Maple Leaf Monster Jam 2015 in Toronto at the Rogers Centre was incredible and an evening we won't soon forget. It was loud, it was exciting, and it was bursting with energy. As usual I screamed like a maniac cheering on my favourite trucks, totally embarrassing my husband and daughters, and drawing a few strange looks from surrounding strangers. But I don't care. This is the one night in the entire year that this usually quiet and fairly shy mom really lets lose and puts it all out there. The stress and anxiety of daily life that weighs me down is lifted and I let it all go. I'm crazy, I'm nuts, I'm happy and having a fantastic time with my family. </span><span style="font-size: large;">If you missed it or Monster Jam hasn't made it yet to your city, here's a brief recap or a taste of what's to come. Enjoy! </span></span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><a name='more'></a></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;">Great fun for the kids, my daughter is excited!</span></b><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VUGMEIvvYYo/VLxe82rxrZI/AAAAAAAAnOQ/DxKw6ywUigg/s1600/IMG_5003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VUGMEIvvYYo/VLxe82rxrZI/AAAAAAAAnOQ/DxKw6ywUigg/s1600/IMG_5003.JPG" height="425" width="640" /></a></div></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>El Toro Loco put on a fantastic performance and was a fan favourite winning the Thor by Parts Canada Monster Jam Championship.

It's just so incredibly exciting, and amazing fun for the whole family. I scream and yell more in a couple hours there than I do compared to an entire day at the amusement park riding roller coasters. By the end of the event I've got a huge smile on my face and almost no voice. It's awesome!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /><a name='more'></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I think this is our 4th year in a row attending Monster Jam.

Although my kids are always home because I homeschool. But you know what I mean. So what are your kids doing this summer? We're leaving tomorrow for week of camping. Can't wait! Unfortunately the drive is a bit long and the weather is calling for rain half the time we're away. So mommy needs to find ways to keep the kids entertained and occupied. Then there is the rest of the summer to work on. Thankfully I recently received some great books to review from DK Canada that the kids absolutely love. Check them out!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"></span><br /><a name='more'></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-E2RWSg-Dgxw/U8CoRyHgu7I/AAAAAAAAf54/itvd3GxPJeU/s1600/Pretty.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-E2RWSg-Dgxw/U8CoRyHgu7I/AAAAAAAAf54/itvd3GxPJeU/s1600/Pretty.jpg" height="320" width="268" /></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://cn.dk.com/nf/Book/BookDisplay/0,,11_9780756697990,00.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Doodlepedia Pretty</a> </b></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">This is actually one of three Doodlepedia books we have and my girls love them all! This isn't your average colouring book. It's much more than that ~ it's interactive and educational. Kids can doodle, complete drawings, colour in images, add finishing touches, and learn fun and interesting facts too! In this book my daughters can colour in a beautiful peacock, design and draw a Venetian mask, create and colour quilt patches, and draw stripes on a herd of zebras. And that's just in the first few pages! This 96 page activity book is full of fun for the kids and in the process they learn about science, weather, animals, nature, and more. If Pretty isn't what you're looking for there's also the original Doodlepedia, Doodlepedia Wow, Animal Antics, and Dinosaurs. Great for long car trips, rainy days, and much more.

