Electrolux and Kelly Ripa Host "Splits For a Cause"


Usually when we hear the word "split", we think of news of celebrity break-ups, splashed across the cover of tabloid magazines. Well, leave it to our favorite celebrity/brand team to prove that a split can be a good thing!


Kelly Ripa and Electrolux are joining forces once again to celebrate the launch of Electrolux Appliance's new stand-alone refrigerator and freezer - that's right, the familiar duo has split up. And to sweeten the celebration, they're bringing in the "Emperor of Ice Cream" Stephen Bruce, owner and founder of Serendipity 3, the landmark New York City restaurant and dessert spot, into the mix.


Kelly and Bruce teamed up earlier today to make banana splits for a cause. And now we want you to dig in, with your virtual spoon! Starting today, at www.Kelly-Confidential.com, you can build your ultimate banana split using virtual ingredients from classic whipped cream to caramel sauce to rainbow sprinkles. For each "split", Electrolux will donate $1 to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund as part of its $750,000 commitment to help fight ovarian cancer[1].

As usual, Electrolux and Kelly find new and fun ways to say thank you to those who support this great cause. Everyone who logs on to the site and builds a split will be automatically entered for a chance to win the daily prize - $50 towards sweet summer treats - and the grand prize: the new stand-alone refrigerator and freezer from Electrolux.

By posting this information I was entered into a drawing to win my very own stand-alone refrigerator and freezer from Electrolux from MomSelect and Electrolux!

Barefoot Books Review and Giveaway



My son loves books and loves to have them read to him, but sometimes it’s hard for us to find a book that has pictures and is a quick read that will hold his attention very long. We make a trip to our local book store about twice a month looking for new and different books to keep him interested in reading and so he can have something different. I recently discovered Barefoot Books and their selection is absolutely wonderful!

Join us. Live barefoot.


Our Thoughts:

“Bug” was sent a few books to read and do a review on and I love that all three books we were sent are board book so that he wont tare the pages out while trying to read them himself and as he grows and learns how to read each of these books are going to be great to help teach him on since they are quick and easy reads.

The first book we reviewed was Cleo’s Alphabet Book and I love this book because it’s a super easy read for bed time but also a great tool in teaching “Bug” his alphabets by helping him learn to recognize them and to use them in a particular word! I also enjoy the colorfulness of the book and it really keeps his attention while we are reading it to him.

The next book we reviewed was Who’s in the Garden? “Bug” really enjoyed this book because it is a peek-a-boo book that has a hole in each page that allows an animal from the previous or and next page to show up on the current page and he really enjoyed that as well as looking at all the different animals on the page and the pictures are very lovely and eye catching to keep his attention!!

The last book we reviewed was One Moose, Twenty Mice and this is “Bug’s” favorite of the three books and I love it because not only does it help him learn to count to twenty it also offers him a game to play while reading the book which is to find the cat on each page until you get to the end of the book! He will set and look at the book by himself and ask me “where’s the cat” and I say I dunno where is it and he will think about it for a minute and then point it out. I think this is also a wonderful book to help him challenge his memory on where the cat is!

Overall we are extremely pleased with the selection of books we received to review and it was awesome the selection they sent that matched his taste in books so perfectly! I recommend anyone with children of any age to check out Barefoot Books because you are sure to find a perfect book or books for the child in your life no matter the ages or interest! We will be purchasing Barefoot Books for years to come!!!

Throx Review and Giveaway



Have you ever spent the whole day doing laundry just to realize while your putting it all away that you have somehow lost one of your favorite socks?? Well I have to tell you it happens at my house on a weekly basis, we have a basket in the laundry room where all of the matches to our lost socks hang out in hopes of one day being reunited! I was recently introduced to a company that makes it easier to loose one of your matching socks without a headache what is it you may be asking well I’ll tell you dear friend it’s called Throx!! What is Throx you may be asking well keep on reading to find out!

