#DisneyPlanes Movie – In Theaters August 9th

PLANES

This looks cute, right? From above the world of “Cars” comes “Disney’s Planes,” an action-packed 3D animated comedy adventure featuring Dusty (voice of Dane Cook), a plane with dreams of competing as a high-flying air racer. But Dusty’s not exactly built for racing—and he happens to be afraid of heights. So he turns to a seasoned naval … [Read more...]

Has anyone actually noticed that I've been quiet the last few days?  Normally you can't shut me up! Man, what a whirlwind the last few days have been! We got back home last night after 5 days back down in Orlando for a press trip with Hanes. I can say without reservation that this was our best trip to Disney and Orlando that we have had as a … [Read more...]

dialkids

Considering that my kids are 9 & 6, we're well past due updating the fact that I still give them Baby Shampoo when they get in the shower.  Truly it was just a force of habit but we've now broken the habit thanks to some samples we received from a new line of products from Dial - Dial Kids Body & Hair Wash. My boys are testing out all … [Read more...]

Knowing that I was going to have my kids in one space for close to eight hours while I hosted a work event last weekend, I knew I had to bring out the big guns for entertainment.  Cole (6) had been seeing the commercials for Luigi's Mansion - Dark Moon, a new game from Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS and I ended up caving and buying it for both boys … [Read more...]

The Pigeon is 10! {A Favorite Children’s Character Turns 10!}

One of our ALL TIME favorite children's books is Mo Willems' Don't Let the Pigeon Drive The Bus!(Amazon, $14.91) I can't tell you guys how many times I've read this aloud to my kids.  On preschool days where the parent would have to go in and read a book? That was it.  The teachers loved it and the reactions from the kids was always so funny and … [Read more...]

20130404-123224.jpg

My 6 year old infomercial junkie is in love with his new Monster Shamzee, can you tell?  Shamzee is empty until it "eats" a pillow and becomes a stuffed animal for your child to play with. Choose from six unique Shamzees (unicorn, ladybug, tiger, poodle, bulldog or green monster) - they all fit a standard sized 20" x 26"ť bed pillow.  Some of … [Read more...]

Affordable Headphones from Target for Your Spring & Summer Travels

targetheadphones

Ear buds just don't cut it in my kids ears for whatever reason. They won't stay; the kids pull them out; they don't like they way they feel, etc. So my 9 year old has been using some Skull Candy headphones for awhile but they are too big for my 6 year old. Then, in a nice timely manner, we got these Kidz Gear Volume Limit Headphones (Target, … [Read more...]

Forgot How Much I Love Regular Yogurt: Trying Out Koru Yoghurt @KoruDairy

koru

One of my go-to snacks for awhile now has been plain Greek yogurt. I don't know when Greek Yogurt became a *thing* but we all know it's a popular option in the dairy aisle at your grocery store these days! I usually have a little plain with some honey and I'm good to go. But recently, I checked out Koru Dairy - creamery style yoghurt - and I was … [Read more...]
