Celebrate with Shae and Build-a-Bear plus giveaway

August 12, 2009 by Melissa

We all know one of the most popular gifts for kids are stuffed animals. In our house the most popular stuffed animals are Build-a-Bear furry friends. Between the 3 kids we have around 20 friends that include Elmo, Cookie Monster, 2 bunnies, a monkey (named Chili Dog), a bunch of bears and several dogs.

Build-a-Bear started with the simple idea of “I can do that”. Maxine Clark didn’t invent the stuffed animal she made them better. By allowing guests to choose exactly what they want: animal, sound, huggability, outfit and name they are ensured they are completely satisfied with their final stuffed friend. The first retail store opened in 1997 and to date there are over 400 stores worldwide. Along with the retail sites there is an award winning web site, BuildaBear.com where friends can be purchased and customized and Build-a-Parties can be scheduled and an interactive online world called BuildaBearville.com. This is where guests can continue the fun from the store at home by bringing the furry friend to life to play games, purchase clothing and furniture and trade items with other citizens of the online community.

Just in time for her birthday tomorrow Shae was sent an adorable Curly Bear with plaid skirt and summer tee and GORGEOUS silver flip flops. Shae absolutely loves the shoes! The bear has been named her Sam after Shae’s favorite iCarly character and has been sleeping with her and sharing her blanket with her new friend.

Until August 31st Build-a-Bear is running a super special in their retail store

s. Purchase ANY bear plus ANY hanging outfit for just $29.99. This promotion is good IN STORE only and doesn’t include area taxes.

LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! and Build-a-Bear are giving you the chance to win the same bear Shae received. Sign-up for their Beary Newsworthy e-newsletter and tell me another furry friend you would love to own yourself or give to a special little one in your life.

Kaskey Kids Sports Action Figures

August 11, 2009 by Melissa

I love sports especially football so when Kaskey Kids asked me if I would be interested in doing a analysis and giveaway of their sports action figures I jumped at the chance.

Kaskey Kids offers sports action figures for football, college football, baseball, hockey and guys and girls soccer. I am a huge Alabama fan (Roll Tide!) so when I saw these as an option I flipped and couldn’t wait to receive them. Once they arrived they didn’t disappoint. The quality was awesome not to mention how real they looked. Each player was hand painted in Alabama’s home and away uniforms and they looked truly amazing. Each college football set includes:

26 2″ players
1 referee
2 goal posts
24″x 48″ washable felt field
10″x 6″x 5″ stackable container with attached lid and handle

Once I got over the excitement of these sports figures because in Maryland there is not a lot of Alabama collectibles, my son and I set it up like a game was going on. We had the whole offense and defense set up with a referee, goal posts and a felt field which makes you feel like you are at Bryant-Denny Stadium. This is the best Alabama collectible I have by far which my son and I will continue to play with.
Kaskey Kids was founded by Bruce and Christy Kaskey in 2001 with the purpose of creating simple sports action figures. As a mother of four sports-loving children, Christy saw that her children and their friends were happiest and most enthusiastic when sports were involved. Christy took a look back at her own childhood for some inspiration and could vividly remember her two brothers engaging in hours of imaginary play with simple action figures like Army Men, Super Heroes and Cowboys and Indians. After a few years with her house filling up with every bucket or bag of action figures, animals or cars, Christy realized that a simple box of sports action figures could be the key.

Kaskey Kids has a great product and has received many awards to prove it like Creative Childs Magazine Preferred Choice Award in 2008, MSNBC “ConsumerMan” Herb Weisbaum’s Top Rated Preschool Toys for 2005 and the list goes on and on.
I was truly impressed with my Alabama sports action guys and would recommend any of the Kaskey Kids sports action figures to friends and family. So if you or someone you know is a sports fan or a fan of action figures in general check out Kaskey Kids. You will be happy you did.

Kaskey Kids has been generous enough to offer 1 lucky reader the choice of any 1 set of any sports action figure set. So you can choice from footballs guys, college football, baseball guys, hockey guys or guys or girls soccer. They are also offering a promo code you can use for 10% off and that is “GoGuys”

Visit Kaskey Kids and sign up for their mailing list for Special Promotions and occasional information about new products AND tell me which Kaskey Kids Sports Action Figures you will select if you win.

Gift Hero -Copter Darts Evalutation

August 5, 2009 by Melissa

When your child gets invited to a birthday party do you dread going to the store and trying to find that perfect age appropriate gift? I know I do but not anymore with this awesome website called Gift Hero.

