Our Hello Kitty Party

2012-05-28T12:25:00.000-04:00

We finally had the girls' Hello Kitty party and even though I didn't get to go to the extent I wanted, it turned out with smiles from them. The wind here is unreal so I had to move some of it inside and the part I had outside, had to be taken down as quickly as it was put up. I had an image in my mind how it would turn out but no thanks to the wind, I wasn't able to do it.

This picture was a sweet shop which I took a white bookcase and altered it into my shop. I used fabric, styrofoam (top part with the Hello Kitty wrap), two covered wrapping paper tubes to hold up the top and a hot glue gun. I also used both my Silhouette SD Cutter and the Cricut with Hello Kitty cartridge to make the sign along with Elmer's glue adhesives for poster boards.

The table was just an existing table we had along with Hello Kitty plastic plates, cups and hats.

I bought pink and black Sixlets for the candy jar and via Amazon,

Hello Kitty Marshmallow Pop, 1.48-Ounce Packages (Pack of 24) and PEZ Hello Kitty, 0.58-Ounce Assorted Candy Dispensers (Pack of 12) and Hello Kitty Candy Tin Sours Raspberry.

This was the little set up outside that included cupcakes with handmade picks, popcorn cones with Hello Kitty ribbons and push up pops as seen in the book Push-up Pops. I used Push Pop Containers 24ct. Clear Plastic Push up Pops to layer brownie and pink icing. I adorned Hello Kitty charms along the edge with a ribbon.

The pre-party dresses were compliments of Adorable Baby Clothing that have a beautiful assortment of amazing quality clothing for children. From every day wear to formal wear, the selection is definitely there. My favorite part outside of the superb customer service is the ease in finding the sizes you want if you decide to dress more than one child in the same outfit.

Party Invitation Examples:

Activities included painting our nails with the Hello Kitty manicure set, playing pin the bow on Hello Kitty and practicing riding our new bikes.

Chuck: The Complete Fifth Season on DVD/Blu-Ray

2012-05-23T22:10:00.000-04:00

Aren't computers amazing? We can do so much with them and the more you know, the more you can do. I've become pretty good at computers from various Office programs to photo software to even searching for people. There was a time when I was researching and helping a lawyer on a criminal case where I had to find out who an attorney was for a particular case and find out who they used as experts. The stories printed online never mentioned the attorney's name rather just the defense so that made it a bit harder. I followed through with different modes of searching and different search engines until I accomplished the mission. I made contact, received the answer and had the two lawyers talking.

I'm not a hacker so I have no idea how people learn to do that. I did have a stalker incident not too long ago where I had a suspected first person name and followed through with what I thought was pretty good detective work and found the person. Of course, if I knew how to hack, that would have been a much easier route. In Chuck: The Complete Fifth Season on DVD/Blu-Ray's episode, 'Chuck Versus the Hack Off," we were able to see Chuck utilize his computer hacking skills. He was able bypass the security systems that allowed the team to infiltrate and grab the computer super virus famously known as the Omen. Did you see this episode? If so, do you ever wished you had that skill set?

Right now, you can purchase Chuck: The Complete Fifth Season on DVD/Blu-Ray and receive 20% off along with free shipping from the WBShop by using code c5wbwrd.

Ingenious Rubbermaid 2-in-1 Recycler

2012-05-23T18:39:00.000-04:00

The Rubbermaid 2-in-1 Recycler is a great product for those of us who recycle and to be honest, it's handy if you don't. It's a two bin unit that allows you to place trash in one location and recyclables in another or you can use it to sort your recyclables. Sadly, we generate a lot of trash in our family so I actually use a separate can for regular trash and use the bottom of the Rubbermaid 2-in-1 Recycler for recyclables and the top to sort the hundreds of plastic bags from the stores. I reuse those and didn't have a handy place to place them so that is how I'm using it. As you can see from the picture, it's tall and sleek and fits into tiny places. It's Rubbermaid so it's tough and if you are like me, you have trusted the Rubbermaid brand for years.

Some pro's of the Rubbermaid 2-in-1 Recycler:

Each unit lifts out for handy emptying
Removable lids
Fold away handles
Flip out foot panel for bottom unit
Liner Lock on the bottom unit to ensure the trash bag stays in place
13.2 gallon
Easy to clean

I can report zero con's as I instantly started using this when I received it and brought it along my recent move and immediately started at the new house. Overall, I recommend the product and might even buy another one for outside and one for my craft room given the convenience of the two units and the ability to use it for more than just trash.

