Webkinz Jr Plush and Website Review and #giveaway
January 27, 2010 By 121 Comments
The latest rage in the toy making industry seems to be including a website where children can interact on-line with the toy or game. It’s a great idea to have a safe website where children can learn and play. Ganz, the maker of THE SOFTEST plus toys (in my personal opinion), created a line called Webkinz and recently they have branched out to make an even younger line called Webkinz Jr for ages 3 to 6.
It was like they have been reading my blog and my daughter’s obsession with purple because they sent us a pink dog with purple ears. Of course, I’ve decided to donate him to charity. We have too much around here so we’re sending it off to the next lucky charity Mom Start supports.
When you go to create an account with the code your plush comes with, you can create two accounts. You will be creating an adult account and a kids account. What’s nice about this is that you can monitor everything that your child does on-line as well as send your kid a little note or adjust their activity difficulty. The activities range from naming pets, learning math, reading words, drawing pictures to learning simple science facts. Your child also gets to take care of their pet, which matches the plush, on-line (virtually).

The Princess and the Frog Soundtrack #giveaway
January 27, 2010 By 191 Comments
Just hitting shelves is the new album, The Princess and the frog. Walt Disney Studios sent us one of the CD’s to review. All of the Disney Classics have EPIC music in my opinion, and what we get from the Princess and the Frog is not only magical but also historical. There is a bit of New Orleans in the beat. Disney released the musical THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG, an animated comedy set in the great city of New Orleans. From the creators of "The Little Mermaid" and "Aladdin" comes a modern twist on a classic tale, featuring a beautiful girl named Tiana, a frog prince who desperately wants to be human again, and a fateful kiss that leads them both on a hilarious adventure through the mystical bayous of Louisiana. For some reason it took me forever to figure out what this movie was going to be about. I kept thinking that Tiana was a real princess but then the previews didn’t make sense. I can say that I am no longer in the dark.
The CD features Anika Noni Rose(Dreamgirls), Ne-Yo(R&B music star) and Academy Award® winning composer Randy Newman. Randy Newman did Cars, Toy Story, 1, 2, and 3 (will be out in June), A Bug’s life, and Monsters, Inc. Just a little perspective on his talent. The inspiration for The Princess and the Frog is that it is set in the great city of New Orleans, having all the sounds of Jazz, Zydeco, Blues, Gospel. All are present for an unforgettable musical experience the entire family will enjoy.
My husband liked it but not enough to add it to our weekend playlist. I do however, think that I will add it to my playlist that I play for the kids during the week. The music provides culture and I love Jazz and classical music. I find the last song to be classic, but can you expect anything less for the newest Princess in the Disney Princess Lineup?
We also have one to giveaway!

Caress Evenly Gorgeous Exfoliating Body Wash and Beauty Bar #giveaway
January 27, 2010 By 184 Comments
I love taking baths. That is how I treat myself from time to time. So, when I’m in the bath tub I really like to treat myself with fabulous scents, moisturizers, and exfoliates. One of my newest favorites is the Caress Evenly Gorgeous Exfoliating Body Wash. I’ve been using it for about two or three months and I love the way it feels as I rub it across my skin. Caress sent me some as part of a campaign I did with them a few months ago, and then I just recently received another one plus the Beauty Bar set. I’m not a big fan of bar soap only because it’s hard to keep it in the shower, but in the bath tub you just need a little bath bar tub to keep it in and then it’s great to use bar soap. In contrast to me, my dad will only use bar soap. He thinks liquid soaps are too extravagant. Such a man’s opinion if you ask me. 
My husband though, he was using this body wash more than me for a while. I think he really liked it, it just turned out to be a little too feminine for him. I have to switch between nice and something for my itchy skin. Otherwise I would use this all the time, for every shower and every bath.
Caress Evenly Gorgeous body wash and beauty barwith burnt sugar and karate butter to help moisturize, gently exfoliate and reveal even-toned, radiant and silky skin. Caress® makes skin the ultimate fashion statement with the introduction of the Caress Skinwear Collection®. Caress gives you gorgeous skin – right out of the shower – that you will want to flaunt just like the season’s hottest styles. Now you can shower on your look with Caress body washes and beauty bars for even toned, radiant or silky skin … and have the confidence to show it off!
1 winner will be chosen for a set of Caress Beauty Bars

Family Party 30 Great Games Winter Fun Video Game for the Wii #giveaway
January 26, 2010 By 820 Comments
D3 is about to release a brand new game, the newest installment of Family Party, 30 Great Games Winter Fun. It is exclusive to the Wii. I’ve played the Family Party: 30 Games Outdoor Fun game and it’s a great way to play a set of games as a family. I have never played this one but it looks great.
Avoid the cold and ski lift lines with Family Party: 30 Great Games Winter Fun from D3Publisher coming exclusively to Wii™ this February. Players do not have to be professional athletes to be the best in this game as Winter Fun offers a wide blend of winter themed activities featuring winter sports competitions, playground snow activities, and new brain freezing challenges. Family Party: 30 Great Games Winter Fun is under development by Tamsoft Corporation and is rated “E” for everyone by the ESRB.
About Family Party: 30 Great Games Winter Fun
Winter Fun will have your family playing together for hours on the Wii. Players can choose from over a dozen cute characters that are dressed in customizable winter attire. What’s great is that all four family members can play at one time. My husband wanted to stop at two kids because that makes a a family of four and there are only four controllers to each console, so now you know my family secret. Available for play is multiplayer co-op, for the first time ever in this franchise. Players will be inspired by the winter games, and all your favorites should be included. You can unlock even more games and challenges to continue achieving high scores and winning medals.
D3 Publisher has generously offered me 5 copies to offer as a giveaway to 5 different readers.

Random Tuesday What to do today, and what do you think of my new hair style?
January 26, 2010 By 16 Comments
I’m wondering if I should keep the kids home today because they are starting to get sick. It’s usually when kids are starting to get sick is when they are contagious so I’m wondering about getting a whole facility of kids full of sick today or not. We usually go to the Kirkland Community Center with our other friends on Tuesdays but I’m just not sure they can handle it today.
I’m going to be taking a nap as soon as the kids are done with breakfast and I need to take a shower. I’m yucky this morning. My hair is different.
On Saturday I spent the day getting my hair done. I cut it short and got some highlights and lowlights. I had blond and red put in my hair. The blond matches my daughter and the red matches my son. He has the brightest red hair I have ever seen. It’s beautiful.
Here is a picture of mine, what do you think?
Staying home brings up the question of what will I do instead? Play outside in the rain, or hopefully it will be sunny, and get some exercise. I’m in love with my Wii right now because it says I’m down to my pre-pregnancy weight and that I lost 3 lbs last week. It’s not possible that I lost that much weight, so I think it’s broken just a bit, scales are so inaccurate. Depends on water, clothing, and the amount of cookies currently in my tummy. I better at least get some exercise in.
I’m still waiting on my package for Blissdom, I’m very excited to be going on a trip. I’m a little nervous because of traveling with my kids. I’m taking them to Texas for free baby sitting and then driving with my best friend in the whole world to Blissdom. So my trip is going to be excellent in so many ways.
Oh and I need tips on how to get sponsorship to BlogHer2010. I purchased my tickets so now I need help paying for plane tickets and hotel. Anyone want to be my sponsor or give me tips?
