Try it Thursday & Review {Fisher Price Giggle Gang Giveaway}

2012-05-17T07:52:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone! It is"Try it Thursday & Review,"and today I have a special giveaway for one of my lucky readers.
Fisher-Price has a new collection calledGiggle Gang .

About Giggle Gang:

Let me introduce these fun loving creatures...In the Giggle Gang, there is Pinky (Pink), Goldie (yellow), Curly (blue), Fuzzy (Orange), Kiwi (green) and Terry (purple),. Each toy has its unique laughter and definitely would make you and your little one smile.

"Few things make our hearts smile like the sound of a laughter! It's infectious. Fisher-Price has captured babies' laughter in an adorable, new collection called the Giggle Gang: soft, plush characters that giggle when baby squeezes or shakes them. Each of the six Giggle Gang characters has its own unique giggle and is round in shape and the perfect, plush texture for baby to grasp and hold. Perfect for ages 6 mos + and priced at $12.99 (batteries included), the Giggle Gang characters will keep babies (and parents!) smiling all day long."
In my opinion:
I love the new Fisher-Price Giggle Gang collection. These toys are perfect for your little guy or gal. They have a contagious laugh and are super soft. Each one is unique in style, color, laughter, fabric, etc. My son Eli couldn't stop smiling when I showed him Curly (blue) and Kiwi (green). And the character's names are so original and creative. Why not buy one of these precious characters for a baby shower gift. Or give to your son or daughter to have on a long drive. Every child needs a friend to laugh with. They also teach about cause and effect and sensory skills. These Giggle Gang characters are the perfect toy so be sure to check out the Fisher-Price Giggle Gang collection.

Eli doesn't normally smile this big but he couldn't resist with his new friend, Kiwi. The Giggle Gang collection is very contagious. Even my husband loved them. I definitely recommend that you check out the Fisher-Price Giggle Gang collection. Your baby will be happy that you did!

One of my lucky readers will win one of the Giggle Gang characters(FYI: This is a Rafflecopter giveaway).

Bringing a smile to Utah

2012-05-15T07:33:00.000-07:00

National Smile Month is coming to Utah, as West Family Dental will be holding a special event to back the international campaign.

To show their support, the team from West Family Dental in Murray Utah, will be holding a 'Best Smile in Utah' contest from May 1 through May 30, 2012 that aims to put the smile into National Smile Month. By holding the contest on their facebook page, the team hope to raise awareness of how important oral health is. The grand prize is $4000 worth of free dental procedure(s) for the winner's friend, family member, or themselves, plus a $250 gift card.

Dr West from West Family Dental said: “National Smile Month is an excellent opportunity to bring an element of fun to a serious issue.

“Good oral health is vital for a healthy smile as well as a healthy body, and we’ll be spreading that message at our facebook page via the contest.”

The Foundation’s Chief Executive Dr Nigel Carter said: “I’m delighted that West Family Dental has joined the many schools, colleges, health professionals and other dental practices in engaging with National Smile Month. It is a great reflection of local community spirit and an excellent way to promote good oral health.

“Taking place from May 1 to May 30, the campaign is an ideal opportunity to learn about oral health in a fun and positive way.

“By making an event as fun and imaginative as possible, we hope it will inspire more people to join in the fun than ever before while delivering the Foundation’s three key messages for good oral health of brush for two minutes twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste, cut down on how often you have sugary foods and drinks and visit the dentist regularly – as often as they recommend.”

For more information please visit www.danwestdmd.com, and/or their facebook page: facebook.com/bestsmileutah

Editor’s Notes

The British Dental Health Foundation is an independent charity that along with its global arm, the International Dental Health Foundation, is dedicated to improving the oral health of the public by providing free and impartial dental advice, by running educational campaigns like National Smile Month and by informing and influencing the public, profession and government on issues such as mouth cancer awareness and water fluoridation.

