Proflowers Contest (Just in time for Mother’s Day!)

May 1, 2011 by 441 Comments

Mothers Day is a week away!  Flowers are one of the “go to” gifts we think of when it comes time to give our mom’s a gift.  This is where Proflowers comes in.  Proflowers is best known for their wonderful bouquets.  But they also have great Mothers Day Potted Plants including gorgeous orchids and even bonsai‘s.  I recently received a wonderfully gorgeous Potted Lavender Azalea.  It was shipped packed very tightly yet gently enough to ensure the plant was cozy and safe but not squished and DOA.  Right now she is thriving on my kitchen table, waiting for the weather to be perfect for a bring the little one to her new home in the yard.

Proflowers does not only have plants and cut flowers but also have sweets, chocolates, brownies, cookies, gifts, teddy bears, bath/spa sets, and even fruit baskets for those of us who would like to stick to our diets. 😉

All these gifts look great, especially the Mrs. Fields cookies. 
 I really like the floral tips section of Proflowers site.  Not only are you getting flowers and plants, but you are giving your loved ones a bright sunshine sunshine into their day.  With the tips from porflowers you ccan keep that sunshine going for longer.  There is also a touch of history and fun.  What does a yellow rose mean?  How about a white rose?  Very fun.  Not to mention the great coupons page– who doesn’t love a bargain?  You can save Save 20%, Free vase, Free weekday delivery and other deals!
This is also a great way to surprise your mom at the office if she works- she will make all the other ladies green with envy, and what a thoughtful child she has to surprise her like that!  (We all like to feel special, don’t we?)
And if your mom is not close (distance wise), you can rest assured that your gift will arrive on time, and looking fabulous. 
I love my new azalea and hope you all get your loved ones a gift they will enjoy just as much.  Proflowers can help, take a look around.
One of you will win a  $50 gift code to Proflowers.  Want to win?  Here is how to enter!

My Little Pony Contest!

April 27, 2011 by 334 Comments

You asked for it, you got it!  And boy, are you getting it….Oh, wait- I forgot to tell you what we are talking about!  Girls toys, girls toys!  You wanted more Girl Stuff on here!  That’s tough for me, because Kamikaze doesn’t always love to participate, and Little is- well, he’s a boy!  But we figured it out.  Little would test the toys, but we would also bring them to the Pre-K, and let the girls bring them home for a day at a time to see what they thought, as well.  The girls have fun playing with new toys, and we get girl reactions!  Haha.  Look at that, I’m a genius!  (I don’t have 3 degrees for nothing!  LOL)
OK, we are starting with a personal favorite from my own childhood- My Little Pony!  They sure have changed since I was a kid.  They also still have a show to go along with the toys (you can watch it on the Hub Channel- check for local listings).  These are NOT my– My Little Ponies, for sure!  Can you tell I was a fan?!  LOL…

Ok, back to THIS toy!  It is called My Little Pony Twilight Sparkle’s Twinkling Balloon Playset.  Little Man had fun playing with it, and so did the girls in the Pre-K.  It can be a challenge to get photos without showing faces- so bear with me!  🙂  The kids loved it- they loved the magic balloon, and that it lit up and played music.  The door falls off a lot- so be prepared to pop it back on often.  Or glue it shut, like I did.  Spike the Dragon came with the set, and he is just so cute.  Spike and Twilight Sparkle can look through the telescope and see all the wonders that can be seen in Ponyland. 
(Or maybe your house!  Haha.)

The kids all loved it!  Here is Little with some buddies at the Pre-K. 

You can buy this fun toy HERE.
You can also win this fun toy to add to your My Little Pony collection!

miYim- soft and snuggley toys Review and Contest

April 24, 2011 by 212 Comments

I just found out about this really adorable company with a fun name- miYim!  Have you heard of them?  Let me introduce you!

miYim is a sweet, cute, organic plush cotton line of children’s toys.  (PS- they also have an organic dog toy line!)  As you know, “going ggreen” is not only great for the planet and the future (and our children!) but also for our bodies.   Did you know 1/3 of the world’s pesticides are used for cotton fields?  I didn’t!  These harmful toxins get into everything- the ground, water, animals, plants- and us.  By eliminating the use of any of these harmful chemicals, miYim produces a safer product for your child, and a better product for our planet.  I LOVE COMPANIES THAT CARE!!!!

