Fun on the Farm DVD Review and Giveaway Ends 2/7


Fun On The Farm



Available on February 8, 2011 from TM Books & Video

DVD Synopsis:

Fun on the Farm takes you on a fascinating trip where you learn how farmers grow their crops, what kinds of animals live on a farm, and where the food in the produce aisle comes from. The 30-minute Fun on the Farm is an engaging foray into the growing cycle. It starts in the spring with planting, then the fields are cultivated, and finally, in the fall, when the leaves change to beautiful shades of red and gold, the farmers harvest their crops using a combine. Host Doodle Rooster and his friends Bell Cow and Harvey Horse take turns introducing young viewers to the marvels of big farm machines all set to a delightful soundtrack of singer/songwriter James Coffey. Take a trip to the “Farm in the Zoo,” a big attraction at Chicago’s Lincoln Park Zoo that teaches city kids about farm life. Then travel to the John Deere Harvester Works in East Moline, IL to see how John Deere makes their combines. Learn about tractors, cultivators, combines, plows, balers and more. Take a laugh-filled trip to the Wacky Farm and lend a hand and work the land as you explore the many chores kids do on a farm.

Along with games like “Name the Letter” and “The Cloud Game” (finding clouds that look like animals), your little farming enthusiasts are sure to cultivate new seeds of knowledge and have a great time exploring the many facets of life on the farm.

Fun on the Farm is recommended for ages two to five and will be available for a suggested retail price of $14.99. To order, call toll free 1-800-892-2822 or visit www.tmbv.com.

BlogHer 2011



I am giving serious consideration to attending BlogHer Conference this year. I really wanted to last year but by time I had decided, it would have been impossible to get tickets. This year it is in San Diego on August 5-6 which means it's a looooooong way from Ohio. BUT, if I can get a sponsor in time, I am 99.9% positive that I will be going! Anybody else planning to attend? I would love to be able to meet up with some of the awesome bloggers I have gotten to know here in the blogosphere not to mention some of the cool sponsors we have had the opportunity to work with!

Review and Giveaway from Solise! Ends 2/5


I come from a family with a history of skin cancer so protection from the suns harmful rays is extremely important to me but I will be the first to admit that I am not as diligent as I should be with protecting myself with sunscreen all of the time.  I rarely remember to apply sunscreen and when I do, I hate it because most of it is sticky or greasy and leave me feeling very uncomfortable.  I was so excited to be introduced to Solise, an innovative new product that combines sunscreen with something I already use on a daily basis, body wash!




What Exactly is Solise?


Solise is a high-quality body wash, loaded with natural emollients, moisturizers and rich skin conditioners, not to mention the very best cleansing agents for healthy skin. Solise is also a delicately balanced combination of ingredients proven to protect skin from damaging sun rays, both UVA and UVB. What truly separates Solise from all other body washes and sunscreens is their patented process — a multiple-phase emulsion process developed by our artful chemists that enables them to marry a great, natural body wash with true SPF 15 protection. Solise is a complete, creative blend of both worlds — the best of body washes and the best of sunscreens.

Why is Solise So Great?!

•Cleanses and protects your skin with a unique patent-pending formula containing SPF 15 sunscreen.


•Daily UVA/UVB protection.

•Feels and works like a premium body wash.

•Non-Greasy.

•Hypoallergenic.

•Skin Cancer Foundation recommended. Dermatologist tested.

•Non-Comedogenic, does not clog pores.

•Formulated with natural emollients and skin conditioners to leave your skin soft and hydrated.

•Paraben Free.

•Anti-Aging.

•Not tested on animals and contains no animal by-products.

What We Think:

I am extremely picky about what kind of body wash I use but I absolutely loved the Solise body wash that I received!  It smells light and refreshing and leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth.  It is an added bonus that I can leave my house every day and feel fresh and clean but also to have the reassurance that I am protected from the sun and I am doing what I can to prevent myself from being another victim of skin cancer.  Best of all, Solise costs considerably less than what I would generally pay for a good body wash at just $14.99 a bottle. I love having my Solise in my shower and I will definitely be reordering soon!

One lucky reader is going to win a bottle of Solise Hand Wash!