About Throx (Taken From Website):

One day, after losing one too many socks, it dawned on inventor Edwin Heaven: if tires come with a spare, why not socks? So now there's THROX—the first sock to give you a spare! THROX is THREE socks for when you lose one. (And let's face it, inside every washer and dryer is a Bermuda Triangle!) THROX is THREE socks for the price of two! (Which is why Edwin Heaven calls it "A fast solution for a slow economy.") Retailers love THROX because it differentiates itself from the same-old same-old. Consumers love it because NOW when they lose a sock they still have a pair. (If they buy TWO THROX they wind up with THREE PAIRS ... for about 1/2 the price!) And the media loves it because, during these turbulent times, it gives them something else to write about besides terrorists, oil spills and Britney Spears.
THROX—the first sock to come in threes. And, ultimately, three-of-a-kind beats a pair every time.

My Thoughts:


I was sent a set of Throx in Peppermints for review and although I have yet to loose one now I won’t have to retire them if one does happen to get lost! Don’t get confused and think that these are just any ordinary pair of socks, they aren’t they are triplets, 3 of a kind…Throx!! I am just so thankful for a set of socks that I can ware and not have to safety pin them together before I put them in the wash to make sure they all come out as they went in. They are going to be a member of our family for a long time to come we are currently debating on getting us each a couple more pairs because not only are they super convent if you do happen to let the sock monster get them to just pull out the back-up and there you have it your favorite set of socks, they are just super cute and very comfortable! I think these would also be wonderful in toddler size socks because I’m constantly loosing one of “Bug’s” socks in transit from my parents house to home after a weekend of him staying with them.

Over all I love these socks and think that the man that came up with them a genius!! Who would have ever thought of a set of three sock that match incase of the sock monster?? I do think you should head over to the Throx website and grab you a pair because you get not only a pair of sock but three socks for the price of a pair and never have to worry about the sock monster again (well that is until you loose one then you better watch out)!

And right now if you purchase two or more sets you’ll receive a bonus set of Throx (of Mr. Heaven’s choosing) If you type the words The Cartoon Lovin Mama in the special instructions box.

Buy It:
To purchase Throx for yourself visit their website!

Win It:

Little Looster Review and Reader Discount Code

We are currently in the process of potty training our 2year old little man and at time it is quite the challenge, but we have gotten lucky and he is now using the big boy potty more than he is his pull-ups!! I was recently contacted by Monica from Little Looster asking if I would like to do a review on the Little Looster and I was quick to agree!

About Little Looster (Taken From Website):
Little Looster LLC is a Portland, OR based business. The Looster itself was conceived and designed by Monica Mylet, a mother of 3. She came up with the design and need after parenting 3 kids through the potty training process.Just about every aspect of the Looster's life cycle from birth-of-concept to design and manufacturing was completed by Oregon based companies.

Looster is revolutionizing potty training. Our landfills and our pockets could use the change.

The Little Looster - Booster for the Loo is a horseshoe shaped stool that surrounds the base of your toilet, creating a pedestal for children to be supported while they sit on the loo. We can all say goodbye to the port-a-potty, toilet seat inserts, diapers, stress, apprehension, accidents and the lack of space in our bathrooms.

All children will eventually use the “big-potty” – WHY not start kids on it comfortably? Save the extra expense and mess that comes with the space-consuming porta-potty. We have been able to shave off months of diapering by creating a comfortable and safe experience on the loo.

Toddlers believe they might “fall-in” – WHY not give them the security and confidence that the stability of the Little Looster provides. Little Looster kids use their legs for support, alleviating that fear of falling in. Hands no longer need to grip the germ-ridden, inner rim.

No cleaning out the temporary port-a-potty. Flushable waste is the obvious sanitary option.

The Little Looster supports and boosts little legs, while potty training AND for the next 2-3 years that toes can’t reach the ground. No more “stinging” sensation when legs fall-asleep, from dangling unsupported off the sides of the toilet - little legs love the Little Looster.

No more hassle. Parents don’t move the Little Looster every time they need to use the loo. Our unique design allows adults full use of the toilet while standing or sitting, without ever moving the Little Looster.

