Fun and Adorable New Pajamas for the Family- Review and Contest

Autumn is here, and that means that winter is coming- can you feel it? The weather has begun to change, and it is cooling down 🙂 Soon, we will have to pack away our shorts and tank tops for almost a whole year, and bust out the fleece and flannel! I have to say, it’s been so hot this summer that I am fully ready.
One of the best parts of fall (in my opinion) is that with cooler nights, brings snuggling in bed or on the couch in your PJ’s, under your favorite blanket, with some hot chocolate and maybe a movie. And I just found THE CUTEST pajama store! It’s called CrazyForBargains.com and it is so easy-breezy to shop at. I love, love, love the options, how user-friendly it is- and the prices are oh-so right. Your budget will for sure not be broken here, and that is coming from a teacher! (Hey- I love my job, but my salary? Not so much! LOL)
One more thing that I think you moms of especially boys will love- Crazy for Bargains has a whole lot of options for your little man. (For girls too- but shopping for boys can be a chore, since so many places don’t give you choices.) So many stores are boring to shop at for boys, they have no choices, and limited sizes. Variety is not going to be a problem here, that has to be my favorite thing about Crazy For Bargains. The hardest part will be choosing what you want! From Thomas to Mario, they have it all when it comes to pajamas for boys.

| I dared to ask them to stay still so I could take a photo. Yep. Little strikes again, LOL |
 |
| He didn’t stay still anyway, LOL- Oh well- at least Kamikaze was helpful! Trying, haha |
Look at how cute my kids look in their new pajamas! These fun and inexpensive pajamas are adorable, and Kamikaze had to be yanked out of hers by force because the skirt of the nightdress was “super-spinny” (according to Kamikaze) and she was thinking she was a ballerina, LOL. But at some point, she did have to get dressed! 😛
They have PJ’s for the whole family– come on and take a look 🙂

Friday’s Entrees for One
September 20, 2011 by 2 Comments
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of T.G.I. FRiDAY’S for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
I know we all love going out to eat. Either as an escape from the everyday or simply as a night without standing in front of the stove cooking the same old thing again. TGI Frdays wants to bring this break from the ordinary home with their frozen entrees. Until recently these entrees were in servings of 2 or more, but they have a new size!
Friday’s has recently released a brand new line of their frozen meals which bring those great entrees like chicken and broccoli Alfredo, which is my personal favorite, and brought them into the single serving size , T.G.I. FRiDAY’S “Entrées for One” . In a family setting it can be difficult to make everyone happy all the time with meals. Sometimes dinner is late and we all know how big plans for dinner always crumble into breakfast for dinner, which is fun to do sometimes anyway. These Entrees for One are perfect for those odd nights when everyone wants something different for dinner or maybe it is getting late and you simply forgot to eat. These are great to get way for have some good, hot food quickly and easily.
To celebrate their new release TGI Friday’s is running a contest to ‘flair’ up your fridge/freezer. Decorate it and upload the picture to their Facebook page. And you are set to win all kinds of prizes. Take a look at their official Fun Freezer contest .

| Remember how pretty this area used to be??? That’s the hubs and Uncle M- demolition team extraordinaire. |
 |
| Yes- those spots are all mold. YUM. |
 |
| Yup, yup….more mold… |
 |
| Oooooo! Deep down mold! (After the Clorox hit it 4x) |
 |
| And the behind the wall mold…. |
 |
| Just the bottom part of the shower is still up…or down? The EW when we took that out is not fir to be online. |
 |
| Underside of another wall… |
 |
| And there is the “potty” and the sink- the shower and walls are the pile next to it. That was the cute, kids, “Hello Kitty” bathroom. And then? No and then. BLAH! |
TRY not to be jealous. I know, it’s hard 😛
Wordless Wednesday! My son thinks it’s Halloween….

