Win Lovable Labels!

You can never be too careful with a child who has allergies.  That’s why these Allergy Alert labels from Lovable Labels are so great!  They allow you to clearly mark your child’s items so that the teacher, lunch lady- whoever, knows about your sweetie’s allergy.  May is Food Allergy Awareness Month, so this is a great way to end the month- with a way to keep your little one’s safe!  One of my kids has an allergy to both dairy and soy- these labels should help remind the staff of what NOT to give her.  In our Pre-K, we have a few kids with allergies, one of whom is allergic to nuts and eggs.  The nuts are a bigger issue- and she was given a cookie by a well-meaning mom at a school party and the child had a very bad reaction.  Sadly, the class mom didn’t realize THIS was the child we were telling her can’t have that food.  Labels help.
Everyone was OK, don’t worry.
Lovable Labels  as a wide variety of labels to choose from, all personalized with your child’s name and needs on them.
By the way- Lovable Labels is Mom Made and created!  Check out their creation story-
It is said that necessity is the mother of invention and this proved all too true for Laura Porreca, Owner and President of Lovable Labels. 

When Laura’s first child entered daycare, she was told to label all his belongings.  This meant labeling everything from his outdoor clothing, to his indoor shoes, lunches, sippy cups and backpack.  Laura recognized a need in the market for personalized labels that were tough and durable and could stand the test of time and the everyday use that children put them through.

After researching and testing many different products and designs, Laura created a line of labels that include Regular and Slimline Stickers, Shoe Labels, Iron-ons and Bag Tags.  They are not only bright, fun and colourful but also met the high standards that parents have come to expect.  The Regular and Slimline labels are microwave and dishwasher safe, the Iron-on labels stay put in the washer and dryer, the Shoe Labels have an extra strength adhesive to ensure they won’t come off and the Bag Tags are made of a durable and flexible plastic.

Mega Bloks, Gotta LoveThomas!

Enter the world of Thomas and Friends with this great buildable playset from Mega Bloks!

How much  do you love Thomas?  Such a classic!  Little Man LOVES him some Thomas  🙂  
My Little Man loves both Thomas and Mega Bloks, so this is a big hit! 
He went wild for it- and not a day has gone by that he has not played with it since he has gotten it.  We brought this Busy Day at the Quarry playset to the Pre-K, and you know the kids fought for playtime with it.  They loved the action- the trains moved effortlessly on the tracks, the setup was not too hard (you do need grown-up or big kid help, though) and the working crane?  Fab!  They all LOVED it.   

setting up!



 “Help Thomas and his friend Mavis transport rocks from the quarry to the dock. Use real-working crane! Build and rebuild the quarry to make each day a different busy day at the quarry!

Ideal for Children ages 3 and up.

Features:

  • Includes Thomas and Mavis, crane, coal, coal chute, building blocks and ramps.
  • Use the storage bucket to climb and race Thomas and Mavis down the ramps.
  • Real-working crane!
  • Builds up to 4 feet long!
  • Build and rebuild for hours of endless play!
  • Combine with Thomas at Sodor Fair (10515) or other Thomas playsets to further build your Mega Bloks Thomas universe.”

My Little Man just adores it.  We will be bringing it to see Thomas at Day Out with Thomas in Strasburg, PA in June- so you will be seeing more photos of this adorable playset!   This would make a great birthday gift for any train or Thomas fan, as well.
I love that it will match up and connect with out other Thomas Mega Bloks toys, and we have a few, with him being such a fan.  It’s really fun that we got Mavis- she is not one of the trains that comes in all the playsets, so it is nice to get a different one once in a while, right?  Love that.  I like that you use all the parts, even the bucket that it comes in, as part of the play set- then when you are done- easy breezy cleanup, and you know where all the part are- right in the carry bucket!  I love, love that aspect- it makes it great for travel and taking along.
You can buy this playset for just $29.99!  You can also follow Mega Brands on Facebook and Twitter– you don’t want to miss out on cool stuff  😉

The Royal Wedding – William & Catherine (available on DVD)

Can you ever get enough?  for me- I know I can’t! 
As a history buff, I just can’t get enough Will and Kate, and I am so thrilled to see that the BBC has produced and made available this fabulous DVD, The Royal Wedding – William & Catherine, available as of 5/24.   I was so, so excited to see it, and I totally DVRed the whole thing, from start to finish, since I was going to be working that day.  But what what a fabulous memento, a keepsake forever for the wedding of the century!
I was so excited to see it, and I have to say that when I finally did, I did cry, they looked so happy.  I hate when I do things like that, LOL.  (BAH, acting like such a hot mess!)
Did you see that they went into the back of the cathedral, to sign their names into the marriage log book?  Where all the other kings and queens had signed their names?  AHHHH, can you imagine?!!  That’s wild- I just want to see it!  Forever- your name in history. 
There is also a great pre-wedding glimpse into their lives, into their engagement and dating, which we as Americans may not know much about.  It lets us get to know a bit about Kate who becomes Catherine, and reminds us of Prince William’s life. (Kate and I have the same birthday- fun fact- same date, exactly, lol.
Of course, I don’t wear a size 2 or marry a crowned price, but hey- I will take what I can get, haha.)

“Join HRH Prince William and Catherine Middleton at Westminster Abbey as they celebrate the momentous occasion of their marriage. Relive and treasure their special day with this souvenir DVD, containing two hours of coverage from the BBC.
This wonderful keepsake will capture all the pomp and pageantry of the historic occasion like no other memento. The DVD will include the complete ceremony plus highlights from the official BBC pre- and post-wedding coverage, and the bonus program, “William and Kate: A Royal Engagement,” presenting the story of William and Kate’s relationship via interviews with colleagues, friends and family. Lovers of the crown will want to own this special, commemorative DVD of this most delightful of events, the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton.”
You can buy this fab DVD for the  AMAZING price of $7.98.  WHAT?  Really- that’s a total bargain.  Check it out, this is a fabulous buy that you will treasure for years to come.  Forever! 
Happy History!  🙂