The average family in the US is spending approximately $75/mo on disposable diapers & wipes and over 92% of those are ending up in our landfills. No one really knows how long it takes for a disposable diaper to decompose, it is estimated somewhere between 250-500 years. The statistics are staggering as I'm sure you are all well aware of. The Little Looster is made of plastic which is 100% recyclable after your many years of use.

The Little Looster can cut out months of this environmental mess and huge cost to families.


Our Thoughts:

I was super excited about being offered the chance to review the Little Looster since we are trying to potty train “Bug”! The moment it arrived he was absolutely amazed at this “toy” so after explaining to him it wasn’t a new toy it was for him so he could set on the big boy potty I took it to our bathroom and put it in front of the potty and it wasn’t long before he was up sitting on the potty and his feet was resting on the Little Looster and I think at that moment he knew he could finally use the potty like mommy and daddy!

We have been using the Little Looster for a few weeks now and I am very pleased with the results he really has been using the fire out of it and it has made him WANT to use the potty which is wonderful for us! He also uses it to stand on to pee pee so he can reach the potty without standing on his tippytoes and without mommy’s help so it gives him the independence that he thinks he just has to have since he lives in an “I’m big enough to do it myself” world. It’s also came in very hand for him to use as a stool to brush his teeth and has encouraged him to do so without the usual fight.

Overall we are very, very pleased with the results we have gotten from him using the Little Looster and I do recommend everyone that is trying to potty train to pick up one of these it makes it so much easier for the kiddos and it gives them the independence that I think is very important for the process of potty training. And priced at just $39.99 its well worth it and you will be getting your money back in the price of pull-ups once your kiddo is fully potty trained and be sure to think about Little Looster when shopping for a birthday gift for a kiddo ages 1-2 it would be perfect!!!

Discount Code:
Monica has generously offered my reader a discount code for $7.00 off the purchase of a Little Looster with code: MMM7102

Bondi Band Review and Giveaway


As a super busy SAHM to a very active 2yr old I don’t have a whole lot of time to spend washing, drying and styling my hair so when I find a product that allows me to skip one of the steps, save time and be on my way running errands and cleaning house I’m all about giving it a chance. I recently ran across Bondi Band and this company has a large selection of headbands and I’m sure you will find something for everyone in your family!

About Bondi Band (Taken From Website):

The Idea
The simple premise of Bondi Bands is to offer comfy, colorful, and creative headbands to fit every lifestyle and personality.

By using stretchy and breathable material, we allow Bondi Bands to fit virtually every head size comfortably and fashionably.

Our buyers constantly search for the newest and trendiest fabric designs and complement them with traditional craftsmanship to bring our customers the best product available on the market.

Our Charity
We are a simple company with a dedication and belief in our product. Our philosophy is to make a great product at a great price and to build relationships one at a time. And as much as we believe in making a tidy profit we also believe in giving back. Each year we donate 10% of our pretax profits to charity. For 2009 we have chosen the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) is a Comprehensive Cancer Center designated by the National Cancer Institute. It is a major affiliate of Harvard Medical School and is located in Boston, Massachusetts.

The origins of DFCI date back to 1947. DFCI employs about 3,000 people. Most importantly, there are more than 150,000 patient visits a year, and it is involved in some 200 clinical trials. It is internationally known for its research and clinical excellence.

We figured if we were going to give away some money, this should be where it goes to.


My Thoughts:

I was sent a couple of Bondi Bands to review and I have to tell you these save me time in the mornings at least twice a week! The are super comfy and unlike other headbands I’ve tried don’t slip during the day and stay put nicely. I’ve gotten quite a few complements about how nice I look even though I was going for a comfy casual look so that’s always a plus with a toddler when you can look nice and not have to spend a lot of time on yourself!

