Robeez and kids that need shoes

Many people are caught up in the Christmas season, wondering about how many presents they need to buy, if they will get that new computer they wanted, but alot of families don't have the luxury of doing that. Now would be a great time to think about how you can give back this season.
Our family is struggling along with others during this recession. We both work two shifts and feel lucky that we are able to have this opportunity! We show our gratitude by giving back to the community through Toys for Tots, Salvation Army and donating to charities when we purchase items at the store.
I wanted to let you know of a campaign going on right now through Twittermoms called K.I.D.S. (Kids in Distressed Situations). K.I.D.S give to children in need by providing new clothes, shoes, etc. donated by leading manufacturers and retailers. Now would be a great time to help a child by buying a pair of shoes from Robeez. For every pair of Robeez Soft Sole purchases, Stride Rite will donate that pair to K.I.D.S (Kids In Distressed Situations) through December 23rd.
Please check out Robeez Season of Giving for more information.

I have to tell you about my favorite pair of Robeez shoes. The Robeez Boots Dog & Bones - espresso/tan/red are sooo adorable! My little Zach would look so cute in them!
So, head on over there and get that special little one in your life a new pair of shoes!

Five tips or tricks to getting your kids to bed

Now that my daughter just turned five, it's actually been harder to get her to go to bed, when I thought it would be easier. I've come up with some ideas how to help her ease into going to bed.

1. Set a routine. This takes practice and I know it can be hard reinforcing them but you need to stick to it.
2. Give them a warm bath. Lavender baby wash seems to help relax little ones.
3. Let kids unwind for 30 minutes. No tv or video games right before they go to sleep.
4. Get ready for bed. Getting PJs on might help them to know it's relaxing time.
5. Read to them. Reading a book can be fun and they might get sleepy in the process.
Now it's your turn!
Twittermoms and Drama U are having a contest!
So what are your tips and tricks to getting your kids to go to bed and stay there? Twittermoms and Dramu U would like to hear about your routine and will reward the first 100 bloggers who share their stories a pink Cozy!

Win Consumer Reports Best Baby Products book

As part of Team Mom, I recently was contacted about some helpful information for moms of infants that I'd like to share with you. Most of us already know that breast milk is best for babies, but for moms who either can't breastfeed or choose not to for various reason, formula is the staple of these babies' nourishment. Using store-brand formulas can save up to 50% off of brand-name prices.

According to Dr. Barbara Levine of Weill Cornell Medical College, Buying a heavily marketed, expensive brand-name formula from a big pharmaceutical company does not get your baby any closer to human breast milk than a store brand formula. Mothers can choose to supplement their breast milk with any formula because all formulas are regulated by the FDA and nutritionally equivalent.

Consumer Reports Best Baby Products, 10th Edition book cites the nutritional and monetary value of switching to store brands.

Looking for formula coupons?

Just visit the Store Brand Formula Website and print some to help you save money at lots of retail locations.

To get a heads-up not only on baby formula but on hundreds of other baby products, check out the Consumer Reports Best Baby Products, 10th Edition ($16.95). This 368-page book is a great resource for all kinds of baby items, tested to the strident standards of Consumer Reports.

Sesame Street K'Nex and 400 Pieces Tub

I had the opportunity to review Sesame Street K’nex. Sesame Street is HUGE in my house. There are four Sesame Street K’nex sets in all. The set we received featured Elmo as a ice cream truck driver. He is made of K’nex pieces – three per character. There is the head, body w/arms and bottom w/feet.
The set is designed for children between the ages of 2 and 5.
Building the truck was fun and relatively easy. We followed the directions, my oldest (5 years old) handing me pieces. It was easy to do and I think my grandson will soon be able to build these.
The four Sesame Street Neighborhood Collection Building Sets are:
Ice Cream Truck – Comes with Elmo. Truck has wheels to be pushed and rolled. ($9.99)
Police Station Building Set – comes with Elmo and Ernie ($19.99)
1-2-3 Brownstone Building Set – comes with Elmo and Cookie Monster ($19.99)
Police Car Building Set – Comes with Elmo. Car has wheels to be pushed and rolled.($9.99)
The pieces are big and chunky, similar to Duplo Legos. This reduces the chance that a small child can swallow a piece.
Overall, I love everything about this set. I do want to see more sets with more characters, like the Count, Bert, Big Bird and more. I think the character sizes are great and Sesame Street really makes an impact on young children.
WIN – WIN – WIN
Right now there is a Make a K’NEXion video contest going on. All you have to do is make a video that your child’s K’nex building skills and features your child building with select K’NEX products. Be creative, use your imagination, construct your own story – as long as the video features building with K’NEX the possibilities are endless. Official rules are available at Knex.com.
The ten best videos will be featured on KNEX.com and one winning video will receive $1,000 worth of K’NEX toys.
Contest Dates: November 4th – December 7th, 2009

The Mom Buzz received the Police Station Building Set from Team Mom to review. This is my opinion and thoughts on the products. To learn about other Buzzworthy Products and enter Hot Contests, be sure to look through the rest of the site.

