Holgate Baby Blocks

I love coming across super products for my kids to enjoy hours of fun playing with! I received the Holgate Baby Blocks to review and I can say that they are made with amazing quality! The blocks are a bit bigger (than ones I grew up with) measuring 1-3/4". I am really impressed with how these blocks were designed. The blocks have great, colorful graphics on each of the six sides. I can easily introduce colors, shapes, and letters to my kids with the Holgate Baby Blocks! Each Holgate Baby Block set includes 6 blocks. The blocks are made with Hard Maple and the corners of the blocks are rounded. The finish on the blocks are coated with a Non toxic finish. I really think it is super that the Holgate Baby Blocks are made in the USA by Holgate Toys! Holgate Toys are America's Finest Wooden Toys since 1789! Holgate Toys were featured at the 1939 World's Fair in New York. The designer of the first Holgate toys were by Jarvis Rockwell, who is the brother of illustrator Norman Rockwell. Retail price for a set of 6 Holgate Baby Blocks is $16.99, which is a great price for the value you receive! These blocks are recommended for ages one and up.
Holgate Baby Blocks are one of the many great (American made) toys carried by NMCtoys! NMCtoys.com was developed by parents of two small children in 2007, with the mission to provide quality toys that stimulate and challenge a child's mind. They were very frustrated with all the toys that were made in China being recalled. The good, quality toys that we grew up with no longer existed. NONE of the toys found in NMCtoys.com are Made in China. People can rest assured that they will get quality, and safe toys when they purchase from NMCtoys! NMCtoys.com typically deals with smaller manufacturers and posts the country of origin for all toys. NMCtoys.com pledges that, "our toys will last....even if they don't have lights or make sounds." Many of their toys have received awards and meet or exceed USA safety standards. Some of our toys offer a lifetime guarantee from the manufacturer. NMCtoys.com is not the manufacturer of toys. We are a retailer of quality European and American Toys.
I love our Holgate Baby Blocks! I highly recommend these to all families!

Clean Fun with Spin Master's Products!

My kids love playing with water. Most kids love playing with water! Bath time is a great time for our kids to just play in the water with their toys! They also love playing with bubbles! I am a happy Team Mom member and I received two (very fun and inventive) products from Spin Master to review! I love finding out and trying new products for our kids! I love helping spread the information on to you, my readers!
The first product I am going to show you is the Kid Kleen Bath Blizzard. What a fun, FUN product to spark an array of smiles on your children~ it sure did with Caleb and Madelyn!

The Kid Kleen Bath Blizzard makes a TON of bubbles, and they feel so light and soft. I really like how the bubbles don't make the water soapy. The bubbles do last quite awhile. Caleb and Madelyn just giggled with glee over the volcano of bubbles erupting from the Bath Blizzard! The only thing I would like to see differently with this product, is it leaks from the bottom. It is best to leave it in your tub to drip out, or pour the remaining water/soap out when you are finished.
Kid Kleen products are safe and non-toxic, wheat and tears-free~ PLUS hypo-allergenic. That is a big plus for our family, since my kids are super sensitive to certain soaps.
The Kid Kleen Bath Blizzard operates on battery power, and just a turn of the knob creates a waterfall of bubbles. There is a handy strap that you can use to attach the Bath Blizzard to the faucet or towel rack. The retail price for the Bath Blizzard is $19.99 and comes with a bottle of bubble bath soap. I think for $19.99, you get hours of sheer fun in the tub for your kids! You can purchase this fun toy at Target, Walmart or ToysRUs.