You can purchase the Rubbermaid 2-in-1 Recycler through Rubbermaid, at an online retailer or at your local store.

Follow Rubbermaid on Twitter, Facebook or on Pinterest.

Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Serum Review

2012-05-22T19:45:00.001-04:00

I am almost obsessed with wrinkles and am not growing older accepting them as much as I should. I wished I had taken better care of my skin as a young adult until a couple of year's ago. It's easy to not look forward when you are younger because it's never going to happen to me mentality kicks in. Now that I'm approaching my 44th birthday, I'm doing all I can to combat wrinkles which is where Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Serum, 1 Ounce in. As a bonus with my participation with Klout, I was able to sample this serum and instantly fell in love with it. I even bought another tube to ensure I have plenty on hand when I use this tube.

Considering the price, it's very reasonable compared to other wrinkle elimination products on the market. It's also more effective than most I have tried. It goes on smooth and clear and doesn't leave a shiny or sticky feel behind. Sometimes I prefer to wear no foundation but some anti-wrinkle products leave behind a shine which I don't like. Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Serum leaves nothing behind but a clean looking face. I'm very happy with it and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to pamper their face and take care of it.

Although not an up close picture, you can somewhat tell that I don't have a ton of wrinkles .. yet!

Disney • Pixar New Brave Clip: “Freedom Broch”

2012-05-22T15:10:00.004-04:00

Are you psyched up for Disney • Pixar's new movie Brave (In Disney Digital 3D™)? We are and cannot wait! Every time we go to the store, we see the bright red headed Merida and my girls get so excited. Jamie, my nine year old, is a red head so there is a special draw. Both my younger girls are adventurous and play like boys so to see this strong female lead is good for them as it shows them they can do what they set their heart and mind to.

Brave starring Kelly Macdonald, Emma Thompson, Billy Connolly, Julie Walters, Kevin McKidd, Craig Ferguson and Robbie Coltrane should be a blockbuster this summer. Here is a little bit about the movie:

Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland. In “Brave,” a new tale joins the lore when the courageous Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald) confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts. Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus (voice of Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (voice of Emma Thompson). Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin (voice of Kevin McKidd), surly Lord Macintosh (voice of Craig Ferguson) and cantankerous Lord Dingwall (voice of Robbie Coltrane). Merida’s actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Witch (voice of Julie Walters) for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before it’s too late. Directed by Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman, and produced by Katherine Sarafian, “Brave” is a grand adventure full of heart, memorable characters and the signature Pixar humor enjoyed by audiences of all ages. The film takes aim at theaters on June 22, 2012, and will be presented in Disney Digital 3D™ in select theaters.

Heritage History: British Empire Review

2012-05-22T00:54:00.002-04:00

History has always been my favorite subject and I remember looking back at how much history was not taught in the school systems I attended. I can't imagine anyone not enjoying history but I'm sure there are. I think history, when taught properly, can be enjoyed by anyone. So many of life's great stories, books and movies center around historical facts. Much of our history comes from England and being that I'm half British, I particularly enjoy British history. This is where Heritage History comes in. They make old-fashioned history books, written for the younger ones, easily available. They provide more of a story book learning approach which to me, is more exciting and captivating. For this review, I was able to receive Heritage History's British Empire.

The British Empire collection focuses on 18th and 19th century world history, with a special emphasis on colonial development. Stories that highlight scientific discovery, exploration, invention and industry are featured, along with those that cover regional histories of Ireland, Canada, British Africa, India, and East Asia.

When you pop in the CD, it has a very nice, detailed list of all options:

New Users
Library
Study Aids
Curriculum
e-Texts

The books are categorized by:

British History
Regional History
Military History
Biography
Legends
Adapted Literature
Historical Fiction

Now, what is extra nice about this CD, it provides the opportunity to read via PDFs or to download to some readers such as a Kindle which I have. I can tell you that the first PDF I opened was about Queen Victoria who I've been fascinated by. Being able to read an older book was sheer pleasure to me because I almost feel the older books are more true to form. I love the magnitude of book titles offered and the fact that as my children grow, this curriculum will meet their needs based on their maturity and level of understanding.

The curriculum guides are brilliant in that they provide a user guide in starting out and other guides to further your confidence in teaching and guiding your children. From topics such as Britain Outline to British Empire Battles to Weekly Reader Outline, there are so many tools and resources to give your child an abundance of worthwhile knowledge that is captivating yet educational. I believe when children read, they pick up wonderful skills such as an increase in vocabulary, an understanding of grammar and much more. It's an all around educational tool to teach about history and more.

