“Mommy I accidentally spilled my cup of (insert beverage of choice) all over (insert object or objects of choice).” That sentence strikes fear in me and I know I’m not alone. With laptops, iPads, Kindles and smartphones all around our home it can also be an extremely expensive problem as well.

My preschooler has a tendency to spill drinks a lot and while I do not want him to have to feel like a baby drinking from a sippy cup, the fact is he is messy, messy, messy!

Tommee Tippee had the answer in their Explora Special Edition, 3 Ring Circus, 12 oz. Water Bottle. These manageable cups are great for little hands to grip and their no spill features is great for my little mess maker. Great when he wants to keep a cup of water by his bed and perfect for travel. Now even if they get knocked over, dropped or tossed there are no messy spills to clean.

With great Special Edition designs for boys and girls, it’s easy to pick the perfect pack for any child. The Water Bottle is intuitively designed for guaranteed easier drinking and more natural transitions, their Advance-Flo Technology ensures that the truly spill-proof water bottle is truly spill-proof, leak proof and easy to drink from.

MK & Company, Tale of the Tooth Fairy Gift Sets Review and Giveaway!!!

My six-year-old has just begun losing his teeth. If this is a familiar scene in your house, you are probably frequented by The Tooth Fairy. I received a delightful couple of Tale of the Tooth Fairy Gift Sets recently and my youngest who has not lost any teeth and my six-year-old were very intrigued. The day that I was reviewing them, my son lost a tooth and I could not believe the timing. We thoroughly got to do the review that day! The gift sets feature a delightful soft fairy doll in a girl or boy variety, a gorgeous keepsake box that ties with a ribbon and the hardcover book that explains the Tale of the Tooth Fairy. You can read the book HERE.

If you read the book at the link above, you will understand that the Tooth Fairy gives a child the doll so that she can easily find the tooth which the child places in the bag that the doll carries. Now, she does not need to search high and low to find the children’s teeth and the children have a familiar routine to follow every time they lose a tooth. We put our son’s tooth in the bag and in the morning the tooth was gone and some spending money was left beside the doll. My son was very excited and really liked the little stuffed replica Tooth Fairy. Softer than a box and with more personality then a plain pouch this gift set is adorable. Our youngest who has claimed the other box set cannot wait to begin using it!

My Sibling & My Pal Doll For Going Green Review and Giveaway!!!

I recently had the opportunity to review a My Pal 18″ doll. I chose the blonde haired, blue eyed Going Green doll for my nieces, because their coloring is similar and I thought they would like their new little sister to look like them! The doll has a soft body, with moveable, poseable, plastic arms and legs. Her face is detailed with a slight smile and pretty little eyelashes on her blue eyes that close when you lay her down. Her long hair has a healthy looking shine to it and is easy to brush out and style with braids, or pigtails.

My Pal’s Going Green Doll outfit is made completely in the USA, recycled from adult clothing, and re-sewn into doll clothes! Her outfit is a cute neutral style, a green t-shirt with a beige skirt, a matching headband and a cute plaid handbag. They are well made, and easy to take on and off for little girls who love dressing their dolls! Her sandals are made of recycled cardboard and covered in fabric, they are so unique and give her an earthy vibe. My niece was captivated by her new friend, and couldn’t wait to have her in her arms. I think she was pretty tickled that the doll looked like her, with blonde hair and blue-green eyes!

My Pal for Going Green doll’s mission is to help raise awareness about caring for the environment. She came with a little booklet that suggests websites and books and provides her new friends with information on going green. There are also blank pages to encourage your child to write their own story on what they have done, or are planning to do for the environment. The booklet is printed on 100% recycled paper!

My Pal also make a boy version of their Going Green Doll.

My Sibling/My Pal has dolls and plush toys to help kids understand how children with disabilities like autism, socialize and develop differently. Others have their own humanitarian causes to promote like My Pal for Peace and My pal the Patriot. Each doll comes with their own booklet to help explain why their cause is relevant in a kid-friendly way.

My Sibling/ My Pal provides work experience for teens and adults with disabilities with their Work Experience Program. By giving them the opportunity to help assemble, dress and package their dolls and other products, My Sibling/ My Pal is helping these students and adults get the skills they need to eventually find employment where they otherwise may not have been eligible for. My Sibling/My Pal reaches out to public and private schools and adult programs, who wish for their students and adult workers to get real job experiences.

Tradewind Books, “On My Walk” Book Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

Recently Tradewind Books sent me a book to review and one to use for a give-away. They sent me the children’s book, “On My Way” by Kari-Lynn Winters and illustrated by Christina Leist. I shared it with my 2 year old Luke tonight, and he just loved it. It was such a fitting and relative book for us because we take a lot of walks, and live in the country. This book follows a small child as he walks with his mother and his dog in the country. Luke loved that the dog looked like one of our dogs, Delilah. It was a great book because even though the words on each page were few, the content allowed us to talk about our own experiences. For instance the child sees a frog and we talked about how we see frogs on our walks. He was delighted seeing a little boy like him, seeing the same things he does, on his walk. It was a short, pleasant read and was just perfect for spurring conversation in a toddler or pre-schooler. The illustrations are charming and amusing, like when the dog is licking the boy’s ice cream cone. We give this book 2 thumbs up, oh wait, 4 thumbs up!!!

excerpt:

On my walk,
my summer walk,
I hear a horse, clippity-clop, clippity-clop,
and a frog, frippity-frop, frippity-frop

The second of January brings the second gorgeous day of the new year!!!

January 2nd and a beautiful mild day. I set out on my walk with my little man Ethan and Sassy Sassafras. Ethan was so happy to go along and skipped almost the whole way. He did stop to throw snow rocks into the lake but they did not make a big splash like in the warmer weather but skipped across the icy lake top. It was Sassy’s first time around the lake and she was just as good as Zazzy (Zoey). At one point Ethan picked her up and wanted to hold her but I appealed to him to let her walk and get good exercise too. I love how taking a nice walk outside just energizes the body and minds of adults, children and dogs alike. We all returned home, happy, refreshed and grateful. Hope everyone is getting out and enjoying the mild temps we are having.

My New Year’s Eve Cocktail…

Well, it is technically my lunch cocktail and I drink it daily. I mix it up a little bit but it usually always contains Kale because that is just a wonder-food. If you read all the properties of this awesome veggie in its raw form you will be amazed. The cancer-fighting properties alone are enough to make you consume large quantities. So today I put in a lot of Kale, fresh organic Spinach, green grapes, fresh raw cranberries, fresh strawberries, organic baby carrots, kiwi with skin, large navel orange, large apple, small amount of water and ice cubes to top it all off.
