Celebrate Christmas with The Nutcracker and The Christmas Magic

December 8, 2009 by

I’ve mentioned before how much we love books. The children each have huge libraries of their own. Books are used as a quiet time trigger, a thought provoker, a tear jerker and a giggle starter. My favorite stories are those that get read over and over and over. Scholastic is a top distributor of books for children of all ages. This year they are bringing us 2 stories to cherish for a lifetime.


The Christmas Magic written by Lauren Thomas is Shae’s first intro to Santa. Now that she’s coming on to her 3rd Christmas the questions come feverishly as to who is santa, is he bringing a present, what color is the tree and is it Christmas yet. This book tells a soft less hectic story of Santa getting ready for his big night. He feeds his reindeer, tunes up the sleigh, brightens the bells and lovingly chooses a gift for each child. The illustrations by Jon J. Muth have a snowy feel, almost blurry but really matching with a calm and peaceful story. I’ve always taught my children that while yes Santa brings presents it isn’t about the quantity. It’s about getting that 1 special gift he knows they would love. The Christmas Magic helps reinforce the giving nature of Christmas rather than the greedy side.

Who doesn’t know the story of The Nutcracker and the Mouse King? Originally written in 1816 by E.T.A. Hoffmann, it’s a story of a young girl who family is given a nutcracker as a gift. Upon it getting damaged she takes charge to care for it. During the night she falls in love with the nutcracker and is then whisked away into an enchanted land of toys where they are trying to defeat the Mouse King. This edition is closely based on the original with captivating illustrations from Gail de Marken. Forever a classic, The Nutcracker and the Mouse King is a story every child should have.

SafetyTat Temporary Tattoo For Kids

December 1, 2009 by
Being a parent comes with its own set of worries and struggles. One HUGE worry of mine is losing my children. If you remember a couple weeks back I had a scare where Shaun and Sabreena disappeared from my site for a long time. It was a nightmare.

One thing I didn’t talk about was that morning before heading out for a fun family day I applied a SafetyTat to both Shaun and Shae. Shae was never out of our site so hers didn’t come in handy but since I had to give Shaun’s information to security I was able to mention that he had a tattoo on his arm with MY phone number. Fortunately the tattoo wasn’t needed as Rob found them on his own so no one had to call me.

SafetyTat is a fun and colorful kids temporary safety tattoo with 2 distinct designs; “Original” which are customized by SafetyTat with your mobile phone number and applied with water or “Quick Stick Write-on!” which are peel-and-stick tattoos shipped blank so you can write in your mobile number with the provided tattoo marking pen. When applied to the arm of your child or loved one, SafetyTat provides a highly visible form of identification that stays in place even when wet!

The moment can happen in an instant, you lose sight of your child at the grocery store, amusement park or even your local playground. It’s a busy time of year, malls are crazy crowded and kids can quickly get separated. Take a quick moment to give yourself and your family a little insurance and apply a SafetyTat to the little ones.

Not just for lost kids though, SafetyTat also offers an Allergy Bundle to keep kids healthy when you can be by their side. Stay tuned into all of SafetyTat’s updates and new products. Do you have a story to share about your experience with SafetyTat. Become a Facebook Fan and let them know what you think. Now till December 20, 2009 received 10% off orders of $15 or more using coupon code LWMFAD09.

K’NEX wants kids to make a K’NEXion

November 25, 2009 by

The imagination is a child’s most wonderful tool. With the imagination anything is possible.

For the past 6 years K’NEX have been a staple in our house. Sabreena has built things like a Ferris Wheels, Roller Coasters, Dune Buggys and Planes. More recently she has worked on a Windmill using the set we have and incorporating the 400 piece tub that was sent to us courtesy of Team Mom.
K’NEX has been helping Sabreena expand her imagination, build self confidence and encourage Shaun to use his imagination also. He’s only 6 so still a little too young to build some of the things he really wants to. Sabreena has been there to help him look over the directions, recognize the different pieces and work them into the design he really wants. He’s on his way to be a K’NEXpert.

