Back to school- the fun has begun!

Ah, back to school….
Which of course means back to school nights, picture days, parent teacher conferences, fund-raising,….all during the first month, lol.
I think it’s too much too fast.  I get a bit overwhelmed.  (And I’m a teacher!)  Maybe that’s why I get overwhelmed.  I get it on two fronts, haha.  What do you think?
Do you think it’s nuts?  Like, too many things, too fast?  My daughter only went back Sept 8, and we already have all those things listed above for Sept.  How about your kids?

This Place Is a Zoo! Review and GIVEAWAY!!!

I have such a fun company to introduce to you, bloggy buddies!
It is a really unique stuffed animal company, called “This Place is a Zoo!” ( I know, even the name is cute!)
So, as soon as I saw this great website, and the adorable and super detailed toys they offered AT A REALLY GREAT COST, I knew I had to tell you all about them.
As I was browsing This Place is a Zoo, I saw more and more cute and special toys. I mean, really! How many places offer stuffed armadillos?
(and realistic-looking!)

THAT IS A TOY!!! Can you believe it? And it’s less then 20$
Not into armadillos? Still want a unique toy?
How about cuddley “Speckles” the seal?

This 12″, super soft, adorable, kohair monk seal is only $12.50
Yes, you read that right. I just double checked to make sure.
OK, maybe you are more traditional. Maybe you want to see one more, just to see that they can do with bears?
Well, that’s too bad, because I couldn’t decide on just one bear to show you! LOL
LOOK at these Pandas!
Here is a panda family– price? Just $14.95 and up. (Special price for whole family together)

Oh my goodness, I have to have this guy! Look how adorable!

And only $12.50. His name is “Sitting Playful Panda“. Doesn’t that make you go Awwwwww!
Did I lie? Insane amounts of cute-ness, low, low price. What is not to love?

This Place is a Zoo was gracious enough to not only send us the ADORABLE “Baby Chimp Cuddlekin

to review, but also offered to do a giveaway for one of my lucky, lucky readers!
Little Man and Kamikaze went “ape” over this little guy.

Here is Little Man finding the “monkey booty”….

OOOO, happy Little Man! This Place is a Zoo could not have made a better choice- Little LOVES monkeys!
But, to the victor, goes the spoils…soon Little Man had to potty, and….

where did we find Kamikaze? Up in her bed, a half hour early. She [Read more…]

Baby Shower

Hello Bloggy Buddies!
Today I went to a baby shower with a friend of mine.  She did find out the sex of her baby.  I did, too.
I was wondering- did you?
If so, why or why not? 
I just couldn’t wait.  And also, I wanted to get the baby’s room ready.  
(I love getting to know you better!  Don’t feel like you have to answer if it’s too personal for you.  I don’t want to seem like I am prying, lol)

Monkey Monkey Music Review

So, “What Are The Odds” that you will like the same CD that your toddler will? Pretty good, I’d say, if that CD happens to be “Monkey Monkey Music” from Meredith LeVande.

OK, so, you all know I am a Pre-School teacher, right? (as well as momma to a 3 and 6 year old)
So, can I tell you how much kids music I hear? OK, like, A LOT. And I am sure most of you know that most kid’s music is super, super annoying. And has absolutely no value what-so-ever to the child.
However, Meredith LeVande (who was chosen as one of New York’s best affordable children’s performers by Time Out New York Kids) did a fantastic job at creating music that kids will love, and parents (and teachers!) will too. It is also educational music, which is fantastic. I really prefer that the kids listen to songs with a message, that they can learn from, rather then just noise pumping at them.

(On a personal note- I got to exchanging emails with Meredith, and she is a lovely, sweet, compassionate woman. She truly loves children, and her top priority is connecting with the child on his or her level. Because she loves children, she makes sure that her music is not only pleasing to the ear, but also developmentally appropriate for them. That was not part of the music review, per se. That was for you parents and teachers out there, so you know that she is the “real deal”, because I think you should know. The people who [Read more…]