A little more about this fun and Earth Friendly company-
“miYim aims to enrich the lives of today’s families by fostering the imaginations of children and celebrating the lifestyle of the eco-conscious home. miYim is more than just playthings – we aim to teach values and environmental responsibility, all while touching the hearts of children through imagination and whimsy. Starting with organic food, the organic movement has grown from its small beginnings into a large movement fuelled by people’s desire to lead a healthier lifestyle. At miYim we are taking this idea and applying it to our most precious resource of all, our children.”

We were sent an adorable plush lion to review.  
This cute little lion from the Jane Goodall collection at miYim found it’s way into Little Man’s bed, and into his “wild animals” themed room.   This particular collection caught my eye for two obvious reasons- One, that it consisted of wild animals.  Little Man loves animals, that child may grow up to be a vet or something of that nature.  He loves “wild animals”, “sea creatures”, and “puppies” above all other things. 

There they are, getting ready for bed!  (And how many other photos have you seen that cutie-patootie little Lion pop up in, right?  You’ve seen that face before!  LOL.  He’s been a bedtime pal since he got here!)
The quality (and cuteness!) of this organic toy is fantastic, and I already have my eye on one of the little guys from the Petites Collection for his birthday coming up.   (Can you tell that when we like stuff, we really do tend to buy from them?  That is why you see updates from me on the blog, Twitter, and Facebook.  I like you to know that I MEAN IT when I say that we liked something enough to buy it as a gift, or for my kids.)

Lion is not only adorable and well made, but by making a purchase from the Jane Goodall Collection, you are also supporting Dr. Goodall’s important work!


“People, animals and the environment are all connected. The Wild Animal Collection was created with this core value in mind. The thoughtful and realistic looking animals are colored with miYim’s PureWaterWashTM process using only plants and minerals, making these toys a safe alternative to toys made with environmentally damaging processes.
Part of the proceeds from each purchase will go towards the Jane Goodall Institute to help support the continuation of Dr. Goodall’s scientific work and her humanitarian vision.”
Truly a company that cares, with morals and that gives back, to boot!  
When you couple that with a fabulous bunch of toys that are priced right (the Jane Goodall Collection are priced at $24.99, and these are well made, sturdy toys, well worth it!)  and not overpriced- how can you go wrong?
Would you like to win a Lion of your own?  Yeah you would!  LOL
Then you can start your own collection!
Here is how to enter!

Little Green Books- review and contest

April 22, 2011 by 143 Comments

 I really like the idea behind Little Green Books.  They explain the importance of caring for the earth and it’s inhabitants to kids in a fun and friendly way.  AND these adorable books are manufactured green- printed with soy in on recycled materials.
We used them all during Earth Week at the Pre-K, and will use them randomly throughout the year.  Earth Day is every day, after all!

We reviewed
This is Our World
The Polar Bears Home
Easy to be Green
I Can Save The Ocean! 

I also really liked the Easy To Be Green activity book- my Preschool class got a lot of fun out of it!  The book gives ideas of ways kids can help the Earth, fun facts, coloring pages, etc.  They had a lot of fun with it. 

Here is some more info about Little Green Books!

This new series of books will get little ones excited about going green. From recycling and replanting to creating an awareness of endangered animals and much more, Little Green Books plant the seeds for earth-friendly living at an early age. Each book in this environmentally friendly line is made from recycled materials – proving our commitment to this worthy cause.

Little Green Books is a new eco-friendly series from Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing Division. As our mission statement above explains, each book in this series will be devoted to educating children about the benefits of being green.

Little Green Books will cover a variety of subjects, teaching children about the dangers of global warming, the benefits of recycling, what they can do to help endangered animals, and much more. In I Can Save The Earth!, children can follow Max the Little Green Monster on his journey as he goes from being a litterbug to loving the earth. And in The Polar Bears’ Home, children can learn about the polar bears’ habitat and how it has become a victim of global warming. On a lighter note, The Adventures of a Plastic Bottle details the journey of a plastic bottle, from a blob of crude oil to a plastic bottle to a fleece sweatshirt! Told in diary form, this humorous tale is sure to give readers a laugh while stressing the significance of the recycling process.