National Smile Month was established in 1977 and is the UK’s biggest annual oral health campaign. The campaign is sponsored by headline sponsors Wrigley, Listerine, Oral-B and Steradent. The campaign runs in the UK from 20 May to 20 June 2012 is also being supported by Aldi, Argos, Bupa, Dencover, Denplan, Lloyds Pharmacy, Save Water Save Money, SleepRight, Smile-on and Wilkinson. The campaign promotes three key messages for great oral health:

Brush your teeth for two minutes twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste;

Cut down on how often you have sugary foods and drinks;

Visit your dentist regularly, as often as they recommend.

Try it Tuesday & Review {Genesis Code Giveaway}

2012-05-15T07:07:00.000-07:00

Welcome to"Try it Tuesday & Review,"where I get to share with you information and my opinion on different products. Today, I have a wonderful DVD to share with you. It is calledThe Genesis Code

About the movie:

Kerry Wells (Kelsey Sanders), a college journalist and committed Christian with an effervescent personality, has been assigned to do a story on Blake Truman (Logan Bartholomew) the college’s newest and very popular hockey superstar. As a relationship between them begins to develop Kerry finds that Blake, who hides behind a tough and independent facade, is actually struggling through a difficult personal crisis and that he bears the cross of a secret he has kept hidden for years. Blake rebuffs Kerry's suggestion that prayer might help ease his burden; he is convinced that modern science completely disproves the Bible, especially the opening verses of Genesis. Kerry — who is herself suddenly confronted with a challenge to her faith on another front — sets out to prove that science and Genesis are not in conflict and her quest leads to a startling revelation. Could it be that what science teaches us about creation and the Story as told in Genesis are both true!

In my opinion:

This movie was very interesting. The story gave a different perspective on the book of Genesis. It is a film that compares the creation to the big bang theory. Basically, it is a story that explores the relationship between science and faith. I never understood why so many people have to find a science explanation on why we are here and where did we come from. It is quite simple to me. My parents taught me to have faith in God and to constantly learn about the gospel. Since I was young, I believed in God and the bible. Now that I'm older, I still believe in Heavenly Father and I continue to study his word. I'm so glad I had the opportunity of reviewing The Genesis Code. It reminded me of how simple the creation is and that God hears and answers our prayers. Overall, The Genesis Code was a remarkable film.

I'm excited to announce that one of my readers will have the chance to win a copy of The Genesis Code.

Wonderful Wednesdays Review {Hapari}

2012-05-09T06:59:00.000-07:00

Today for"Wonderful Wednesday's Review {Giveaway},"I wanted to share with you a company called

Have you ever heard about Hapari?

"Hapari Swimwear enhances the curves you love and hides the curves you don't. We make modest swimwear and tankinis that are stylish and comfortable for all body types. With Hapari's new line of tankini swimwear we've improved upon the things women have traditionally disliked about modest swimsuits. Using our special style tabs, most tankini's can be worn 3 different ways; halter, tank and criss cross. Women's swimwear is our specialty. Shop figure flattering tankinis, one piece swimsuits, bikinis, and bottoms. We have the perfect swimwear for you!

It’s our mission at Hapari to help women everywhere feel attractive in their swimwear by offering stylish tankinis, bikinis, one piece swimsuits, and bottoms.

Are you ready for summer to begin? Are you looking for modest swimwear?

Well, Hapari's 2012 swimwear recently arrived which includes the Zebra V-Neck Tankini, Belize SOS Tankini and the Kona Twist Tankini.

Hapari Swimwear collection is designed "just for you."

Check out Hapari's women's full swimsuit line. There is something for everyone!

I was given the opportunity of reviewing their products.

I chose the

ISLAND MOCHA SPORT ONE PIECE SWIMSUIT

and the

TURQUOISE STRAIGHT SKIRT WITH POCKETS

In my opinion...