The next amazing product I received to review from Spin Master was the Aquadoodle Draw 'N Doodle Mat! This product is a huge hit at our house! My kids love to color, draw, paint...and this covers all those activities in one! The Aquadoodle pads are created so those that use them, can draw with water! The Aquadoodle comes with an Aqua Pen that you fill with water. Then, you just use the Aqua Pen on the Aquadoodle mat, and the fun lasts over and over! I really think this product is super because the mess isn't really a mess. The water creation disappears from drying, and the drawing can become a new creation on the mat. Kids can dip their fingers or hands in water and doodle on the Aquadoodle pads that way, as well. The Aquadoodle Mat is a large, soft, fabric mat that can be used on the floor or table. I really like that this mat can be used over and over again, too. No waste there! Plus, if the kids do try to venture away from the Aquadoodle Draw 'n Doodle mat with the Aqua Pen to draw, it is filled with water, so there won't be any permanent marks left on any other items (furniture, walls, tables, etc.). Aquadoodle offers many other great water doodle products, as well. I think we need to look into one of those mini mats for travel times. The Aquadoodle Draw 'n Doodle Mat (with pen) retails for $24.99, and can be purchased at many retailers including Walmart, Target and ToysRUs. I think this is a must-have for those of you with toddlers! (I enjoy it, too!)

“Strawberry Shortcake Holiday Dreams Collection”: DVD review and GIVEAWAY!

I loved Strawberry Shortcake when I was little, and this is a toy collection that I am so glad that it is returning for my kids to enjoy too.
I was excited to review the all new Strawberry Shortcake adventure series on DVD~ three DVD's in this collection of favorite adventures. “Strawberry Shortcake Holiday Dreams Collection” was released on October 7th. The three DVD's that come in this great gift pack include: “Berry Merry Christmas,” “Big Country Fun” and “Let’s Dance.” This is a perfect gift to get for Christmas.
Here is what the movies are about:
Berry Merry Christmas - Christmas is coming!
Strawberry Shortcake wants to do something special for her friends, so she travels to a magical place called Holidayland with Honey Pie Pony, searching for the perfect presents. And she finds them! Then, a trip to the North Pole and a visit with Santa make the adventure truly wonderful. Unfortunately, a pile of melting snowballs turns Strawberry's carefully selected gifts into a soggy mess. In the end, Strawberry learns that the best gift of all is the gift of friendship.

Let’s Dance - Strawberry Shortcake and her Friends love to dance – and the Peculiar Purple Pie Man of Porcupine Peak is taking advantage of that! He has Sour Grapes open a phony dance studio, posing as a famous teacher … so she can keep the kids busy while he plunders the berry crops, but things don’t go as planned. Sour Grapes begin to enjoy teaching Strawberry & Friends and can’t bring herself to betray them, much to Pie Man’s chagrin.

Big Country Fun - Yee-ha! Strawberry Shortcake and her friends are in for some of the berry best fun in the West! Strawberry and Angel Cake take jobs at the Berry Prairie Dude Ranch and turn out to be excellent little cowgirls! But when the two friends must compete to become “Best Ranch Hand,” they lose sight of their responsibilities – and their horseback riding trail! Will they realize that being careful and listening to direction is more important than winning? More challenges gallop in when the Purple Pie Man tries to put Carmel Corn’s farm out of business so he can replace it with an amusement park – PieManLand! Hoping to help out, Strawberry and her pals put on a good old-fashioned country fair to earn enough money to keep their berry favorite farm in business.

Big Country Fun is my favorite DVD in this Holiday series. I know a few little girls who would love this set for Christmas or an upcoming Birthday! (besides Madelyn) The “Strawberry Shortcake Holiday Dreams Collection” comes with 5 Holiday greeting cards from American Greetings. The cards are post cards, so it is a fun way for kids to mail them to friends or family. Of coarse the cards are of Strawberry Shortcake and friends.

FIREPROOF Your Marriage!

