Crafty Bands review

Crafts allows kids to explore their creativity and imagination and to express ideas. It is also a time where you and your child can really bond and spend quality time together.

I recently had the opportunity to review Crafty Bands

Crafty Bands, are affordable, they inspire creativity and they encourage family time. The charms are removable so they can be traded and collected. It is super easy to use and are great for kids of all ages. Your littlest ones will enjoy making Disney Princess or Nemo charms and your older ones can make Justin Beiber, One direction or Selena Gomez charms.

  Find a design or picture you like in a magazine or on the Internet

· Slide the design into the innovative Shape Studio Tool

· Place the Bubble Cap over the design

· Close the lid and press

· Remove the Bubble Cap and glue it into the Crafty Snap Setting

 

· Close the Crafty Snap Setting through the band

 

 

It's nice to make something that kids can enjoy when they are done versus always having an item that needs to be displayed on the refrigerator.

The Crafty Bands Starter Kit is $29.95, it includes the Shape Studio Tool, four Crafty Bands, 20 Crafty Snaps, 20 Bubble Caps and adhesive. Refill Kits, including four Crafty Bands and 20 Crafty Snaps, are priced at $6.99.

Great as a Valentines gift! Crafty Bands is a simple craft for your kids to give to their friends, teachers or even their Grandma!

Review and Giveaway 3- DVD set of Shushybye Baby

Babies cry, fuss and come bedtime will refuse to settle down. For any mom it can sometimes seem like an impossible task to calm a fussy child.

I found when raising my daughter that Creating good routines worked well. It really will help your child feel calm if they start to know what to expect at bedtime.

One element you can add to your routine is Shushybye.

On January 27, BabyFirst, a television channel that features interactive entertainment for parents and children, debuted the new season of Shushybye. I had the pleasure of reviewing a magical 3 DVD collection of Shushybye Baby. It includes:
26 all-new complete episodes
56 Shushybye music videos
60 Original Shushybye songs in all
and
Over 40 fun-filled story-vignettes starring the Shushies!

About Shushybye:

Shushybye is an original preschool entertainment and lifestyle brand, encompassing a national television series, national radio show, Video On Demand programming, series of bedtime storybooks, toys and plush dolls, music CDs, DVDs and sleepwear. Shushybye is all about dreams…dreams made especially for children by the Shushies who live in Shushybye villages such as Nap Valley, Slumber Heights and Snore Shore. But children have to go to bed on time in order to get their Shushybye dreams (i.e. when Mommy tells them!). Children make their Dream Wish before they go to sleep. The Shushies make all their dreams then place them in Dream Boxes. Conductor McCloud puts the Dream Boxes on the Shushybye Train and transports them to children as they fall asleep on time.

About the DVD's

The Shushies live in a place called Shushybye and make dreams for children. The show promotes bedtime as something to look forward to. It is great to add to your bedtime routine and I found it to not only be entertaining but relaxing. The songs are catchy, the mood is scalm and soothing.

Tag'D Up Apparel GC Giveaway

Self-expression is an important part of child development. What your teen wears expresses who they are. Accessories are an important form of self expression to many kids.

I was approached by a wonderful company who's views on a child's self expression is very insightful.
Tag'D Up Apparel.

About Tag'D up:

Our company strives to give teens and young adults another outlet of self expression. Our S-Tags give wearers an opportunity to embrace what makes them unique. Whether you are an athlete or a bookworm, you will find an S-Tag that captures the essence of YOU. Be proud of what you are, be proud of what you do. This is what makes Tag'd Up Apparel 100% YOUnique. 

Being the mom to a teen I know the importance of my child being able to express herself. I was so excited when Tag'd Up offered to send us a foundation bracelet and a S- tag. My daughter choose this one

At this time in my girls life her biggest problem is being harrassed by young boys. Insert eye roll here :)
She is very attractive and also in her first real relationship. So when she saw this tag it was the perfect fit.

The foundation bracelet has 2 snaps, ensuring a perfect fit. This is wonderful as my daughter has the tiniest wrists. So the bracelet fits her perfectly. Because there is a second snap it also fits my wrist perfectly.

There are so many S-Tags to choose from such as Faith Tags, we loved this one

 

and Mood Tags,Zodiac Sports and more.

The foundation bracelets come in a variety of different colors and aside from the solid colors, they also offer custom and jeweled foundation bracelets.

Almondina Cookies Giveaway

Since beginning my diet I have been choosing healthier snacks. One of my favorites is almonds. Almonds are a very nutritious nut. Did you know that regular consumption of almonds helps to increase the level of high density lipoproteins (HDL) and reduce the level of low density lipoproteins (LDL), thereby effectively controlling cholesterol levels?

Though I love my almonds, old habits die hard and my sweet tooth often craves something a little sweeter. I found that great balance between healthy and delicious with a hint of sweetness! They are delectable little treats called Almondina.

Almondina cookies are crunchy cookies that are surprisingly low in the calorie department. They are thin, crispy, with almonds, fruit, seeds, and/or spices (depending on the variety).

I had the pleasure of trying some of Almondina’s cookies

• The Original – this went great with Earl Grey tea
• Sesame – The seeds gave this an exotic crunchy taste
• Choconut – Not a sweet chocolate flavoring, I would say this was semi sweet.
• Chocolate Cherry – Almonds, Chocolate and Cherries. The cherries added a very nice flavoring
• Cinnaroma – My favorite..cinnamon and raisins..bites of heaven..so good!
• Gingerspice – Great fall flavoring and nice cookie

 
I Love love these cookies! They are crunchy with the almonds, and the fruit adds a chewiness. The kids love them too!

You can find Almondina at Fairway, Publix, Hy Vee, Giant Eagle, Brookshire, Mollie Stone’s, Hannaford, Jewel, Whole Foods, The Fresh Market, Walmart, Trader Joe’s, Cost Plus World Market, TJ Maxx, Marshalls and many others. You can see our complete distribution @ www.almondina.com store finder
