Spring fun just a'muddin'!!

I can't believe this weather we have been blessed with so far this spring in Minnesota. We have been outdoors a lot and my kids have so much fun together. I haven't posted much of what we have been doing, but I took these photos a few weeks ago when the temperature was 70 degree's+.
Nathaniel giving Cole a ride on the trike. Cole hasn't quite got the hang of pedaling yet, but maybe by the end of summer. He sure loves rides, though.

Nathaniel and Caleb. I think they kind of look alike in this photo. Nathaniel is 11 and Caleb is almost 5.

I love this photo! Notice Caleb aiming at the photographer (me). :) I think Madelyn's face is pretty comical in this photo, too.

Ahhh, sweet love. I love the expression on each of their faces.

Nathaniel really is growing into a young man. I can't believe how much he is changing.

Madelyn is riding Caleb's bike. She got a new bike for her birthday from Grandma, but we need to exchange it for a smaller one due to her size. :)
Caleb loves being outside, riding his bike, climbing trees and digging in the dirt. Speaking of dirt...Nathaniel decided to make a few ditches, culverts, and streams (ahem, ...lakes).

Dirt, Check! Bucket, Check! Water, Check! Kids ready for play, Check!

Cole was ready to dig in. I totally enjoyed watching the kids at work, both with each other, and individually. It was a blast snapping photos.
Madelyn's expression is priceless on this photo! I love Caleb's dirty hands, too!
Cole had an idea...

"let's see what dirt tastes like..."

"hmmm...not so much!"
Caleb was really getting into the creation!
Let the waters pour out...and see what happens!



"Look mom, I made a mud ball!"

Friends came over to play and join in the fun! Caleb had a smidgen of dirt on his nose.

Ok, time to really get into the dirt! My kids were so dirty muddy, that I said to just get down to the diaper. It was so nice outside, and they were having such fun!

Yes!! Cool muddy water to trot through!

It was a great afternoon/evening. The kids had such a grand time, and they made memories. The dirt in our back yard has brought so many smiles already this year. It isn't a sand box, but they don't mind. It is handy living on the lake...they have endless water supply (and it is free).

Enter to win a Smart Charger! (and help kids get involved with charities)

Energizer launched a new campaign this year to help raise money for charity, and kids are the ones helping to raise the funds! This campaign, Kids Take Charge, is a video campaign where kids can let others know what happens when their favorite toys/games don't have the "power" (a.k.a. battery juice) in them anymore.
Kids(with their parent’s help) can submit a video of them explaining what happens – what mischief they get into - when their toys run out of power. Creativity is very important with these videos, and the top ten finalists will be asked to pick a charity. Then Energizer will post their video at Energizer.com/recharge along with their charity name and the more “likes” their video gets the bigger portion of a $10,000 donation their charity receives. The parents, of course, will have to submit the videos – it’s the rules – but the first 250 will get a free Smart Charger!
So film them explaining the monkey business that can ensue……and why the Smart Charger is the smart solution. If it’s as funny or as cute as the clips you can view here, you could be one of 10 that will win a cash donation for your favorite charity.
HOW TO ENTER
Film a video – 60 seconds or less – of your child explaining what happens when their toy runs out of battery power (have fun with it!)
Include why the Smart Charger is a good way to keep batteries charged and toys working, or show a “Take Charge or Else” sign like the one in the video (download it here or get creative and make one yourself)
Upload your video to www.youtube.com and include #recharge in the title

Umi shoes for Spring & Summer!

I love Umi Shoes, and I think that they offer such quality and design for their footwear! I got an adorable pair of sandals for Cole to review, the Gecko (in chocolate/tan color) and I can't rave about them enough! I think Cole looks adorable in the Umi sandals and I love how these sandals are designed! The heel is covered, and the sides are open making for a great summer shoe.
Cole loves wearing his new sandals, and they are easy to put on! Two velcro straps make it easy to put these adorable sandals on and off. I love how the toes are covered with the Umi Gecko sandals, too!
Umi's shoes are made with high quality leather, which make the shoes last a long time. I think that Umi's shoes are very flexible and wear super! My kids love to run, and the Umi's last a long time.
Don't these cute little baby feet look great in the Gecko Umi Sandals? I think these sandals make for the perfect summer wear! With my son walking/running this summer, I am so thankful that he has Umi on his feet!
Umi shoes range in sizes for babies, toddlers and older kids. The sizes are in Euro, and the chart on their website is easy to understand to see what size your child would need.