Gift Hero takes the stress out of gift buying with their simple to use website. All you have to do is go to Gift Hero and on the main page under Gift Finder select gender, age and price. After you hit go a list of gifts will be displayed based on the selections you made. Gift Hero will deliver your gift in a fun and easy gift bag to “wrap” your gift and take to the party. I really like the Gift Finder feature because it insures you are getting an age appropriate gift that the birthday child should love. All of the gifts on Gift Hero have been tested by Stefanie (Owner), Lisa (Owner), their kids and their kid’s friends so you know you are going to get a great gift.
Gift Hero was started by Stefanie and Lisa the mothers of 3 young children. They were tired of the not so good toy selection at big retailers and at their local stores. Stefanie and Lisa figured there was an easier way to find that perfect gift that they would be happy to give to the birthday child. Gift Hero does not offer anything Stefanie and Lisa wouldn’t be thrilled for their own children to receive.

My family had the pleasure of receiving the OgoSport Copter Dart Set from Gift Hero. The Copter Dart Set arrived at the house “wrapped” in the awesome gift bag they provide which would have made it super easy to give as a gift but since this was for my son we opened it and played it immediately. My son and daughter really enjoy playing with the Copter Dart Set so much that it even went on vacation with us last week. With its foldable target and light weight darts this is a must have for any outdoor trip especially family barbeques.

The OgoSport Copter Dart Set comes with 4 foam darts, foldable target and pouch. The darts have flexible foam wings and a weighted plastic tip so they land upright every time. This game can be played either indoors or outdoors.

Next time your child is invited to a birthday party don’t waste your precious time driving to the store to find a gift head over to Gift Hero where you will be sure to find that PERFECT gift.

Stefanie and Lisa of Gift Hero have been nice enough to offer 1 lucky reader a chance to win their very own Copter Dart Set!!!!

Visit Gift Hero and tell me what gift you would like your child to receive for their next birthday.

Admiral Road Blanket Giveaway

July 23, 2009 by Melissa

Ozon Naughty Girl Hair Tool Analysis

July 22, 2009 by Melissa

With summer came super frizz for Sabreena’s mega thick wavy hair. I’ve never seen someone with hair as thick as hers so you can safely assume she dreads blow-drying and straightening her hair each day. Her flat irons usually last about 6 months before they completely die or start snagging strands of hair and those wider plates seemed to always leave indents near her scalp.

Ozon Hair Systems has introduced us to the Naughty Girl titanium styling iron. This has got to be hands down the best flat iron we both have ever used. It’s 1 inch super smooth titanium plates glide so easily over hair thus leaving no indents and no scorched hair. The Ozon®Naughty Girl’s 1-inch micro-porous, scratch resistant, floating titanium plates lock in moisture and seals the cuticle giving hair a nice glossy shine. With a variable temperature control you can adjust heat from 180°F to 450°F depending on your hair’s type. Sabreena needs the high heat to get through the thickness and I need a much lower temperature since I don’t have much to straighten. The time in which the Naughty Girl heats up is amazing. I sit down at my vanity, turn on the flat iron, apply deodorant and face moisturizer and it’s HOT. A few quick swipes through my hair and I’m good to go. What is there to say about the look of the Naughty Girl, it’s a funky red leopard print just to add a little fun to your primping.

To get a better idea of the dramatic results we have received check out Sabreena’s before and after, this took about 10 minutes and even the hair at the nape of her neck was straight.

Why titanium?
Teflon plates are smooth, and heat up to high temperatures; however they don’t heat evenly, causing some sections to be hotter than others, which is a perfect recipe for burning your hair. After only a couple months, the Teflon starts to chip off. Our ti plates won’t chip away and heat evenly, and can reach temperatures well over the iron’s limit.

Coated Ceramic plates are basically gimmicks that don’t benefit your hair any better than the other surfaces, unless they are paired with infrared heat, which would help eliminate static. But who needs static free hair if it’s burned to a crisp? The Ozon can reach high temperatures or, if your hair is thin or fragile, set it to a lower temperature. It heats up fast, and cools down fast.

Tourmaline Ceramic plates are better than ceramic alone because they have a higher density of negative ions, however the plates still tend to snag hair, and don’t heat as evenly as titanium. The Ozon Titanium hair straightener contains tourmaline ceramic heaters, which give off the same ionic effect but use the benefits of titanium on the actual plates.