Terry and I went to the movie Fireproof last night. It was an amazing movie! I can honestly say that I think it is the best movie I have ever seen! I was laughing and crying...even to the point of bawling! The movie has such a powerful message. I think it is a must see for all those who are married~especially! I think that the producers did an amazing job with this movie.
This is what the movie is about:
At work, inside burning buildings, Capt. Caleb Holt (Kirk Cameron) lives by the old firefighter's adage: Never leave your partner behind. At home, in the cooling embers of his marriage, he lives by his own rules. Growing up, Catherine Holt (Erin Bethea) always dreamed of marrying a loving, brave firefighter...just like her daddy. Now, after seven years of marriage, Catherine wonders when she stopped being "good enough" for her husband. Regular arguments over jobs, finances, housework, and outside interests have readied them both to move on to something with more sparks.
As the couple prepares to enter divorce proceedings, Caleb's father challenges his son to commit to a 40-day experiment: "The Love Dare." Wondering if it's even worth the effort, Caleb agrees-for his father's sake more than for his marriage. When Caleb discovers the book's daily challenges are tied into his parents' newfound faith, his already limited interest is further dampened. While trying to stay true to his promise, Caleb becomes frustrated time and again. He finally asks his father, "How am I supposed to show love to somebody who constantly rejects me?" When his father explains that this is the love Christ shows to us, Caleb makes a life-changing commitment to love God. And with God's help he begins to understand what it means to truly love his wife. But is it too late to fireproof his marriage? His job is to rescue others. Now Caleb Holt is ready to face his toughest job ever...rescuing his wife's heart.

B & H Publishing Group (a division of LifeWay) decided to publish The Love Dare and that LifeWay Church Resources will be publishing a small group curriculum in early 2009 that will be out the same time the Fireproof DVD will release. I think this will be a great for churches and groups to do this study! Can you imagine the help resource this could be for marriages?

*The Love Dare book that was written by Steven and Alex Kendrick. Here are the basics ..."The Love Dare is a 40-day guided devotional experience that will lead your heart back to truly loving your spouse while learning more about the design, nature, and source of true love. Each reading includes Scripture, a statement of principle, the day’s 'dare,' and a journaling area and check box to chart progress."In the introduction to The Love Dare, the authors lay out the three elements of each chapter.
First, a unique aspect of love will be discussed. Read each of these carefully and be open to a new understanding of what it means to genuinely love someone.
Second, you will be given a specific dare to do for your spouse. Some will be easy and some very challenging. But take each dare seriously, and be creative and courageous enough to attempt it. Don’t be discouraged if outside situations prevent you from accomplishing a specific dare. Just pick back up as soon as you can and proceed with the journey.
Last, you will be given journal space to log what you are learning and doing and how your spouse is responding. It is important that you take advantage of this space to capture what is happening to both you and your mate along the way. These notes will record your progress and should become priceless to you in the future. (*copied from a Pastor's Blog)

I suggest to all of you to watch this movie!! It isn't in all movie theaters. We drove over a half an hour to the closest theater to us! Trust me, it was well worth the drive! Plus, it helps fund the ministry behind the movie! I think this would be a super movie for churches to show to their congregations!

Maddie is growing up...

Last week, Madelyn became the proud owner of two more teeth. She now has a total of 6 teeth. Yes, she is a late bloomer with getting teeth~ being she is now 19 months old! She is 19 months old, and 19 pounds. She is not small developmentally, though, rather she is advanced. I can say that because the Dr. confirms it, PLUS I am the Mom! :) She did her first, amazing, and perfect somersault on Thursday night! She has been trying for a few months now. She would bend over, touch her head to the floor and either (a) wait for a pull of gravity, or (b) roll over to the side. So, on Thursday night, she did the prep of bending over and putting her head to the floor. I was sitting behind her on the couch, and I reached my toes for her bum to encourage her to roll forward. She was ahead of the game though, because in a split second she had perfectly nailed a beautiful somersault! I was so excited that I screamed, laughed, and clapped all at once. Nathaniel came running in the room and asked what was wrong. I told him it was excited because Madelyn did her first somersault! Then, Madelyn started showing off (Grandma was here) ~ she was playing around all over the floor, and running. I asked her to do another somersault, and she sat down, fell backwards, and tried to roll backwards. I told her she isn't quite ready for that yet.

“Care Bears Flurries of Fun”: movie Reviews and Giveaway!