Review and Giveaway from Toe Juice and Hog Wash Valued at $50! Ends 2/5



I have always had dry,cracked feet and my husband suffers from psoriasis so we are always on the lookout for affordable skin products that help tackle both problems.  We were excited to receive a great product called Toe Juice that was designed to combat a number of problems including but not limited to excema, psoriasis, dry cracked skin, atheletes foot and so many more!! Designed to naturally soothe and soften skin, Toe Juice is a fast drying liquid that is easy to apply and delivers immediate results!  I decided to put Toe Juice to the test and used it only on one foot and I was amazed at the difference between my feet in just a couple of days. The foot that used the Toe Juice was  softer, smoother and less itchy!



We also received Hog Wash to try out! Hog Wash is hand sanitizer infused with DermaVine to promote naturally soft skin while keeping you protected! This is great for occupations that require you wash your hands a lot like nurses, doctors, etc. We received 2 bottles of Hog Wash and it didn't take long for my 7 year old daughter to snag one of the bottles up to take to school with her. I told her she already had hand sanitizer at school and she told me she would trade me because the Hog Wash wasn't "stinky" and it made her hands soft.

I am very impressed by both the Toe Juice and the Hog Wash! I can't believe how quickly both products worked to make our skin softer and healthier!

Now you can try out one of these great products yourself! Use Coupon Code 1oz to try a 1 ounce sample of Toe Juice for just the price of shipping!

Valentines Day Giveaway from Red Envelope! Ends 2/1



 Valentines Day is just around the corner and if you are like me, you are looking for the perfect gift for your special Valentine. RedEnvelope has you covered with gifts for everyone on your list with unique, personalized gifts that your Valentine is sure to remember! With all of the Valentines Gifts for him at RedEnvelope, I had a super hard time choosing just one thing for my husband but ultimately decided on the baseball money clip wallet!

My husband is a huge baseball fan so this is the perfect gift for him! Made from black aniline goat leather, it has 2 credit card slots, a center compartment and a magnetic money clip closure so it's plenty big enough for all of the important things my husband carries. They didn't have his favorite team but I was still able to order him the non-team-specific money clip wallet with a baseball and get it personalized with his initials!  If your honey is a Dodgers, Yankees, Red Sox, Cubs, Mets or Phillies fan though, you can choose one of those teams instead! To my husband, the greatest thing about this product is that the baseball on the front is is an actual piece of a baseball used in a real pro game and it comes with an authentication number so you can look up in the MLB datebase to see which game the ball was played in!!  How cool is that?!



Check out Red Envelope for unique Valentines Day gift ideas for him or her. They carry gifts for every price range for him and her!

GIVEAWAY

One lucky reader is going to win a product of their choice up to $70 from RedEnvelope from any of their Valentines Day lproducts including Gifts For Mom, Gifts for Her, Gifts for Him, Valentines Day Jewelry and Valentines Day Gifts for Him or Her!

Love Dare #3

This past week was a good week. Doing random acts of kindness for one another, my husband and I were able to make each other feel good knowing that we were thinking of each other all through the week. There were still bumps in the road but I think we are at least on the right path. This weeks dare is all about holding your tongue, which I will be the first to admit...neither my husband or I are very good at this. But I am willing to give it an honest try!!!

Love Dare #3

Choose to demonstrate patience by saying nothing negative to your partner. It is better to hold your tongue than to say something you will regret.

Good luck! Have a great weekend.



Help!

My friend Paul is a talented singer/musician in Michigan. He is in a competition where he could be an opener for the Rock and Worship Roadshow where singers such as Mercy Me, Jars of Clay, Thousand Foot Krutch and Matt Maher will be performing in Lansing Michigan.

Prince Lionheart VERSA Formula Mixer Review & Giveaway! Ends 2/2



If I had to choose just one thing that I absolutely hate about using powdered baby formula it is the clumps! After I stopped breastfeeding with my other children and I switched them to bottles of formula, this was my number one gripe and I never did get it figured out. I would shake and shake and shake those bottles and they would still be clumpy. Now, several years later, it's Prince Lionheart to the rescue with their VERSA Formula Mixer!



