Win Play Doh Flip and Serve set!

July 11, 2011 by 277 Comments
Alright, who wants Play-Doh!  I mean breakfast!  LOL
Kidding! Don’t eat it, it’s Play-Doh.  But boy do those waffles look good….mmm, Little sure can cook a mean breakfast, right?  I know, you are jealous.  Try not to be, I know, it will be hard.   😛
So here we are making breakfast for the crew on a Saturday morning and the kids want to help.  But we are making eggs, bacon, and pancakes.  You definitely don’t want the little ones grabbing the griddle do you?  The new flip n serve breakfast play set by Play-Doh is just the thing.  The kids can make pancakes, waffles, eggs, fruit even some strawberry sauce for you waffles.  Looks good enough to eat, but definitely not tasty in the slightest.  At least that’s what my husband says…
I really like how this play set is almost completely self contained. For the most part it is all connected, so there are fewer big pieces to lose or break.  There are accessories like the  forks, spoons and cups but all the big stuff is connected in one big ‘griddle’.  No heat here, just a little pushing and squishing.  With this playset, your little ones can help make the perfect accompaniment to breakfast without the ouchies.

So- you are in Lancaster- what’s a good spot to stay in?

July 10, 2011 by 13 Comments

Yep!  That IS a giant, stuffed bacon on his head…and a Zoobie, and a Yogi Bear.  What, you don’t travel like that???

Last night we stayed at the Best Western Village Inn in Intercourse, PA.  (I know, funny name- especially for such a very religious area!)  As soon as we got there, the first thing I noticed (besides the well-kept property and friendly service) was how clean the room smelled.  As soon as we opened the door, we were hit with the smell of “clean”.  The room- while on the smaller side, it had everything you needed for the night.  Clean beds, bathroom, towels, they had a large TV and a mini ‘fridge as well.  One of the best aspects of the Best Western was the location- it was  right in the middle of so much- lots that you didn’t even need a car to get to, in fact.  Kitchen Kettle Village, home to many shops, restaurants, and the famous ” Yummy”, is about 2 blocks away.  The Lancaster, PA area has some fabulous shopping- from Amish-made treasures, to quite a few outlets- whatever your heart may desire.  And the food will not leave you wanting!  If you can’t find something you like- forget that- something you LOVE- you need to get your taste buds checked.  You can have fantastic PA Dutch Smorgasbords (Family-style dining experiences), the BBQ can’t be beat- and farm fresh produce is found at nearly every corner!  The Herrs factory is local, as is a pretzel factory, several places to see and buy fresh “canned” veggies, and- lets not forget the desserts!  Shoo-fly pie, apple pie- and let’s not forget the famous “Whoopie pies”, which are really tiny cake sandwiches with frosting in between- my son’s favorites!  Home made ice cream, lemonade, and pretzels are local favorites as well. (DO NOT miss these!)

The restaurants all close by 8- something this city girl didn’t know!  So that is a consideration to be aware of.  But it is no big deal- just know it ahead of time.  This area could not be more family friendly.  There are many historical, hands on, and active events and attractions for you and your family to enjoy.  Working farms, buggy rides, adventure farms, petting zoos, museums, puppets shows, live theater- you name it!

Did I mention how safe it feels here?  Or how friendly?  People wave and say hello. If someone bumps you- they say “excuse me”.  It is a great place to be, and a fantastic place to visit.  Don’t forget all our other adventures are in the area- Day out with Thomas, The Strasburg Railroad, Choo Choo Barn, Hayloft Candles and Petting Zoo- they are all just a little drive from the Best Western.  I love Lancaster.   I love being here with my kids, and I am here all the time- if you have not been here, get planning!  If you have, then when is your next visit?  Yummie’s birthday is coming up- you know you want to come on over for that!!!  If you are looking for a place to stay in the area, I am definitely recommending the Best Western Village, in Intercourse.  Fast, friendly, local to so many attractions, a restaurant on site (open from 6 am until 8 pm)- and even FREE wifi and continental breakfast!  What more can you want in a hotel?  Happy Trails to you, and I hope to see you soon in Lancaster– there is so much more then meets the eye!  Take your time, relax, enjoy all the local delicacies, and have fun!
~Samantha

Disclosure- I received a complimentary night at this hotel for the purpose of this review.  This is my honest review, all opinions are my own.

Win Star Wars toy!

July 9, 2011 by 263 Comments

Clone Wars is the best thing to happen to the prequel universe of Star Wars, since well…. since the hype started for Episode One, really. It’s got adventure, excitement, fresh ideas, and of course the classic Jedi vs Sith. And the actual clones are really interesting too. If you have not watched give it a shot, sit down with your little guy or girl so you can suck them into your dork-dom. 🙂   (You all know by now I am a major, major geek, right?)  LOL
Hasbro has put out some awesome toys to support the show and the current line is even cooler then the last, if that’s possible. The new Anakin figure not only do you get a cool figure that is fully articulated, a light saber, and a helmet- but you also get a card and dice for the new Galactic Battle card game. You can reenact the breach of the Frigate with Anakin to retrieve the holocron. What I like about this figure is is easy to actually move around and play with. He isn’t stuck in one awkward position, holding one hand and one foot sideways. Little hates it when his toys don’t stand up, or stay standing. It is one of his pet peeves and I bet, Anakin could actually help keep some of his other toys up.   🙂

You can buy these fun toys at Toys R Us and many, many toystores, and you can also enter to win one here!