And this book has BOTH and includes over 500 stickers! With this activity book the girls can create, complete challenges, play games, take quizzes, and have lots of fun finding where the stickers belong and decorate pages too. I love how educational and fun this book is. Learn about dart frogs and colour them in, follow the winding paths to match the animals to the food they eat, and take the baby animal quiz matching the baby animal stickers with the parents on the page. My girls love this book and have it packed in their backpack for the car ride tomorrow. Lots of fun for sure! Other books in this series include: </span><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Ultimate Factivity Collection Dinosaurs, </span></span><span style="text-align: center;">Fashion, </span>Rocks and Minerals, LEGO Legends of Chima, LEGO City, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Star Wars, and Spider-Man. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JSEDDLJ2zLA/U8Ebf3GY-hI/AAAAAAAAf6Y/AULUaVdqJwU/s1600/Make+It.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JSEDDLJ2zLA/U8Ebf3GY-hI/AAAAAAAAf6Y/AULUaVdqJwU/s1600/Make+It.jpg" height="320" width="252" /></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://cn.dk.com/nf/Book/BookDisplay/0,,11_9780756682286,00.html#" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Make It!</a> </b>My kids LOVE arts & crafts! Anytime we get a hold of a craft book my girls devour it with excitement. This book is awesome because it takes everyday items from around the house and repurposes them transforming them from trash to treasure. Using paper, plastic, metal, or fabric, kids can make totally cool gifts and toys. My daughter already made a really pretty paper weaving project and next we plan to make paper mache bowls using torn up junk mail and homemade paste. There's also projects for making a sturdy box with a handle using newspaper, make gorgeous jewelry with colourful paper scraps, and make a cool robot from tin trays, cans, and foil. Lots of fun and inexpensive too!</span></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">If you're looking for fun for the kids this summer, be sure to check out </span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">the <a href="http://cn.dk.com/static/cs/cn/11/nf/features/summer-fun-boutique/index.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Summer Fun Boutique</a>!</span><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><u>Enter to Win!</u></b></span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Enter below for your chance to win your choice of one of the books I reviewed.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Canada only ~ Ends August 1st @11:59pm EST.</span></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span></span><div class="pgtContainpgt" id="pgt54421844846pgt"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://giveawaytools2.com/giveaway.php?sk=54421844846" rel="nofollow" target="_BLANK2">Entry</a><script src="//giveawaytools.com/wid/embed.php?sk=54421844846" type="text/javascript"></script><a href="https://giveawaytools.com/giveaway.php?sk=54421844846" rel="nofollow" target="_BLANK2">-Form</a></span></div><strong><span style="color: #00ccff;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="240" scrolling="no" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets/follow_button.html?screen_name=DKCanada" style="height: 20px; width: 300px;" width="320"></iframe></span></strong></div>**Disclosure: The books mentioned above have been given free of charge from DK Canada in order to facilitate this review.

The weather has been absolutely gorgeous lately and we've been spending lots of time outside. The kids are so happy to be out with the other kids on the street, riding bikes, rollerblading, skipping rope, and all that fun stuff. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">With all that physical exercise the kids get hot pretty quickly and are always asking for a cool treat. Needless to say we've been going through a lot of freezies lately! But freezies are full of sugar and empty calories. Surely there's a better solution. My girls love having smoothies for breakfast, so I thought why not take these delicious and super nutritious smoothies and turn them into a frozen summer treat! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Silk Almond Smoothie Pops</span></strong></h2><div style="text-align: center;"><input src="https://platform-remix-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/5339f112-b747-11e2-a002-22000afa0bbb/331c9928-fe65-11e3-84b8-22000afd2dc7.jpg" style="float: none; max-width: 100%;" type="image" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I went super simple with our smoothie pops.

