Wow...Take a look at Kylie Minogue! She looks better than ever, doesn't she? Well many of you may have memories of riding down the road, blaring her hits like "Can't Get You Out Of My Head", while singing along loudly with your girlfriends. I know I sure do! Well, Kylie has just released a brand new album, and it shows a softer, more mature side of this iconic female artist. On November 6, The Abbey Road Sessions was released. This album was recorded at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London....You know...Where The Beatles often recorded? Yep, that Abbey Road! Recently, I received a CD copy of this album to check out for myself. It includes 16 classic Kylie Minogue hits spanning the last 25 years and even has a few brand new songs to enjoy. I loved the fact that these well-known songs have been given a brand new spin by the artist, so while you can certainly sing along to these nostalgic tunes, it's almost like you're hearing them again for the very first time. So what makes this album so different? Raw emotion. These tracks have been stripped of their electronic pop sound and have been re-recorded accompanied not only by Kyle's band, but also by a full orchestra! The result is magical, and Kylie has never sounded better. She clearly shows the emotion behind every song, and in a way her fans have never heard before. Check out this video and see for yourself!

Since we just bought our own home, one thing I have been obsessing about is making my kids' rooms look wonderful, while reflecting their own unique personalities. My soon to be 13 year old will not let me help, so my toddlers' rooms have been my main focus. My daughter's room has a purple fairy and butterflies theme, and is nowhere near done yet. My son, Xander, has a jungle theme with a huge monkey wall decal. His room isn't quite done, either. One thing that can really pull a child's room together is fabulous and fun crib bedding. I happen to love the selection from NoJo. They have high-quality products in a wide variety of themes, so you're sure to find the perfect set for your little one! Here ar Last spring, I got to review the iBounce from JumpSport, a leader in all things that bounce. For over 15 years, JumpSport has brought smiles to kids and adults alike with their wide range of trampolines. This company has a wonderful reputation for bringing families the safest, most durable trampolines on the market. The iBounce kids' trampoline offers hours of active fun, even on rainy, snowy, or otherwise dreary days when outdoor play is impossible. It comes with a tablet mount that can hold your iPad, nook, Kindle, or other tablet device. You can enhance your trampoline workout with podcasts, videos, and even e-books, making each bounce session a fresh new adventure that is sure to keep your child engaged. Another very cool thing about the iBounce is that it comes with a fun, interactive DVD that allows your child to bounce along with friendly, cartoon pals, or even follow along with a Mom and Daughter work-out routine that incorporates different moves and tricks. Sophie actually likes the real people more than the cartoon. How weird is that?! Of course your child should always bounce under close adult supervision to prevent injury.

With all of the negative news about dog treats from China, it's important that we give our dog the healthiest possible chewies. Great USA Dog Treats sell only treats made in the USA, and most of them from right here in NC! JustFindIt4U has teamed up with a select group of doggy loving bloggers to bring you 2 chances to win some treats for your favorite 4 legged canine. Great USA Dog Treats, based in North Carolina, was inspired by a Welsh Pembroke Corgi and born out of treat frustration. We wanted to give our Corgi treats that were good, safe and made in the USA. Finding these treats at local stores and supermarkets was difficult. The solution, Great USA Dog Treats! Our mission at Great USA Dog Treats is to provide safe, tasty dog treats and chews to caring dog owners for the delight and enjoyment of their canine friends. We care about your dog’s health and happiness. Great USA Dog Treats also wants to help you enhance the happiness, safety and well-being of your dog. Great USA Dog Treats sent us a few samples for our rescue dog Gypsy to try out. Gypsy is finicky about her treats, and she loves to chew, so her jaws would truly put any bones to the test. In the picture to the left, she is chewing on a small steak bone: 100% All Natural beef steak bones specifically prepared for dogs. These bones are baked and hickory smoked with no additives and no preservatives. These are small sized bones, ideal for the smaller dog. Each package contains three bones. Produced and made in the USA. You can tell from the picture that Gypsy loves her steak bones, and I loved that they are produced here in the USA. She spent the first few minutes licking the smoky flavor, before digging in and getting to work on the bone itself. 30 minutes later, she hadn't made much of a dent in the bone, so she hid it to return to the next day. We also received a bag of Soft Cheese & Bacon Training Treats, which Gypsy thought were like manna from heaven (or whatever dogs think when they taste something they really like). 8 oz package baked cheese & bacon flavored treats. Dogs will be on their best behavior when rewarded with this little treat! Made in the USA. Ingredients: Rye Flour, rolled oats, honey, bacon, dried cheese. No additives or preservatives. The Great USA Dog Treats website has many other items to choose from, see their entire store here. And for a limited time, they are offering FREE shipping with a $25 order. JustFindIt4U is hosting a Giveaway from 9 PM on 11/11 and ending at 12:00 AM on 12/1, with 2 winners (Continental US only). There will be a small dog prize (rv $28), and a large dog prize (rv $26) available. The 2 winners each get to choose which prize they want. We have invited some doggy loving bloggers to join us, be sure to check out their pages as you are going through the RaffleCopter form. There is only 1 mandatory entry, all of the others are voluntary. Of course, the more you complete, the more chances you have to WIN! This Giveaway is in no way endorsed, affiliated with or supported by Facebook. 2 winners will be chosen, and they will have 48 hours to reply back to the email sent to them, or another winner will be chosen. Great USA Dog Treats is responsible for delivery of the prizes. Disclosure: I received no compensation for this publication. My opinions are my own and may differ from those of your own.

True story: I tried to go see Wreck-It Ralph 3D today. The reason I say tried is because with 2 toddlers who have never been to a movie theater in tow, things didn't work out as planned. So there I was, in my Vanellope T-shirt, (Thanks, Marshall!) dealing with a screaming soon-to-be 2 year old who absolutely refused to sit still. Anyone who has heard Xander wail knows the only thing to do was hightail it out of the theater as quickly as possible. So we didn't get to see the whole movie, unfortunately. I am so disappointed, but will definitely be buying this when it comes out on DVD. When I returned home, I had a very cool Wreck-It Ralph e-mail waiting for me in my inbox. I pouted for a couple of minutes since I had literally just attempted to watch this movie, and then I ooh-ed and ahh-ed at the creative craft ideas within. You see, the folks at Disney are incredibly imaginative, and have come up with a great idea for all of you Wreck-It Ralph fans out there! See that awesome-sauce game cabinet to the left? It reminds me of something from my youth when I used to hang out in the Time Out Arcade at the local mall. No, I didn't play too many games, but the boys did, haha. Yep, I was a mall-rat. Don't hate. Anyway, you can make your very own Wreck-It Ralph game cabinet! How cool is that?! For complete instructions, click HERE. Also, check out this amazing Wreck-It Ralph cake made by esteemed pastry chef, Ricky Webster! I love it! I wish Mr. Webster were local...I have 2 toddlers with birthdays coming up, and I would love to enlist his services to make their cakes! The attention to detail is astounding, and I love the fact that he perfectly mimicked old-school, 8bit graphics, reminiscent of the original Mario Bros games. Yep, I am old. I actually remember these games from my childhood! |