Thanks to Umi, my little toddler will be cruising in style and comfort this summer. I highly recommend Umi for your children's feet! To learn more about Umi, check out their website!

I was sent a pair of Umi sandals to review. I was not compensated in anyway for my review. The opinions and statements in this review are of my own. I was given the product for my personal opinion and option to share with my readers.

Energizer Weather Preparedness Tool Kit Review & Giveaway

Spring is in the air, flowers blooming, trees budding...and bad weather could be lurking around the corner. It is important to be prepared when you face bad weather and your power goes out, or you are in your basement due to tornado/storm warnings.
Energizer, the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) and the American Meteorological Society (AMS) are working together to help families prepare for whatever weather situations spring, summer and hurricane seasons might bring their way. A key reminder in preparedness is to use flashlights instead of candles if a storm knocks out the power. Many home fires are started by burning candles left unattended, with an average of 15,000 home fires caused each year.* I was sent the Energizer Tool Kit to review! I love this kit! It is packed with the essentials needed to prepare you for bad weather. The recommended emergency power kit includes a flashlight for each member of the family, a battery-powered radio for weather updates, a battery-powered cell phone charger to stay connected to loved ones and extra batteries, including those for critical devices such as insulin pumps, hearing aids and blood pressure monitors.
The Energizer Weatheready flashlight has posted on it an important check list mentioning the important things to have ready for a storm or severe conditions. It is a very helpful check list. I really like the super bright LED light in the flashlight.
The battery-powered radio included in the tool kit is so helpful, too. I think it gets great reception, considering it's size. I think that the mini radio is perfect to get information to the weather, but small enough to not be a burden.
This kit also has plenty of extra batteries. Energizer Ultimate Lithium and Energizer MAX batteries (AA, and D) provide long-lasting power before, during and after the storm. Lithium batteries have a long storage life, perform well in extreme temperatures and are perfect for use in LED flashlights and other high-tech devices, while Energizer MAX batteries are an ideal power source for standard flashlights and lanterns.
The battery-powered cell phone charger is a must in today's society. Most people have cell phones, and those phones are great because you don't need a land line. So, to have a battery powered cell phone charger, is extremely helpful. I love that this charger will just keep charging up to 500 times!
***WIN IT!!***

National Geographic Little Kids Magazine (REVIEW & GIVEAWAY)

My kids love getting their own mail, and I think it is great when companies come out with magazines just for kids. I recently got the opportunity to review for National Geographic Little Kids and I am thrilled with what they designed perfectly for the age 3 to 6 year old range. My 3 year old and (almost) 5 year old absolutely love this magazine! The kids love the pictures of all the animals, games and puzzles to help further their education, and all the stories.

The National Geographic Little Kids magazine is packed with teaching tools to help parents inspire a love of learning in their children. The Association of Educational Publishers chose National Geographic Little Kids for its highest award, the Golden Lamp, in 2008 and named the magazine Periodical of the Year in 2008 and 2009. National Geographic Little Kids also won a Parents’ Choice Gold Award for 2008, 2009 and 2010.

The photographs of the animals are great, and my kids and I really enjoy talking about the animals, like what they do, where they live, what they eat, etc. The National Geographic Kids magazine has 24-pages in each issue contains animal stories, answers to questions on kids’ favorite topics, features on different cultures to inspire a sense of understanding about the world, plus interactive experiments to introduce simple science. My kids love the cards inside the magazine, and love to pretend that they are trading cards (like their older brother has trading cards). There are a set of six cards inside each magazine that come out, and have pictures of animals with their facts on it.

I really like how the National Geographic Little Kids is a perfectly sized magazine for little hands, and my kids love imitating us by holding their magazine and sitting in the chair. I love that my kids "teach" each other about what they are learning in their National Geographic Little Kids magazine. This great children's magazine is available by subscription for $15 a year (six issues; international subscription cost varies) and on newsstands for $3.99 a copy.

Parents can explore online with their kids at littlekids.nationalgeographic.com.

We recommend this great magazine for your family! My kids love it, and we are happy to share this with you!