I love that Bondi Band offers something for everyone in your family they have headbands for babies ages 1-5 and they are supper duper cute, Buddies (for your dogs), guys and girls of all ages!! I just love their selections and the two that were sent to me were wonderful! I received the Cheetah Print design on lycra which somehow my sister has ended up with and been wearing pretty regularly??? I also received a purple Bondi Band that had the word MOM on the front of it which was my absolute favorite and the one I wear the most!! I have used both of these on my nightly jog and can safely say that I do not have one complaint they both worked wonderful to keep my hair and sweat out of my eyes while running.

I really recommend these to anyone busy mom or not so busy mom to teens, men and children they are very comfy and with so many styles to choose from what have you got to loose!

Brightfeet Slippers Review and Giveaway



I don’t know about anyone else out there but I’m constantly thinking of things I needed to do before I lay down and go to sleep for the night and unfortunately I’m usually already in bed before I remember to put the cloths in the dryer or turn on the dishwasher so I have to get up in the dark and stumble my way to the kitchen and laundry room to keep from disturbing my husband and son . Now I’m tired of the stumping my toe on the door frame or stepping on one of my husbands shoes he still isn’t sure how to pick up but thanks to Brightfeet Slippers those are all things of the not so long ago past!

About Brightfeet Slippers (Taken From Website):

BrightFeet™ Slippers are nightlights for your feet. Wherever you go, the lights go with you™. Checking on kids, midnight snacks, trips to the bathroom, whatever the task, BrightFeet™ Slippers are the right light for you at night™.

No need to wake up others by turning on lights in a dark room. Convenient and easy to use, BrightFeet™ Slippers provide up to 25' of light by simply stepping into the slippers. Compared to traditional nightlights that only illuminate a certain area, BrightFeet™ Slippers light the path directly in front of you at all times. BrightFeet™ Slippers is The Perfect Gift for any occasion.


My Thoughts:

I was sent a pair of BrightFeet Slippers in black to review and boy have these ever made my nights easier, just by stepping into my slippers I have an instant light to light my path without disturbing the rest of the house! I can now get up and do my last minute chores (that my hubby forgot) without disturbing the culprit or my little man! I am so grateful for these slippers now my toes are protected and I make a lot less noise moving from the bedroom to the bathroom or out in the hall! I’m also looking forward to these slippers once I get pregnant for the second time because now trips to the bathroom wont be so long and scary (think tripping over toys)!

I would recommend these to anyone for any gift giving occasion because they are sure to be a gift that keeps on giving! I know my dad sure could use a pair of these to keep from tripping over toys when he gets up (too early for me) in the mornings and don’t want to wake my mother up with the lights! I also think that this would be a wonderful gift to the elderly that still live on their own to keep from having a nasty fall.

I am overall very pleased with my slippers and plan on enjoying them for a long time to come!

My Thoughts:

I was sent the Ladies Rodeo Bucking Horse Tee in pink to review. This is actually one of my favorite tees that I have in my closet right now! It’s super comfortable, light weight and very breathable. I like my tees to be loose fitting and this one fits everything I love into one tee! I love the adorable bucking horse on the front of this tee and for me it’s kind of a part of my childhood I remember going to rodeos all the time as a teen with my girlfriends!! I have to say that this tee would be perfect for any time of day, any place in the world no matter where you live or where you were born!

I’ve worn this shirt several times now and I usually pair it with the Ladies Cupid Shorts that I also received for review (read the review HERE) and it is a cute, simple and comfortable outfit and I love to wear it out to the park, fishing or any time we are going someplace relaxed! I’ve put this shirt thru the wash and dry process several times and I’m happy to report that it’s still in the same shape as I received it in no rips, loose seams or shrinkage so I have to give this tee a thumbs up and will continue to enjoy it for a long time!

My overall opinion of this shirt is very high and I highly recommend Wild Texas Wear to anyone no matter where you live or where your from!

With that being said don’t think that just because these shorts and other items come from Wild Texas Wear are just for Texans or southerners in general they are for everyone with a little Texas in their hearts and trust me the comfort em’ is as big as Texas itself!!

