Keep Your Child's Eyes Safe with Real Kids Shades~Review, Coupon and $250 GC Giveaway!

Everyone on my husband's side of the family has really bad eyes.  I am so worried about my daughter's eyes and try to do everything I can to protect them.  She really likes wearing sunglasses but as soon as I turn my back she takes them off.  We drive to my mother's house every six weeks or so and it takes over two hours.  There is no way that I could reach back and find her sunglasses every time she takes them during the trip.  Then I heard that I was going to be able to try a new kind of sunglasses for kids called Real Kids Shades.  

About Real Kids Shades:

"Real Kids Shades are specifically constructed to fit kids’ faces and their lifestyles. Our My First Shades line was designed with the help of a pediatric ophthalmologist for optimal fit, comfort and safety. All our sunglasses are made exclusively for infants and children in kid-approved styles that are shatterproof, impact-resistant and adaptable to sports and active lifestyles. 

Kids need to be active, outdoors and in their sunglasses. Made to be worn year-round, our banded frames fit just as well under ski helmets as they do bike helmets. Our patented neoprene bands with Velcro® adjustable closures keep them secure and in place on the court or in the yard. And they’re tough. Real Kids Shades are made to be outgrown before worn out."

 My daughter received the My First Shades in Pink Daisy.  My daughter wears these everywhere!  She is wearing them as I type.  

She loves them!

Wearing them around the house

Back of the sunglasses

I really like that they are not toys but actual functioning sunglasses.  They provide 100% UV protection (both UVA & UVB) and are shatter proof.  Anyone with a toddler understands how important it is to buy products that can take a beating.  These sunglasses will last a really long time.  The strap on the side is easy to adjust but still manages to hold the glasses on her face.  I plan on keeping her pair in the car for those long car rides.  My favorite thing about her new shades is that she likes them! They seem like they are really comfortable on her and she really enjoys wearing them.

Wholesale Halloween Costumes~Review

It's that time of year again! Time to start decorating for Halloween and looking for costumes.  I have always loved Halloween but I really get into it now that I have a daughter.  Last year, my daughter insisted on being Minnie Mouse.  Only problem?  I could not find a costume in her size anywhere!  I ended up driving an hour to a toy store after I called every store near us.  I knew that this year I was going order her costume online.  

WholesaleHalloweenCostumes.com has a huge selection of Halloween costumes for all ages.  I had such a hard time deciding on what costume to get my daughter. She sat on my lap and after a long chat, she chose the Little Red Riding Hood costume.  I think she chose it because her MeMaw calls her Little Red.  

The costume was really cute!  It was a little wrinkled but that is because she made me put it on her as soon as I got it came in the mail.  It was easy to get on and off, which is key with a newly potty trained child.  Last year, she complained the whole time we were trick or treating that her costume was itchy.  This one didn't seem to bother her at all.  My only issue was the size.  It said it would fit most 2t-4t girls.  My daughter is only 2t but it seemed too short.  She would definitely have to wear something under it.  Overall, it is a great pick for Halloween!  We even liked it so much that we bought a Tinkerbell costume for her too.

I was not financially compensated for this post. I received a sample for review purposes. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience.

Giant Microbes~Review

My daughter is obsessed with germs lately.  Even since she saw the episode about them on Yo Gabba Gabba, I cannot get her to stop worrying about it.  So when I first saw Giant Microbes I thought that it may help her understand.  Giant Microbes are plush giant sized germs, cells and more!  My daughter and I sat down in front of the computer and looked through their online store.  We talked all about germs but she ended up choosing the Krill.

She insists on calling it her Shrimp.  But I think that it did help her understand that there are really small things everywhere we cannot see.  I think that these would be great for teaching in everywhere from preschool to high school biology class.  They come in Critters, Diseases, Aquatics, and more.

Roaring Springs Paper Company~Review

My husband uses a ton of paper for work. I tried to get him to type everything on his computer but he thinks it's rude to be typing in a meeting(I agree).  We had talked about getting him some recycled paper but they only kind I knew of was from my school days.  Anyone else remember that weird, gray, flimsy paper from middle school?  It was so dark that it made it hard to see pencil on it.  When I received products from Roaring Springs Paper Company, I was surprised how different it was to the "normal" paper!

What makes Roaring Springs Paper Company different than other paper companies?:

"Roaring Spring supplies products produced with different sustainable papers. These included recycled papers, sugarcane fiber paper, and poo papers. 

