Share a smile with Build A Bear

- brandy3

When I was a little girl I had a stuffed animal that I loved, it wasn’t a teddy bear but more of a bunny. It was my mothers and she handed it down to me, I called it nitey nite and it glowed in the dark. I slept with it every night until I was 19 (seriously). After I had kids I handed it down to my daughter, he loves it.

Just thinking about how a stuffed aimal or bear can make a child feel so special is a great feeling and that is why I love Build A Bear. Right now there is so much going on in the world that every child needs a smile and you can share your smile at www.LoveHugsSmile.com

Build a bear sent me 2 bears one to keep so my kids will smile and another to make someone else smile.  I chose to send the other in the mail to family. I haven’t seen my niece in 6 years and decided that sending her a bear would be a smile for both of us, since I haven’t seen her in forever.

I just sent it, so I am still waiting for pics to come back with her holding it. I will update when I have them.

How many different kinds of “pizza” will your pizzeria serve up?

***My kids were so excited to be able to play with this set and immediately started taking my order. First I wanted to show them how to use it, so I made a pizza with pepperoni and broccoli.

It is very easy to set and simple to use. You put the Play-Doh on the plate and put it in the “oven” with flattens it to a crust like shape. The place it under the cheese grater for cheese topping. The shape and add any additional toppings you would like.  It even comes with a cute little pizza cutter.

Barbie Princess Charm School Review and giveawayClosed

- brandy3 42 Comments

Blair Willow, played by Barbie, is an ordinary girl from Gardania who is chosen to attend Princess Charm School to learn princess training. In the school, she makes friends with Hadley and Isla. Dame Devin, one of the teachers, does not like Blair because she looks like the missing Princess Sophia. Dame Devin wants her own daughter, Delancy, to be the royal heir.   Blair and her friends must get the enchanted crown to prove that Blair is the real princess.

**** Barbie movies just get better and better! My kids and I loved this movie, yes that right I am almost 27 and I enjoyed a Barbie movie. LOL!  Blair is taking care of her family when a great opportunity arrises to attend Princess Charm school. While she is there she learns of secrets of the Royal family, the queen and her family were in a car crash but not everyone died (Princess Sophia was abandoned on a doorstep).  While searching the castle they discover a portrait of Blair, but they discover it is actually queen Isabella at ahe 18. They look so much alike! With the help of her friends and even someone who doesn’t really like her. They find the magic crown and learn Blair is the true princess.

This movie is a little like Barbie and the Island Princess, a little of the same plot. It was still good, my daughter had mentioned that it’s not as funny as the other Barbie movies.

We also received two dolls from the new movie. Blair doll does three outfit changes, you can clip on her school top, make her dress short for a party dress, then turn her dress into a ball gown.

The Delancy doll Features a beautiful purple gown with matching purse, neckalace and Tiara.

(Just a note Thats a ring pop in my sons mouth, not a paci.)

My girls loved the dolls, these were the only pictures I could get before they hid from me.

I have 1 Barbie Princess Charm school dvd and doll to giveaway to one US reader

Aquadoodle Floor Mat and Penguin

- brandy3 2 Comments

Creativity has never been this clean! Kids everywhere are having mess free fun because of Aquadoodle! The no mess, chemical free drawing toy that never runs out! Just add water and doodle over and over again. Watch the designs disappear in minutes for a clean doodle surface.

New for Fall, kids have an all new way to express their creativity- with color! With 4 new exciting colors to choose from you can Aquadoodle in red, blue, green and purple. With all new fabric boards for soft play, you can let your child’s imagination run free with the never ending, no mess Aquadoodle!

Choose a bear, dog or penguin and bring these lovable characters to life. Just add water and doodle over and over again, as the colorful designs disappear in minutes for a clean doodle surface. Aquadoodle is a mess free, creative and fun experience for your pre-schooler!

****Both of these Aquadoodle products are so much fun. My kids love to draw, but they waste so much paper and I run out of places to put their drawings. The Aquadoodle classic mat and penguin were the perfect solution, my kids can draw and draw. No wasting paper, no mess and they have so much fun doing it. The Aquadoodle mat has been out for a while, but this new mat lets you draw in 4 different colors, Blue, purple, green, and red. You can only have that color in a certain square though, the mat is dived up by 4 colors, where the purple border is you can color purple etc.    My daughter loves the doodle buddy (Penguin), she cuddles up with it at night and draws on it during the day. The only downside with the doodle buddies, is when you draw, it doesn’t dry very well. There is still a faint picture.

Retail: Mat is $21.99 and Doodle buddy is $9.99

Available in August 2011, visit www.aquadoodle.com for more information..

Get Outdoors and Explore with Backyard Safari

- brandy3 1 Comment

The Expedition Three kit features the Backyard Safari Base Camp Field Shelter.  It features storage spaces for all your Essential Field Gears. Over 40 inches tall, it’s large enough for several backyard safari kids to set up their own instant base camp in the field, all year round.
We were able to have some fun outdoor (pretend)  camping and hiking fun. We received a base tent with lantern, a camoflauge net, walking stick and magnifying glass. My kids were so excited to get these. They immediately got a pad of paper out and started their field journals. They used the magnifying glass to spot small insects, and would hide in the tent to wait for squirels. The walking stick is great for hiking around but it’s a little big for them to use. They actually try to use it more for a hitting stick than walking stick.  Everything is very durable, and the tent is also waterproof, it seems to rain whenever I set it up.
Visit http://www.backyardsafari.com/ to find your fun gear.
Base Tent is available through Amazon for $39.99