There are so many things I absolutely LOVE about the VERSA Formula Mixer. First of all, the obvious. It takes care of one of the problems that parents hate most about powdered formula! The clumps!  Second, it is so incredibly easy to use! Just put the attachment on, put it in the bottle and turn it on! (Disclaimer: Don't turn it on BEFORE you put it in! Daddy learned the hard way!) And 3rd, it is a dual-purpose mixer for the entire family! The first attachment blends formula while the other is awesome for frothing milk in coffee drinks! It also works great for hot chocolate and mixing powdered chocolate milk!!  And probably best of all for me, my kids can use it by themselves without my help! It's easy to clean and it's small enough to take on the go too. Just pop it in your diaper bag or purse and bottles can be clump free while you are out and about. Oh, and did I mention you can purchase one for just $7!!!  This is a MUST HAVE for any Mama who uses powdered formula because every baby deserves a clump-free bottle!

Shaun the Sheep Spring Shena-a-anigans DVD Review and Giveaway Ends 2/1

Shaun the Sheep Spring Shena-a-anigans



Available on DVD January 25, 2011 from Lionsgate and HIT Entertainment

DVD SYNOPSIS:


Spring with excitement and jump with joy, because Shaun the Sheep is back for more wild adventures from the Oscar®-winning creators of Wallace & Gromit. Fun on the farm with Shaun and his barnyard buddies springs to life, from bouncing sheep and a super-sized Timmy to bagpipe buddies and a short-sighted farmer, there’s no limit to the wild things these animals will do. So hop along with Shaun, Bitzer, Shirley, Timmy and those Naughty Pigs next door in some sheep-herding mayhem that’s sure to give you a lift!

 
Episodes include:

“Spring Lamb” - It’s bath time for a reluctant Timmy. In trying to escape, Timmy gets a spring attached to his tail. It’s up to the flock to catch the bouncing baby sheep and return him to the tub before he destroys the farm.

“Supersize Timmy” - Timmy accidentally eats a tomato grown with “Miracle-Grow” fertilizer and expands to become the King Kong of sheep. Shaun must keep the giant toddler out of sight while trying to figure out how to return him to normal size.

“Bagpipe Buddy” - The sheep discover a set of bagpipes on the rubbish dump which they immediately misidentify as a sick emu. They set about trying to nurse it back to health before releasing it back into the wild.

“Cheetah Cheater” - A wildlife film inspires Pidsley the cat to play a prank on the flock by disguising himself as a leopard. Shaun is convinced there is a huge beast on the loose and concocts a plan to catch it.

“Lock Out” - While preparing for bed, the Farmer manages to lock himself out of the house and is stuck outside in his pajamas. He decides to spend the night in the barn but his incessant snoring drives the flock mad. Shaun heads up an operation to return him to his bed without waking him up.

“Draw the Line” - The flock hijack a road line-painting machine and cause chaos while creating giant works of art in the field.

“Ewe’ve Been Framed” - When Shaun accidentally breaks the farmer’s glasses, he and Bitzer have their work cut out trying to prevent their short-sighted master from having mishaps around the farm. Things get a little hair-raising for the flock before Shaun manages to replace the smashed up spectacles.

Shaun the Sheep is among our favorite cartoons and this is the very reason!  The episodes are packed full of adventures that keep our children laughing the entire DVD!  It's no wonder Shaun the Sheep has won the following awards:

Review and Giveaway from LazyPatch! Ends 2/1


I don't know about where you live, but here in Ohio, it has been a brutal Winter so far and we still have at least a couple of months to go! I can't even remember the last time I saw anything but snow in our yard or when the temperatures have been above freezing! Trying to stay warm is always a challenge so I was so excited to be introduced to Lazypatch!!!


Lazypatch is a company in Australia who specializes in Duvet Suits and Boots designed to keep YOU warm and comfy at the same time! 

I found this great list for all of the uses of the suits from Lazypatch on their website...I got a chuckle out of some of them!

Lazy days on the couch. Waking up on those freezing cold mornings or returning home from work on those dark dreary nights – throw away those old tracky dacks and baggy jumper.


Save the environment – turn the heater down 2 degrees (or off) and Reduce your Emissions

 Take it camping or on those weekend get aways.

 Save on heating bills – I know, I lived in a house with concrete floors and heating cost a fortune – in the end I turned the heat off and just wore my lazypatch.

This is a must for students living out of home.

Purchase one for your parents – their circulation isn’t what it use to be!!

No need to get out from under the quilt while leaving the couch (great for those quick toilet breaks!)

