Friends With Kids #Friendswithkids

March 6, 2012

Friends With Kids is a daring and poignant ensemble comedy
about a close-knit circle of friends at that moment in life when children
arrive and everything changes. The last two singles in the group observe
the effect that kids have had on their friends’ relationships and wonder if
there’s a better way. They decide to have a kid together – and date other
people.

Friends With Kids will hit theaters March 9, 2012

Mega Bloks Police Fire Patrol rescue Set

March 1, 2012

All missions are possible when you team up with the two Rescue vehicles of the Blok Squad Fire Patrol Rescue! Build the Fire Rescue Pumper Truck and roar through the streets of Bloktropolis with sirens blaring, carrying hundreds of gallons of water to help put out a fire. Have your Blok Squad Firefighters hook up their hoses and put out fires in even the most remote areas of Bloktropolis! Construct the Fire Patrol ATV and have your Blok Squad Firefighter ride through the toughest terrains to reach any country or city fire!

***** When we first received this set, my son would not stop begging for it to get put together. He wants to be a Fireman when he grows up, so as you can imagine this has become one of his new favorite toys. The set is really cute, you have a fire truck that opens up to store little axes. And you can also build a small ATV, both have places for the Firemen to sit. My only complaint is that it fell apart easily, which was to expected since they are blocks. So I have rebuilt it about 35 times in the past month. LOL!

Retail: $9.99

Back To School:dENiZEN from Levi’s Jeans

August 9, 2011

dENiZEN is a new brand of Jeans by trusted and loved company Levis. These jeans are exclusively available at Target Stores and online at Target. With a wide variety of styles for men, women, and kids, dENiZEN jeans are the perfect fit for fashion and value-concious consumers.

****I received a pair of dENiZEN Jeans for my daughter to try for back to school. I really liked them! My daughter usually can’t wear jeans,because she seems to be a halfway size, either they are to big or to small. She tried on the dENiZEN and they fit perfectly, they were just a little to long which is fine. According to my daughter they are very pretty and comfy. I wish I would have chose these for myself.

She can move around in them very easily and they are not to tight on her body, which is great for wearing at school or on the playground.

Right now if you like dENiZEN on Facebook you can win a rebate ($3), a free pair of Jeans, or a gift card. I think most people have won a rebate.

You can find dENiZEN jeans at Target ranging from $17.99-$29.99

Get Outdoors and Explore with Backyard Safari

June 30, 2011

The Expedition Three kit features the Backyard Safari Base Camp Field Shelter. It features storage spaces for all your Essential Field Gears. Over 40 inches tall, it’s large enough for several backyard safari kids to set up their own instant base camp in the field, all year round.

We were able to have some fun outdoor (pretend) camping and hiking fun. We received a base tent with lantern, a camoflauge net, walking stick and magnifying glass. My kids were so excited to get these. They immediately got a pad of paper out and started their field journals. They used the magnifying glass to spot small insects, and would hide in the tent to wait for squirels. The walking stick is great for hiking around but it’s a little big for them to use. They actually try to use it more for a hitting stick than walking stick. Everything is very durable, and the tent is also waterproof, it seems to rain whenever I set it up.

Visit http://www.backyardsafari.com/ to find your fun gear.

Base Tent is available through Amazon for $39.99

Mega Bloks Domino Build Game Review

March 4, 2011

Product Description: Mega Bloks Domino Build Game utilizes simple domino and building game play to introduce multiple skill sets such as colors, numbers, matching, motor skills, etc. Players collect animal blocks after correctly matching domino tiles. Be the first player to collect all 4 animal part blocks and assemble your animal to win.

**** This game was fun for my little ones, but it seemed a little to easy. My 5 yr old zipped through it and won every game. The object is to line up the animal cards, kind of like dominoes. Everytime you get one right you get a piece of your Mega Blok animal. First one to build the animal wins, but there are only 4 pieces. My kids still had fun playing even though every game ended with one of my kids being upset they didn’t win.

Retail:$10.99 at Amazon.com

Shox Scooter For Those Awesome Tricks

August 24, 2010

Shred Sled , The comapny specializing in extreme sports products for children introduces the Shox Scooter, The first everactive shock absorber scooter that allows riders to perform higher, faster, more awesome tricks! The Shox scooter’s supreme shocks increase a riders speed and airtime, making stunts bigger and better.

Features:

Spring deck that absorbs impact when landing jumps and stunts, also springs back to increase riders power.
Deck has a rough grip for foot control, and back brake helps with control and safety.
handles adjust to fit children of all sizes
Folds in half for easy traveling and is also lightweight.

**** This scooter was a lot more than i expected. Now my kids are still a little young to be doing tricks, but they love the scooter. My daughter says its so much easier than riding a bike, and the her leg is getting to much exercise. It also so much easier to bring to the park, we don’t have a driveway and live on a ver busy road. So the park is the place to ride bikes, but we can’t fit three bikes in a car. This folds up for easy traveling, and can even adjust to fit all of my children.

Retail:$59.99 at www.ShredSled.com
