I'm happy my son will interact with his peers, experience new thing, learn, play, etc. I'm sad because it's the first step out of the nest, not to mention we have never been separated for that long.

This is my first year school shopping and school clothes & supplies really can knock you off budget. Classroom supplies list can be jaw dropping. I've been full force school shopping and now we are waiting on the big day. I'm more nervous than my son. Friday, we meet the teacher and he loved the classroom and playing with other children. In fact he didn't want to leave see photo below.

Learning Curve John Deere Roll & Go Flashlight Review & Giveaway

 No doubt living in a southern farming community we see John Deere everywhere. My son goes to saying John Deere, John Deere Momma! The baby says tractor:) They are both big fans and you can imagine the surprise they had when they first spotted the John Deere Roll and Go Flashlight from Learning Curve.

They were happy little boys!! We think it is so cute and even better it makes tractor sounds when pressing the trigger. A real fun flashlight sparks little one's imagination and it would be great for camp outs and shadow shapes. The tractor flashlight has actual rolling wheels and headlights for night and day play.

I like the Auto shut-off feature, (stays on about 30 seconds) to save batteries with the John Deere Roll and Go Flashlight. On countless occasions I've seen flashlights left on from little ones. It uses three AAA batteries.


Learning Curve has a great selection of John Deere gear and toys. The John Deere Roll and Go Flashlight is available at Target and Toys R Us for $12.99, but thanks to Learning Curve one reader will win a John Deere Roll and Go Flashlight.

My Sweet Dreams Baby Backpack Review & Giveaway

It's still summer but, school bells will be ringing here in a few short days. I did about 70% of my shopping online.

My Sweet Dreams Baby carries brands like brands like Stephen Joseph, Four Peas, Hoohobbers, Wildkin and personalized monogrammed lunchboxes with matching designs. Their kid preschool nap mats and piggy banks are simply adorable.

We had the opportunity to review the Wildkin Wild Animal backpack and matching lunch box. The arrival of the set is when it became real to my son he was heading to preschool. He squealed and giggled that he had a school backpack and not to mention a trendy lunchbox that matches thanks to My Sweet Dream Baby. We love the bright colors and fun patterns of giraffes, bears, zebras, and all the fun animals. I really like all the inner storage pockets and even a small zipper compartment.

Dance Pocoyo Dance! DVD Giveaway with Langers Juice

New Dance Pocoyo Dance! DVD, releasing August 16 at retailers. Summertime challenges even the most creative parents with how to keep the kids entertained, active and limit all day snacking. Pocoyo and Langers Juice may have the ideal solution!  Beginning August 1 through August 31, parents can receive an all-new Pocoyo DVD – Dance Pocoyo Dance!–with the purchase of 10 Langers Juices (plus $1.99 shipping and handling), while supplies last. 

 

The Dance Pocoyo Dance! DVD, based on the Pocoyo animated television series, will encourage kids to get up and dance, jump and have fun for hours. The music provides high-energy participation, and Pocoyo and his animal friends, Elly the elephant, Pato the duck, and Loula the dog, add to the excitement. It’s a good workout for Mom and Dad, too. Kids can quench their thirst with Langers Juice after dancing with Pocoyo while watching Dance Pocoyo Dance!.

The multi-award-winning animated television series Pocoyo is now featured in a new half-hour time slot during the weekends on Nick Jr., on Saturday’s and Sunday’s at 1.00pm ET/10am PT, complementing the current weekday broadcasts at 4:25 pm Eastern/1:25 pm Pacific. Pocoyo also airs on Univision’s Planeta U on Saturday mornings at 8:30 am; and on select PBS stations nationwide(check local listings). Additionally, Pocoyo toys are available at Toys”R”Us and amazon.com

Langers Juice, in kid-friendly juice flavors like orange, red grape, white grape, grape with vitamin C, and pineapple, are available nationwide at retailers including WalMart, Albertsons, Econo Foods, Food 4 Less, Lucky, Market Basket, Miners, Ralphs, Smart & Final, Sprouts, and Staters, among others.

