Great Back-To-School Clothing with @FrenchToastcom

July 29, 2012 by 16 Comments

Little Man is about to enter Kindergarten- which is both very exciting, and making me feel like a sad sack all at the same time, LOL. He will be attending a school that requires uniforms, which will make getting dressed in the morning all that much easier.

He looks like such a big boy! Everything he is wearing is from French Toast, the clothing and school uniform company. We did shop around, and I can say without a doubt that this is the fastest, easiest, and least expensive way to get his uniforms. I think it is also the best, and though this year his school is not registered with French Toast, I hope to encourage them to to so by next year. I was not thrilled having to go to a store 25 minutes away, stand in line, make my order, then wait 30 minutes more to have it filled just for a few things that needed to be embroidered. VERY annoying. French Toast does it all- plus faster, less costly, and delivers to my door with the same school uniform quality you would get in the pricey store. BLAH.

PLUS, they give participating schools 5% cash back on all orders. Why would any school that requires uniforms not [Read more…]

Sexy and You Know It? Check Yourself Out in Fresh Produce

July 29, 2012 by 6 Comments

Showing Off My Fake Simba Tattoo! LOL

Yeah man, you know you have to flaunt it if you’ve got it. (And you know you’ve got it, bow-chicka-wow-wow! LOL) Fresh Produce is a fun clothing company that I recently discovered- and adore. It was actually enjoyable to shop and choose my favorite styles and colors, and when it arrived, I was not disappointed. I love to shop, but can do it for myself only rarely. When I get a new item, and it doesn’t meet my desire or it’s description, it is so very upsetting. Then I need to deal with the hassle of returns or exchanges, and deciding if I want to bother with the company again. I am glad to say that I love the dress, and my shopping experience as well.

I’m the type of person who won’t often sacrifice comfort for fashion. Except maybe some fab shoes now and again, LOL. It can be hard to shop for dresses and tops because I have a large chest, even when I wear a minimizer. I found that this dress was PERFECT with a little half top (like a bra-cover-up) underneath it.

Springfloat from Swimways Review and Giveaway

July 27, 2012 by 38 Comments

It is way too hot, and has been for too long. Pretty much every part of the countryhas felt the heat this summer. Crops drying up in the mid west, streets melting in the south, people melting in the north east. Fires in the southwest. Its been a warm summer to say the least. The best way to beat the heat?

Water, and lots of it. Pools, oceans, lakes, ponds, puddles. Anything you can dip into and cool down with. 😛

This will only last so long, until its time to doze off. So why not get a pool toy to lounge in? Check out the Spring Float. These are the nifty floats made by SwimWays, they fold up small and bounce up to fully useable in no time. There is a small inflatable portion of the floats, but they are easy to fill. They also come in different sizes and types, from sun seats to canopies for the little ones. The Spingfloats are all great fun.

Little Man used one as a baby, and they have adult sizes and even one for doggies! Swimways recently launched a new website, specifically created to aid in the development of children’s swimming.

Mattel Toys- Batman Dark Knight Rises Review and Giveaway

July 26, 2012 by 53 Comments

Step inside and take a a look at something brand new and awesome.
As many of you know, there is a new Batman movie that just came out, July 20, 2012 to be exact. This movie is going to be the final of Christopher Nolan’s Batman. The movie looks great, the trailers are action packed and the cast is star studded. Christian Bale as Batman, Anna Hathaway as Cat Woman and Tom Hardy as Bane. That’s right Bane, as in back breaking Bane. This movie has so much potential it is mind boggling.

Bane is one of Batman’s most feared enemies, with the help of a drug which resembles a mix of steroids and human growth hormones, and a healthy dose of radiation- Bane is a formidable foe. Also, as an icing on the cake, Cat Woman is this movie as well. Cat Woman is always nice to see on the big screen. I know what some of you are saying- that is not Bane, and that is definitely not the Cat Woman we all know. But as with Joker in the previous film, Mr. Nolan changed some costumes [Read more…]

Playmobile Vet Clinic Review and Giveaway

July 26, 2012 by 61 Comments

I have always enjoyed Playmobile toys. Their creativity the ability to tack onto other play sets and include the spies in with the farm, who have sick pets and must go to vet clinic, of course. Wait- if you have no vet clinic, that means none of the tools or equipment needed to heal that chicken’s wing. Oh No! LOL

Take a look at the new Playmobile Pet Clinic Play set. This play set is packed to the brim with accessories, like the scalpel, injection needle, desks chairs computer, animal cages and of course and operating table. The set also includes a few pets to fix up, including guinea pigs, rabbits, and cats. Another awesome feature of this play set is is portability. All the accessories and critters all fit inside the vet clinic which seals up and has an easy carry handle. I love it when toys are their own clean up. Little Man really likes that too. He doesn’t like when something is [Read more…]

Nelly and Cesear Kids DVD Review and Giveaway

July 16, 2012 by 10 Comments

In nature, there are a lot of cute little creatures in all shapes and sizes. From little mice, who are cute as long as they are in a cage and not running around a kitchen or across Grandma’s foot (LOL) during Christmas dinner to a slippery frog hopping about the garden munching flies. A frog and a mouse are the stars of a new Kids Collection from Organa Kids called Nelly and Caesar. This collection comes to us from France in a neat mix of 2D and 3D animation. Some is CGI and some is hand drawn, at least that’s what it looks like to me. The effect is a whimsical look which is distinct and special. To the dads out there it looks a bit like a high quality RPG. You expect to grab a controller and start [Read more…]