I have worn these shorts several times over the past couple of weeks and they have been thru the wash several times and I’m proud to say that my new favorite lounge shorts are still in tact and are standing up super!! These are high quality clothing items people they are made with high quality fabrics and stitching and hold up to daily wear and tear! I have also found that these shorts although it’s not exactly what they are made for are great sleeping shorts and I use them quite a bit for that and over my bathing suite in transit from the house to the lake!!

My overall opinion of these shorts is very high and I highly recommend Wild Texas Wear to anyone no matter where you live or where your from! Trust me you wont be disappointed in these lounge shorts or any other item you purchase from Wild Texas Wear! I can sum it up in three words: Style, Comfort and Affordable!

CleanWell Review



I don’t know about all of you but when it comes to germs and my toddler I take it as very serious business! I make sure to always take sanitary wipes, sprays ect along with me in my car, purse and diaper bag to make sure my sons hands are free of germs and yuck! I recently ran across a company called CleanWell and after browsing their site I decided I would really like to give their products a chance and was lucky enough to receive a couple of samples for review.

About CleanWell (Taken From Website):

Our Thoughts:

Now after reading the impressive information about CleanWell and it’s products I was really excited to try out their hand sanitizers!


We were sent the Clean Well- Natural Hand Sanitizer 1 Oz. Spray Bottle and the Cleanwell Natural Hand Sanitzer, 6-Ounce Spray Bottle for this review and it wasn’t long after we received them that they were at use in full force! I love to keep the 6oz bottle in the house for random uses and I keep the 1oz spray bottle in my purse so I always have it with up no matter what we are up too! I noticed after a few uses my hands didn’t seem as dried out as it does when I use another brand of hand sanitizer. I’m also pleased by the scent and that it doesn’t have that alcohol fragrance to it and that make is much more pleasant to use. The smell is very mild and herb-like and dissipates quickly but does take a bit of getting used to if your not used to using herb scented products although I love it!

It’s a product that I recommend with the utmost confidence seeing how well it’s worked for our family I feel you will have the same results.

Expressiva Nursingwear Review and Giveaway



Although I am not yet nursing, have decided that I am going to nurse this baby when it gets here. I did not nurse “Bug” but I really do wish I would have been able too but with me working and all I figured it would be improbable even though I took him to work with me daily. So when we made up our mind to nurse baby #2 I decided it was time to start looking for the perfect nursing wear. I knew when I came across Expressiva Nursingwear that this could possibly be the company I have been looking for!

I love that it has a flap like top where when it’s necessary to feed you can just lift the flap and feed your baby while still covering yourself. I have worn the shirt several times since I received it and I’ve got absolutely no complaints about this shirt what so every it chic and stylish and will be a shirt I will continue to wear even after I’ve stopped nursing.

I will definitely be back to Expressiva Nursingwear for my other nursing shirts as the need arises and I will be telling all my friends and family who are expecting little ones to check them out the styles are awesome and the prices are equally as awesome!

Broadway Nails Review


I don’t admit it often but this time I will step up and say yes I’m a diva at times! I love to have my hair fixed just right, have beautiful nails and awesome make-up but since becoming a mom I’ve found I don’t have the time or money I used to on my personal self. I do however like to take time to do the things I can do myself that cost lets than going out and having it done “professionally”. One of my absolute favorite “mommy treats” is going out and getting a manicure with acrylic nails but finding the time is almost impossible so I’ve turned to doing them myself and with the help of Broadway Nails it’s a perfect manicure every time, in less time and less money!

Kiss Products Inc. is located in New York just 20 miles outside of New York City on the exclusive north shore of Long Island. A diverse workforce with a multitude of talent and energy work to deliver top selling products at the best possible quality

My Thoughts:

Earlier this week I attended a Webinar for Broadway Nails, now I have always been a fan of Broadway Nail when doing my nails from home simply because of the wonderful selection of products that they offer! I have always been able to find the perfect nails to match my mood or an event that I was attending. Just when I thought I knew exactly how to “do” my own nails it turns out that I didn’t know as much as I thought I did. I did learn a lot actually, my biggest problem with the nails was always the tiny air bubbles that would bug the heck out of me, as it turns out I wasn’t using enough glue on each of the nails I only used just a drop and I should have been using glue not only on the plastic nail but also on my real nail. I also learnt that taking them off I’ve been doing a super big No-No, I would always just pry the nail off my original nail and just ignore the directions to use acetone polish remover so from now on it’s going to be the only way I will be taking my plastic nails off. So using the information I received in the webinar and armed with several of the products that are new from Broadway Nails I set out last night to “do this thing right” while my husband was watching “Bug”!