And as the temperatures soar, Moms and their kids can use Langers Juice to create their own healthy and refreshing fruit juice popsicles! Simply pour 4 oz of juice into a paper cup and pop it into the freezer. When the juice freezes, kids can eat the frozen treat with a spoon, or simply lick the cold concoction, peeling back the paper cup as needed.

Parents know that sodas, sports drinks, sweetened juice or fruit-juice cocktails have too much sugar, too many calories or too many additives. That’s why Langers 100% fruit juice is the smart choice for parents and their kids.

Mayo Clinic Nutritionist Katherine Zeratsky, R.D., L.D., says that while whole fruit is the best choice, certain types of fruit juice can be a healthy part of your child's diet. Recent studies have confirmed that drinking moderate amounts of 100 percent fruit juice doesn't affect a child's weight. What 100% fruit juice does offer is more vitamins and nutrients and fewer additives than other drink choices.

The American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Heart Association recommends that children between 6 months and 6 years can safely consume 4 to 6 ounces (118 to 177 milliliters) of 100% fruit juice a day; while those 7 years and older can consume between 8 to 12 ounces (237 to 355 milliliters) per day. About 4 ounces (118 milliliters) of 100% fruit juice equals one serving of fruit.

 

One Reader will win the Dance Pocoyo Dance! DVD.  Also, check out FREE Pocoyo content available on the Pocoyo YouTube channel and plenty of fun and games in Pocoyo World www.pocoyoworld.com.

Ceramcor Xtrema Cookware Review & Giveaway

Xtrema durable cookware has made a lasting impression in my kitchen. Every kitchen should have a cookware piece that is versatile and can be used in the oven, stove top, grill, broiler, freezer, dishwasher, and micro wave oven. It is durable, I tried my steel wool on it and the beautiful high gloss finish didn't show any wear. 50 year warranty is amazing!! This pan is quality!! Ceramcor Xtrema Cookware is made from natural minerals from the earth "environmentally friendly cookware."

The Xtrema is my go to cookware now. It's size is actually larger than my cast iron frying pan and it's got more depth. Plus my food tasted better, it reduces cooking time, and uses less energy. Ceramic far infrared cooking enhances foods flavor and is non toxic, healthy cooking, withstanding temperatures to 2,700 degrees.

I had the opportunity to review the Xtrema 10" Open Skillet with Silicone Pot Holder and I want to use it more than any other cookware I have. I particular love to make casseroles in it and they come out looking fantastic. The only problem I see is once you have one you will want more:) I certainly do!! Xtrema has teapots, cake pan, baking pans, skillets and more for healthy cookware with no trace metals or chemicals.

Xtrema:

We have the healthiest and most versatile cookware on the Planet. Xtrema Ceramic Cookware is healthier than any other cookware and we have documented scientific and laboratory testing to prove it. “It is what separates Ceramcor from all of the other cookware companies.”

PlaSmart Plasma Car Giveaway

Did you catch this same review last week and think you would love to own a PlaSmart Plasma Car. Now you can have the chance to win one thanks to our Hotter Than Summer Sponsor Plasmart!! So here is a recap in case you missed the review.

We were about to meet family in town for ice cream when the Plasma Car arrived. They did not want ice cream anymore. My boys went crazy with much excitement and anticipation to ride it. My husband quickly assembled it in no time, and they got in a few quick rides before we left. We assured the oldest it would be here when we got home. He was bursting to get back home, he barley drunk his milkshake. As soon as we made it back home, the fun began.

The things I love about the Plasma Car is it's working their arm muscles that sometimes don't get the exercise needed. A simple and yet fascinating fun ride on toy. I must admit that I love toys for children with out batteries. I give it 5 stars for not being battery powered. Plasma Car is powered by the energy each child uses to operate it, speed is not a safety factor.

The Plasma Car is light weight, easily moved by children, and quick assembly time. Plasma Car can hold up to 120Ibs. on uneven surfaces an up to 220Ibs. on smooth surfaces. A great toy to grow with and be shared with children almost any age.