I imagined BBQ's on the back deck and long weekends camping with the family at our favourite provincial park.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"></span></div><a name='more'></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">When I think of BBQ's and camping they both always include hot dogs. Sometimes they're big juicy jumbo dogs or sometimes just your average hot dog. Some people nuke them in the microwave, some fry them in a pan, or like us, cook them over a camp fire. But from now on, however we cook them, we'll always use our new <a href="http://www.slotdog.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>SLOTDOG</b></a>.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-F_WTDu-ZR1s/U5e-to_mtnI/AAAAAAAAfFM/NDF6lnST2D4/s1600/slotdog+pic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-F_WTDu-ZR1s/U5e-to_mtnI/AAAAAAAAfFM/NDF6lnST2D4/s1600/slotdog+pic.jpg" height="640" style="cursor: move;" width="582" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">What's a SLOTDOG? Glad you asked! Just p</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">ress the SLOTDOG down on two opposite sides of your hot dog creating a criss cross imprint. Toss it in your frying pan or on your BBQ and watch as it transforms in front of your eyes! As the hot dog cooks the slots slowly expand, helping to show you when it’s ready to enjoy. The slots not only help your hot dogs cook faster and show you when they are done, they also grab hold of the condiments you drizzle on them. Hubby and the kids eat their hot dogs with cheese and ketchup. I personally love mustard. YUM!</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XnrGg9CbSg4/U5fBOR6ek7I/AAAAAAAAfFo/cLt8QJgyVB4/s1600/Slotdog+campfire+pic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XnrGg9CbSg4/U5fBOR6ek7I/AAAAAAAAfFo/cLt8QJgyVB4/s1600/Slotdog+campfire+pic.jpg" height="460" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We went camping on the May long weekend and cooked lots of juicy hot dogs over our camp fires. The slots in the hot dogs helped them heat through before they started to burn. They turned out perfect and the kids LOVED them! The SLOTDOG also keeps your hot dogs from curling as they heat.

It seemed like spring would never come but before we know it summer will be here. If you are like many parents, you're probably already planning for summer camp, whether it's a day camp or sleep over camp.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"></span></div><a name='more'></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://jennifers.oliverslabels.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Oliver's Labels</a></b> are great for labeling all your kids gear to make sure everything comes home with your child. What's extra special about Oliver's Labels is their <b><a href="http://jennifers.oliverslabels.com/foundit/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Found-It code</a></b>. When someone finds your lost item with a Found-It code all they need to do is go to the website, enter the code, and you'll get an email so you can arrange to get your item back. Labeling our kids stuff helps prevents them from disappearing forever and the cost of having to replace them.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I've been with Oliver's Labels as an agent for a couple years now and we LOVE their labels! My kids label everything from pencils and notepads to roller blades and running shoes. I even have labels for myself. They aren't just for kids. They are fantastic quality too! My daughter wore the same flip flops for 2 years in a row and the labels never budged, faded, or smudged. She outgrew the shoes and the labels still looked practically brand new. Love it!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The <a href="http://jennifers.oliverslabels.com/packages/package.aspx?packageid=7&packagename=camp-package" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Camp Package</b></a> with 151 labels and tags includes: 20 <a href="http://jennifers.oliverslabels.com/products/product.aspx?productid=1&productname=original-labels" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Original Labels</a>, 50 <a href="http://jennifers.oliverslabels.com/products/product.aspx?productid=2&productname=mini-labels" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mini Labels</a>, 14 <a href="http://jennifers.oliverslabels.com/products/product.aspx?productid=3&productname=shoe-labels" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Shoe Labels</a>, 30 <a href="http://jennifers.oliverslabels.com/products/product.aspx?productid=4&productname=iron-on-clothing-labels" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Iron On Clothing Labels</a>, 35 <a href="http://jennifers.oliverslabels.com/products/product.aspx?productid=16&productname=stick-eez-clothing-labels" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Stick-Eez Clothing Labels</a>, and 2 <a href="http://jennifers.oliverslabels.com/products/product.aspx?productid=5&productname=large-bag-tags" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Large Bag Tags</a>.

I think they must be going through growth spurts because they always seem to be hungry. It could also be because they are outside every day playing with the other kids on the street now that the weather is nice. With all this extra activity they need an extra boost of energy to keep them going. As their mom I like to try to keep a variety of healthy, easy to grab snacks in the fridge. Fresh fruits, fruit cups, and cut up veggies are always great and individual sized yogurts are a favourite as well.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"></span></div><a name='more'></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Greek yogurt has been growing in popularity lately due to it's creamy-thick texture and high protein content. And now this delicious yogurt is available in a specially-made formula for kids.