Miracle Gro Kids- Win!

July 8, 2011 by 220 Comments
Have you read your kids about Jack and the Bean Stalk?
How about the Princess and the Pea?
And of course, you feed them vegetables?
Ok, then it’s about time you told them about plants, too.  You have?  Well good job 🙂 You are officially on your way to planting a love of….well, planting in your kids, lol.  So, I’m sure you have been talking to your little one about plants and how seeds grow into plants plants grow bigger, germinate and then bear fruit/vegetables which they share with the rest of us.  Right?  Hahahaha.  This year we have decided to include the children in with the planting and growing of our vegetable garden.  Unfortunately, plants take a while between exciting milestones, if they make them past the seed point to begin with.  So just like a regular garden, who can help us out with this? Miracle Gro.  Miracle Gro has a new line of Gardening products for kids, aptly named Miracle-Gro Kids.  This new line helps bring gardening and plants in general, into a more kid friendly medium.  With interesting characters and some help getting the little guys to grow, we actually ended up with some pepper plants and tomato plants that are now flowering AND have little tomatoes on them.  This is the most excited I have seem them for a salad since I can remember.  We have been watering when necessary, keeping them in the sun and even talking to them a bit to keep them happy and growing.  I actually can’t wait for that salad either. 🙂

Want to try it for your kids?
You can win it here!

Win Super Soakers!

July 6, 2011 by 597 Comments

Super Soaker is releasing a new line of powered soakers. Thunderstom!  Have you ever had a battery powered super soaker?  Not I!  What makes these special is not only are they battery powered, but they also have fast change water clips. These guns are based one real weapons, from M-4’s to antiaircraft missiles. The big difference is, there is no way to mistake one of these for a real weapon. They are over sized, brightly colored and are definitely not made of metal. I know some of you might not like weapons or violence, and neither do I-  but this is not violent- it’s just water.  The action may represent violence- but if you give your kids good values, I think all will be well.  Water guns are fun in the summer, if your little ones go out to play with kids in the neighborhood, these will be a hit! Little Man and Kamikaze had a blast with these, the only bad thing was I let the hubs take the pictures- BAD IDEA!  LOL  They had so much fun- I got them later with the hose, too- just to make it REALLY interesting  🙂


Ready for the best part? There is a current promotion through Hasbro where you can get 2 soakers and 2 clips for less than $30 shipped.  NICE, right?

OK, so if you are crazy enough to let that promotion pass you by- or you perhaps want more then 2 (big family?  Want extras for when friends visit?)

Win Roary the Racing Car DVD

July 4, 2011 by 132 Comments

 This is such an adorable DVD- and has become my son’s #1 favorite.  I didn’t have any idea what this was until I saw this DVD, but it is really cute, and they have a fun (and inexpensive) line of toys as well.  Roary is a fun and friendly racecar who zooms about, of course, but the focus here is on friendship and helping others.  My son loves, loves, loves this DVD- and I am bummed because we don’t get this show on TV here, but we download it via the internet now.  YAY for technology! 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Get revved up for the red hot preschool star, Roary the Racing Car™, speeding
onto his very first DVD, Digital Download and On Demand release June 7, 2011
from Lionsgate and HIT Entertainment. You have a front row ticket to Silver Hatch
Racetrack to delight in the high-speed adventures of Roary™, Dragga, Zizzy
and Lugga, along with human pals Big Chris, Marsha, Officer Pete…and even
curmudgeonly Mr. Carburettor, as they drive through lessons in doing the right thing,
staying positive, helping others, staying safe, problem solving and friendship. With
boundless enthusiasm and a get-up-and-go attitude, Roary is ready to race right into
your heart!
Narrated in the U.S. by Indy and NASCAR racer Sam Hornish Jr., Roary the Racing

Page 1 of 3

Car launched on Sprout® in October of 2008, airing in 54MM homes 7 days a week, but
the premiere DVD has a treat for their fans featuring episodes never-before-seen on
TV! This red hot engine has performed notably well on Sprout on Demand, on average
ranking in the network’s top 10 programs requested. Roary has been cross promoted
on 2MM preschool DVDs, and all-new Roary toys are now available exclusively at
Toys “R” Us!

SYNOPSIS
Start your engines for fun and excitement with Roary the Racing Car and his racetrack
buddies, Tin Top, Zizzy, Dragga and mischievous Maxi, as they zoom into exciting high-
speed adventures. The racetrack becomes a pit stop of great times as everyone goes
the extra mile for Marsha’s birthday party, Big Chris becomes a babysitter and Rusty
is on a roll…without wheels! Put your pedal to the metal and buckle up for big-time fun
from START to FINISH!

