Sweepstakes Plasmart PlasmaBike

Plasmart have always been known for unique toys like the plasma car which my boys love. Now, Plasmart introduced the PlasmaBike. This bike is perfect for my 3 year old, who is a little on the clumsy side. Children as young as 18 months old can use it. The Plasmart PlasmaBike stands on its own. Wheels remind me of a tank design, sooooo unique

This toddler's bike, is the ultimate balance bike and takes the cake for cool design and style. So easy for little ones to use and stay balanced. Weighs less than 6 pounds and holds up to 55 pounds. A big plus, Santa's elves will not be putting the PlasmaBike together, it comes already assembled. A perfect gift to add right under your tree. Best used on a smooth surface indoor or outdoor. It can be used on grass, it just does not move as fast.

The PlasmaBike attracted attention from my oldest son, he is at the 50 pound mark with long legs. It's just perfect for my 3 year. This toy is on my favorites list!! It does not use batteries!! Same goes for their Plasma Car, it also does not use batteries. My uncle was very impressed with it and said that it's a nice safe one. He really liked it for the kids.

Thanks to Plasmart for being a part of the Holiday Gift Guide. One winner, Canada or US excluding Hawaii and Alaska. No PO Boxes. Winner will win a Plasmart 
PlasmaBike.

Sweepstakes eDaiperCakes.com


I absolutely love diaper cake center piece at baby showers, they are just so cute. The best part is the mommy to be has diapers & baby supplies on hand for a rainy day. Diaper cakes can be a gift for the new born baby and would make a great Christmas gift for the new baby this year. The diapers used at eDiaperCakes.com will fit babies up to 14 lbs, so as long as the baby weights less than 14lbs the gift is still very practical.

eDiaperCakes.com Musical Frog Diaper Cake & The Lion King Simba Blanky Diaper Cake are adorable, but I love the sophisticated look of the Cream Wisteria Diaper Cake. You must check out The World of Eric Carle Developmental Caterpillar Diaper Cake with the Book Included, it will wiggle it's way into your heart:) Pehaps you would like to design your own cake, there is a DIY diaper cake.

Thanks to eDiaperCakes.com for joining the Holiday Gift Guide. One US Winner is going to have their choice between the two tiered cake either the mini bunny or the mini caterpillar cake.

Sweepstakes Zipz Shoes


 The Zipz Shoes made a hit with my son and his school friends. Interchangeable shoes by unzipping the sole and changing out with upper design. These are very unique and fun, a big hit with my 5 year old son and all his classmates. Hot style and design shoes, that grip the fashion world. A must see item to believe. 

They are  available in adult sizes too! I myself think they are super stylish and love the designs. 
I asked my son about them and this is his response. "They are awesome, they are fun and my friends at school are obsessed with them and wanted to unzip them.  My friends are smiling about them and asking me lots of questions. So much fun, I like to wear them."
I asked are they comfortable or does the zipper bother your feet, he says they are comfortable and the zipper is unnoticeable to his foot. I observed the zipper is a little hard to pull around, but that is also a good thing for little ones. It is easier for the adult to unzip and change Zipz Shoes designs.

Pep is growing

Somebody is growing and has a peppy attitude. Pep loves to cuddle with people and stuffed animals. He is the only puppy out of the litter of 8 that made it. We feed him goat milk bottles. Now he eats food and Monday he will be six weeks old. 

I've been trying not to get attached but, I notice I'm playing with him when the kids are a sleep. 2:30 am is the time he wants out to go to the bathroom. He follows me around tugging at my pants leg.

Don't Light Up!

Today my mom just had a second Pet Scan. Please don't light anything up! I hope every bit of the cancer was removed with the partial lung removal surgery and that it is nowhere else. If any cells were floating the chemo killed them and keep them from my mom.


I know this is something that she will have to have regularly, but it's scary. Not the scan itself, just knowing there is a chance of the monster (Cancer) rearing it's head again. Cross your fingers for my mom's fight and hope she comes out on top in this battle.

I've always been proud of my mom and even more proud of her now.