The set of nails I decided on wearing for this first review was the new Fashion Diva-Mismatch Manicure called Harajuku Style in Love (which is my absolute favorite of the products I was sent!!)



I started my journey by laying out all ten nails in the order they needed to go on my fingers:

Then starting with my dominate hand (my right) I used my left hand to apply all five nails making sure I put plenty of glue and started at the cuticle area of my original nail. I made sure to leave the tabs on until of was fished with the entire hand. (Boy are these tabs super handy, they make applying the nail without gluing your fingers together so much easier).

I repeated the same process this time using my right hand to apply the nails to my left! And after what seemed like no time at all (10 mins) I had a beautiful manicure done by me in the comfort of my own home!


And the finished product:

I am so proud of how this set of nails turned out no air bubbles at all even today, so that’s awesome and the colors of the nails are so cool and my son will tell me what color every one of my nails is, so these are helping me teach him his colors and be a fashion diva all at the same time.. Cool Huh??? I’ve never really went out of the normal French tip color on my nails but since receiving these and loving them and all the other products I got to try out I’m now very open minded and I can tell you that I will be having more wild styles to come!! I really can’t stress enough how much I really enjoyed learning all the things I did during the Webinar and how much I love Broadway Nails!!

Be sure to check back next week when I review the Blush nails in the Fashion Diva series!! Also go over and check out all the designes on their Website!!

To purchase these nails for yourself visit your local drug store, Wal-Mart or anywhere Broadway Nails are sold!

Bust Summertime Boredom with 11 Wallet-Friendly Ideas from Primrose Schools

Prevent Summer "Brain Drain" by Planning Ahead

School is out and children are so excited that summer is here, but it won't be long until you hear the infamous, "I'm bored" from your little ones.

Primrose Schools, the leader in educational child care, recommends encouraging imaginative play and having a plan in place to keep children's minds engaged during the summer months. Studies show that without stimulation, children can lose up to 60 percent of what they learned during the school year.

That's why Dr. Mary Zurn, Vice President of Education for Primrose, has come up with the list of ideas below as a starting point for summer activities that offer a balance between the freedom of child-initiated play time and more structured activities.

Here are 11 ideas parents can use to keep young minds active during the summer months:

1. Boredom Buster Jar: At the beginning of the summer, sit down with your family and brainstorm a list of activities that can be done alone or that you can enjoy doing together. Encourage your children to share their own ideas and help you decorate and label a simple jar as the family "Boredom Buster Jar." They'll feel more involved in the project and more likely to think this is a "neat" idea, if they participate in the creation and idea generation. Next, write everyone's ideas down on slips of paper and as a group decide which ones should go in the jar. Anyone in the family can pull any idea out of the jar to fight the summertime boredom blues.

2. Stories Alive: It sounds too simple, but reading is one of the most important waysto keep young minds engaged during the summer.Make reading even more fun by finding ways to bring the stories to life. For example, in the book Roxaboxen by Alice McLerran, children create a make-believe town in the desert out of rocks, boxes, and their imaginations. Read the book with your children and then challenge them to create their own town with materials they find in the backyard.

3. Art Start Box: You'll need to gather basic art supplies-child safe scissors, glue, markers, tape and construction paper. Put them in a special box along with empty oatmeal boxes and paper towel rolls, colorful magazines and bits of aluminum foil. Occasionally add a special surprise like chalk, stickers, or stamp pads so there's always something new for the children to find. Even if you normally have these supplies around the house, it's fun for children to know that the Art Start Box is just for them. They'll probably have some good ideas of other household items that can be recycled to fuel their creative energies.