Recycled Papers: Roaring Spring uses papers made from post-consumer waste.  Post-consumer waste, if not recycled, would typically end in a landfill.  Most of the Roaring Spring recycled items contain a minimum of 30% PC waste.  Recycled paper comes in both white and colored versions. 

Sugarcane Fiber Paper: Sugarcane fiber is waste material from the sugarcane refining process.  This waste material is then used as pulp tp produce fine paper.  The result is a smooth, bright sheet produced at very green paper mills.  We produce sugarcane items in both white and canary options. 

Poo Paper: Poo paper is the ultimate recycled product!  Poo paper uses the fiber that is recovered from actual animal poo.  Odorless and clean, we carry poo paper from elephants, cows, horses and donkey."

I received:

~Three Genesis Notebooks
~Two Landscape Wide Pads
~Three Smaller Colored Landscape Wide Pads

The notebooks would be great for any school work. It has both pockets and dividers to help keep you organized.  The come in one, three and five subjects so you can buy just what you need!  The wide landscape pads were my favorite.  I am always writing my grocery list on little slips on paper that quickly become unreadable.  The wide pads are perfect!  They are large enough for me to even separtate my list into sections(dairy, meat, household, etc.).  There is even enough room to write down which coupons I have.  The smaller landscape pads were great for card night at our house.  My husband and I just started playing Gin again and this is perfect for keeping score for multiple games.  My husband has already took half of everything to work.  I love that he can use as mcuh paper as he needs without doing much damage to the enviroment.

Little Cosmetics Pretend Makeup~Review and Giveaway

Over the last month, my two and a half year old has been driving me crazy about make-up.  I started looking everywhere for makeup for toddlers.  The only thing I found was little lip glosses that my daughter promptly got all over the place.  When I saw Little Cosmetics I knew I found the answer!

About Little Cosmetics:

"Little Cosmetics is pretend makeup that doesn't look pretend! It looks just like real makeup and is perfect for toddlers and little girls. Little Cosmetics looks very realistic, but it doesn't show up on skin. Pretend play at its best - all the imagination and no mess! 

Little Cosmetics is the perfect solution for the little girl that always wants to use mom’s make-up, but won’t be fooled by fake plastic make-up. And the perfect choice for mom’s that want to keep their little girls mess-free."

I was able to try The Essential Set.  It includes:

~One Pressed Powder Compact
~One Iridescent Lip Gloss
~One Pink Blush Compact
~One Glitter Shadow Pot
~One Eye Shadow Palette
~Makeup Brush Set
~One Pink Organza Carrying Bag

This is honestly one of the best toys I have ever gave my daughter!  She plays with it every single day.  I was expecting it to be plastic but all the "makeup" was really soft and lifelike.  The lip gloss has a real working ball roller to it feels like you are really putting some on.  Everyone is our family has got their makeup done by my daughter, even the poor dogs!  My favorite part was that there is no mess!  She can do her makeup over and over again without me having to use a bunch of baby wipes.  The brush set was much better quality than I expected too.  They can withstand a lot of rough play.  The compact comes in three colors so you can choice the one that matches your child's skin tone. I would recommend Little Cosmetics to anyone who knows a little girl!

Playing with her compact

Eye shadow goes on your cheeks, right?

The makeup kits come in three different sizes and would be an excellent gift!

Childrens Drawing DVD

In July 2012, Steps4Kids released its Steps4Kids to Draw DVD with approximately 90 minutes of video modeling to help emerging artists learn how to draw shapes, animals, people and things.    For children learning to draw shapes, the "Shapes" section shows how to draw a circle, square, triangle, rhombus/diamond, heart, cube and star.  Each shape uses colored graphics to help children learn to identify the shapes as well!  

For more advanced artists, the Steps4Kids drawing DVD shows how to draw animals that you may find on a farm, in the house, in the water or at the zoo! (20 total)  The "People" track shows how to draw 5 faces, introduces "profiles" and demonstrates how to draw basic clothing.  The "Things" track shows how to draw a bike, car, flowers and more!    Each section (Animals, People, Shapes and Things) has "all play" features that enable viewers to play multiple demonstrations at once but also enables viewers to select each item individually to practice their favorite items!

