TEAMWORK - HUGO THE HAPPY STARFISH ebook review

Image
Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. This will be my last Hugo Review. With this being said that makes me a little sad. My family has truly loved all the Hugo books. As a mom I have definitely liked the books due to the morals in them. With 6 kids in the house teamwork is one we work on all the time. We are constantly telling the kids to work together to get things done. Hugo and Seedo see a huge storm coming. Hugo say's "let's get to shore and build a place to be safe". When they get to the island Hugo realizes they can't do this alone so has Seedo blow his trumpet. When he does Sumo comes to help. They find they need more and more help. Everytime Seedo blows his trumpet more friends come and help. When the storm finally came all the friends were safe inside. All the sudden the friends hut disappeared and in it's place was a strong castle. All the friends cooperated in order to get things done. TEAMWORK! Cooperation means I ...

Nuby Embossed Section Plate

Image
Nuby Embossed Section Plate is great for those budding eaters. The plate has 3 sections. Our little one loves it. We have another divided plate but the smaller spots are really small. We like that the spots are all good size and deep so you can add more food. My kids are all eaters so this is a great feature for them. The kids are able to get a fruit, a veggie and a meat or main dish. Only 1 dish needed. This dish holds enough food for our 16 month old and our 6 year old. May not hold enough food for anyone older. You should see the cute designs that they have molded on the bottom of the dish. This Nuby Sectioned Plate is microwavable and dishwasher safe. I have only put on the top shelf of the dishwasher but it was still perfect when the washer was done. Microwave didn't leave any bubbles like some dishes get in the microwave. If you order these plates from Amazon you do not get to pick which colors you get. Colors vary, you will receive one of the following colors pink...

Nuby Glow in the Dark Orthodontic Pacifiers Review and Giveaway

Image
These BPA free pacifiers are a great idea! I was so excited to get to try these. Product Description Size: 6 Months Plus Nuby's nite time BPA free pacifier is perfect for naps and night time soothing. It's glow in the dark handle makes it easier to find in the dark. To make the handle glow: expose to light for several seconds, turn lights off and watch it glow. I have not seen another baby company come out with glow in the dark pacifiers. I love this. We had had enough of the crying in the middle of the night and searching with your hands, in the dark, and not being able to find the small plastic soother. It's hard enough to find a dropped binkie in the daytime, let alone at night.... Just let these sit in the light for a few minutes, turn off the light and you will be able to see the handles glow. Very nice for night time searching. If the baby is old enough, even better, they can find the binkie in the dark all by themselves. Definitely makes for am easy night...

Nuby Baby Care Nail Clippers

Image
I so love these clippers! There is a safety feature on them to keep little fingers from getting pinched or cut. The plastic cover for the clippers is a nice feature to have. It is also nice that it is big enough to make sure there isn't going to be swallowing. The back of the clippers top has a little mirror on it. Kind of a strange little feature but it was cute! The "blades" of the clippers were sharp enough to clip baby nails. I have noticed that buying baby clippers is something of a waste of money sometimes due to most of them don't cut baby nails. Little people nails are very soft sometimes and sort of shred when you clip. But these Nuby clippers did the job with no shredding!! I FULLY support buying these. These are worth every cent! These Nuby clippers come in more than pink. There is blue, green, yellowish, purple and pink. All great colors for any sex of child. The Nuby clippers are also very easy on the pocketbook at only $9.62 at Amazon.com ...

My Story Daniel and My Story Noah Reviews and Giveaway

Books area key instrument in learning. We have 6 kids and are constantly looking for Biblical learning tools. The story of Daniel is such a wonderful story about how God protects His people. God sent His angels to keep the mouths of the lions shut. It amazed the king the next day to find Daniel still alive. We can all feel secure that God will never leave us nor forsake us. But as kids it is a little bit more of a challenge for them to understand that concept. So Tommy Nelson books has brought a book out to help show children about God's love and miracles.