4. Family Performances: Break out old clothes or costumes and encourage children to make up characters and create a play to act out. They are the directors, actors, and producers. They can also make musical instruments out of pots/pans, wooden spoons, empty canisters and have a parade; or everyone can play along to your family's favorite songs. Record or video the performances, and enjoy the replay. You'll also be capturing a bit of family history everyone will enjoy for years to come.

5. Family Dance Party: Crank up the music and encourage your entire family to boogie down. Dancing gives children a great outlet for self-expression through their own motion and helps build self-esteem. It also enhances motor and coordination development by incorporating skills like jumping, landing and leaping. Dancing is a great activity that can involve the whole family and doesn't take very much preparation.

6. Fort Building: Children love to build all kinds of structures--from small towns to large towers. Constructing forts or tents is an activity that can keep children focused and problem solving for hours. All the items you need can be found around the house- some chairs, cushions, blankets, and of course adult supervision.

7. Cookbook Fun: Have you ever shared your favorite cookbook with your children? Take it out and ask your children to choose a recipe to try. Measuring can be a fun and easy way to keep math skills fresh.

8. Summer Scrapbook: All you need for this project is a spiral notebook. Encourage everyone in the family to draw pictures of favorite activities and collect mementos from special events throughout the summer. Children love to go back through scrapbooks and albums and tell about what happened at each occasion. They will also be building their storytelling skills at the same time.

9. Listening Game: Lie down in the backyard, in the den or at the park and listen. What do you hear? Do you hear what I hear? Can you imitate the sound? This is similar to watching the clouds and naming the shapes, and it encourages everyone to slow down and focus on listening.

10. Camping Out: Pretend to campout in the backyard. Plan a meal, pack a backpack and set up a campsite. You might even decide to spend the night!

11. Scavenger Hunt: Make a list or picture cards of common household items and have your children find the items on the list. Invite friends or neighbors to join in the fun to make it a competition.

To find these and other great tips for parents, check out Dr. Zurn's blog at DrZandme.com. And don't forget to grab Dr. Z's Widget while you're there!

A Happy Book For A Happy Baby Review


As a mother of a 2 year old toddler I love to find books that are perfect for me to read to him a bed time as a way to help calm down and relax from the long day! When I was offered the chance to review A Happy Book For A Happy Baby book by Kristen Fairgrieve I jumped at the chance it looked like a book that would be perfect for us!

About A Happy Book For A Happy Baby Book (Taken From Website):

Kristen Fairgrieve’s "A Happy Book for a Happy Baby" is just what the title indicates—a delightful children’s book about the joys of babyhood. This beautifully illustrated rhyming book makes a great gift for a baby shower or a christening. Also great for a child learning to read.

Our Thoughts:

I have read the book several times to “Bug” since we received it and I have to admit it’s one of his favorites! He loves to point out the pictures and say the colors on the page, by the way the illustrations is super cute and very colorful! The book is a quick read so it’s perfect on those nights where he is super tired and just needs a quick read before sleep.

I do recommend this book to anyone with a small child or expecting a baby as it is super duper cute and really is precious! I would have loved to received this book as a baby shower gift and I will be sure to keep in in mind for future shower gifts to add to my baby gift baskets!

I have also shared this book with a few of my friends who are also mothers and we have all agreed that this should be a must have and I think my little “Bug” agrees and I can’t wait to share it with our soon to be addition to the family!

4th of July Buzzed Driving Outreach

The summer picnic season is upon us, and one of the biggest weekends of the summer is almost here! With the Fourth of July right around the corner, it's time to plan now for a safe and sober way home.

While many of us focus on fireworks safety each Fourth of July, we also need to keep our roads safe for the drive home after the festivities.

Whether at a family picnic or viewing the local fireworks display, many of us will be on the road this Independence Day. It's time to spread the word about the dangers of buzzed driving and to remind people that Buzzed Driving IS Drunk Driving, and the best way to stay safe is to plan ahead.