Solid Ceramic plates heat more evenly than the coated versions, but over time, the plates, because they are brittle and under constant temperature changes, tend to crack and chip away. Even a little crack would cause you a huge problem if you get just one hair snagged in it.

Titanium plates will never crack or crumble. The glass smooth surface will last longer than the iron itself.

If you’re going to spend the money, spend it on something that is going to work and is going to outlast your hairstyle. Ozon puts out salon quality products with a 1 year warranty. That says they believe in what they are producing and so should you.

Do you have hair troubles too? Do you need a little help in the style department? Do you crave the lastest in fashion and beauty accesories? Want to win your own Ozon Naughty Girl ? LookWhatMomFound…and Dad readers! are getting that chance.

Sport Brella Analysis

July 21, 2009 by Melissa

Sklz who is the leader in sports skills development trainers has bulit a brand that consumers trust to deliver the most innovative and effective sports training products available. Sklz has not let consumers down with the creation of Sport-Brella.

If you go to the beach, have picnics or attend kids sporting events you can’t be without the Sport-Brella from Sklz. Sport-Brella is perfect at the beach for one person or on the sideline of your kids soccer or football game to provide sun protect for the whole team. The Sport-Brella opens to 7’ wide and with side flaps it offers full cover sun, wind and rain protection. It sets up in a few minutes and is the easiest setup sun shelter available thanks to the folding umbrella action. Sport-Brella provides UPF 50+ sun protection and protects you from 99.5% of UVA and UVB rays.

Here is the full list of details for the Sport-Brella in case I missed something:

- Quick shade protection from sun, wind and rain

- Easiest setup sun shelter available thanks to folding umbrella action

- Rugged umbrella structure with side flaps for full cover protection

- Top wind vents and side zippered windows for efficient airflow

- Maximum sun protection UPF 50+ and water repellent

- Protects over 99.5% of UVA and UVB rays

- Internal pockets for stakes, valuables and gear

Includes convenient carry bag plus tethers and ground stakes

Sklz was nice enough to send us a Sport-Brella for analysis and I am glad they did. We used to use a regular beach umbrella when we went to the beach and after using the Sport-Brella we realized what a superior product it is. Sport-Brella offers UPF 50+ sun protection that our old beach umbrella was not providing for me or my family. It set up in minutes which is imperative when you have 3 kids who as soon as you hit the sand want to go into the water and play. Sport-Brella provided great shade for my 2 year old to nap. All I had to do was put the umbrella at an angel and stake down the side flaps and my baby had all of the shade and sun protection she needed. Sport-Brella is such a versatile product with so many features and is so simple to use that no one should be without one.

SKLZ has been generous enough to offer one Sport-Brella (retail value of $69.99) to one of our lucky readers.

VISIT SKLZ and come back and tell me another product you would really love to try out.

Out of the Box Publishing

July 17, 2009 by Melissa

We try to incorporate family game night each week especially in the cooler months when the kids are bored sitting around the house. The biggest problem we run into is playing the same game over and over. Shaun is 6 and Sabreena is 13 so we need something that works for both of them but not too complicated for him and too babyish for her.

I was recently introduced to Out of the Box Publishing. They are a mall company that has been creating new, family-friendly and innovative games that are focused on fun first with a hint of learning. They boast a few facts about their games
• can be learned in minutes.
• are colorfully illustrated and fun to play.
• can easily be played in less than an hour.
• are efficiently designed in smart packaging.
• feature dynamic player interaction from start to finish.

When we received our HUGE assortment of games Shaun immediately snagged one of the Zen Benders and went to work. In just a couple minutes he was playing on his own and a few minutes later he finished one of the easy puzzles. Later that night Sabreena played the other Zen Benders game and since she is older she went right for the hard level, she was whipping through those but since it’s a new game everytime they really kept their attention.

Wallamoppi is my favorite game so far, it is a game of quick thinking, swift stacking and clever strategy. This is a game Shaun and I like to play together. I try to get him to play without the timer just because I want to play fair with him but he insists on using it. The basics of the game are stack as many disks as you can without toppling the tower. There isn’t reading, writing or drawing involved in this game so it’s perfect for his age. It’s also a quick game, lasting less than 10 minutes, letting us squeeze in a couple games before a meal or before bed without a whole drawn out process of setting up a board or dealing out cards or re-explaining complicated rules.