I grew up with the Care Bears, and I thought they were great! I really liked watching their show, and playing with the animals! I think it is fun that they are back for my kids to enjoy! Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment has come out with a great 3-pack collection of Care Bear movies in one set called, "Care Bears Flurries of Fun!" that just came out on Tuesday, October 7th! This 3 pack collection includes: “Care Bears Oopsy Does It,” “Care Bears Grizzle-ly Adventures” and “Care Bears Ups and Downs." I really think that these videos are fun for younger kids. The movies have good lessons that are taught, and put in a fun cartoon-way. You know they must be good when my little girl asks to watch bears! She is only 19 months old.
Here is a little synopsis of the DVD's:
“Care Bears: Grizzle-ly Adventures” presents two episodes featuring the new bear in the Care Bear’s neighborhood—Grizzle. He’s a mean little bear in a big robot suit who hates caring. In “Broken,” when Share Bear’s favorite necklace is needed to fix her robot friend, Wingnut. Share keeps the necklace and goes to Grizzle instead. This is a test to the Care Bears to see if they can trust Grizzle. “Emma’s Dilemma” things are missing all over Care-a-lot. The Care Bears let Emma help them search, but she ends up missing, too, thanks to Grizzle. Can Emma and the bears find a way out of his trap? This DVD is Caleb's first choice when we watch the movies.
“Care Bears Oopsy Bear Does It,” Oopsy Bear is the only Care Bear without a belly badge. When Cheer and Grumpy Bear build an amusement park for their friends, Oopsy Bear accidentally destroys it. Grizzle, an evil bear, uses Oopsy’s mistake in a plot to steal the Care Bears’ belly badges. But, Oopsy stumbles to the rescue proving you don’t need a badge to be a bear who cares.
“Care Bears Ups and Downs” also features two episodes “Cheer Up," and “Down to Earth.” In “Cheer Up,” Cheer Bear decides to throw a party for Surprise. But she becomes uncheery when Surprise turns out to be not surprised. So she distracts Surprise with “tasks” like picking flowers, hopping through town on one foot, and doing everything in reverse, so that the Bears can plan the party. There is a real surprise in the end, though! In “Down To Earth,” Wingnut’s Care Bear Transporter beams Funshine to Earth so he can teach a lonely young boy how to make friends and have fun. But then the Care Bear Transporter breaks… and unless Wingnut can fix it, Funshine won’t be able to return to Care-a-Lot!
TOTAL RUNNING TIME for these DVD's is 160 minutes.

FIRST LEGO LEAGUE: The Unofficial guide: Book Review and Giveaway

Nathaniel loves building with LEGO sets, and I think it would be really great if he could be in a club of creative LEGO builders and be in competitions. He is very inventive and creative. I was very excited to review the book: "FIRST LEGO LEAGUE: the unofficial guide," because this guide has very helpful information on how to start, lead, and have a successful F.I.R.S.T LEGO League (FLL) robotics program. I think that Nathaniel would really get into building ROBOTS.

FIRST LEGO League (FLL) is an international program for kids ages 9 to 14 that combines a hands-on, interactive robotics program and research presentation with a sports-like atmosphere. It's a kind of geek Olympics for about 100,000 kids every year—a sporting event and science fair in one. There is so much to know and so many logistics with running a LEGO League, and this guide is a great tool to help you get started, and keep it going. This is not meant to be a simple competition, and fielding a team requires some serious management and plenty of work. FIRST LEGO League: The Unofficial Guide (No Starch Press, August 2008, 264 pp, ISBN 9781593271855) is the first book to offer FLL participants some guidance as they field their teams. Current and aspiring FLL participants, coaches, and teachers will find advice on how to become better competitors, builders, researchers, and team members, and they'll learn how to start and manage a team in a program that can be tricky to navigate, especially for newbies.

FIRST LEGO League: The Unofficial Guide offers in-depth coverage of topics that both rookie and experienced teams will find useful, like team formation and organization; robot building and programming; and the complex structure of the FLL competition, including the Robot Game, Technical Interview, Project, and Teamwork. Using a combination of real-life stories and candid commentary from actual FLL teams, as well as recollections of their own experiences, the authors offer an abundance of helpful guidance and dependable building and programming examples.
Readers learn how to:
*Organize, recruit, and manage a team
*Find equipment, mentors, and funding
*Design, build, and program winning robots
*Tackle each of the four FLL components—from Robot Game to Teamwork
*Use strategies and techniques from FLL masters to increase their scores

I have been tagged~

Pamela Kramer tagged me for this fun Twittering Meme Game! I get to share 6 things that no one knows about me. This may be hard, because I have friends that read my blog from way back. I will try.