Spring is here and soon enough many of us will be suffering from itchy eyes, sniffing, and sneezing. My husband tends to suffer from it's effects more than I do and especially in the fall. It's no fun at all and it can really make you miserable.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>Dogs can suffer from seasonal allergies too!</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span></div><a name='more'></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It never really occurred to me before that dogs can suffer from seasonal allergies as well. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> Unlike humans – who may suffer with itchy, watery eyes and sneezing – dogs tend to express their allergies through their skin.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">We have 2 dogs as you can see from the picture above. Kira is on the left and Kayla on the right. The dogs are a part of the family and their health is important to us. There have been times when Kira has seemed to be slightly itchier than normal. I didn't </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">realize that it was possibly due to allergies. It wasn't excessive and I thought maybe her skin was just a bit dry. If you have dogs, you may want to pay closer attention to those times when something doesn't quite seem right. I know I will. They may very possibly have seasonal allergies! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ye2VHb8KKr8/U2MAwBz-rmI/AAAAAAAAcrw/0RqcRcYZaeQ/s1600/itchy+dog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ye2VHb8KKr8/U2MAwBz-rmI/AAAAAAAAcrw/0RqcRcYZaeQ/s1600/itchy+dog.jpg" height="266" width="400" /></a></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">An Ipsos Reid poll reveals that m</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">ost Canadian dog owners don't recognize the signs of seasonal allergies in their own dogs because they mistakenly believe that the signs would be the same as in humans. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large; text-align: start;">Signs of seasonal allergies in dogs can include </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">ear infections, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">red or irritated skin, and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large; text-align: start;">excessive scratching or chewing at their paws. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large; text-align: center;">To help you remember, <b>THINK ESP: Ears, Skin, Paws.</b> </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: center;">Our friends at </span><a href="http://www.royalcanin.ca/itchypetseeyourvet" rel="nofollow" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;" target="_blank"><b>Royal Canin</b></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> have provided this fantastic info-graphic to help you recognize the signs of seasonal allergies in your dog.</span></span></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mnGVYIDHkqQ/U16eVg0YQ2I/AAAAAAAAckg/i7y0PxG-zrI/s1600/itchy+dog+infographic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mnGVYIDHkqQ/U16eVg0YQ2I/AAAAAAAAckg/i7y0PxG-zrI/s1600/itchy+dog+infographic.jpg" /></a></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><br /></span></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">If you think your dog has seasonal allergies you should't try to manage them on your own. Your veterinarian can prescribe a number of treatments to help provide relief. This includes a quality dog food, which can help the skin form a protective barrier against seasonal allergies and high fatty acid diets that can help to reduce inflammation. The right diet for your dog can help reduce your dog's need for medications such as steroids. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">For more information, be sure to visit <a href="http://www.royalcanin.ca/itchypetseeyourvet" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.royalcanin.ca/itchypetseeyourvet</a> and share your own story on Twitter using the hashtag #ItchyPetSeeYourVet</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>Enter to win!</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><i id="yui_3_13_0_1_1398785006718_4200" style="background-color: white;"><span id="yui_3_13_0_1_1398785006718_4199" style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Itchy Pet Blogger Contest.