I absolutely love Hapari's swimwear! Their products are well made and adorable. The turquoise skirt was a perfect length and fit well. I also loved the pockets. I was very impressed. I don't normally purchase clothes from the internet. However, I checked out Hapari's sizing chart. Then I measured myself and ordered. It was easy and shipping was super fast. The Island Mocha One Piece bathing suit was comfortable and flattering. I loved the floral print design.

Also, I checked out Hapari's "secrets." Did I mention earlier that most of their suits can be worn three different ways? I had no idea! What a relief. So, I investigated my one piece swimsuit and sure enough there were two loops on the back of the bathing suit. How amazing! There is so much variation. I love Hapari! Here are the three different ways...

Also, "every tankini has secret pockets for silicone breast inserts called "illusions." Hapari creators thought of everything to make women feel beautiful in their bathing suit. Thank you Hapari!

Try it Tuesday & Review {My First Crayola Giveaway}

2012-05-08T07:23:00.002-07:00

Hey everyone! It is another wonderful week of
"Try it Tuesday & Review."

I had the special opportunity of reviewing

What is Crayola all about?
"When you ignite the spark of creativity early in life, children go on to do magnificent things! The dots and dashes, squiggles and colorful, random marks young children make are the seeds of creativity -- a skill that’s essential for success in school and in jobs of the future. Creativity matters and Crayola can help your little one develop and express that skill from an early age.

When you encourage your children to grow and develop through their first art experiences, some very important developmental milestones happen. Large and fine motor skills like hand-eye coordination begin to develop, as well as self-confidence and early literacy skills. As significant as their first words, a child’s first scribbles represent the beginning of their journey for symbolic communication that’s needed to develop reading and writing skills.
When children discover that they can make a mark, their desire to create is unleashed. And that’s where the fun and joyful moments begin for parent and child. Crayola wants all children to be creatively alive and so they’re helping parents begin the journey with a new line of products called My First Crayola™.
The My First Crayola line includes specially designed art supplies and activities for children as young as 12 months and features three inspiring ways through which little hands can create - with art tools, mess-free activities and creative activities that feature dry-erase crayons and music."

Here are a few tips from Crayola...

Tips on How to Celebrate Your Child’s First Scribbles
The first colorful mark your child creates is a milestone to be celebrated! Crayola’s child development expert Cheri Sterman offers tips on how to use wonderful, together-time moments to encourage a child’s development and sense of discovery.

Build their vocabulary. Not sure what to say about the page of dots or dashes your child created? Describe the colors and shapes you see to help your child add new words to their vocabulary.
Tell me about your picture? Children’s drawings are their first communication well before they can read and write. Ask your child to tell you about the drawing they create. That blue blob you’re looking at may be a puppy, an elephant or a tiger. It’s OK for the same blue blob to mean something different tomorrow. Resist the urge to tell your child what you see and listen to their interpretation.
Focus on the process. Pudding paintings and rhythmically dotting colors on paper are part of the important journey to eventually creating more recognizable drawings. Emphasize the enjoyment of the process more than the end result. The actual work is not as important as the joy your child felt when creating it.
Creative confidence. As your child grows into the toddler years, and their scribbles take shape creative confidence begins to bloom. One of the best responses to your child’s artwork is, “Let’s hang it on the refrigerator together.”

Check out some of the products in the new My First Crayola™ line!

Art Tools

My First Crayola™ Washable Crayons, Markers and Stampers are designed to fit neatly in a toddler’s palm, and are just the right size and shape for a child to create their first artistic expression. For children age 12 mos +.

Triangular Crayons & Washable Markers
My First Crayola™ art tools progress from easy-to-grasp washable crayons, marker holders and stampers, to triangular shaped crayons that guide a child’s hand into a proper writing grip. The shape also makes it easier for little ones to draw in a more purposeful and controlled way. For children age 24 mos +.

Mess-Free Activities
Toddlers can have clean, colorful and creative fun with My First Crayola Mess-Free Marker & Paper and My First Crayola™ Mess-Free Fingerpaint and Paper. When used on magic mess-free paper, special markers and fingerpaints instantly reveal colorful patterns with no mess on skin, walls or fabric. Mess-Free Marker & Paper is recommended for children age 12 mos. + and Mess-Free Finger Paint for children 24 mos. +.

