My girls absolutely love to have their finger nails painted. I don’t mind painting there nails, especially because they really love it. I do however not really feel comfortable using nail polishes on them that have a great deal of chemicals in them. I was very impressed when I came across Piggy Paint

About Piggy Paint:

Melanie Hurley is the Founder of Piggy Paint. She always hated the thought of her children putting their hands in their mouths after she painted their nails with traditional kid polishes. The ingestion of chemicals worried her as well as the smell of painting all those nails. One day they were painting nails and her daughter dropped some paint onto a foam plate. The polish quickly bubbled up and then ate through the plate.

Barbie Party! #BarbieSecretDoor #MC #Sponsored

I participated in an In-Home Party Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Mattel. I received product samples to facilitate my party and a promotional item to thank me for participating. All opinions are my own.

10 13 14 064Barbie is as popular as ever and to celebrate her most recent movie release Barbie and the Secret Door. Any excuse to have a party is a good one. In the process of getting started for the party the most important part was finding some little guests who would appreciate the movie and toys. So we asked a few of our closest peanutty girl buddies to come by and share the fun.

Ken was invited by a partygoer- he is not part of the “Secret Door”

The fun started with snacks and a movie, and ended with snacks and dolls. All the kids liked the movie (especially the music) and of course the magic. The story follows Princess Alexa who would rather have a her nose in a book then do her princess-like responsibilities. This hit close to home because all kids don’t like responsibilities, especially with things like books, TV, and toys around. Alexa then find a secret door which whisks her off to a land of magic, fairies and mermaids. In the magical land there is an evil ruler who Alexa needs to defeat with friends, courage, and magic. Over the course of the story she learns how friends and courage can overcome seemingly impassable obstacles.
