Happy Halloween

October 31, 2009

Happy Halloween everyone. Have a great time with your little ones/

Please please please keep in mind some safety tips

Always stay with your child. If your child id under the age of 13 I don’t they should be with an adult. (with all the kids being snatched lately, never be to precautious)

Make sure your child is wearing a jacket. Yes it may cover their costume, but it’s cold.

Always check your childs candy before they eat it, even when your walking around Trick or treating. Throw unwrapped candy away, you don’t know where it’s been. (Probably in the hands of someone with H1N1 and your child does not need that.)

Keep your bag of candy closed and close to you. Yes people do still bag snatch.

So some of these tips maybe off the wall, but I’m only 25 it wasn’t to long ago I was a Trick or Treater. So I know what can happen.

Swiffer Goes Pink for Breast Cancer Awarness

October 31, 2009

Swiffer products have gone pink for October, to support breast cancer awareness. Breast cancer awareness is very dear to my heart having my grandmothers survive this horrible disease.

Swiffer Sweeper-is two solutions in one. A sweeper(used with dry cloths) which pick up more hair and dirt then a broom. It’s also a mop(used with wet cloths) To trap in dirt and grime giving you a deeper clean, and then locking it away forever. No more messy mop and bucket. Plus the swivel head gives you a better reach for those unreachable places. like behind the toilet or in corners. You can even use it to clean walls or appliances, and under furniture.

Swiffer duster has thousands of cleaning fibers, to remove up to 90% of allergens. It traps and locks in dust, 50% better than other dusters. The fibers change shape to reach into those nooks and cranies.

***I finally got to try these products and I’m so excited. I always wanted too. These products are so convienant and easy to use, especially for a mom with no time.(Get it no time mommy). no messes with buckets, dust pans, and brooms. Just attach a cloth and sweep or mop. Plus there was so much more dirt then I had ever seen. We cleaned my ceiling fan with the duster and it was so nice to not have dust falling to the floor.

Retail price:$10.99 for starter kit

Spongebob Connect 4 game review

October 30, 2009

From manufacturer:Play your favorite four-in-a-row game the Bikini Bottom way! Drop your checkers into the yellow and porous grid and try to make a line upwards, sideways, or diagonal. Block your opponent with checkers–or use your Spongebob Blocker to block many holes at once! But look out–if your opponent’s checkers stack to the top of the grid, they can take away your SpongeBob Blocker! If you get four checkers in a row before your opponent –you win!

*****This game is a lot of fun, just like the classic connect 4. This one the pieces have Spongebob and Patrick on them. The game tower even has Spongebobs face on it. My kids are a little younger than the recommended age, but they understood how to play and had a blast.

Retail price: $18.99

for ages 6 and up

Rating:9

I also received Pictureka, Crazy Old Fish War,Monopoly Deal, Littlest Pet Shop Go Fish, Scrabble Slam and Rook.

***The card games are a little out of age range for my kids. My daughters really enjoyed Littlest pet shop go fish. Go fish Go fish is all I hear now. These would make perfect stocking stuffer for the holiday season.

Retail value: $4.99-$6.99

rating:7

Holiday Gift Guide: Boon Animal Bag

October 30, 2009

31sfQRBIaVL__SL160_AA115_

The Animal Bag is an oversized, plush bag covered with large, zippered windows made out of transparent, durable mesh. Children can fill the bag with stuffed animals of all sizes, then use the Animal Bag as a soft seat. Made from high-quality, breathable fabrics. Machine wash or dry clean.

***This bag Can fit a lot of Stuffed animals, We had a full dorm fridge box full, and almost all of them fit. My kids love how soft it is and you can jump and sit on it. I didn’t expect it to be that big though. I can’t find anywhere in my kids room to put it. I have to admit though it’s better than having stuffed animals laying everywhere. This is a must have for getting your childs room organized and clean.

Ernie is trying to get out!

Retail value:$59.99 at Boon

Relating to the new show The Middle

October 30, 2009

Have you seen “The Middle” yet on ABC. Frankie dresses up as a super hero for her sons classroom, but shows up on the wrong day.

The only thing I can think of that I’ve done thats ridiculous for my daughter at school is just be over supportive. I always want to be involved in everything, and I am the first mom to turn papers, money etc. in. Now there are times where my child has embarrassed me. Just like another scene from the first episode of the middle. Brick lies to his mom about what day to be there. My DD will tell me something, and i’ll confront the teacher, only for her to tell the teacher it wasn’t true.

does this look like your family?