What sets our books apart from other “green” books is that in addition to the themes, the manufacturing of these books is also environmentally friendly. Our books are printed on recycled materials with vegetable or soy inks. This initiative will continue as the series progresses, from storybooks to cloth books to novelty board books. A unique, innovative new series, Little Green Books plant the seeds of eco-friendly consciousness at an early age so that we can grow a generation of earth-friendly readers.

Nice, right?  I know that was a large blurb- but I liked it, so….so I put it there, LOL.
They also have this great Parent and Teacher page that helps you share Earth Friendly information and topics with children.  They also have fun activities, pages, postcards, etc that you can download for free to do with the kids in your life.  I used them quite a bit this week!

5 of you lucky ducks will win the exact same set of books that I reviewed here.
Love it?  Love it.
Ok, so….

Green Toys- an Earth Day Contest

April 22, 2011 by 214 Comments

 
I had the great opportunity to visit Green Toys at the NY Toy Fair a few months ago.  So when I was contacted to do a giveaway of one of their fun toys for Earth Day- I was really excited! 
I like toys (and companies!) on a mission! 
So, what does Green Toys believe?
“We believe the world would be a much better place if everyone said “please” and “thank you”, cell phones didn’t ring during movies, and all toys were fun, safe, and made from environmentally friendly materials. Since it’s probably no use holding our breath for those first two, we’re concentrating on the toys.
Green Toys Inc. makes an awesome line of classic children’s toys constructed from recycled plastic and other environmentally friendly materials. This helps reduce fossil fuel use and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improving the overall health and happiness of the planet.”

LOVE IT!
While I didn’t see this particular toy at Toy Fair, I did see lots of others, and they were both fun and safe.  I love the bright colors, the sturdy-ness, and the knowledge that even if your kid plays tough, these toys will play back!  What I like best is knowing they are safe for my kids and that they are made with good decisions for the planet.   GO MORALS!  These classic toys made tough for today’s kids, are also made to last.  Since you can hand it down, you won’ t need to keep buying more, more, more!  Yay for less consumption.  So, I’d say Green Toys covers the 3 Earth Day “R’s” 

Reduce- toxins, emissions, fossil fuel use
Reuse- you can hand it down
Recycle- made from recycled plastic and other environmentally friendly materials.   

One of you will win this great Flatbed & Race Car, pictured above.

MSRP $30
ages 1+
Gentlemen (and ladies) start your environmentally responsible engines! The Green Toys™ Flatbed Truck with Race Car is on the move. This sturdy blue truck hauls our sleek red hot rod on its back, and has a flatbed that tilts up to allow the car to roll off. These eco-conscious vehicles are made in the USA from 100% recycled plastic milk containers that save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. No BPA, PVC, phthalates, or external coatings. 
For ages 1 and up 
Here is how to enter!

Kidorable Contest

April 21, 2011 by 178 Comments

April showers, bring may flowers!  We all know that, right?  And April sure has come in with a bang!  We love Kidorable.  Little Man loves his new Space-Hero raincoat.  It matches his fun space-hero rainboots (also Kidorable!)  Just in the nick of time, too- because the day after it came, it started to rain.  For 3 days.  So- you can say that we had the chance to test it out!  He loves it.  It feels like dress-up or costumes/role play to him, because all of the raincoats (and rain-gear in general) are themed, so the kids get to pick what they love, and go with it!  Little picked space creatures- he will not admit that it is a space man, haha.  It keeps him super dry, and I love that the hood looks like a little helmet.  How fun!

We also have the Giraffe book ends.  It goes with his new Jungle/Wild animal themed room, and since we have 5 million books- its great to have such a cute place to put them!  It has a cute spot to place a photo.  It’s a small spot- so make sure you get a little picture  🙂 

Do you love his little Space-Hero self?  I know I do, but I’m a bit partial  🙂   Every kid needs rain-gear.  You don’t want your munchkin getting cold and wet! 
And they have umbrellas to match all their adorable rain-outfits!  Want to win one for your kiddos?

Hershey’s Track and Field Contest!

April 21, 2011 by 112 Comments
Hershey’s, while mostly known for it’s delicious chocolate and candies, has another project that they would like you to know about.  Hershey’s Track and Field Games!  Really- from Hershey’s.  I know, I know.  Odd combo.  But, since chocolate is not exactly low fat- I guess Hershey wanted you to know that exercise is also important for you!  I have to tell you- LOVE the water bottle.  It holds a LOT of water, which is great for on-the-go. 