**************
I also received a K’NEX 400 piece tub free of charge from TeamMom to review. I’ve never purchased K’NEX so it was totally new to me and my family. My son loves to put things together and create new items. He was excited when he saw what it was and wanted to build something immediately especially since the idea book that is included had a model of a truck on it. The booklet actually contains step by step instructions for 20 different models.

e truck we made, is that the wheels actually rolled like a real toy car. It wasn’t just a model that would just sit on a shelf, he could continue his imaginative play (another skill) with it also. K’NEX provides wheels on cars, propellers on airplanes, the ferris wheel and merry-go-round models spin. So after they build they can play with what they built.
Great thing too is that if you already have Lego’s or other K’NEX sets you can combine them and expand on your building system.
Clean is easy. Although the pieces are small (age range 7 and up) clean up is easy. The storage tub contains 400 pieces but can hold so many more. In fact, if you start a project but don’t get to finish it in one sitting, simply place it in the tub along with all the other pieces. There’s plenty of room for it all. And if your child wants to take it over a friends house to play with, just drop it all back in the tub and snap on the top and it’s ready to go!
The suggested retail price is $20.99 but for 400 pieces that’s a pretty great deal. It’s available at Target, Wal-Mart and Toys “R” us. If you’d like more information check out KNEX.com oh and while you are there make sure you check out the Make a K’NEXion video contest.

Dora Christmas

My daughter loves Dora.
She has everything Dora, down to the underwear.
Her favorite thing about Dora is when she does Holiday things, which brings me to Christmas.
We have 5 things that we like to do around Christmas time. I like to instill traditions, and I hope that my kids will carry it on to their families.
What are they, you ask?
Well, I'm gonna tell ya!
The first tradition we do is putting our tree up at Thanksgiving. I love to have it up to start the holiday.
Our second is to change the colors for our Christmas tree every year. I know, it's crazy, but it keeps it fresh and it's fun voting on what colors.
Our third is, we make a gingerbread house and "eat" it on Christmas eve-usually, there isn't much we can eat because it's hard as a rock!
Our fourth tradition would be that we make cookies and invite the family over for cookies and hot cocoa.
Our last tradition is, that the kids get to go to our Festival of Trees and we vote on our favorite.
Now that I'm all in the festive mood, I'd like to tell you about Dora's holiday special coming this season.
We are looking forward to it and so should you!

Little Blends yogurt

I have been looking for some way to hide vegetables in my youngest child's meals. She isn't too bad about eating them but alot of the time, they sit there on her plate.
I really am not good about sneaking anything into their diet. I've tried smoothies and they go Yuck! I've tried hiding corn under ranch dressing-they go Yuck! I've been at my wit's end over it.
When I was introduced to Little Blends, an all-natural yogurt blend that included fruits AND veggies, I was thrilled! This reminds me of how they do the baby food but with flavor!
I'm also excited to find out about the contest they are holding right now at Twittermoms:
http://www.twittermoms.com/forum/topics/sneaking-fruits-veggies-into

The first 100 bloggers to enter the contest will win a Thermos snack jar to keep their cool snacks fresh for on-the-go, plus a coupon off Horizon’s new Little Blends yogurt.

So, get your butt over there and win one to try and let me know what you think!

I need to get at least 2 to 3 outfits for that money and they have just what I'm looking for!

Master Lock-for kids!

Now that my son is in Junior High, more responsibilities come with the nervousness of being with the big kids. We now have to get a lock for his locker. I found out about these cool new locks and I wanted to let you about.
Master Lock is introducing a brand new technology with two new families of patented combination locks –
1500iD Speed Dial™ Set-Your-Own Combination Lock
1590D Set-Your-Own Combination Lock
Both of these locks were designed with students’ unique learning styles in mind

The Speed Dial Set-Your-Own Combination Lock opens on up-down-left-right directional movements, instead of the traditional rotary dial, and can be customized with letters, shapes or numbers, depending on how students most easily remember their combination.

The Set-Your-Own Combination Lock is a traditional rotary dial for students more comfortable with that method, but with a new reset feature that allows them to choose their own combination using, letters, numbers or both.
You need to visit their site and see just how cool these are!

Oh, and a very cool feature your child will love is a Facebook app called, “Master Lock Secret Vault”. They will be able to keep their secret code safe and secure. They also will have a chance to win a cash prize in the “Master Lock $5,000 Secure Your Future Sweepstakes” just for signing up for it!

