Moxie Girlz Magic Swim Mermaid plus Giveaway

May 11, 2012 by

To keep up with Shae’s obsession with all things mermaid we were recently sent a Moxie Girlz™ Magic Swim Mermaid™ to review.
moxie girls mermaid doll review

Moxie Girlz™ Magic Swim Mermaid™: The Moxie Girlz™ are imagining themselves as sparkling, magical mermaids! Product Features: First Moxie Girlz mermaid doll; Only doll that magically swims like a mermaid when placed in water. No on/off switch needed – she automatically swims on her own when she’s in water; Since she swims with her tail, she gracefully swims on her stomach, her back and even sitting down; Sparkling tail; Beautiful hair and fashion; Two characters: Avery and Kellan; Age Grade: 3+ Price: $24.99


We received Kellan and while she’s lovely like a mermaid should be the attraction is her swimming action. There are 2 sensors on the back of the doll that are activated when they get wet to simulate the swimming movement. I’ll be honest and tell you that it took me a long time to get the doll working. First, it didn’t come with batteries. Then I installed the batteries backwards. Finally after running the doll under running water I knew I had it figured out and Shae instantly asked to take a bath. She’s been playing with it anyway but now that it’s working she’s more eager to get in the tub.

Kellan is a pretty doll with precious freckles covering her nose and cheeks and fiery red hair; even when it’s caked with soap.

New Lalaloopsy Mermaid is Here plus #giveaway

May 4, 2012 by

I’ve talked about Shae’s (and my) love for LalaLoopsy dolls. We were introduced to them last year and since then they’ve established their places in Shae’s heart and bed. Recently new Lalaloopsy dolls have emerged; this time for the tub.

lalaloopsy mermaid tub toy bathtime puffer fish

do you see the puffer fish blowing bubbles?

Bath toys are hard to come by for mature 4 year olds. Shae has known her colors, numbers and alphabet for quite some time and while pouring water from cup to cup is fun it loses it attraction after a few minutes. Shae likes drama and Lalaloopsy allows her to create her own stories and scenes with adorably decorated and designed dolls.

Coral Sea Shells™ was sewn from a swimmer’s bathing suit. She’s super-imaginative and she loves to pretend she’s a real mermaid. Her favorite hobbies are swimming with the fish and eating seaweed salad. She has a pet blowfish.
Sewn on Date: March 22nd (World Water Day)

Coral Sea Shells along with other mermaid dolls have been joining Shae in the tub for about 45 minutes of play each time. Whether it’s tub toys, littles, minis or original size Lalaloopsy is something all kids (and some adults) will love.

Because Your Mommy Loves You

May 2, 2012 by

Because Your Mommy Loves You is a wonderful picture book that would be a perfect Mother’s Day gift to anyone who loves camping. The story and beautiful pictures describe a mother and son preparing and going on a camping trip. As the little boy encounters everyday situations where parents could easily step in and take control, this mother steps back with a watchful eye and allows her son to handle them on his own. I love the message of teaching self reliance in all our children, no matter what age. The younger the better. It’s a daily message that my husband and I try to get across to our children especially as they get older. And even though I do not have a son of my own, the story hit home. I read it to Peyton and she loved it. She even read it to me twice and asked about when we could go camping this summer.

Written by Andrew Clements the best-selling author of many pictures books as well as novels for young readers. My Daughter, Parker, loved his middle grade novel Frindle. He also has written Because Your Daddy Loves You as a companion book.

Illustrated by R.W. Alley who also illustrated Because Your Daddy Loves You. Paddington Bear series and many other picture books.

April 30, 2012 by

Last Sunday it was a rainy day out so we all stayed in and made lunch with popcorn and cookies and watched the first DVD in the series which included The ends of the earth, Spring and Summer.  It was about 3 hours long and Shae hung in for about an hour but Melinda, Sabreena, Shaun and I watch the whole first disc which was AWESOME.  It is awesome to see  animals like polar bears and killer whales close up in their natural habitat and it is amazing that people are able to brave the elements to catch this kind of footage.

Gorgeous Eyes with Divino Lash Mascara #giveaway

April 26, 2012 by

My makeup collection is not only getting bigger but it’s getting gorgeous thanks to all the blingy things Cattiva Cosmetics keeps sending me. This time I was sent a Divino Lash Mascara. Mascara is NOT something I wear on a regular basis. In fact I don’t even wear it on an irregular basis. Mascara is saved for extra special occasions like weddings and girls nite out.
mascara
Its not that I don’t like the look of long lashes I just don’t usually go through the trouble of applying it for daily errands. I actually love the look of fuller thicker eyes and can go without eyeliner if I’ve applied enough mascara. Since Cattiva Cosmetics sent me a Divino Lash Mascara I’ve worn it about 6 times. That’s 6 times in a month. I’m trying to embrace my feminine side a bit more. Wearing yoga pants and tees all day puts a damper on that sometimes but making the littlest effort really makes a difference.

excuse the overgrown brows

In the above picture you can see the difference between both eyes. I applied 1 coat of Divino Lash Mascara to one eye. It dried quickly and could’ve easily used a 2nd coat but I wanted to see the difference with just one. Clearly my lashes were separated and longer.

You can be a blinged out Cattiva Cosmetics winner by entering here for your own Divino Lash Mascara. Visit Cattiva Cosmetics and tell me something else you’d love to try.

national pretzel day snyders of hanover pretzel delivery

Stories say the hard pretzel had its beginnings in Pennsylvania. One story tells of a baker’s apprentice who dozed off while baking soft pretzels. The fire in the hearth died down and he awoke with a start, thinking that the pretzels had not been baked long enough. He fired up the furnace again, baking them twice as long as necessary. When the master baker found out, he was outraged at the “ruined” pretzels. Then, out of curiosity he tasted them. To his delight, he discovered they were crisp, crunchy and delicious. What especially pleased him was that the new hard pretzels also retained their freshness much longer.

From no through April 26th, pretzel fans can visit the Share it, Pin it, Tweet it tap on Snyder’s of Hanover Facebook page to share the National Pretzel Day image on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.  Visit the contest for more details.