JAKE AND THE NEVER LAND PIRATES- New Disney DVD and FUn Pre-K Party!
September 20, 2011 by 3 Comments
Yo Ho Ho!!!
Jake and the Never Land pirates is a new show on Disney Junior, the new portion of shows on Disney meant for the little ones. This particular show follows the adventures of Jake, Izzy and Cubby, parrot Skully and their boat, Bucky as they solve puzzles of the pirate variety and find hidden treasure. Before we start getting nervous about pirates being “bad guys” and teaching bad values, worry not, dear reader! These pirates are, as Little Man puts it,”Good Fun Guys”.
I also enjoy the Never Land Pirate Band performing, “Pirate Party”. There is something special about a group of grown men dressed as pirates prancing about and playing music about Never Land. Check out that and more here. LOL
We had a “Pirate Party” at the Pre-K today, and the kids had a blast! They dressed like pirates, watched the new DVD, “Jake and the Never Land Pirates: Yo Ho, Mateys Away!“ which comes out Sept 27, and had some pirate snacks while listening to the cute soundtrack.
The kids knew more about the show then I did, LOL, and were excited to see the DVD and dress up. We had a fun-filled morning, and I had a few extra minutes to spend with each kid do do a complicated project while the DVD was going- YAY PIRATES!!!! LOL- bonus for the grown ups!
DISNEY JUNIOR’S #1 SERIES “JAKE AND THE NEVER LAND PIRATES” RELEASES ITS FIRST MUSIC SOUNDTRACK & DVD
ALBUM SET FOR RELEASE SEPTEMBER 20
DVD SET FOR RELEASE SEPTEMBER 27
BURBANK, CA, July 28, 2011 – A new soundtrack and DVD inspired by Disney Junior’s #1 series Jake and the Never Land Pirates, are planned to set sail this September with Walt Disney Records’ album release of eighteen hook-filled songs from the series on September 20 and The Walt Disney Studios “Jake and the Never Land Pirates: Yo Ho, Mateys Away!” DVD release featuring seven episodes from the series on September 27.
Jake and the Never Land Pirates is cable’s #1 series among Boys 2-5 and is on track to be Disney Channel’s #1 preschool series ever. It is the most co-viewed series among all Disney Junior and Nickelodeon series, with 47% of Moms watching with their preschooler. A music-filled interactive treasure hunt, the series introduces a crew of kid pirates – leader Jake and pals Izzy and Cubby – and follows their Never Land adventures as they work to outwit two infamous characters, the one and only Captain Hook and Smee, from Disney’s classic “Peter Pan.” Every episode features the animated Sharky and Bones characters as they pop up throughout to perform original pirate ditties, and each episode concludes with a live action music video featuring The Never Land Pirate Band.
About the Album Release:Written and performed by Loren Hoskins and Kevin Hendrickson, a.k.a. Sharky and Bones of The Never Land Pirate Band, the album features 18 swashbuckling tracks sure to thrill any young pirate. Also included are downloadable activities and games to plan the perfect pirate party, a Sing-Along version of the show’s theme song and a bonus track from a future episode. The deluxe edition includes a pirate bandana. The album arrives at stores and online retailers September 20.
The album features a variety of songs that kids and parents can enjoy together. Songs include the kooky, comical “Hot Lava,” “Aw Coconuts,” “Pirate Password,” and the arrrghhh-rated “Talk Like a Pirate.” Some songs refer to popular characters in the show, such as “What’s Cookin’ Smee,” “Captain Hook (Is A Cranky Crook),” “Tick Tock Croc” and “Bucky’s Shanty.” Others capture the island spirit of Never Land, such as “Castaway on Pirate Island,” “Shipwreck Shuffle” and “Never Sky,” as well as the “Jake and the Never Land Pirates” theme song. All songs can be heard in episodes of the show.
Portland, Oregon-based Hoskins and Hendrickson have been creating pirate rock music for kids of all ages for more than a decade. The duo produced four previous children’s albums and even led their own pirate band. The pirate rockers also provide the musical score for “Jake and the Never Land Pirates.”
The Jake and the Never Land Pirates soundtrack will be available wherever music is sold on September 20. For more information on Walt Disney Records’ releases, please visit www.Disney.com/music <http://www.Disney.com/music> , become a fan at www.Facebook.com/disneymusic <http://www.Facebook.com/
About the DVD Release:On September 27, The Walt Disney Studios will be releasing Jake and the Never Land Pirates: Yo Ho, Mateys Away!, a DVD packed full with seven episodes from the series and two incredible bonus features including Yo Ho, You Want To Be A Pirate?, where Jake teaches viewers how to talk like a pirate, and Pirate Party With Pirate-oke, a collection of music videos performed by The Never Land Pirate Band that allow viewers to enjoy with or without the sing-along/karaoke-like feature.
Retailing for the suggested price of $19.99 in the U.S. and $24.99 in Canada, the Jake and the Never Land Pirates: Yo Ho, Mateys Away! DVD also comes packaged with a bonus 7-track CD sampler and a pirate eye patch.