1. My favorite character from the Peanuts was Lucy. I know she is a brat, but she was my favorite growing up.

2. Miss Hanigan was my favorite in the movie "Annie." I loved playing my Annie record on my Fisher-Price record player, and acting like I was her in the song 'Little Girls.'

3. When I was a pre-teen I was in love (or so I thought) with Karate Kid, and the boy from Black Stallion.

4. I collected Garbage Pail kids and New Kid's on the Block cards when I was younger. It is kind of fun to see the New Kid's making a come back, even though I am not sure if they will go all star.

5. My husband and I are getting away next month for a whole weekend. My husband loves model trains, and we are attending a train show in another state. It is a two-day show, so we will be staying in a hotel for two nights. I am SO looking forward to having OUR time for a whole weekend. Great timing before the baby comes, too!

6. My Grandfather is 100% Swedish, and my Grandma is 100% Finnish. My Grandpa came to the US from Sweden, and my Grandma came to the US from Finland. I love being Scandinavian! Ya' sure you bet'cha!

**If you read this, you are tagged. That is you official invitation. :) Let me know if you did it, so I can come read your fun facts about you!

Caleb's funny

Caleb is a really comical little guy. I try to blog his funny sayings as much as I can to remember them. Today, he said such a great thing...

I had just said honey to him, without realizing it, and he said,
"Mom, can you not call me honey?"

I said, "Why can't I call you honey?"

He said, "You call Dad honey."

I said, "Well, what can I call you~~my big sweetheart?"

He said, "You can call me Caleb *** ***." (He stated his whole name: first, middle, and last)

What a little darling!

Pictures to share

I am really enjoying the Fall colors, the beauty of God's creation, and the smells of Fall. It was a beautiful day outside! Tonight, we went for a pontoon ride, and (yes) I took pictures. Something is on our camera lens making a black dot, so sorry about that. I think we need to check into getting that cleaned up.



Caleb~ He was having a blast. He really likes to drive the boat around in circles. He floors the gas, and then brings it to a stop. He loves freaking us out. When we were stopped, and feeding the birds, he started the pontoon~ without warning. Dad didn't appreciate that too much, and Caleb realized he better not do that again.
Nathaniel loves wearing his face mask. It was a bit chilly when we left, but I am sure he was happy to have it on because after awhile, the temps were dropping. I am glad he isn't afraid to wear it, because it keeps him warm and toasty.

Madelyn would not smile for the camera tonight. She did have fun filling up the drink cups with leaves, though. She loves the boat rides.

We didn't get that great of pictures because we didn't get out on the boat until 6:15/6:30, and the sun goes down earlier and earlier these days. Maybe I will have to snap a few photos when I am out and about tomorrow. **Sorry about that black dot**
The Sea Gulls were crazy! Seriously, I felt like I was in the movie "The Birds" from Alfred Hitchcock. There were a gazillion birds out there! No joke!
We also fed them pieces of our left over pizza crust, and hot dog buns that were going a bit stale. They had a smorgasbord of food. The kids had a blast feeding the birds. Lena, our dog, seemed a bit confused as why we were feeding them and not her.

Nature Discovery In My Backyard: Book Review and Giveaway!

I really like books for kids that are educational! I was excited to get the Nature Discovery In My Backyard book for review from the Little Environmentalists. The pictures in the book are very realistic (look like photos) and they are big pictures. My kids loved looking at the nature pictures and we had some great talks about our environment and what is outside in our world. We even talked about what is in our yard, and other people's yards. It is a great book to make our children aware of the world around them. Nature Discovery In My Backyard (first book in series) retails for $6.95, and you can find it at the Little Environmentalists website or Amazon. The second book, I’m Turning Green, is anticipated this fall. The website also offers free downloads about nature.