Shae isn’t left out of the fun. K’NEX offers playsets for little ones as young as 2 years old. The Sesame Street Neighborhood Collection lets the younger kids build and create with familiar characters and fun themes. Shae has been playing with her favorite red monster, Elmo, with the Ice Cream Truck building set. This set includes 18 blocks plus Elmo, what I love the most is it is small enough to tote around the house to bring with us when we are on the go.

 

IMAGINE – Build – Play
K’NEX is the next generation of construction sets. It inspires creativity, builds self-confidence and encourages interaction among children and parents. The possibilities are endless!
K’NEX is also holding a Make a K’NEXion contest. You have the chance to win over $1,000 worth of K’NEX Toys and be featured on the KNEX.com web site. How? Make a video and include select K’NEX products. Construct your own story or showcase your child’s K’NEX building skills – use your imagination!

The 10 best videos will be featured on KNEX.com and the winning video will receive $1,000 worth of K’NEX Toys.

Purchase multiple collections of K’NEX and benefit kids in need. During the months of November and December K’NEX will donate 10% of online sales to support pediatric cancer research at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. In addition, at checkout, every shopper at www.knex.com will have the opportunity to donate additional funds towards finding a cure!

Klutz Encyclopedia of Immaturity Recap

November 22, 2009 by

Gift giving for teenagers is hard. Sabreena’s wishlist is tiny: art supplies, earbugs, zip up hoodie, iTunes GC, THAT’S IT. So we got her that stuff and some others but I recently received something I know she is going to love; The Encyclopedia of Immaturity Volume 2 from Klutz.

This book is filled with funny stories, goofy tricks and how-to lessons on the most unnecessary skills anyone would need to know. This is right up her alley as she would just love to go to school and show of to her friends how to take off your underpants without taking off your pants or how to slip on a banana.

When the Editors and Klutz published The Encyclopedia of Immaturity in 2007, we knew it would make a great gift for someone’s nephew. And, sure enough, people gave it to their nephews — but also to their grandparents, brothers-in-law and accountants. Soon we were flooded with letters, e-mails and calls sharing one common theme — “”More! More! More!” 

So here’s a second helping of skills, activities, and secret knowledge — suitable only for those whose maturity stopped developing around the age of 12. In addition to thought-provoking topics like What We Talk About When We Talk About Wedgies, the book includes detailed directions for how to: fake a cold, slide down a banister, balance a ping pong ball on your nose, send a toiletgram, throw a sloshie, and more. It’s all new and all hopelessly goofy.

For years we’ve felt like the only kids at the grown-up table. Now it turns out the world is populated by a lot more people who are lot less mature than they look. Well, duh!

LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! readers are getting the chance to win BOTH volumes of the Encyclopedia of Immaturity from Klutz. Tell me who this would be a great gift for.

Ultimate Holiday Wishlist – KeltyKids Carrier

November 16, 2009 by

Baby carrying isn’t a new fad. Its history goes back to some ancient cultures like South America, Egypt and Africa. Over the last 30 years there have been great strides in modernizing and streamlining baby carriers. While I have used many different types of carriers over the years the Kelty Kids framed carrier has been one of our favorites for day long events like sight-seeing in Washington DC, cold weather activities like an autumn night corn maze and vacations at the beach. The sizing allowed both Rob and I to wear it easily with simple adjustment and the roominess in the carrier pocket allowed the children to wear cold weather clothing with jeopardizing comfort and fit. It sometimes gets a bit heavy and hot but it’s the way to go for lots of walking

Kelty Kids is reintroducing their line of carriers for 2010 with a variety of new and innovative technologies to offer the safest, most comfortable, functional, and easy to use carriers available. All new for 2010 the framed and transit child carriers come with a waist belt torso length adjustment, providing a safe, comfortable, and custom fit for parents of any size. This improvement in torso length adjustment allows the child to ride lower, creating a lower center of gravity for better balance and comfort for the parent. The carriers come in three vibrant colors and contain many striking details that enhance the overall safety, function and aesthetics of the carriers.
Kelty’s Framed Carrier (FC) 2.0 features a padded, adjustable-height child seat, a ventilated cockpit, and a five-point adjustable harness to provide a comfy fit for growing kids. A patented auto-deploy kickstand makes loading and unloading safe, simple, and worry-free. 1150 cubic inches of storage space for diapers, snacks and extra clothing is divided between a roomy compartment behind the seat and a second compartment under the seat. Sun hood and changing pad sold separately. This carrier will retail for approx. $199.95 at participating retailers such as REI.com.