Let me tell you that B and I play DrawSomething everyday.  I draw like a kid, with stick figures and all.  Don't get me wrong because I love the simplicity of stick figures, it shows I am not an artist - that gene from my dad went straight to my brother.  Steps$Kids drawing DVD is pretty neat!  I know it is for children and it was a hit in this household.  To be honest I can now draw more than 40 things better than I could before watching this DVD  :) 

I know of this company because it has many education DVDs out for cursive writing, beginning writing, and multiplication.  They have won many awards for their DVDs and this one is on of the same.  It was recently named "DVD of the YEAR" (CreativeChild Magazine, Art Category).  Plus, with so many parents looking for stuff made within the US, this is - San Diego, California to be exact!  It sells around $24.99, which is a good price considering it is 1.5 hours long!  

To get discount codes and all the great stuff we want, check out their FB page :) 

The teacher in me wanted to point out that on their website they have printable worksheets, FREE!   The ones that could be used with the DVD are the Story Worksheets.  It has a box at the top to draw in and room at the bottom (lined) to write a story to accompany it!  I love it!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Chalk City~Review and Giveaway!

Lately, it have been in the 90's every single day.  Since Boo is a pale skinned, red head it makes it hard to take her our in the sun for a long period of time.  This means no playground on really hot days.  Every time I take her it is like pulling teeth to get her to leave and it always ends in tears(most of the time hers, not mine).  But just because it is too hot to go there, doesn't mean I want to keep her cooped up all day.  It was one of those really hot days when I received my Chalk City activity set.  

The Chalk City® Activity Kit Includes:

• 1 Road Maker® Holds two pieces of sidewalk chalk and creates roadways or courses for kids to run or ride around on their favorite riding toy.
• 3 Road Sign Stencils: Between the Road Maker® chalk lines, kids can learn the rules of the road with the Stop Sign, Turn Left/Right, and Straight Ahead Stencils
• 3 Obstacle Course Stencils: Between the Road Maker® chalk lines, kids can enhance their outdoor physically active play time with the Jumping Jacks, Spin Left/Right, Hop Both Feet/Left Foot/Right Foot Stencils
• 20 pieces of Sidewalk Chalk
• 1 Activity Booklet Offers a variety of additional games and cities to enhance the Chalk City toy experience 

There are many ways to enjoy the set.  Boo is really into obstacle courses so I set one up for her in the driveway.  It was so easy to use that any child could do it.  Since our daughter is only two though, I did all the "work" for her.  She spent the afternoon hopping, spinning, and basically running amok.  Even Daddy joined in all the fun!  

You can find out more at their website: www.chalkcity.com

Flashback Friday-7/20

Welcome to Summer Flashback! What better way to celebrate the lazy days of Summer than with an easy post to write on Fridays.  

1. Create your post and link it up anytime on Friday. 
2. Grab the linky code and share if you want to. 
3. Visit at least 3 other Summer Flashback posts and say hi!

This week the question is, What's your favorite childhood cartoon?

I used to LOVE Ren and Stimpy.  I can still sing all the lyrics to "Log" and I remember the board game that was always on the show, Don't Pee on the Electric Fence.  I have no idea why my parents let me watch it!

Doug was the show I used to watch everyday after school.  I loved Patty Maynonaise! 

This last one is a random show called David the Gnome.  Some of my earliest memories are sitting on my Poppy's lap, watching this show.   I don't remember much about the actual show except it started with him riding the fox at the beginning.

What was your favorite cartoon?

Reuse It Totes!

When you go grocery shopping do you just wish you had a great tote bag to put your groceries in?

Well check out this website!  It has everything from lunch totes to reusable bottles.  There are also over 400 products made in USA!

I have the bag on your right that is green and white - awesome! It is called  BlueAvocado Big Chil Large Insulated Reusable Shopping Bag. 

We recently took it on our trip to Wal-Mart to put all our  fruits and veggies in.  I loved that it had pockets on the outside, which of course I stored my phone/keys/coupons.  If you go to Wal-Mart, you know yourself it takes forever to get though the store because you want to look at everything you do not need or never will.  The BlueAvacado  did keep our fruits chilled throughout the entire journey.  The entire bag is made from recycled material, which is a great idea.  Altough the website carries many products made in USA, this bag is not.  If you are wondering how to clean it, just get a wipe!  The one I have is called Kiwi Wildflower and sells for $22.95. 

Just because I used it for grocery shopping does not mean that is what it specifically is for.  This could be a great beach bag or mom bag for all the little ones stuff as well as your own.  Be sure to visit http://www.reuseit.com and look around at their neat products and various tote bags!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
