Win KUNG FU PANDA 3 #PandaInsiders and Have a #PandaNightIn

July 21, 2016 by Samantha 44 Comments

We warned you! Prepare for a pand-tastic summer adventure as Po – reunited with his long-lost father – journeys to a secret village and meets countless panda friends and family! But when the supernatural villain Kai challenges all the Kung Fu masters across China, Po must discover the teacher within himself and train his clumsy brethren to become the ultimate band of Kung Fu Pandas! KUNG FU PANDA 3 AWESOME EDITION is now out on Digital HD and Blu-ray™ and DVD.

My son loved this movie, and we had a great time watching it. He finds Po hilarious, and he has enjoyed all the movies. We got to get ready for our Panda Party with his friends in style. There was a fun package full of pandas, keychains, reusable teabags, a dumpling book, and more. He was excited to share not only the movie but also the pandas with his best buddies.

20160627_153742

We would like to try our hand at dumpling making, but for this party, we got lazy and just ordered Chinese food. I’ve never made them before, and I have a feeling it will take me a few tries before I really get the hang of it. My son likes to cook with us, so I think he will have fun figuring it out with me.

20160627_154013

We had some fun Chinese food (including dumplings, of course) while we watched the movie. Since they are Po’s favorite, we had to get some for our movie night. These are crab and shrimp, which are my son’s favorite. He likes both steamed and fried- have you tried them like this?

20160618_145714

My son also liked all the little pandas eating all the noodles and dumplings in the movie, and wanted himself and his friends to have noodles and dumplings while watching the movie.

Check out this fun clip from the new movie. The clip, voiced by Po (Jack Black), delves into the history and background of the supernatural villain Kai and the origin of his frightening jade Jombies!

New Summer Toys

July 20, 2016 by Samantha 1 Comment

Looking for some fun new toys this summer? Here are a few new items we think your kids will love.

P60718-002838

Hamsters In A House by ZURU might bring to mind another toy craze from a few years ago, and we admit there are likenesses. These little hamsters are small (though not so small your kids can swallow them) and and soft and furry. They buzz and scoot around any smooth, flat surface, as well as in their own little “ecosystems”. There are several houses, like the luxurious “Ultimate Hamster House”, that has a bed, slide, and even a toilet that makes flushing sounds. Every kid loves that best, potty humor goes a long way. Put the hamsters on any hotspot, and the phrases are activated. ($30) There are also Hamster and Accessory Packs that range from styling studios, to cars, and more parts for their runs (think train tracks for the hamsters). The cars are cute, and come in blue and pink. 9$ and up.
Available exclusively at Toys”R”Us. HamstersInAHouse.com /

P60718-003038
Micro Boats are so much fun for summer (and will be great year round as well). They are water-
activated (put them in water and they go) and once dry they stop. These self-steering, fully motorized speed boats are lots of fun in tiny size. There are six individual boats available. $10

There is also the Micro Boats Shark Attack Challenge Playset that lets you put the boats into a set with a water filled track, and race to stay away from each other and a shark. There is also a real working crane. One boat comes with the set. $25 ZURUMicroBoats.com /

Finding Dory Toys

Disney•Pixar’s Finding Dory Robo Fish Collection is out just in time for the Finding Dory movie. If your kids are Nemo fans, they will love this movie as well. Dory and Nemo (and all their friends, as well as some new ones) are back and having some summer fun. The Disney•Pixar Finding Dory Coffee Pot Playset is my son’s favorite, because he can carry Dory around in a Coffee Pot Playset just like in the movie. Of course, it works with any other character you’d like to put into it as well, but it only comes with Dory. $19.99 The additional Disney•Pixar Finding Dory Small Characters are also available as
RoboFish, which move as soon as they are in the water. Your kids can recreate all the Dory fun from the movie, and make up new scenes all their own. They can also “just keep swimming” with them in the bath, pool, wherever. Dory, Nemo, Marlin and more are available. There is a “power save” mode that automatically switches off after one minute in the water. $11.99 each. Available in Walmart, Toys R Us, and more.

If your kids can’t get enough Angry Birds, you are in for a treat. Spin Master has released everything from playsets, to collectable figures, to zooming toys, and more are available. Launch your bird at the pigs to save your eggs in the Angry Birds Pig City Strike Playset, which comes with launcher, bird, pigs, and stackable city (just like in the app!). Victory is yours as the city comes crashing down. Small collectable figures can add to sets, or be played with solo (my son does both). The large vinyl figures are great for launching or using as a ball- they are just the right size. Angry birds come to life as you throw them into your blocks, playsets, and more. They do bounce, so they can go off walls and such as well. Angry Birds Speedsters are fun as well, and ready to roll on any flat surface. Wind them back, and let them go- and they are off and ready to crash into whatever you launched them into. Prices vary- available at Toys R Us, Amazon, and more.