The Plasmart Plasma Car has won numerous awards and belongs to a long list of PlaSmart Inc. fantastic toys. See video below from PlaSmart Inc. on you tube and subscribe to all PlaSmart Videos.


Win a PlaSmart Plasma Car!!!

Gazillion Bubbles Review & Giveaway

Bubbles Bubbles Everywhere!! The more Gazillion Bubbles, the happier my sons are. Bubbles bring out the fun and laughter but, add a Gazillion Bubble Flash Ray and a Gazillion Bump-N-Go Bubble Bug and it is super childhood fun.

I was helping get the Gazillion Bubble Flash Ray out of the package when I  noticed the tubing hanging down, first thought "oops" I cut the tube with the scissors. It was actually made that way and I like that you screw the bubble bottle to the Gazillion Flashing Ray Gun.  Hold the trigger and a constant flow of air begins to blow, the bubble solution is pulled up the tube. A steady flow of bubbles fill the air and flashing lights inside the gun. Bubble shooter Includes 4 oz. bottle of the One and Only Gazillion Bubble solution, 2 "AA" batteries included.

The Gazillion Bump-N-Go Bubble Bug is very cute. It has a mind of it's own and when bumping into a dead end it turns it's direction to head another way with bubbles flying out of it's back. The children in behind it laughing all the way. They would get so tickled that it would spin and go the other direction. The little bubble bug includes 4 oz. bottle of the One and Only Gazillion Bubble solution. 3 "AA" batteries required, not included.

Hurry to get in on the Gazillion Bubble Photo Contest ends at 11:59 p.m. PT on July 22, 2011.
Monthly Prize: $250 Toys R Us Gift Card (4)
Gazillion Bubbles Summer Fun Package: One hundred ($100) suggested retail value of Gazillion Bubbles product and merchandise.

Happy Feet® Insoles Review & Giveaway

I've been on my feet a lot this week with all the school shopping, but my feet are happy. I've been wearing a pair of Happy Feet® Insoles and my feet could not feel better. The unique feel to the Happy Feet insoles come alive when I walk on them, kind of squishy. I can feel the change in the fluid moving with each step. I wasn't sure I could stand them, I'm very foot sensitive. After a couple of wears it wasn't such a weird feeling anymore.

I tried a S size 7.5-8 Happy Feet® Insoles and it fitted perfectly in my shoe. They can be trimmed to fit and can be worn in many shoes including sandals. They do not take up much room in your shoe with their thin and slim design. The messaging insoles are described to be like walking on a water bed, which is absolutely right description. Maybe Happy Feet can help with your foot pain.

Happy Feet® Insoles help relieve:

Corns & Calluses
Heel Pain & Spurs
Poor Circulation
Back & Knee Pain
Metatarsalgia
Morton’s Neuroma
Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
Bunions
Fibromyalgia
Plantar Fasciitis

Happy Feet® 100% glycerin filled insoles provide comfort and relief by distributing weight evenly and absorbing impact with every massaging step. Happy Feet® Insoles easily transfer to different pairs of shoes and last up to six times longer than ordinary brands. Happy Feet® insoles are manufactured in the USA by American craftsmen and come with both a one year warranty and a 30-day money back guarantee.

3 Distinct Actions Deliver Maximum Comfort:

Absorbs Impact & Reduces Fatigue

The insole “floats" the foot on a cool cushion of natural food-quality glycerin to absorb shock and fill all the spaces between your foot and shoe giving a custom fit. This action reduces fatigue, relieves foot, ankle, knee and back pain.

Distributes Weight & Reduces Friction

With every step, dynamic fluid-flow spreads pressure across the entire foot, from heel to arch to ball of the foot. This is especially useful in relief of heel spurs and plantar fasciitis.

Dynamic Fluid Action Massages with Every Step

The dynamic fluid action constantly massages nerve endings in the feet which facilitates circulation to the feet and legs.

Happy Feet would like to help one of my reader's foot health with a pair of Happy Feet Insoles. Planning to purchase a pair use Promo Code: 70728