***WIN IT!!***

KidsCraft Playhouses : Review & Giveaway!!

When my kids can use their imagination with play, and step into creativity...I am all for it! I was recently sent a really fun Playhouse for my kids to explore, decorate, color/marker, and make their own. (I helped a little) KidsCraft Playhouses: made from 100% recycled materials, are cardboard playhouses that fit 2-3 kids. I was sent the Shuttle Imagination to review, and my kids were thrilled! The Shuttle came in one large box, and the set up only took a little while. I like how the cardboard is sturdy...because my kids are busy, and they need something that will hold up to their test.
Here is a picture of my little guy, Cole age 1, entering the spaceship. Cole was so excited about going inside to be with his sister. He loved just going in and out.
As you can see, my daughter loved the Shuttle Imagination, too! She was so excited and could barely wait for me to put it together. She loved looking through the holes, which were designed like space shapes: circles, stars, flying rocks, etc.
Easily the Shuttle Imagination holds 2-3 kids comfortably. I love that the KidsCraft Playhouses are built for more than one child, because kids love to play together.
Peek-a-boo Madelyn! She loved looking out at her brothers. Isn't she cute?
Here is Caleb looking out, he loved this new playhouse, too. Here is his design around his face that he decorated. I think that the KidsCraft Playhouse is a great place for kids to let out their creativity and draw all over something (that is OK) and they can make it their own. I also love that this playhouse is already ready for kids to play in, you just need to assemble it for them. I have made many play houses out of card board boxes, and it is tough getting scissors through the card board, and it doesn't always look that great. However, the KidsCraft Playhouses are designed with saving the parent's time in mind (in my opinion).
The kids all had a great time coloring, thinking, drawing, and picking just the right colors for their Shuttle. It was fun to see them so hard at work.
I love Caleb's person on the side of the Shuttle. :) It is just precious to me...
I highly recommend the KidsCraft Shuttle Imagination to you. I was thrilled with this product, and my kids absolutely love it. This makes for a great indoor project when it is raining or snowing out...and my kids have so much fun in it all the time. (especially when I am making dinner).

*KidsCraft offers two designs: Shuttle Imagination ($69.95) and Creation Cottage ($59.95).
The Shuttle Imagination measures 39”L x 34”W x 72”H. Fin attachments are 12” long.

About the creators:
Two dads and a grandfather from Atlanta got a first hand look at how the cardboard box captures a child’s way of thinking. While packing up their financial services business, moving from one office to another, their kids tagged along. Although the fathers brought along playthings like coloring books and crayons for the 3 to 7 year olds, it was the empty boxes that captivated the youngsters. The dads saw the sparks of a business and KidsCraft Playhouses was born.

John Deere Earth Mover Action: DVD

Since Caleb is really getting into all the big trucks, diggers, dozers, and other really "awesome" machines (as Caleb says)....I love that John Deere has their own DVD video out!
TM Books & Video releases the all-new John Deere Earth Mover Action rumbling onto DVD April 13, 2010. This 40-minute tribute to big-machines – excavators, front-end loaders, graders, scrapers, and backhoes, includes a fascinating look at John Deere’s newest – the fast, powerful, four-track 764 Dozer.

My son was just thrilled to watch this DVD and he just couldn't get enough of the big machinery moving all that dirt, and snow. Caleb was amazed that the big machines could do what they do (and frankly, I was quite amazed with this DVD, too).

John Deere big machines work hard in interesting places like: a grader plowing snow in the Rockies, excavators digging dirt and loading big articulated dump trucks, dozers climbing hills and pushing dirt, front-end loaders moving big rocks in a quarry, and more! This is a great DVD for those kids that love to see action in large machines! The powerful, big-time earth-mover action that will thrill and delight young and old alike. The viewer will learn interesting facts about these mighty vehicles and play the “Let’s Pretend” game where young viewers imagine being the operator of an earth-moving machine.

Stop-action segments feature die-cast toys and articulated super heroes mining candy at the Big Rock Candy Mountain Quarry. Sing-along to all-new toe tapping tunes by award-winning singer/songwriter James Coffey. Kids will learn, laugh, and want more.

John Deere Earth Mover Action, recommended for ages three and older, is now available for a suggested retail price of $14.95. To order, call toll free 1-800-892-2822 or visit TMBV.com.