We need your help in keeping the roads safe for everyone this July Fourth by spreading the word that buzzed driving IS drunk driving.

There are four steps you should take to protect your loved ones on the Fourth of July.

1.) Designate a sober driver before you leave for your Fourth of July events.

2.) Be ready to take alternate transportation such as a bus or taxi.

3.) Have the phone number of a taxi service stored in your phone before you leave for the party.

4.) Call 9-1-1 if you see an impaired driver on the road.

Even if you will not be drinking alcoholic beverages this Fourth of July, keep in mind that over the course of 2008, 1,179 people in other vehicles were killed in crashes involving alcohol-impaired drivers. And there were a total of 491 motor vehicle traffic fatalities during the Fourth of July Holiday period (Thursday, July 3rd, 6 pm to Monday, July 7th, 5:59 am). And for those who say they don't plan on over-indulging . . . a buzzed driving crash looks the same as a drunk driving crash.

We are working with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Ad Council as they continue their efforts with the "Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving" PSA campaign. Buzzed drivers drink and drive, but do not consider themselves a hazard on the roadway because they have had "only a few" drinks.

To learn more about the impact buzzed driving can have on a life, please watch this important video about the financial and personal repercussions of getting a DUI: http://buzzeddriving.adcouncil.org/sign.php#video

Remember: Buzzed Driving IS Drunk Driving. Plan ahead and ask your loved ones to do the same.

SurlyGirly Cosmetics, Inc Review


I am totally addicted to make-up, I love it and refuse to leave the house without it and to be honest most of the time I will get up in the mornings and put it on knowing I will not be leaving the house at all that day! This obsession drives my husband crazy but the funny thing is he sure don’t complain when he gets told he has a gorgeous wife! I have so much make up it’s hard at times to see my bathroom counter top, but I believe that a woman can never have too much make-up and I’m one of those that never wears the same shades more than twice a week so I like to have many options that’s why I was thrilled to have the opportunity to review SurlyGirly Cosmetics!!!

My Thoughts:
I was sent several SurlyGirly Cosmetics to review so today I want to talk to you about a couple of eye shadows and one of the lip glosses I received and show you the look I created but don’t fear there will be more reviews in the coming days/weeks of new looks and products from SurlyGirly Cosmetic.

The first product I want to share with you all is SurlyGirly Cosmetics, Inc Eye Shadow in Porn Star! Now don’t let the name throw you off this is a really beautiful matte purple color and I have to say I’m one that loves the darker shadows so this was a perfect match for me! The color is very bold and so easy to apply with no flake offs as I call it (little pieces of color on the bottom of the eye once applied. The color last all day and looks fresh with no touch up required. You can pick up your own eye shadow in Porn Star for $9.00 available on their website.

The next shadow I used today was the SurlyGirly Cosmetics, Inc Eye Shadow in Drag Queen again don’t let the name detour you this is a very dark and beautiful deep shimmering burgundy flecked with gold! I absolutely love this color and it’s sure to be a staple in my everyday make-up routine!! It was also super easy to apply and I used it in the creases and the most outer corner of my eyes to create a smoky look and smudged it underneath to finish the look! You can pick this color up on their website for $9.00!!

To complete my look I used the SurlyGirly Cosmetics, Inc Lip Gloss in Girl Talk that is a lovely sparkling sheer gold color! I’m not much on lip gloss because of the sticky texture and funky taste of most lip glosses but this one was different it went on super smooth and left no stickiness nor funky taste so I’m happy to report this will also become a common product in my routine! You can add this sultry lip gloss to your make-up bag for only $14.00

Here is my completed look:

I did go over the Porn Star with a shimmer white lightly to lighten the purple up but over all I loved all the products used and will continue to use them regularly! Not only are these products super fab they are very affordable to add to your make-up bags!!

To purchase all of the products mentioned above visit their website!

Be sure to check back for more fab reviews from SurlyGirly Cosmetics, Inc I have a few more coming within the next week or so!