DockATot- Must Have Baby Product

July 20, 2016 by Danielle 1 Comment

Disclosure- I received the below in order to facilitate this post. All opinions are my own and honest. Please see “I disclose” for more information.

As most of you have realized or noticed by now, I have had another baby :). Over the next few weeks you can be lucky enough to look forward to finding out about some of the greatest baby products that are on the market today. I want to share with you some of my favorites that I can not live without! The first one to share with you is the DockATot Deluxe.

About DockATot:

The DockATot is a multi-functional lounging, playing, chilling, resting and snuggling dock you can take anywhere. This was created with love in Sweden with a strict emphasis on design and comfort, there is simply nothing else like it on the market that allows mothers to feed, soothe, and bond with baby.

The Difference: The differences are in the sheer innovation; love and luxury that have been exhaustively thought out in the design process, with their own children in mind. Every material and detail is carefully micro-managaed to ensure the highest quality of breathability, non-toxicity, comfort, and convenience.

The Convenience: Sure it’s stylish, but that’s only the beginning. DockATot travels easily form place-to-place and features a plush cocoon- like design for optimal protection and durability. The 100% cotton fashion sheets are machine washable, allowing for easy changes for life’s messy moments.

The Philosophy: Babies need a nurturing and cozy surrounding and feel calmer being in a smaller environment, which mimicks the mother’s womb. DockATot creates a soft and tender surrounding for little ones to lie in and feel snug and comforted.

The Collection: With two sizes ranging from 0-36 months, the Grand and Deluxe DockATot are the only products that will transition with your child through every stage.

The Promise: The DockATot has been rigorously tested and is fully compliant with both federal law and U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commision proposed standards, setting a new standard for baby lounger design and comfort.

DockATot is both a luxury and a necessity for any parent who wants their little one’s earliest years to be nestled in a happy and healthy cocoon of comfiness.

About DockATot Deluxe:

The Deluxe Dock is the ultimate docking station for your baby ages 0-8 months old. Multifunctional and multitasking, the DockATot Deluxe offers a safe and comfy spot that lets baby rest, lounge, play, cuddle, do tummy time and get diaper changes. Deluxe docks are lightweight and portable, allowing for easy travel. Additional covers are available for purchase to match your mood, room, and style.

Measurement:

18 inches wide x 29-34 inches long (29 inches with clasps closed and 34 inches with clasps open).

My Thoughts:

I absolutely love the DockATot Deluxe. It is for sure one of my favorite products that I have ever used with a newborn. It is a great place for her to hang if I need to set her down on the floor, but out of the way of our dog and my other children. I also think that it is an amazing spot for her to take naps when we aren’t always at home and her bed isn’t necessarily available. We are getting ready to go on a vacation in a few weeks, I am definitely planning on taking this amazing product with us to use for her to sleep in! I would recommend this great product to anyone that is having a baby. I am hoping to get the DockATot Grand when she outgrows this one as well!

Purchase:

If you are interested in purchasing this great product for that sweet baby in your life, head on over to their website and order the one that matches your lifestyle.

Kidz Bop 32 – Great Way to Enjoy Summer

July 14, 2016 by Danielle 1 Comment

Disclosure- I received the below in order to facilitate this post. All opinions are my own and honest. Please see “I disclose” for more information.

As I’m sure all of you remember by now, I am an absolute huge fan of Kidz Bop Cd’s. I can promise you that Kidz Bop 32 did not disappoint in any way at all!

About Kidz Bop:

Kidz Bop records kid-friendly versions of today’s biggest pop music hits. They release two major numbered albums each year. They also release a themed album in the spring.

Who sings on the Kidz Bop albums?

The Kidz Bop kids sing on the kidz bop albums. For four consecutive years (2010-2013), Billboard magazine has named the Kidz Bop Kids the “#1 Kids Artists” in the U.S. !

Who are the Kidz Bop Kids and how does Kidz Bop cast the group?

Meet the new Kidz Bop kids – Ashlynn, Bredia, Grant, Jayna, and Matt! Kidz Bop recently held a nationwide casting call to find a new group of talented young performers to sing on the Kidz Bop albums, star in TV commercials & music videos and travel North America as part of the Kidz Bop Kids live tour.

About Kidz Bop 32:

Love Yourself
Don’t Let Me Down
Work
Never Forget You

Life of the Party (Bonus Track)

My Thoughts:

I have been a huge fan of Kidz Bop CD’s since I became a teacher and a mom. Kids in my classroom as well as my own children love to listen to popular great music, but as we all know the music that is popular these days truthfully isn’t really all that appropriate for children to listen to.

I love that Kidz Bop takes popular songs and changes the words just a bit so that they are appropriate for children to listen to.

I can promise you that this new CD is just as amazing as all the other great ones that Kidz Bop has created.

I asked my girls to tell me their favorite song on the cd, but they were unable to pick just one favorite. They wanted me to let you all know that they liked each and every song on the cd.

Purchase:

If you are interested in purchasing this great CD, head on over to the website and get your copy ordered today.