But they would be wrong! Both my girls LOVE this book and so do I. So many different vehicles in all sorts of shapes and sizes. From a bicycle, a rickshaw and a pooper scooper scooter from France to a cruise ferry, jumbo jet, and rocket launcher. This book has got it all! The large pages of this book feature colourful detailed illustration of just about every vehicle you could ever imagine and then some! But that's not the best part. My kids were mesmerized with the 60+ movable parts. There are lots of flaps, popups, pull-tabs, and rotating wheels to bring the various vehicles to life. Turn the wheel to mix the cement in the cement truck or change the attachments on the wheel excavator. Lift the flaps to discover the insides of a garbage truck, a paramedic ambulance, a livestock hauler, and a fish factory ship. You can slide up and down the access panels on the side of a pumper truck and slide the construction worker up the ladder into the cab of a large crane. A pop up even launches a rocket into space. This book is seriously cool! Seriously!</span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"></span><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><a href="http://www.amazon.ca/Presto-Change-Book-Animal-Magic/dp/2848019441/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1398908444&sr=1-2&keywords=Presto+Change+-+O" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Presto Change - O</a></b></span></div></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"></span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-O4MkinyysFU/U2GmVWev2wI/AAAAAAAAcqU/WYMb_2Q5RRg/s1600/Presto+change+o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; display: inline !important; float: right; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-O4MkinyysFU/U2GmVWev2wI/AAAAAAAAcqU/WYMb_2Q5RRg/s1600/Presto+change+o.jpg" height="320" width="262" /></a>Do your kids love playing hide-and-seek? I know mine do. That's probably why they love this book so much. With just a few simple twists and turns everyday objects reveal adorable creatures. A man with a top hat reveals a hidden little bird when the hat it turned upside down. A hot air balloon transforms into a drum-playing rabbit. Then there is the teapot that turns into an elephant, the clock that turns onto an owl, and more! </span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"></span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I also love the rhyming verses.

It's bright and colourful and even comes with a neat little carrying handle. Jojo and his sister Lulu are sure to be your toddler's new best friends going wherever they go. I love the tabs on the side that little ones can use to easily flip through to the different sections of the book. First discover more about Jojo and Lulu and their family. Learn the different body parts like their ears, fingers, and toes. Discover their moods, and the clothes they wear. Then move on to their home, what they love to do when they are out and about, and meet some of their animal friends. I love the sturdiness of this book that is perfect for toddlers and I have no doubt that your little one will be carrying this book wherever he or she goes.</span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"></span><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><a href="http://www.amazon.ca/My-First-Color-Dominoes-Discovery/dp/2848019468/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1398914718&sr=1-1&keywords=My+First+Color+Dominoes" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">My First Color Dominoes</a></b></span></div></div><div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"></span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-U1CcWCF0xLY/U2G-5gRzN4I/AAAAAAAAcqw/gli-g7_585I/s1600/My+First+Color+Dominoes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; display: inline !important; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-U1CcWCF0xLY/U2G-5gRzN4I/AAAAAAAAcqw/gli-g7_585I/s1600/My+First+Color+Dominoes.jpg" height="320" width="311" /></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This is a book and game all in one package.

Learn the different colours using familiar objects and even discover what you get when you mix colours together. The domino game features colourful sturdy pieces that are perfect for little hands. Your kids will love matching colours and familiar objects in this new twist of a classic game. I'm sure I'll be playing this over and over with the little ones.

It's adorable and sweet and my favourite out of all the books in this set. Discover all that each season brings within the pages of a tree. Spring brings with it beautiful blossoms, ladybugs, birds and bees. Summer turns the blossoms of spring into delicious red apples. In fall the leaves begin to change colour and fall to the ground. Winter's snow covers the tree's branches and the cycle repeats. Each page features adorable illustrations, simple text, and flaps that reveal little creatures hidden within the tree. Overall this book is a winner in our house. I think your kids will love it too!</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;

