From manufacturer: Barbie and Ken have been sweethearts forever. This gift set celebrates their romance in the movie, Toy Story 3. Includes special kissing feature by pressing Barbie dolls back and shes ready to pucker up and give Ken a kiss. Also includes lipstick to leave a lasting impression.

****This Barbie and Ken set is so fun according to my daughters. Although we haven’t seen Toy Story we’ve seen clips and trailers, Barbie and Ken are so funny. It’s the perfect toy for any girl. My daughter loves that Barbie can kiss Ken and it even leaves a kiss mark on his cheek.  Barbie even comes with a gym bag and towel.

Holiday Gift Guide 2010: Play doh Cake Making Station

- brandy3 2 Comments

The fun really starts to stack up as you create layer after layer of fun and fabulous Play-Doh modeling compound “cake” creations. Use the molds to create layers for your pretend “cakes” and then load up your cake makin station tool to add all kinds of amazing decorations on top. Use your “frosting” tool to add “frosting” to the top of each “cake”. When you’re done with your “bakery” masterpiece, set it on the plate accessory to “serve” to your friends so you can celebrate.

****My Kids love Play Doh, I hate the mess they make but it fun and helps them learn how to sculpt and be creative.   My daughter made me a Play Doh cake for my birthday and it was so adorable. I always let someone borrow my camera when there is cute moments, dang.  The one thing I hate about this set is the Play Doh got mixed up, and to me it ruins the Play Doh. My kids didn’t mind though, they were having so much fun, they cried when I had to put it away.

This would be a great addition to any childs Christmas list.

A Little More about Me

- brandy3 1 Comment

I don’t write to much about myself, I am not really sure why but today I will

My name is Brandy Walleshauser

Favorite color is Purple and Black, even though i consider black a shade.

Favorite Movie: The Nightmare Before Christmas is My favorite, but I love anything by Tim Burton.

Favorite Holiday: Holloween

What were you like as a teen: I was a loaner in high school, and was bullied because I wore black all the time (kind of gothic) and was low income.

What are you like now: I am still kind of a loaner I don’t have to many friends, but have faded away from the whole black everything phase. Now that I am a mom my life is revolved around my kids.

What did you want to be: I wanted to be a mortician, but my feelings on that changed after I started having a family.

did you attend college: No I attended Beauty school for a year, but did not get to finish. I had my first child and my husband was deployed, so i thought it was best to drop out.

 Thats all i can think of right now, as you can tell i don’t get out much.  If you have any questions feel free to ask.

 **** I have had no luck with proactiv so far, It works for the first couple weeks, but I always seem to get huge pimples when I use it.   I stille keep trying Proactiv hoping it will change.  I was able to ry out the Makeup removing cloths and the medicated blemish stick.  The medicated blemish stick I loved. It helped make the red disappear, so my face doesn’t look so blotchy.

There is a lot of controversy on whether or not a flu vaccine actually protects you from the flu. I know when My Children or I get a flu shot we immediately get sick.  Plus I usually end up getting sick even if I have a shot.  I prefer that my kids still get them though, just incase a bad flu breaks out or something like the bird flu.

www.sayboototheflu.com  there you can get Get seasonal flu vaccine information and say “Boo!” to the flu this season. Families Fighting Flu, Visiting Nurse Associations of America and The Clorox Company have teamed up to help you keep your family protected from the flu.

When you visit www.sayboototheflu.com and take the flu prevention pledge, you’ll be entered into a contest to win a rip to your favorite wizard themed amusement park in Orlando Florida. Plus you can enter to win a Say Boo To the Flu prize pack.