Physical activity is important at any age, but by encouraging your children to be active, you can help them gain an appreciation for a healthy lifestyle at a young age.

Since 1978, The HERSHEY®’S Track & Field Games has helped more than 10 million children get active and learn valuable lessons such as sportsmanship and hard work. Now in its 34th year, HERSHEY’S Track & Field Games hosts thousands of boys and girls, ages 9 to 14, in nearly 4,000 North American communities. They will compete this spring and summer in track and field events ranging from the standing long jump and softball throw to a variety of running and relay races – and all at no cost of entry. All you need is a pair of shoes.

To program culminates each year with the HERSHEY’S Track & Field Games North American Final Meet in Hershey, Pa. Held each year in August, the North American Final Meet hosts 450 outstanding young participants in a fun and exciting, all-expenses paid weekend trip to Hershey. During the weekend, participants tour the world’s largest chocolate factory and visit Hersheypark amusement park, among other exciting activities.

Nine-time Olympic gold medalist Carl Lewis and Olympic decathlon legend Rafer Johnson will again return as HERSHEY’s Track & Field Games ambassadors in 2011.

To further encourage physical activity among kids and families, Hershey is teaming up with the Nike Reuse-A-Shoe program to collect old, worn-out athletic shoes to be recycled into Nike Grind, a material used in creating athletic and playground surfaces, as well as select Nike products. Program participants will be invited to bring used athletic shoes to state and provincial meets, which will then be recycled into Nike Grind. A HERSHEY’s Track & Field Games playground will be awarded to a participating local community as part of the program’s work with Nike’s Reuse-A-Shoe program. Since its inception in the early 1990’s, Nike’s Reuse-A-Shoe program has recycled more than 25 million pairs of athletic shoes into Nike Grind.

So lace up your children’s favorite pair of sneakers and get ready to cheer them on at the finish line! To learn more about HERSHEY’S Track & Field Games, and to find a local event in your area, please visit www.hersheystrackandfield.com.
 

One of you can win a HERSHEY’S Track & Field Games prize pack, which includes a drawstring backpack, visor, water bottle and rubber band shoelace stoppers.

“Nothing beats the excitement of playing live rock n roll with the help of thousands of great fans,”

says Rich Collins (aka Mover Rich). “We encourage our audience to be an essential part of the show

by singing, clapping, shouting, dancing, and generally letting the energy of a real rock concert lift

their spirits. Everybody needs a nap after one of our gigs, including the grownups – and especially

us!”

Since signing to Walt Disney Records, the IMAGINATION MOVERS sold more than 100,000

albums, received multiple awards and earned critical praise from the Associated Press,

Entertainment Weekly and many other media outlets. Their newest release,

In a Big Warehouse, the soundtrack for the second season of the television series, hit the charts

this fall, debuting at #2 on Billboard’s Top New Artist Albums chart, and bowing at #3 on Billboard’s

Children’s Chart.

In addition, the MOVERS have recently shared their story and music with viewers across the nation

appearing on The View , Live with Regis & Kelly and Good Morning America. Their unique brand of

smart, high-energy pop was described in the New York Times as “prized by many parents for non-

condescending lyrics and music that evokes the Beastie Boys or Red Hot Chili Peppers.”

The Imagination Movers television series, which features the blue-suited band as brainstormers

working hard to solve “Idea Emergencies” in their Idea Warehouse, is a hit with audiences around

the world, airing in over 55 countries/territories and in 12 languages since September 2008. The

Movers are currently filming the third season of the series and recently filmed a concert in their

hometown of New Orleans with some very special guests. Season three of the series and the
-more-
concert special will air in 2011. Imagination Movers airs daily during Disney Channel’s Playhouse

Disney programming block for preschoolers (to be rebranded Disney Junior in early 2011).

The IMAGINATION MOVERS are Collins, a former journalist and father of five; Scott Durbin, a

teacher and father of two; Dave Poche, an architect and father of two; and Scott “Smitty” Smith, a

New Orleans firefighter who was part of the Hurricane Katrina search and rescue effort.