We still have another game to try, Cloud 9, it’s not that we aren’t interested we just haven’t gotten bored with the ones we’ve opened already. Cloud 9 is the one that I’ve been most interested in playing but we just haven’t gotten to it yet. We will be packing up these games to take on vacation next week and their well thought out packaging is allowing us to do that. All of our games came in simple boxes that actually fit on our shelves. We have an extensive collection of board games and puzzles and my biggest pet peeve is odd shaped and domed containers. How the heck am I supposed to store a hand shaped tin? Out of the Box Publishing got is right with regular shaped boxes and containers.

Out of the Box Publishing puts out games that aren’t just fun but educational too. With over 30 games titles to choose from with age ranges from 7 to adult you are going to find something perfect for your child and yourself.

Win an Out of the Box Publishing game of your choice right here at LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too!.

Visit Out of the Box Publishing and tell me which game would be perfect for your family.

Sprig Toys Study

July 16, 2009 by Melissa

My kids love toys that they are able to take to the beach so when we had the chance to do a analyse of Sprig Toys we jumped at the opportunity.

Sprig Toys came into existence after three designers went to visit the factories that turned their computer renderings into real toys. Once they saw how the toys were manufactured they realized the surrounding environment was being harmed by their toy production. Devastated they vowed to make toys the right way so in 2007 Sprig toys was born. Sprig Toys are battery free, paint free, kid powered, eco-friendly toys that allow kids to use their imaginations and explore a whole new world. I really like the fact that not only are Sprig Toys safe for my kids they love playing with them inside as well as outside.

Bee and Butterfly who are the creators of Sprig Hollow designed all the farm vehicles with water resistant materials which make them very versatile vehicles for the water, sand and dirt. The Dunebug Sand Truck has a built in shovel, rake and bucket and the Dragonfly HeliScoopter can be used to scoop up dirt or sand and the landing pad turns into a sand sifter making these perfect for outdoor use. Sprig Hollow was designed with outdoor play in mind but can be used inside as well. My kids love the Sprig Hollow set and can’t get enough of the cartoon like characters and big wheeled vehicles. Looking for toys made by a company who cares about Mother Earth? If so take a look at Sprig Toys.
Want a chance to win a full set of Sprig Hollow (Farm, Sand Truck and Heli-Scooper sets)?

Visit Sprig Toys and tell me something about Sprig Toys that I did not mention in this post.

Kickboard USA G-Bike Analysis

July 14, 2009 by Melissa

One phase of growing up that Rob dreads is teaching the kids how to ride their bikes. While it’s an exciting and liberating time for the kids it’s an exhausting and strenuous time for Rob. Running up and down the street holding on to the back of a bike is no fun.

We are trying something new with Shae. Kickboard USA sent us a super cool G-Bike to get her started with learning balance and coordination. She’s been trying this out for about a month and LOVES it. She wheels around the house and even ventures outside with it. She hasn’t grasped the concept of gaining lots of speed and lifting up your feet but she does call it her bike and races with the other kids down the street as they ride bikes, scooters or skateboards.

Assembly takes literally minutes; handlebars on and away you go. Its lightweight (3.85lbs) and micro design make it small enough for her to tote around without struggle and its low profile allows her to climb on with little help. What I like especially about the G-Bike is its clear wheels; it allows Shae to wheel around the house without fear of marking up the floors or walls. The steering wheel is adjustable from 17.7 “to 20.5” and the seat adjusts 11.8 to 15.75” making this the perfect foot bike for toddlers age 2-4. I’m a bad parent and kept forgetting to get Shae a helmet this is why she spends most of the time riding in the house. I definitely recommend a helmet not just for kids but for everyone.

Mastering the balance of biking is a big deal, once they have that, kids are on their way to a world of independence. The g-bike is a perfect match for early learners, perfect for those who are still too little for traditional tricycles or scooters. Let the g-bike grow with your little one till they graduate to a “big-kid” bicycle.

Kickboard USA was founded on Wim Ouboter’s need for a quick way to travel a short distance in Zurich. Over the years he and his partner Hans-Peter Bolliger came up with a compact 3-wheeled design that is recognizable today and known as the kickboard®. By the end of 2000 more than 9 million scooters had been sold. Kickboard USA has added other cool products such as scooters for little kids, bigger kids and adults plus helmets and the tiny wonder G-Bike.

Want to win your own G-Bike ($140 value) from Kickboard USA. LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! readers are getting the chance to win not one but two g-bikes. We will have 2 winners for this contest. Visit Kickboard USA and tell me what other cool product would be a great fit for yours or your child’s life.