Pretend you’re in the opening snow scene from The Empire Strikes Back.

It's the perfect gift for Mothers Day, 21st, 30th, 40th, 50th birthdays. What could be more unique than a suit made out of Duvet!!

The suit can be stored away as a pillow – throw another matching pillow case over the top and keep on your bed during the warmer months.  (How creative!)

The jacket is perfect for the early morning dog walking, or watching the kids playing sports

For all those guys with partners that feel the cold and have the heater on at 100 degrees – this is the answer!! (This is so me and my hubby!!) 

It’s not just a winter item – think of those cold summer days when you don’t want to turn the heater on as it could be 40 degrees the next day.

So you see, there are countless ways you can use your Duvet suit from Lazypatch!!  My husband spends a lot of time outdoors so this is the perfect gift for someone like him!!  He also has his "man cave" hangout that is rather chilly so this is the perfect thing for him to wear while he is chilling and watching the tele! It even has a pocket for things like the remote control, cell phone, etc. The double zip feature allows you to control air flow and the arms and legs are designed extra long so you can keep your limbs covered or you can roll them up when you need to use them! And perfect for outdoor use, the suits now come with a detachable hood!  The Duvet Suit from Lazypatch has everything! I have seen similar suits that cost up to $600 but you can purchase one from Lazypatch for just over $150 with shipping. They also offer gift certificates so you can give the gift of one of these awesome suits or pair of boots to someone you love!


GIVEAWAY

One lucky reader is going to win a Duvet Suit of their choice, a $154 value!

The winner in Bob Evans Super Spud Sing Along Contest has been announced!  See the winner RIGHT HERE but I am warning you! The winning video is insanely cute! These sisters definitely deserved the win!




Review and Giveaway from Teagan and Mack Ends 1/25


I'm a sucker for adorable children's clothing and when it's made of eco-friendly, organic cotton, you might as well call me hooked!  With a baby who is now pretty mobile, having comfortable clothing for him is a must and Teagan and Mack is definitely a company who provides all that and more!



We received an adorable pair of brown and blue cargo pants from Teagan and Mack and they are simply fabulous! We have gotten so many compliments on them from other Mom's too!




There are so many reasons why I love Teagan and Mack. First of all, their clothes are not only adorable but so comfy for your little one as well! Our 11 month old can toddle around the house all day long in his Teagan and Mack Cargo Pants. But even better, I love how Teagan and Mack gives back! Take for instance their Recycling program. Teagan and Mack believes it is important to give back to the community so they have instituted a recycling program that benefits moms at a local women’s shelter as well as YOU. If you return your gently used Teagan and Mack clothing to them after your baby has outgrown them, you will receive a 15% discount off of your next order!  If you return someone else's clothing, you will receive 10%!  All donated clothing is then delivered to Safehouse Progressive Alliance for Nonviolence, a women's shelter located in Boulder, CO.

Teagan and Mack also has the Sisterhood program!  Teagan and Mack is currently sponsoring Angela Nyota M'Badesire and she is their "sister" through Women for Women International. Angela lives in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). They plan to grow their program over time to support 10 sisters for a year of their lives. You can feel confident in knowing that the more you support Teagan and Mack, the more they can support women like Angela who are in great need.

As you can see, Teagan and Mack give back to communities all over the globe and these are the kind of companies I love to support!!!!  They not only offer high quality, eco friendly clothing for our children but they constantly look for ways to give back. And to that, I say BRAVO!

About Guilty Party:

Disney Guilty Party combines the whodunit theatrics of classic mystery games with the family-oriented multiplayer action of traditional party games as players join the Dickens Detective Agency on a hunt for the criminal mastermind Mr. Valentine. Gamers travel to a variety of unique locations around the globe, including a high-speed train and an old aquarium, collecting clues and interrogating suspects in quick mini-games. Players use their Wii Remotes as lock picks, flashlights, fingerprint kits, magnifying glasses, and other tools of the sleuthing craft, and more than a dozen different mini-games keep things varied. Multiplayer action includes both competitive and co-operative modes, with gamers taking turns exploring each environment and collecting clues before they accuse a suspect, and Disney Guilty Party is designed to mix the clues, suspects, and mini-games with every play!

It is a super fun game that is sure to bring your family tons of laughs!!
