Pick a theme you want and they probably have it!

Glow Sticks Review

Image
I can't say that I was too happy with this company. I ordered this from Amazon with the understanding that it was going to be a pack of 100 glow sticks that can be made into bracelets. I got really excited because this was perfect coming right before my daughters birthday party. The shipping was fast, so that was great! But when I opened the package a couple of the glow sticks were already glowing. Since they only last a few hours, these were not going to make it to her party 3 days later. Now, I didn't need all 100 for her party....BUT....I was bored the next day so I counted the glow sticks. There were 73 total in the container. Now if this hadn't been a review item, which means I got this product free to post my honest review, I would have been really upset at this purchase. When I contacted the rep doing this review, all they said was yes they knew about it and have changed manufacturers since finding this out. Ummm ok?? If I had of purchased these myself, I would h...

Personalized Children's Book Review

Image
Not only was this book fun to make it was super easy to make! My 7 year old son rarely get the items to review. I was excited when this one came up. Plus, if you ask him what he wants to be when he grows up, he will say a ninja. A white ninja because the white clothed ones are good and the black clothed ones are bad. So Ninja it was! Just go to KD Novelties http://www.kdnovelties.com/ Find the book or cd you would like to purchase. Click on it and start to personalize your book. Just fill out the information they ask for. My son thought it was awesome that not only was he the ninja in the book, that saved the world, but his friends were in it also. The KD Novelties asks for up to 3 friends for the book. I included his older brother and 2 best friend cousins. What a neat idea this was. You really should check this company out. With Christmas coming, would make a great gift for that young child on your list. They have plenty to choose from and you can find boys and girls b...

Brave Girls Bible Stories Book Review and Giveaway

Image
Why not join Hope, Gracie, Glory, Faith, and Honor and they go through the Bible and see why they can be brave too. Women in the Bible were brave. God helped them become the strong, brave women that they were. Our girls can be that way too! I am not a very brave person. I tend to hide behind my husband. But I have tried raising strong girls. I sometimes envy women I see with lots of bravery. I love Ruth and Esther's stories. Brave Girls shows you so many strong and brave women of the Bible. Some you might know and well, some you may not. But all the stories are written in a way that it is like the women are telling you their stories. This book is very easy to follow and great Mommy/daughter time. Meet Hope Ready for a game of football? Yeah, I know I’m a girl. And girls aren’t supposed to play football, right? Well, you haven’t seen me with my brothers. Every Saturday afternoon we’re out in the yard playing flag football with our neighbors. And if it isn’t football, it’s...

Little Critters Being Thankful and We All Need Forgiveness Board Books Giveaway

Image
Being thankful for the things that you have is a interesting concept in children. Children tend to always want everything. As adults we see that what we have is what God wants us to have. I have to say since we don't always have, at our house, we have taught thankfulness since the very start. Our youngest just turned 2 and I am very thankful that she is already starting the "tainshoo" when she gets something she wants. In our house the phrase "we can't afford it right now" is very common thing. Little Critters Books are so great at helping teach those, well needed, lessons to our children.

Nuby Fruitsicle Popsicle Molds Review and Giveaway

Image
Now the toddlers can be just like the big kids! My older kids run around with the popsicles that are shaped like tubes. It is really hard for our 2 year old to use them. She can't figure out how to raise the ice with each bite. She also can't use scissors to crop off the top of the plastic as she goes along. We have also tried the $ store frozen popsicle makers, too big. Nuby just came out with the perfect item for our toddler! Toddler size popsicle trays! The bright colors caught her eyes the minute we pulled the tray out of the box. Each color is bright and shiny just like the rest. Boy and girls colors so they aren't too boyish or too girlie. Although, now, I can't keep my older kids out of her popsicles. I guess they never really grow up. We have tried apple juice, white grape juice, grape Kool-Aid and even just water. Not only are these a great summer time item to have but are great for teething toddlers. We have given these to her when we find her roam...