It's adorable and sweet and my favourite out of all the books in this set. Discover all that each season brings within the pages of a tree. Spring brings with it beautiful blossoms, ladybugs, birds and bees. Summer turns the blossoms of spring into delicious red apples. In fall the leaves begin to change colour and fall to the ground. Winter's snow covers the tree's branches and the cycle repeats. Each page features adorable illustrations, simple text, and flaps that reveal little creatures hidden within the tree. Overall this book is a winner in our house. I think your kids will love it too!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b><b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://www.amazon.ca/You-Are-My-Baby-Ocean/dp/145212650X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1398824719&sr=1-1&keywords=are+you+my+baby+ocean" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">You Are My Baby: Ocean</a>, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://www.amazon.ca/You-Are-My-Baby-Garden/dp/1452126496/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1398825006&sr=1-1&keywords=are+you+my+baby+garden" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">You Are My Baby: Garden</a>, </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">You Are My Baby: Farm</span></b></div></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jxXOec9IWTI/U2BfhBOCJgI/AAAAAAAAcn8/eqjdm0kx2uc/s1600/You+Are+My+Baby+Ocean.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jxXOec9IWTI/U2BfhBOCJgI/AAAAAAAAcn8/eqjdm0kx2uc/s1600/You+Are+My+Baby+Ocean.jpg" height="200" width="188" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-r4yJobO780o/U2BgmcdsHZI/AAAAAAAAcoE/MHn0YSXQo0k/s1600/You+Are+My+Baby+Garden.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-r4yJobO780o/U2BgmcdsHZI/AAAAAAAAcoE/MHn0YSXQo0k/s1600/You+Are+My+Baby+Garden.jpg" height="200" width="187" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KFEgq-_Y_bg/U2BgxhZTmFI/AAAAAAAAcoY/34eClGi-H0s/s1600/You+Are+My+Baby+Farm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KFEgq-_Y_bg/U2BgxhZTmFI/AAAAAAAAcoY/34eClGi-H0s/s1600/You+Are+My+Baby+Farm.jpg" height="200" width="200" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">These books are so adorable! Each one is two books in one with the little book nestled inside the bigger book. Turn the pages to match the baby animals to their parents. The kids and I really love the colourful illustrations in these books and like with Daddy Wrong Legs enjoy the parent child relationship featured within it's pages. I will mention that these 3 books can be somewhat more fragile than the others due to it's design so you may want to look at these books along with your child if they tend to be a little rough on books. They are wonderful books though and the kids absolutely love them!</span></span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Where to buy:</b> <a href="http://kidsbooks.ca/">Kidsbooks.ca</a>, <a href="http://indigo.ca/">Indigo.ca</a> and <a href="http://amazon.ca/">Amazon.ca</a></span></span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Follow on Twitter: </span></b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://twitter.com/RaincoastBooks" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">@RaincoastBooks</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/petitcollage" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">@PetitCollage</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/ChronicleKids" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">@ChronicleKids</a></span></span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><u><span style="font-size: x-large;">Giveaway!</span></u></b><br /><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Enter to win the complete set of books I reviewed</span></b></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">(If for some reason a book is out of stock the winner will be given the choice to wait for the book to come back in stock or receive an alternative title.)</span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Open to Canada only ~ Ends May 21, 2014 @11:59pm EST</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Don't forget to enter my other Raincoast book giveaway for a </b></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.homeschoolingmom4two.com/2014/04/TwirlTurningHeadsShapingMindsKidsBooks.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">5 book prize package from Twirl!</a></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b></b></span><br /><div class="pgtContainpgt" id="pgt1040726822pgt"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="https://giveawaytools2.com/giveaway.php?sk=1040726822" rel="nofollow" target="_BLANK2">Entry</a><script src="//giveawaytools.com/wid/embed.php?sk=1040726822" type="text/javascript"></script><a href="https://giveawaytools.com/giveaway.php?sk=1040726822" rel="nofollow" target="_BLANK2">-Form</a></b></span></div></div></span><br /><div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.topmommyblogs.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="If you like what you just read please click to send a quick vote for me on Top Mommy Blogs- The best mommy blog directory featuring top mom bloggers" border="0" src="http://www.topmommyblogs.com/directory/images/banners/top_mommy_blogs_signature_banner.gif" /></a></div></div>Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12282800310668683821noreply@blogger.com37tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-466467314402686049.post-13321532428321996262014-04-28T08:52:00.002-04:002014-04-28T09:07:54.699-04:00Just for Kids Weekly Link-Up: Crafts, activities, recipes, & more!