I definitely am a fan of Heritage History's British Empire and will be purchasing other editions.

The British Empire includes 57 books, 50+ maps, teaching aids, and a Study Guide for only $24.99.

You can purchase the entire 5 volume set, The World History Collection, for $99.99 which is a savings of $25 if bought individually.

Visit their website at http://www.heritage-history.com/ for more information.

Mamavation Monday

2012-05-21T15:29:00.001-04:00

It's been awhile since I posted and I know I shouldn't go that long because I really enjoy the encouragement from all the wonderful women of Mamavation. I've had my oldest daughter visiting and she's been my strength and sometimes my pitfall on continuing to get healthy. Sometimes I forget it's about getting healthier versus being deprived of those processed filled foods even though they sure do taste great. I'm still down my 32 pounds I lost since last June and still have plenty of toning to do. I was running three miles a day but after I had a terrible cold that lasted three weeks, I find it's hard to get back there. I'm trying to run two and walk one along with biking and counting calories.

I'm also trying to get more active by taking the girls out. We are venturing out on vacation trips to utilize the time we have together. This picture was taken among the most beautiful white sand dunes I have ever seen. I think the girls had more exercising than I but I did try to run around a bit to use up some calories.

All in all, I'm still continuing my journey and although I've had some hiccups, I jump back up and try, try again!

Honey Bunches of Oats Review & 4 Boxes Giveaway (1 Winner) 6/9

2012-05-21T14:49:00.001-04:00

My girls are predictable when it comes to breakfast and that means they love their cereal and that's about it. They eat cereal every morning with a couple of exceptions but it's few and far between. I confess that they never ate Post Honey Bunches of Oats until I had the opportunity to review a box from my participation with Purex as an Insider. This morning, I encouraged them to give it a try and in between chews, all I heard was "mmmmmm" and "this is good!" My oldest, who is 23, also loves this cereal which I did not know. She's visiting for a few weeks and was happy to help eat it.

What I learned about Honey Bunches of Oats, they have 10 grams of whole grain per serving. Nutritionists recommend eating three or more servings per day which is about 16 grams per serving. This is a great way in accomplishing that goal. Honey Bunches of Oats also provides 9 essential vitamins and minerals and brings together four nutritious grains into crispy flakes and more crunch granola bunches. Who doesn't like crunch right?

Don't take my kid's word for it, enter to win FOUR boxes! One winner will receive four coupons for up to $4.49 each.

Beyond Coastal Sunscreen Review & Giveaway 5/31

2012-05-19T19:39:00.001-04:00

My girls love the outdoors and I think they get that from me. I've always been one to prefer being outside than inside or at least until computers became an addiction. Actually, it's not that addicting as I have no problem turning it off to get some sunshine. One of our new favorite places we found is a little unknown place in New Mexico called White Sands Monument. It's gorgeous and beyond words. It has beautiful white sand dunes nestled near the mountains with abundant sunshine. It's a mecca for those wanting to capture the beauty and for those wanting to sled down those same dunes. I have a fair skinned red head so I had to be very careful and not let her burn which is where I definitely had to use sunscreen. I just happened to recently receive a complimentary supply of various Beyond Coastal products.

In case you have not heard of Beyond Coastal, they are a true broad-spectrum of protection packed with moisturizing botanical anti-oxidants that not only nourish your skin but also repairs and hydrates. The Natural Formula Sunscreen provides 100% natural sunscreen protection from UVA rays with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. As a sunscreen with 30+, it effectively blocks 97% of UVB rays.

When we went to the White Sands park, I used the Natural Sunscreen Kids and the Active Face Stick along with the lip balm. I've actually used it many other times as well. The stick went on nice and easy unlike some that seem to grab the skin and pull to effectively leave some behind on the face. It wasn't greasy and Natural Clear Sunscreen was perfect in not leaving behind that ghostly white appearance. I really liked the stick since I didn't have to use my hands for application. I did find that I was able to remove the other sunscreen types from my hands without having that sticky, greasy feeling.

The lip balm is amazing! For some reason, I have had to endure chapped lips a lot along with my oldest daughter. Nothing was effective in stopping it long term until I started using the Active Lip Balm and now my lips are finally not chapped!

Here is the result: No Sunburn!!!
