In their house, we were limited to a very few TV viewing choices: Golf, bowling, or Nickelodeon. Obviously, we chose Nick as often as possible. Watching professional golf and bowling was incredibly boring, and to be avoided at all costs.
One of our favorite shows was definitely "Hey Dude." This series was definitely a lot of fun, and we loved following the adventures of the Bar None Ranch crew! I think my little brother actually had a crush on the ranch hand, Lucy, but I can't be too sure. He'd never admit to it now!

We absolutely love this series, especially the emphasis on blended families. It's nice to see a modern family portrayed in a kids' show, since so many families include step-parents and siblings. Ours, included! You'd never know my oldest was Dan's step-son if you saw them together, though!
Anyway, my kids were absolutely stoked when the newest "Sofia the First" DVD release arrived. In "Sofia the First: The Curse of Princess Ivy", Sofia and her pals encounter the evil Princess Ivy, who just happens to be voiced by Anna Camp of "Pitch Perfect" fame. This episode had us at the edge of our seats, but of course, teamwork, love, and helping others prevails over evil any day! ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my review.

The coconut is one versatile fruit. It is a fruit, right? My husband is trying to argue with me on this point, and I am fairly certain I'm right. Anyway, coconut not only makes killer desserts and adult beverages, it also has wonderful health and beauty benefits! I cook with coconut oil often, since it's a healthy fat. I also use it on my skin and hair, since it's incredibly gentle, hydrating, and nourishing.
Some people love the benefits of coconut oil but aren't crazy about the oily, greasy texture. After all, greasy isn't right for every application. Recently, I discovered CapriClear. CapriClear is pretty ingenious, if you ask me. This handy spray made from 100% pure coconut oil. It's easy to apply, and is hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, and non-greasy. Major, major brownie points for nixing the grease factor! ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my review. No other compensation has been provided, and all opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** Anyone who knows me is well aware of the fact that I have an addiction....to beauty and skincare products. There's something magical about all of those sweet smelling lotions and potions we ladies rely on to help us look and feel our best. If they can help tackle problem areas, that's a major added bonus. (Bye bye, tired looking eyes and dull, dry skin!)
Finding the best beauty and skincare products can be challenging, since there are about 2,485,663 different options available. I have tried many of them, and they're currently stashed in every pantry, cabinet, and drawer in my house. Okay, that may be a wee bit of an exaggeration, but I do have quite the impressive stash. My husband likes to complain about all the room my "smell good stuff" takes up. So I have tried a lot. Some are amazing, some mediocre, and some...well....I don't know how the folks stay in business. I won't name names to protect the offenders. One of the most important things I look for when choosing personal care products is safety. There are a lot of suspect ingredients floating around, like parabens, pthalates, and artificial dyes and colors, some of which have been linked to health problems and disorders. I try and avoid these, since I don't want my family to be exposed to these if I can help it at all. So I love it when I find effective, safe products free of these things. One brand I am really loving right now is Belli Skincare. Belli Skincare offers a wide variety of spa-quality products, perfect for women in every age of stage of life, Including pregnancy! That's right! Belli Skincare products are 100% safe for pregnant and nursing women. They are recommended by many OBGYN's, since none of the ingredients used in these products are harmful to mama or baby. They are very careful not to use anything, natural or synthetic, that has been shown to link to miscarriage or birth defects, and no harmful substances are passed through mama's milk.

***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my review. No other compensation has been provided, and all opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** From Walt Disney Animation Studios (“Frozen,” “Wreck-It Ralph”), Disney's “Big Hero 6” introduces you to a lovable robot who will change your world. Join Baymax (voice of Scott Adsit) and Hiro Hamada (voice of Ryan Potter) in a comic adventure that will make your heart soar as they learn about teamwork and becoming more than you thought you could be.
We recently had the opportunity to check out Big Hero 6 for ourselves, and I have to admit, we were really excited about this release. I had heard rave reviews from friends who had seen the movie, and I knew it would be right up our alley. After all, Sophie is basically obsessed with anything super-hero related, and claims she'd rather be a "super-hero-gamer-girl" than a princess, any day of the week. Hey, gotta love a gal with ambition, right? ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my review. No other compensation has been provided, and all opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** Here in my house, we have more than our fair share of broken and otherwise "injured" toys. With 2 preschool-aged kids who are not always the most careful of creatures, broken toys are kind of a given. They're just unfortunate casualties of kids having a bit too much fun.
When toys break, of course, there are occasional tears. More often than not, though, my little ones decide to play doctor, trying to fix whatever ails their "sick" toys. (This, by the way, this approach is WAY better than tears and tantrums. A lot cuter, too!) Sophie and Xander are becoming quite the little caregivers, and this is mostly because of their love for Doc McStuffins. This hit show, aired on Disney Jr., features an adorable little "Doc" who cares for her toys whenever they are in need of mending, or even just a little TLC. There's a brand new Doc McStuffins, available now on Disney DVD. In "Doc McStuffins Cuddle Me Lambie", children learn about compassion, friendship, and even facing their fears. These are great, positive messages that help teach character. As a mom, I feel good about that! There are 5 fun-filled episodes, and of course lots of song and dance. That's probably our favorite part! Also included in this DVD are some super-cute Lambie barrettes! I love these little extras, and so do Sophie and Xander. As usual, the Doc sure doesn't disappoint. "Cuddle Me Lambie" is a HUGE hit in our home! BabyBjörn is all about form and function. Their beautifully designed baby gear items are loved the world over. Now they are offering a limited edition DOTS collection, employing just two bold colors: black and white.Here's your chance to own a Bouncer Balance Soft. It is like no other baby bouncer around. It can be folded flat for storage, is composed of just two pieces, and will get years of use, from birth to mini rocker/recliner for your toddler! See the full review here. Enter below to win one and be the envy of your friends!! Open to US residents only. |
