Celebrate Easter With Build A Bear and Hop

March 27, 2012

Easter is just right around the corner and everyone will be cuddling with bunnies and chicks. It’s what Easter is all about, oh and finding eggs too.

The movie Hop came out in theaters last year and is coming to dvd March 23, 2012. Hop is about E.B Bunny who is destined to take over as the Easter bunny, but all he wants to do is rock out on the drums. He goes to Hollywood to peruse his dream.

So when you pick up your copy of Hop for a Easter basket, pick up E.B Bunny from Build A Bear Workshop for your child to cuddle up with while watching the movie.

E.B Bunny is so cute and soft, he is a great addition to any easter basket. His clothes are what really makes him look like the character from the movie without them he just doesn’t seem the same. I received E.B Bunny from Build A Bear Workshop for review and my kids just love him.

My kids have been watching the movie while cuddling with this little guy and they can’t get enough of him.

You can buy Eb Bunny from Build a Bear Workshop for $23.00 and his clothes are available for $10.50

Easter Idea: Creativity Matters with Crayola GiveawayClosed

March 25, 2012

I love when my kids draw or build things, it shows their creativity and imagination.

Creativity is something every child can learn and express on their own, it helps them get ready for the future and beyond. Creativity is not about who´s the best artists or becoming an architect. It´s a way of thinking that encourages kids´ original ideas and develops their confidence.

We received a Crayola prize pack to get our creative minds rolling.

My first Crayola Washable crayons, markers and stampers- .

Crayola Mess Free Color Wonder Tiny Tube-

Crayola Crystal Effect Window Markers

Crayola Washable Kaleidoscope Chalk

Crayola Dry Erase Crayons

Crayola Dual Sided Dry Erase Board

We absolutely loved all of these Crayola products, my favorite was the My First Crayola because they are perfect for my sons little hands. So much easier for him to draw his pictures. My daughters loved the 3D chalk, they drew on the side walk and then it came to life. The red stood out more than any other color. The window markers are fun to use and easy to clean off, but we didn’t go to crazy with it just in case. The dry erase markers and board, really come in use in my house. My daughters use them for homework problems, but the only downside is that when you erase there is still a residue. It does not come off very well.

Crayola held a “Inside The Crayola Box” event with Lisa Loeb, where she shared her insights and her kids creativity.

I have a Crayola Prize pack to giveaway to one reader. One US reader will win all the same items i received.

To enter: Tell me your child’s favorite Crayola product?

A Way To Show You Care

March 22, 2012

A Guest Post By Katie Baldesweiler

It’s always hard to shop for people. Those celebration days come around every year. Whether it’s Christmas, a birthday, a wedding or a baby shower, you find yourself pondering, “What should I get Linda?” or “What gift would Bob like?” I know I spend hours in the stores, walking through aisle after aisle, fingering through the unoriginal products and items. Every shopping trip, I leave empty-handed because I just can’t get behind a purchase. I don’t feel like it’s worth it. So after wasting gas and my time, I am just frustrated and without a gift.

I always thought that do-it-yourself gifting was so thoughtful and meaningful. The Internet offers a great way to browse through cute DIY blogs and websites with information and tutorials on how to make your own presents. But with a 9 to 5 job, it’s hard to find time to put something together like that.

We all know that the way to someones heart is through their stomach. Cliché, but true. I find great joy in baking and cooking for others. I think that says a lot about me as a person, too. It’s easy to see the common trend here; I like to give things to people that are from the heart.

I always found gift baskets to be a such a great concept. I remember the carnival my elementary school had and they raffled off these fabulous gift baskets that every homeroom classroom made. My dad stuffed the cans of a few of the baskets and what do you know, we went home with TWO! We won an “Italian-themed” gift basket full of pasta and spices. And a “bakers-themed” gift basket full of all the supplies you need to start your own bakery.

Feeling sentimental, I scoured the Internet for a place that could help me out with a gift basket and I found http://www.gourmetgiftbaskets.com. With countless themes including “cupcake”, “gardening”, and “spa and pamper” how could you go wrong? I’ve got this site bookmarked for the next time I am stumped and have no clue what to get for my Aunt June.

Native Trails Pure Talavera Tiles Coaster Set

February 4, 2012

Handmade by artisans, Native Trials’ Pure Talavera is the gift that gives back. The ceramic tiles are handmade and used traditional methods. Beautiful and colorful they are 4″ square tiles sold in sets of 4.

****We have a dining table and coffee table that are dark wood and stain very easily. Every drink and hot food leaves marks on my tables, so we have been looking of coasters. All the coasters I have found in stores have been cheap and break or fall apart very easily. The Pure Talavera are so beautiful and are perfect. We have been using these coasters non stop for our drinks and food.

Native Trails Pure Talavera are very thick and are great for holding and kind of cups. I even received a bigger size of coaster, which I absolutely love because now I can put my pots on the table without having to worry about it leaving rings. You do have to be careful with these because they are ceramic, but other than that I have nothing bad to say. I love these!

Retail: 2 6″ coasters #39.00, 4 4″ coasters $49.00 at Native Trails

Rating: 10

Valentines Day Gifts For Her Bormioli Rocco Plates and Bowls

January 27, 2012

The fine tradition of the Bormioli Rocco Group coincides with the very history of glass: the first glassworks was established in Parma in 1825. The company has always demonstrated a great drive to pioneer innovation: in machinery, materials and design. Over the years it has developed a special talent, that of combining time-honoured craftsmanship and the passion of master glassmakers with modern industrial processes. Bormioli Rocco is the leading company in its sector in Italy and a great ambassador of the Made in Italy label on international markets. Respect for tradition, passion for good taste and constant research and innovation are Bormioli Rocco’s milestones to create products that meet the needs of the consumers.

***Bermiolo Rocco plates and bowls are so beautiful. When I received these, my first thought was I don’t even want to use these for dinner. They are just to nice. I did notice that these are very fragile and can break so easily. The plate was very thin and just putting my fork on it left a small scratch. The bowl is sturdier and is the perfect size for portion control.

Retail: Plates are $77.57 for a set of 12 and bowls are $53.45 for a set of 12.

Disclosure: No compensation was received for this post, a product (1) not a full set was provided for my review. All opinions are my own.