Whether you are planning a camping trip, a rigorous hike, cross country drive or tailgating with friends Kelty has products for all of these activities. KELTY is based in Boulder, Colorado, and uses the natural backdrop of the Rocky Mountains to test, create and continually innovate within their diverse outdoor product families of Apex, Backcountry, Trail, Basecamp and KIDS. Kelty combines the best in new technology with a healthy dose of common sense to create exceptionally made affordably priced outdoor products.

Dad’s Perspective: The price is steep but as the saying goes you get what you pay for.  The Kelty was a great investment and has lasted us many years compared to the many other different carriers we’ve bought, returned, sold, given away and traded.

Win a Kelty Kids FC 2.0 right here at LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! Visit Kelty and tell me what other product would be perfect for your family and WHY.

My son would love these. Just getting a scratch he ‘needs’ to have a bandaid
November 15, 2009 8:11 PM


For some kids sometimes a kiss is all they need to heal a boo-boo. My kids prefer band-aids even when there is no blood in sight. Ouchies make those boo-boos all better with fun and funky designs.
Ouchies was started by a dad who wanted to add some fun to his daughter’s bumps and bruises. Scouring the stores and markets left him empty-handed so with the help of his lovely wife they concocted Ouchies. Girl Bands, Boy Bands and Make Your Own-Ages are the 3 styles to choose from from Ouchies. Each comes in a cool tin with 20 bandages inside with designs such as Surfer, Dragon and Camo. Even cooler are the Make Your Own-Ages that come with blank bandages and 3 markers so kids and adults alike can design their own wound covering.

Shae gets the littlest scratch or redness and immediately asks for a bandaid. She hasn’t been digging the standard Blues Clues bandaids lately so I thought she would love these designs.

Join the fight and become a member of People Against Boring Bandages. Take a stand against the dull and beige bandages we are so used to.

Dad’s Perspective: Shaun loves the rocker tattoo style of these bandaids, they are much cooler than Spongebob or Scooby Doo.

LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! readers are getting the chance to win one of three gift sets(1 tin of each style) from Ouchies. Visit Ouchies Online and tell me who would love these funky fresh bandages.

CitiBlocs Revolution

October 24, 2009 by

And the Winner is:

soccermom1 said…
These are non toxic
rjs682(at)yahoo(dot)com

Citiblocs were created with innovation, durability and affordability in mind. Building blocks are great fun and they allow children to use their imagination to build endless items. Citiblocs are made from Radiata Pine from certified renewable forests in New Zealand and all cut precisely to the same exact size. Since Citiblocs are all the same size and shape all that is needed to build towers, cars, forts or boats is gravity and the power of imagination.

When we received our set of 54 Blocks color box Shae was first intrigued by the red and blue color of the blocks. After that she was quickly lining them up and stacking them not really making anything in particular but just having a great time. Shae is fairly new the building blocks so Citiblocs will be good for her since they are all the same size and shape. I am sure Shaun and Sabreena will have alot of fun helping Shae build awesome things. The one thing I would have liked to see as a parent is a plastic storage box or durable bag for the blocks. Citiblocs come in a sturdy cardboard box but over time I am sure my kids will destroy the box and I will have to get a storage box.
Citiblocs has won 12 Indusry awards in just six months which to me says people think they have an awesome product here which they do. Some of the awards they have won are Dr Toy Best Green Product Winner, Dr Toy Best Vacation Products Winner and iParent Media Award Winner.
You can get Citiblocs at Toys R US, Etoys.com and Citiblocsstore.com. Citiblocs offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee and also offers 10% off to educators.
Mom’s Perspective: I love natural play. Not only does it mean no batteries/no noise but this means the kids can use their imagination. Building blocks are a great tool to improve hand eye coordination and dexterity.
Citiblocs is offering 1 lucky Look What Mom Found…and Dad too! reader a chance to win either a 52 piece natural set or the 54 piece color set of there own. Head over to Citiblocs and tell me anything new about Citiblocs that was not mentioned in my article.
