Slimy Bookwork- a great website for your kids!

I have the perfect place for you to shop today- and Monday, for that matter! (As it is Small Business Saturday and Monday is Cyber Monday- EXTRA convenient!!!) It’s a great children’s book site called Slimy Bookworm! (Don’t you love the name? LOL)
Slimy Bookworm is dedicated to helping kids love books and instilling the love of reading! (Yay for that!)
It is THE destination for books kids love!
A bit about Slimy Bookworm;

“We are your premiere online children’s bookstore and pride ourselves in being “The destination for books kids love!”
It started with a book-loving mom who had a son with an equally insatiable appetite for books! Knowing that the effort put into exploring and acquiring wholesome books for her son could come handy for that parent, grandparent [Read more…]

Go! Go! Sports Doll- the video!

Go! Go! Sports Doll, a fabulous doll option for your child, has a great video for you to see.
This doll, a positive image for your daughter instead of the media induced “be thin!”  “be pretty!”  “be perfect!”  (where is be happy, or be smart, or be confident?)  is a top pick from me- and I hope you love the video as much as I love the doll!

By the way- it just won 3 awards – Dr. Toys 10 Best Socially Responsible Products, PAL Award for promoting language development, and Nickelodeon’s Top Toys 2010.  Tall order for a doll!  Must be something!  Check it out! 

Myclyns Review

 

Hello all,
Today I will be reviewing an interesting new product called Myclyns. Myclyns is a first aid spray that can be used on your face. This means when your little one hurts themselves on their face, maybe playing football, maybe just running around the house making believe they are Iron Man. You can spray Myclyns on their face and there won’t be any screaming or crying about burning or stinging. The other great property of Myclyns is in the germ arena. It is quickly becoming flu season and with that sneezing and coughing. Sometimes kids cover their mouths, sometimes they don’t. These little gifts given to everyone sometimes right on you or your little ones’ faces. Yuck. I want to go wash my hands just thinking about it. When something like this happens myclyns comes in handy. A little spray and off the germs go. Dead as door [Read more…]

Holiday Gift Guide- Pocoyo Review!

I love Pocoyo! I am sure you all remember my recent post about the Pocoyo Website, as well as the hand-made by Grammie Pocoyo Hat that Little Sported!
(And if you don’t, then sign up for my emails! LOL, Don’t miss super-cute stuff!!!)
Well, now there is a FABULOUS line of Pocoyo toys! Yep, it’s true! Bandai.com has just launched a line of Pocoyo merchandise which is also available at Toys R Us (easy breezy!) and will make your Pre-K sweetie sing with happiness! (And since that is a part of Pocoyo the TV series, to help children appreciate music and creatively express themselves- point made!)
My Little is a Fan, can you tell?
I am a bit strict with the TV, I don’t let my kids watch shows that I consider without value (either educational or social value, I don’t want them watching yuck).
I love Pocoyo, who teaches [Read more…]

Dishwasher and Laundry Safe Labels for Kids and Baby!


Hello everyone in Bloggy Land! It is review time! Today we are reviewing the labels by Applied Labels. These labels are good for many different uses including baby bottles. You can include the date on the bottle to keep bottle from getting mixed up and old milk being used for your little cuddles. They can also be used on a variety of cloth, some are even laundry safe for extended use. Both varieties are removable and can be put on any tag.

Another great feature of Applied Labels is they take special care of their clients who are in the daycare business. Realizing they are going to need labels quickly and in mass quantity. So they have a whole portion of their website dedicated to these brave individuals. There is also a special section for businesses to get personalized attention from their staff.

These labels went through the dishwasher and laundry and did an incredibly good job. I had even taken a label off of an item then reapplied the label.  The item then went through the dishwasher and held its ground. Great adhesive!!

Personalized Kids Labels

 Today I am reviewing a great product called Oliver’s labels. They have all kinds of colorful and cute designs and patterns, everything from sea life, to outer space, to London carnations.  Different!  And a mommy can never have too many labels- kids loose everything! 

Also, these labels come in an assortment of shapes and sizes. Including original size, 50mm x 20mm, 2″ x 3/4″, these are great for sippy cups, toys, lunch boxes, etc. The next size they have is mini, 50mm x 7mm, 2″ x 1/4″ which fit great on pencils, pens, scissors. These are perfect for the little ones who continually argue over whose safety scissors are whose. They also have shoe labels, 50mm x 26mm, 2″ x 1″. These are slightly bigger then the originals and come in pairs to fit the inside bottom of little shoes better. If you have little boys who like to throw their stuff in a big pile when friends are over, these work great. Next up are their newest products- Photo labels! No, these aren’t labels that go on photos, but actual labels with photos on them.  (hehe)  They are 50mm x 50mm, 2″ x 2″. You pick the picture and the design and they make super tough photo stickers for you. They can go anywhere from the microwave to the playground.

Overall these labels are of good quality and stand up to the test of little ones quite well. Even the husband couldn’t destroy them.  Now that says something!