Responsible Sports

My daughter and son need a sport to play. I have my daughter in dance and she loves it but wants to get into karate. My son, on the other hand, doesnt care for sports and WE want him to get into karate to build self confidence and for the physical exercise. When I came across Responsible Sports, http://responsiblesports.com/ it made me think about what sports and kids entails. Theres more to it then just playing a game. It builds responisibility and self esteem. This site gives you the tools to become a responsible sport parent. They also have a community for other parents to talk about their sporting related topics. So, why not head on over to their site if you are a sport parent and find out how you can get more involved in your sport child's life!

Baskin Robbins, here i come!


I love Baskin Robbins!
I cant get enough of their ice cream cakes or their Reese’s® Peanut Butter Cup on a cone. With the summer so hot, ice cream seems to hit the spot.
I can even remember when I was a little girl and we would go to Baskin's to get a dip with my mom on Sunday's after church and before we went shopping. When I think ice cream, I think Baskin Robbins over all these other new ice cream places. They are a true reminder of my childhood and I want my kids to have that memory too!

Why not try an ice cream cake for your child's next party? You'll be a hit with their creamy outside and the cool delious ice cream cake on the inside. I'm getting all hungry thinking about it!
So, head on over to Baskin Robbins today when that heat starts rising-your kids will thank you!

Helpers Market

Have you ever wondered how people connect with people to buy/sell stuff? We all have a network of people. Why, your dad, mom, brother Alex, cousin Joe and his wife Jane are actually considered a network. It's as simple as that.
Helpers Market is aware of that too. That's why they've come up with a way for you to access your network and help others-all while getting paid to do so!

It' really a 3 way win opportunity. "Posters" have a place to list the item they want to sell. "Helpers" can earn an income for helping someone find a buyer. "Buyers" get that much needed product. Helpers Market just helps both parties find a virtual meeting ground.

How it works:
Posters ask Helpers to help them sell an item.
Helpers use their network of people to find a buyer.
If Helper finds a buyer and the sale goes through, Posters give Helpers a finders fee.

It's very simple! So, if you are looking to sell something or buy something, head on over to Helpers Market and go for it!

When should you give your child a cell phone?

This has been the talk among parents recently and I am in the same situation. With a 13 year old that's been begging me to get him a phone, I'm faced with the question, "When is it OK to give your child a cell phone?"
I think it depends on each individual child. A cell phone is a big responsibility and even an adult can find themselves getting in trouble with going over minutes and racking up a big bill. If you feel that your child is showing responsibility with chores and being wise about different tasks like how they spend their allowance, then maybe they can handle the responsibility of having a phone.
But no matter how responsible, they still need rules set for them:
1. Draw up a contract- List what you expect from them and the limits of their cell phone. Include them if you'd like, but don't put anything that you are not comfortable with.
2.Set a limit on how many text messages during the week- Most phones keep a record of how many texts have been used. Set up a punishment if they go over like they have to pay for any text over the agreed amount.
3. Limit talk time-limiting their talk time to one hour per night is a reasonable amount of time. This also saves you money if your plan has free nights.
4.Homework must be done before any talking or texting- Most schools do not allow the use of phones during school, so you shouldn't have a problem with them using their phone during school time.
5. No browsing the Internet- a definite rule for every child!

Having a cell phone can teach your child to be responsible and something that they will use in other aspects in life. Don't forget to praise them for following the rules and help them to continue succeeding!

Hip Hop Baby Dvd Series

If you want a great video series that will get your kids off their duff and exercising, Hip Hop Baby is the video series for you! It is for ages 2-6, and I have a four year old that can prove it!



There are 4 DVDs so far in the Hip Hop Baby Series. Each DVD encourages physical activity. It can also teach kids to follow instructions by the songs topics like, healthy eating, exercise, ABCs, numbers, and even animals. Each child was able to do their own dance while they were singing the songs. The songs aren’t annoying like some kid songs can be. Kids sing songs like Head Shoulders Knees & Toes and there were some new songs too. The DVDs are about 30 minutes long, which is perfect for all attention spans.
So, get on the ball and order a Hip Hop Baby dvd for your little one today!

Fairfield Bathrooms Direct

I love to look in magazines and on the internet for ideas to remodel or decorate bathrooms. There are so many ways you can make your bathroom look awesome, it's hard to choose from. I just recently came across Fairfield Bathrooms Direct online and found many neat bathroom remodeling ideas!
There are many brands that they carry and I just love this dual control two taphole bath filler by Ideal Standard Bathrooms.


They also have lots of other bathroom accessories from soap dishes to towel racks. These seem to be more on the modern side which looks very sleek in bathrooms and give an added value.
I'm very into cool mirrors and this site carrys lots of modern mirrors with backlighting and sleek shapes.
If you are looking to add a shower, you've got to check out the Kudos shower line- they are not your ordinary shower units! They have curved styles and walk ins that are to die for!

