Plasma Car gets my kids up and exercising review

The Plasma Car sent me a car to review and they asked that I don’t post any pictures of my kids using it. The reason being, my kids don’t fit the regulated safety guides and they don’t want to endorse using the plasma car unsafely.

plasma-car_MED I’m glad they have that restriction and at the same time, I want to show you how much fun my kids are having on it. My daughter is two and she loves it. She’s been going up and down the hallway and my 1 year old sometimes pushes her. It’s so cute to see them play on it together.

My son uses it in all the dangerous ways that the Plasma Car doesn’t want me to show you. He’s one and he knows that he can climb on it to climb on other things. He pushes it to the wall and he’ll stand on it. I’ve seen him use it like a scooter. I look at him and sometimes I wonder, how old are you really? He once sat on it correctly and was only able to go backwards and decided that scooter mode was much better.

This toy is made for the energetic child like my son. He has so much energy and creativity and he seems to use both on the Plasma Car. My daughter loves it to and it just excites me to see her playing. It excites me to see both of them playing.

The assembly is a little complicated. Well, only the very last step is complicated. You have to get the last step exactly right and it has to be tight enough otherwise the car doesn’t work. The car works by steering the wheel back and fourth. This motion moves the wheels back and fourth and this creates forwards or backwards motion depending on if the larger wheels are on the front or back. This is why it’s great for kids, all the motion is created by them. I love it. You can purchase one at Amazon.

Mom Works T-Shirt wear motherhood proudly #Giveaway


About Mom Works:

Jacqueline Goff is the mother of two young children who inspired Mom Works, Inc. With much inspiration (and perspiration) from her three year-old son, she realized that there was a strong parallel between motherhood and managing a business. I couldn’t agree with her more.

Moms take different paths during the day and have different management styles, but all Moms share one of the most important jobs in the world – raising great people. Mom Works sets out to congratulate all Mothers for their efforts made towards building and managing strong organization, while at the same time striving to fulfill their own personal goals.

Mom Works offers a message about practicing love, humor and optimism in an effort to lighten our work load, if only for a moment. Perhaps in doing so, we can achieve greater patience, compassion and harmony with the hope of strengthening our bonds within our family. As a Mom I am excited to celebrate family and community organizations.

 

My Opinion:

I was able to pick the shirt I wanted and I picked the pink one with Job Security as the design. I love it because being a stay at home mom I’ll never lose my job.

The shirt has washed well, it shrank just a tiny bit but that’s ok. The only thing I didn’t like was that it wasn’t long, It was a regular shirt length, but it still had some form to it so that was really nice. The cotton is soft and feels very thing but it’s not so thin that it is see through. I like wearing it and I’ll wear it with pride.

To Enter to win one t-shirt:

Visit Mom Works and tell me which shirt design you like and the size you would wear.

How do you feel when your child says “Grandma Says I Can”

Line of Moms

I’m not at this stage yet but I’m going to be spending some time with my parents this year and my kids will be with me. I know that they are going to spoil them. I mean, I already got this letter from them,

“I went by Greg and Carol’s and she let me "help myself" to just a small FRACTION of Kyle and LauraLee’s toys… I got 11 sets of toys including 5 sets (BIG sets) of legos– animals, people, houses, cars  you name it.  I also got a tool set and some Dinasours for Miles– a little doll house with people for Zoe.  I also picked up a stroller (play) for Zoe.  So I think with Tess’s books and stuffed animals, some colors and coloring book– we are almost ready!
All of this stuff from Carol is in perfect condition– one of the boxes of legos wasn’t even open.  I washed the rest of the stuff (it’s been in storage) and have it all in the living room upstairs where they will probably play most of the time.
Hopefully all is going well up there…I’ll get some more stuff from Rita and Zenie this weekend.
We are looking forward to you guys coming!
Teresa”

They are going to feel right at home because we have tons of legos but while I’m there I still want some of the rules enforced. You know what I mean? Like I don’t want them eating cookies for an entire month and I want bed time enforced. Hmmm

Happy Green Bee Review

zoeandmilesgreenbee zoegreenbee

 

 

 

 

My very fashionable children have been sporting Happy Green Bee for months now. When I went to the Green Festival in Seattle we purchased clothing from the Happy Green Bee booth. I highly recommend purchasing from them, especially if you find them at a local green festival. Why, because they have special event pricing and it’s AMAZING.

There is hardly any shrinkage which is surprising. Most clothing shrinks and shrinks every time you wash it. I didn’t notice any shrinkage. The only thing I noticed was a little fading and I think it was the cheap laundry detergent I was using at the time. I can’t say for sure.

Our colorful all-natural cotton organic baby clothes and organic infant clothing is safe, sustainable, soft, stretchy, simply sensational styles! For Organic Kids Clothing Visit The Happygreenbee.com Homepage.

 

Recently they sent us some more clothing for review. They sent us a dress for my daughter. It’s the yellow and brown design that matches the shirt you see above. However, we don’t have pictures of her in the dress because it is long sleeved and it’s been super hot here. Their clothing is made of organic cotton and it’s pretty cool, but still it’s long sleeved. Their clothing runs large and is very soft.

Also, while I was at the Seattle Green Festival I asked them some questions. One was why do you work with mom bloggers?

They don’t spend much money on marketing. It’s all on Mom Blogs and at Green Festivals. They make their money off of our advertising and love working with us. So we thank you Happy Green Bee!

    This is a great idea. Walgreen’s are all over my town, so even if they have only a few of these clinics, one should be conveniently close by. It makes much more snese than paying a premium when something isn’t serious or deadly, but nevertheless needs a prescription or the care of a professiona

  • Imagination Movers For Those about to Hop CD #giveaway

    imaginationmovers

    The final CD of the night of CD Giveaways is Imagination Movers new CD For Those About To Hop.

    From a fuzzy mom’s memory:

    Smitty My Friend He’s Playing his Guitar

    Scott’s got his goggle to help him see far

    Dave’s over there underneath the red hat

    and My name is Rich I go rat a tat tat.

    image My Daughter calls them the Jump Music. We love Imagination Movers and have loved them even before they had a TV show on the Disney Channel. We loved them before Disney Records sent us their new CD to preview and giveaway to two lucky readers of Mom Start. We already have their Juice Box Heroes CD.

    We love them as a family because they are about moving. We all like to dance in the living room to this music and it inspires us old people to be silly. I mean, Andrew and I aren’t old we know that, we’re probably around the same age as these guys in the band. It’s just odd to think of that. I still feel like I’m too young to be a mother let alone a mother of two.

    I’m not quite sure if my husband thinks it’s car music or not but it is get up off your butt early morning music for mom and the kids. This is a band we can love and we will always purchase their CD’s. My husband wants to take the kids to Disneyworld next time they are on tour there.

    Imagination Movers: For Those About to Hop

     

    About Imagination Movers:

    The Movers – Rich, Scott, Dave and Smitty — began in New Orleans in 2003 and now are fast-rising stars on the national kids music scene thanks to their combination of radio-friendly songs, kid-friendly themes and dynamic live shows. In concert, the Movers teach high-energy dances, play games with the audience and make music on their one-of-a-kind trashcan drumset. Kids and parents help perform new kids classics like “Shakable You,” “The Medicine Song,” “What’s in the Fridge?” and “I Want My Mommy (Time for Bed).”

    Christian Artist Christy Nockels CD #giveaway

    christynockles It’s CD giveaway day here on Mom Start. I’m so excited to bring you another artist and this time it’s a Christian Artist. I have been so blessed by God lately and I haven’t been giving him credit on my blog. Shame on me. I know that He is responsible for all of the success and opportunities that have been falling in my lap left and right. God, I can’t thank you enough!! You are amazing and have blessed me with two amazing children and an adoring husband who supports all I do.

     

    Life Light Up

     

    I was very excited to put in Christy Nockels’ New CD Life Light Up.  and it uplifted me the whole day. Her music is upbeat and exciting. I found myself singing to it before the day was over. I really like to get familiar with music and listen to it over and over again and this was easy to do so with. I can’t pick a favorite one either, I loved the whole CD.

    About Christy Nockels

    Christy Nockels was born in Ft. Worth, TX as a seminary baby. She grew up in Oklahoma as the daughter of a pastor and a piano teacher, which infused her heart early with a love for both music and God’s word. Christy has been married since 1993 and her husband went to Oklahoma Baptist University, just like I did. I knew her name sounded familiar. She was discovered in 1997 and began her career.

    Michael Buble meets madison square garden CD/DVD #giveaway

    Michael Buble_Cover Heaven, I’m in heaven, lala la la la la. Oh now this gets me going. I was offered the chance to review Micheal Buble’s new CD/DVD and I love it. I’m in heaven with this music, it’s all about me. I just love to have the swing/jazz/ sway. I want to get up and dance and get in my very own groove. Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong era, but then I’m reminded I’m not the only one that feels that way. Otherwise, why would anyone sing to me like that. Ok, so I live in an imaginary world but I do love this music that takes me to a happy place.
