umbrella is very easy to open and there is no middle lock for fingers to get pinched. All my kids were excited to see this outfit. They all tried it on and loved it.  My son immediately wanted to go play in the rain.

 

Retail:$102.95 for the whole collection, available at Nordstrom nationwide and select speciality stores.

Choosing the right toy for your kids

TIA (Toy Industry Association) has launched two helpful websites for consumers.

 www.ToyInfo.org-provides you with all the information you need to choose the right toys for your family. From toy safety facts to free downloadable play guides, this exciting new site is a one-stop resource for caregivers and parents to discover everything about toys and play.

 They features videos, free downloadable play guides, recall and safety information and discussion boards. Plus keep checking back because they will be starting a roundtable discussion with toy exerts +moms.

 www.ToyAwards.org– lists the best toys of the year, as selected by toy industry experts. The site showcases the top toys nominated for the 2010 Toy of the Year Awards (TOTY), recognized as the “Oscars®” of the toy industry. Not only will you discover which toys the experts think are best, but for the first time, kids and parents can register for one (or more) of 12 prize packages, and can also vote for their favorite toys.

This showcases 81 of the top  toys, that have been nominated for the 2010 toy of the year award. The site features free downloadable gift shopping list which parents can use to help choose the most desirable gifts.

These sites are so helpful and informative.  the greatest site i’ve seen in a while for helping to choose gifts.  I have so much trouble choosing gifts, since my kids are so young. I usually choose toys that are not in their age group. Now I have help for choosing the safest, but fun toy. I will definitly be using these sites to help with my christmas shopping this year.

Thanks to Team Mom for bringing these sites to my attention.

Consumer Reports: Best Baby Products Giveaway(closed)

15278_15283_15279_15280L

Breast feeding is best for your baby, but it’s not always possible and mothers need to substitute formula.  Formula can be very expensive and it’s important for moms to get the best value for their dollar. 

According to the 10th edition Consumer Reports Best Baby Products, Store Brand formula is just as nutritious for babies as nationally advertised brands.

When my kids were baby’s I depended on WIC to help me with formula costs, But WIC is now cutting down and trying to promote breastfeeding, so more people will now have to pay for their formula.

To help you out Consumer Reports and Team Mom are offering my readers formula discount coupons,click the link to get them.

 one of you will win The Consumer Reports Best Baby Products(368 pages), For you to find the Best baby products.

To enter: Leave me a comment telling me if you breastfed your baby or had to use formula.

Looney tunes eating right with kids

182805a474_Eating_Right_Kids_LogoAs a mom I always try to make sure my kids eat healthy.  With school starting that becomes even harder. I know growing up my parents always gave me money for lunch, i hated cafeteria food, so I would eat at the snack bar. I don’t want my kids to eat that way daily. So I am taking time every morning to pack their lunches.

Even better Safeway has teamed up with Warner Bros. Luney Tunes to create Eating Right Kids. With meals, snacks, cereals and drinks that kids will love- and parents will feel good about.

Thanks to team mom for this opportunity

delgo movie review

i was so excited to be given the oppertunity to review a trailer of the new movie delgo. i really like animated movies and the messages behind them.

delgo is family friendly, and has everything you need in a movie to get your kids excited about seeing it.  a mystic land, a princess, a unlikely hero, action and adventure.

my fav. the message behind this movie is acceptance between different cultures.

the story of delgo takes place in the magical land of Jhamora wich is divided between two cultures. The Nohrin,winged masters of the skies, and the lockini, the terrestrial tribe who harness the mystical powers of the land. when delgo, a reckless lockini teenager forms a forbidden friendship with the spunky nohrin princess kyla hostilities between the two peoples esculate.  Setting the stage for an exiled empress to exact her revenge and reclaim her rule.

falsely imprisioned, and his best friend filomust put aside their differences to join forces with a sworn enemy, bogardus and travel to the mysterious land of perran to rescue princess kyla. here they encounter fanciful creatures and discover more than just a kidnapped princess, they learn the value of different cultures and the importance of working together.

the voice casting has some of the wonderful actors. like freddie prince jr., jennifer love Hewitt, Anne Bancroft, Chris Kattan, Val Kilmer, Kelly Ripa, Burt Reynolds,  Lou Gossett Jr. and Michael Clark Duncan.