Episodes include:
• “Stars and Cars” – Big Chris has been invited to appear on a TV karaoke show. The
cars are worried that the success will go to his head and he’ll leave Silver Hatch
forever.
• “Rusty Takes a Trip” – Rusty is fed up with sitting in one place. Roary and the other
cars plan a special surprise for him, but Rusty soon decides he prefers life without
wheels!
• “Big Chris Babysits” – Big Chris has been left in charge of the track and keeping an
eye on Roary and Zizzy. But is Big Chris the one that needs looking after?
• “Roary Gets it Wrong” – Farmer Green has given Roary lots of packages to deliver
to everybody around the track. How will Roary remember which package belongs to
who?
• “Computer Calamity” – Mr. Carburettor has decided that Silver Hatch needs to
move with the times and do everything with computers. But Big Chris is a traditional
mechanic, so what happens when the two disagree?
• “Big Chris Forgets” – It’s Marsha’s birthday, and Big Chris is in charge of organizing
a surprise for her. Why does everybody keep reminding him what he needs to do?
He wouldn’t forget anything… would he?!

You can win this adorable DVD!

Win Dinosaur Train Educational Toys Prize Pack!

July 4, 2011 by 352 Comments
Mini Projector

My Little Man just loves Dinosaur Train!  And Uncle Milton makes some really cute, science and discovery based toys that are both super fun and will teach your kids!  (Shhh!  Don’t tell them!) 
 My sweet boy had so much fun with these toys- I have to tell you, the Hatchers! and the Mini-Dino-Projector (flashlight) were his total favs, but don’t count out the Dino Poop or the Dino Tract Discovery Pack!

The Hatchers! were super fun, and a cute twist on those little sponges that you put in water in capsule form- you know, they grow into little shapes.
This was so much better!  Not only was it a fun friend from the show Dinosaur Train, but it really did come out of the egg.  Tiny was really well done, and started popping out of her shell after just a few hours.  Then it kept breaking off, until she was all out.  She grew bigger and bigger in the water, and grows to 4 times the “dry” size.  Once out of the water, she started to shrink.  When totally dry, she became smaller then the palm of your hand. 
The Dino Track Discovery Pack is adorable- whose tracks are these?  Buddys, Tiny’s, or Tank’s?  Learn about the dinosaurs that made the tracks as you go along and try to figure out who made them.  There is a surprise at the end, as well!

Let your kids play with poop!  LOL  I’m just kidding- it’s not real poop!  It’s pretend Dino Poop– and even though that sounds really gross, it’s also fun and funny.  Its just dough- but you can learn what the dinosaur had for lunch- is it a carnivore, omnivore, or herbivore?  (and look!  you can also expand your child’s vocabulary!)  
The Mini Dino Projector was one of Little Man’s favorites, and he has so much fun with it. It has 6 interchangeable disks,  that show different dino scenes.

Have fun with Buddy and Tiny as you project them on you wall with the Mini Dino Projector! Project T. rex and Pteranodon footprints on your floor.
Even surprise your friends and family with the big dinosaur image. And use the train image to take a ride on the Dinosaur Train!
Little likes to “scare” mommy with the dinosaur images- they creep up on me and bite me, its oh-so-scary, and makes Thor and Cooper ride the Dinosaur Train shadows with the dinosaurs.  My kid, what can I say…..
You can buy any of the above mentioned toys here for your child! 

So- Here is Prize Pack #1 for you!

Win Thor!

July 2, 2011 by 223 Comments
THE BIRTHDAY BASH BEGINS!!!
By Odin’s beard, there is a new Thor toy line.  Awesome!  I mean “By the mead of Loki”!
I can keep going,  but I really shouldn’t, lol.  (What can I say, I’m a big dork!)  So there is a new line of Thor toys coming out, actually, round 2 of the Thor toy line for the newly released movie- by the name of Thor, of course!
The characters who are recreated in five inch form are: Mighty Avenger Battle Hammer Thor, The Mighty Avenger Sword Spike Thor, The Mighty Avenger Secret Strike Loki, Invasion Frost Giant, Harpoon Blade Fandral, Blade Battle Marvel’s Hogun, Ram Smash Volstagg, Fire Blast Marvel’s Destroyer, and Hammer Smash Thor.  
We had the pleasure of giving The Mighty Avenger Sword Spike Thor a try.  Sword Spike Thor comes with not only Thor’s hammer, of course, but also the sword spike weapon.  The sword spike is a huge sword with a blue spike in the middle that you can take out and use as a spike weapon.  That’s right a total of three different weapons for Thor to kick the junk out of the Frost Giant.  Now on the surface, Thor is just a super hero with a hammer.  But if you look a little bit deeper, there is a very rich Norse mythology which is the tip of the iceberg to a Nordic culture in general.  Sure, your little guy may like Thor now but this could lead to an interest in foreign cultures and mythology, and reading.  Comics and action heros, sure!  But you know why I like Thor, right?  Because I am a GIANT history geek, and am thrilled with anything that might make my son love it and get interested in it as well.