Bella Sara

I do not know if you've heard of trading cards for girls, but there is a new company called, Bella Sara. Bella Sara is centered around horses and I love horses! In the pack there were tattoos, stickers, five cards and a mini game. Each card has a positive message under a picture of a horse and a code to unlock a special "treasure".
Bella Sara is not just about trading cards. They have these tiny horses that are part of thier Miniature Series. They are so cute! They are made of this really soft velvet and are tiny and there is even a little stand for it.
You get to pick your own login name and it was pretty easy to navigate through the site. There is a lot to do at BellaSara. Kids get to take care of their horses, print pages to color and read stories. Bella Sara Treasures is the eighth series of the Bella Sara trading cards line.

Right now through April 30th, Bella Sara is having a contest where kids can win a Treasure Hunt Party.
I would like to thank Team Mom for this review opportunity.

Five tips for making sure your kids are getting the important vitamins and minerals they need for strong bones



I heard about this contest over at Twitter Moms sponsored by Wellesse. For every blogger that enters this contest, they win a free bottle of Liquid Vitamin D!

I've listed my five tips here:

1. Include a multi-vitamin daily. Pretty much any chewable vitamin passes the test flavor test these days. Check to make sure there's plenty of Vitamin D.

2. Make sure you don't forget the greens. The more colorful, the better. Vegetables are a GREAT source of Vitamins A,B,C and D.

3. Play outside. The sun is a natural source of vitamins and makes them in a better mood.

4. Breast feed! Start out right by nursing for as long as you can.


5. Don't forget about the dairy. Whole milk provides Vitamin D and helps keeps their bones healthy!


What are your top five tips for making sure your kids are getting the important vitamins and minerals they need for strong bones?

Qlubb

I was asked to review a site called Qlubb.com. I didnt think I needed it since I use other groups to let people know about things going on. I found Qlubb to be easier to use than those alternative solutions. While it has the group email capabilities like the others, it also has shared sign up sheets, photo sharing, member roster, file sharing and much more.
If you have a big family with lots of events, this online tool is perfect for you. You can upload photos from a family reunion, wedding or any event that the rest of the family that may be spread across the country wouldnt otherwise be able to enjoy privately. Do you have a playgroup, church group, sports team, book club, or any group event that you help organize meetings? You can now email your whole group about upcoming events invidually or as a group with a group login and password or with individual ones.
So, try it out-did I mention it's free??

Holey Donuts!



Do you love donuts? Krispy Kremes? Dunkin' Donuts? I think we all love donuts but don't love the calories or high fat content. Well, you won't have to give up donuts anymore-not with Holey Donuts!

Holey Donuts! have less than 3 grams of fat and you know why? Because they aren't deep fried. Yep, that's right. A donut that doesn't have all the yucky old oil soaked into it. These donuts are not like any others around!

Holey Donuts! so graciously let me review their vanilla crumb flavored donut and I was excited! I have to admit that at first I wondered how do donuts arrive in the mail and how on earth are they prepared to be delivered this way? So, when I opened the mailing box and took one of the donut boxes out and read the directions than I was REALLY hesitant. It said to just put it in the microwave. I was like, NO WAY. Just microwave it? Ok, I'm game. So, I put one of the yummy looking donuts on a plate and did as the directions said and when the microwave beeped, I could already smell the delicious aroma of these glazed jewels.

I got out a fork-yes, a fork. These are gourmet donuts didn't you know? I took a bite and I was hooked. This donut was the best and low in calories and fat? How can you beat that?Realizing that this donut was vanilla flavored and tasted so good I had to see what other flavors they have. I quickly jumped onto the computer to find out and as I looked through the list, I did the high five at the computer monitor and yelled, YES- THEY HAVE CHOCOLATE FLAVORED DONUTS! Don't like chocolate? Ha,ha. Sorry, hard to ask that. Well, they have lots of other flavors and even cinnamon rolls!

So, my advice is for you to order a bunch and store them in your freezer and when you have one of those days when you just need to satisfy that sweet tooth without guilt, they'll be right there for the picking.

Early Start Books

I was given the opportunity to review a couple of books from Early Start, a slide book of numbers and a flip-flap book of fruit.

These books are not like other books in the sense that they give parents ideas to help teach their child their numbers, colors and alphabet. I'm always wondering what more I can do to keep my daughter interested and get the most out of our reading time together.
These are sturdy and derable, not like other books I have purchased in the past.
They even are in Dr. Toy's 100 best children's products and are very affordable at only 6.99 a book.
My daughter keeps her books next to her bed and we have lots of fun going through the activities and helping hand ideas.
Visit their site at:
