Easter Skylanders , Limited Edition and Just in Time!

April 3, 2015 by Samantha 4 Comments

Easter is around the corner so its time for those last minute basket fillers. What better way to make your little one’s day then with a Skylanders Easter? Skylanders are available in special limited release Easter versions of some of your favorite characters and even a special trap for the newest Skylanders game, Trap Team. Skylanders have always blended their toys and games in fun ways, and this newest game turns it up a notch. The premise of Trap Team is, by using the newest portal, portal masters, the players can now capture bosses from the game and call upon them to use in the game itself. It is an interesting concept and makes for a very interactive gaming experiences, even further blending reality with the digital world of Skylanders.

The new Easter limited edition Skylanders are two fold, one is this year’s official mascot for the Annual Dragon Egg Hunt, Eggsellent Weeruptor. Weerupter is a bit of a trouble maker who captured Spyro, Cynder and Drobot inside a Traptanium basket after disguising himself as a candy coated egg. Sure, it isn’t the best way to celebrate Easter but it does make for an ‘Eggsellent’ adventure.

A Healthier Easter Basket

March 30, 2015 by Samantha 23 Comments

It’s easy to overload on candy during Easter, but there are some other options for kids that even look like little eggs from the Easter Bunny himself. Rickland Orchards Greek on the go! Yogurt Bites in Strawberry, Caramel and the newest addition Blueberry, all of which are available in individual snack-size bags. They are delicious, sweet snacks that you and your kids will love.

These delicious, chewy bites offer big taste and are made with authentic, European-sourced Greek yogurt and other high-quality ingredients. Other flavors include almond, pretzel and granola. My son loved them, and so did I.

More About the Products

It started with a simple discovery – people all over the world were mixing Greek yogurt with nutritious foods like granola and fruit to create delicious, protein-packed combinations. So we took a strained Greek yogurt coating – blended it with roasted nuts, granola and fruit – and transformed it into a convenient, great-tasting snack.

Refresh Your Child’s Wardrobe this Spring with RUUM

March 30, 2015 by Samantha 7 Comments

I don’t know about your kids, by mine grew like a weed over the winter months. He is going to be taller then me by the time he is ten, I swear. That being said, with Spring right around the corner (and here for much of the USA), we have the perfect excuse to refresh and brighten up our kid’s wardrobes.

My son loves his new duds- he says they are soft (the thing that he cares most about) and comfortable. He has worn the pants the most, as it is still winter weather here, and the sweater as well. We are looking forward to T-Shirt and shorts weather- when will that be, again? April is in a second….

With just a few clicks of your mouse, you can pick up some basic upgrades for your children this season. Head to http://www.ruum.com/ , they have some fun sales going on right now. The clothes are also fashion forward for the kid who worries about keeping up with trends and styles, and they are easy to mix and match.

Get Ready for Summer with Land’s End

March 30, 2015 by Samantha 10 Comments

So, it’s Spring, right? That’s what I hear, that’s what the calendar says, yet….yet it’s 32 degrees outside and I am still wearing boots and a winter coat every day. I think someone has gotten it way wrong. Isn’t Easter next week? Because it snowed last weekend, and I’m pretty sure April is just a few days away….Have you had it with winter, East Coast? Mid West? Do you fight the impulse to “unfriend” your buddies living in warmer climates who post selfies of themselves in shorts or in their backyards, barbequing in t-shirts? Then it’s time to get away. Fast. Check out the sweepstakes Land’s End is hosting to Win a Trip for Two to the warm and sunny British Virgin Islands.

After a horrible winter, the majority of us could use a warm getaway. Lands’ End has teamed up with the British Virgin Islands to offer one lucky winner a trip for two to the beautiful Bitter End Yacht Club. Make sure you enter to win (more points as you pass it along to friends as well).

Family Easter Outfits at Kohl’s

March 28, 2015 by Samantha 5 Comments

Spring is the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe, and with Easter looming, it’s a great reason to drag even the most resistant men in your life out for at least a small upgrade, true? We recently headed to Kohl’s to see what we could find for both of the men in my life to wear for the holiday this year. The smaller one is usually pretty compliant, it’s the bigger one that can be somewhat of a fighter, lol. They both agreed, however, on getting new pants and nice shirts. We got them things they could wear not only on Easter, but for future events.

Now that I look at it, it seems they are almost matching, though not intentionally- one blue on top and beige on the bottom, the other reversed, ha. My son decided he wanted to go in shorts (can you tell we’ve had it with winter and he’s looking forward to warm weather?) and my husband decided to get new jeans, which he could use. They both picked out their outfits without the other one seeing- my son was with me, and the husband was in the men’s department all by himself- I was amused when I saw how similar their selections were when we met in the boy’s department 😉
