June 18, 2013 by Admin Leave a Comment

My girls love My Littlest Pet Shop! I never knew there was a cartoon though, so when I got the DVD it was a nice surprise. The cartoon LPS airs on The HUB TC Network in the USA. Shout! Factory Kids teamed up with Hasbro to release the DVD June of this year to bring some funny, upbeat, silly adventures with our all time favorite little pets.

A cute girl named Blythe Baxter moves into the city with her hilarious father. They move into a apartment above a pet shop and she soon finds more adventure than she thought she ever would find in the city! She can talk to the pets in the shop below her and even more- they can talk back! Blythe not only talks to the pets but she helps them when trouble comes along. During her adventures [Read more…]

I most definitely always seem to be on the lookout for the perfect purse. I’m pretty picky about specifics of the purses I use, so I don’t always find one that I like. I do admit that when I finally find the one I like, I typically keep it for a very long time. I am happy to share with you my new Tori Purse in Natural Linen from Velvet Pepper.

About Velvet Pepper:

Net Zero 4G Hotspot – Great for Travel @NetZero_4G

June 17, 2013 by Samantha 4 Comments

While traveling, one of the most daunting tasks can be finding a wifi connection. The internet might be the only way to reach friends and family, or maybe just update your Facebook status. There are many options available to have a constant wifi connection, most of which are quite expensive. There is one option which really stands out as not only easy to use, but also cost effective.

The Net Zero 4G Hot Spot is pretty sweet. This new device acts like a router for the Net Zero 4G cellular network. Any wifi enabled device can connect to the special portable secured wireless network. This network can give the user 4G speeds anywhere there is a signal. This might not sound very quick when compared to a wired broadband connection, but keep in mind a broadband connection is usually only available at home or work.

The device is easy to use. All you have to do is turn on the device on. Which can be powered via the internal battery or wall adapter. Once powered up, the device searches for a signal and up to eight devices can connect to one Hot Spot. The signal [Read more…]

I am always on the lookout for a wonderful case for my iPad. I have a lot of requirements when I am looking for them: Durable, Sturdy, Supportive, etc. I must admit that I have been completely impressed with my Case Genius Pro from ZooGue.

About ZooGue:

The owner and creator, Tim Angel, has been an inventor since he was the age of 10. His first case was hand made by him, with thin cardboard, a glue gun, some tape, and he painted it. That may have been his start, but since he’s started, he’s never looked back!

Win VTech Innotab and Games to Beat Summer Brain Drain

June 11, 2013 by Samantha 56 Comments

Disclosure: The VTech product, information, and additional gift pack have been provided by VTech to facilitate my review. All opinions are my own and honest. I am disclosing this in accordance to FTC Guidelines. Please see “Disclose” tab for more information.

My little fella just started his summer break. We all know that kids lose a lot of knowledge over the summer- Most students lose about two months of grade level equivalency in mathematical computation skills over the summer months. Some students also lose more than two months in reading achievement. (Cooper, 1996) Parents consistently cite summer as the most difficult time to ensure that their children have productive things to do.

I personally am not a huge fan of plugging kids in all day, or letting children have free reign over mom and dad’s tablets and phones, they are expensive and not made to be used as toys. So many kids are plugged in all day as it is, not spending enough time playing outside or playing games or with mom and dad. However, a little educational play goes a long way, and there is a time and a place for technology. In today’s modern world, there is a need to let kids have technology to a degree. Why not let them use tablets made for kids, like the VTech Innotab.

The VTech InnoTab 2S has safe, educational content hat you choose yourself, as well as the ability to take pictures, video, do artwork, and more. In certain games, you can replace your favorite characters face with your own or whomever you choose. There is also an MP3 player, and you can download and read e-books as well.

Released at the same price point as the original InnoTab, VTech has refreshed it’s product to include a more modern tablet feel. Including a new rotatable camera and video recorder, secure Wi-Fi and personalization utilized by up to four users.

With the InnoTab 2S all attention has been diverted from my iPad and onto the 5” touch screen of the InnoTab. Touch, tilt, drag-and-drop [Read more…]

Little Pnuts-Imagine.Create.Play – Review

June 4, 2013 by Danielle Leave a Comment

I received the Little Pnuts Toddler Special Delivery package, in order to facilitate her review. All opinions are my own and honest. I am disclosing this in accordance to FTC Guidelines. Please see “Disclose” tab for more information.

With a 3 year old and a 1 year old, I find myself always trying to find the perfect items for them to play with, and most importantly not bring more “junk” into my house. Wouldn’t it be nice if someone would just send you the perfect items right to your house? Well guess what? I have found that perfect company. Little Pnuts is just that.

About Little Pnuts:

Melissa realized that there was a real need for high quality, all natural, non-battery operated toys. When her children were young she started researching and trying to find toys that would work and be great for her kids. She realized that the American toy market could not provide her with what she was looking for, attractive toys that would enhance every sensorial perspective toys that would provide challenges, toys that would engage while providing a sense of accomplishment. These toys needed to enhance gross and fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination and help develop the focus and concentration.

Melissa then decided to turn to the European market and after a great deal of research, found exactly what she was looking for. Unfortunately, at the time, these toys were not easily accessible in the US, but she had family there that was more than happy to send them to her.

Beginning in 2012, Melissa decided it was time to combine her former skills and her newfound admiration for high quality educational toys to develop a company that would bring these toys to families in the US.

**You can choose one of 3 unique special delivery programs.