With the My First Crayola Mess-Free2-in-1 Doodle Board, little ones can enjoy twice the fun without all the mess. With no ink, paint or paper required, the double-sided board allows for reusability and endless creative doodling. The “water drawing” surface magically reveals bold colors, providing little ones with lots of space to create with the refillable water pen. Flip it over to the sealed gel painting surface and children will get the feel of finger painting, but without the paint and the mess. For children age 24 mos +.

Creative Activities
My First Crayola Washable Dry-Erase Activity Mat is perfect for colorful on-the-go creativity. It features 12 activities that slide into place on the mat so little ones can draw, erase and draw again using washable My First Crayola Washable Triangular Dry-Erase Crayons. The crayons’ triangular shape guides little fingers into a writing grip, so toddlers can more easily trace and create broad sweeps of color. The mat folds up easily and features convenient carrying handles and built-in storage. For children age 24 mos +.

Your child will be captivated with surprising sounds while creating adorable farm-themed artwork with the My First Crayola Washable Musical Rub-Art Station! Select one of the dual-sided rubbing plates, place it in the frame with paper and then watch your toddler create a scene with the character rubbing tool. The crayon rubbing activates music and animal sounds for toddlers to enjoy while they create. For children age 24 mos +.

For more clean and creative fun, bring home My First Crayola Bath Crayons and Canvas and transform your bathtub into an art studio. The cute character-shaped, bath crayons are designed for little ones to easily grasp in their palm. Watch their creativity flow as your little one draws on the two-sided canvas. The canvas adheres to the tub wall and rinses clean for use again and again, with one side featuring a cute design to be filled in with color and the other, blank for free scribbling. Two crayon refills come with each set For children age 12 mos +.

What was my experience with My First Crayola tools?

When the package arrived, Eli and I were thrilled to open it. We were pretty spoiled! There were so many fun products to get our little fingers on. We were ready to play and create. Here is what we received...

I decided that it would be fun to share our new products with our friends, Emily and Jaymeson. Of course, it was hard to wait so we took out the My First Crayola Washable Dry-Erase Activity Mat. The Dry-Erase Activity Mat was easy to use and perfect for my little guy. It included four washable crayons and 12 pages to color, erase and color again. Eli was used to coloring the page so I had to explain to him the rules, "There are no rules! Be creative and have fun." Here are a few photos of Eli:

He was so excited!

Yesterday, we went over to Emily and Jaymeson's home to play. Emily had some Crayola washable paints so we had fun exploring. This was Eli's first time with paint so you could imagine the messes. Mommy to the rescue!

Jaymeson loved the My First Crayola™ Washable Stampers. I loved how easy they were to use.

Overall, the products were perfect for our little guys. Thank goodness they were washable because Eli got real messy. I absolutely love My First Crayola and appreciate them for sharing their wisdom on how we as parents may "ignite the spark of creativity early in life." Thanks Crayola!

In my opinion...
Python printable games has a lot of great ideas for parties, holidays, baby showers, etc. The company offers a variety of fun games and activities for the entire family. My favorite games were the British food trivia and the Mother's Day Tidy-up scavenger hunt. The British game was fun because my husband is from England. It was exciting to match the food to its description. It was also fun to quiz my husband. The Mother's Day Tidy-up scavenger hunt was a great idea for moms to relax while their family members clean up the home. What a great idea! I also liked the Mother May I game and I always love a wonderful keepsake. Python products are perfect for everyone. They are downloaded to your computer for you to keep forever. And some of the printables are suitable for kids to entertain themselves while mom relaxes. What a perfect Sunday!
And the best part is...
If you sign up for their newsletter, they will give you 30 pages of free printables, and exclusive coupons and freebies every month. Also, be sure to follow them on twitter and facebook.

Thank you so much for your support.
