I wont be on for a while

I am having major family health issues and I am not sure when I will have time to post.

Jig-a-loo

When I first got my jig-a-loo in the mail I wasn't quite sure what to do with it. Jig-A-Loo is a revolutionary new product that combines the power of a lubricant with the properties of a water-repellent.

It’s a dry silicone-based lubricant that, unlike any other lubricant, contains no oil, grease, wax, petroleum distillates or detergent, so it doesn't stain or stink. It stops squeaks, un-sticks just about anything, protects against rust, and is an exceptional water repellent.

With the 3+ feet of snow that we recently got we had a really hard time shoveling. We tried spraying baking spray on the shovel and after a few minutes it would start sticking again. We also tried crisco and rubbing a candle on the shovel still not working. Then my husband found the Jig-a-loo in the garage and tried it. He said it worked like a charm. The snow wasn't sticking anymore and it made shoveling a lot easier. Try it out for yourself.

I got an Award!

I received the Oh So Fabulous Award from Toni:



The rules are: I should tell you 5 things I’m absolutely addicted to, and of course pass it on to the 5 blogs :)

Jonathan's Wild Cherry Spoons - Giveaway

I cook and bake a lot and I have learned which utensils are better for the different types of cooking and baking. I love to use wooden utensils especially when I am making pastas or sauces. Jonathan's Spoons are perfect for any type of baking or cooking that you would want to do.

Inspired by the simplistic beauty of the American Arts & Crafts Movement, Jonathan’s Wild Cherry Spoons offer a awe-inspiring variety of wooden utensils for cooking and serving.

Trebimbi - Giveaway

I really wish that I had had the Trebimbi Club Set when my kids were learning how to use utensils. I just love the design of the utensils, plate and egg cup. Their designs are made so that kids have fun eating. The bright, plastic cutlery connects to each other, as well as to the bowl, mug and eggcup as well.
I tried the Trebimbi Club Set on my niece who is turning 1 on Dec. 22 and she had a blast. She is still learning how to feed herself so it was fun to see her maneuver the fork and spoon into her mouth. She did have a lot of fun with the colors and different things to eat with.

Minnie Mouse's Christmas Tree at Disneyland

Pediped

When your little one is learning how to walk, shoes can be very constricting. Pediped makes shoes that are the next best thing to bare feet. According to the American Podiatric Medical Association, "Allowing the youngster to go barefoot or to wear just socks helps the foot to grow normally and to develop its musculature and strength as well as the grasping action of the toes." Doctors also recommend that children first learning how to walk go barefoot or wear soft flexible shoes. Walking around barefoot is not always practical, as little feet need protection from rough surfaces and dirty floors. Soft-soled shoes provide the health benefits of being barefoot with the added protection of soles.

Pediped footwear is designed with comfort, quality and stlye:
Comfort: Pediped footwear is made with premium, non toxic, ECO grade leather throughout. Foam insoles and cushions provide a comfortable fit, along with padded heels to absorb shock.
Quality: unsurpassed quality and craftsmanship have earned pediped footwear a loyal following. Premium grade leather, distinctive styling and remarkable attention to detail have resulted in truly exceptional shoes.
Style: With over 45 fashion forward styles to choose from pediped is sure to compliment any look. Designs include all occasion Mary Janes, patent holiday shoes, traditional penny loafers, breezy sandals and ultra cool athletic shoes.
Kayla got a pair of Pedipeds and they are her favorite to wear. Anytime we go somewhere or even when she had to go to school those are the shoes that she wants to wear.


Would you like to win a pair of pedipeds?

Just go to their website and tell me 2 stlyes and in what size that you would like to win. (you are picking 2 in case the first style is not available)

Holidays at Disneyland

To help kick of the holiday season at Disneyland, Disney invited 50 mommy bloggers, and their families, to attend a weekend of fun at the Disneyland Hotel and Disney Parks in Anaheim.
I had been excited for weeks but I didn't tell Kayla because I knew that she would ask non stop about when we were going to go.

We waited until Jimmy got home from work so that he could tell her. She seemed excited to go but I don't think that she fully grasped the magic that is Disneyland. We told her that Disneyland is where all the princesses live along with Mickey, Goofy, Minnie and a whole lot more. It only took us an hour and a half to get there. So it wasn't too bad.

We got ready in out motel and then off to the Grand Californian Hotel for some meet and greet with other blogger along with a presentation.
The hors d'oeuvres were sooo good! I chased the guy that had the pizza. It had zucchini on it! They had a face painting station for the kids as well as video games.

The mommy bloggers were called into a separate area while the kids and other adults ate dinner. We saw a slide show about the different foods and treats that could be found around the park. ( I was starving so they all looked incredible!)
Then we got a how-to lesson from the Executive Pastry Chef Jean Marc on how to make a gingerbread house. He made it look easy and it smelled amazing.
We then got a presentation about Photo Pass. Which is really really cool. There are photographers around the park that will take your picture and all that you need to get your picture is a card. You go onto the photo pass website and you can order prints or get your images on a cup, an ornament or even make your own calender!

So after the presentation we got to eat dinner. I had noodles with tomatoes and melted cheese on top. yum!

Then we had escorts that walked us from the hotel to a special viewing area to see the fireworks show. Our escorts was amazing. I asked him every single question that popped into my head and he answered every one. Did you know that the whole park is decorated in one night? It takes 25,000 people to do it. (just something that I learned form Chris)
We still had a little time before the fireworks so we made out way over to Pirates of the Caribbean. It was just as great as I remembered and I was very excited to see Jack Sparrow in there. I hadn't seen it since they changed it.

The fireworks show was amazing. The set the fireworks to music which made it that mush better. Plus the castle changed from purple to pink to blue. It was truly magical.

After the fireworks we were escorted over to It's a Small World. We got fast passes which I am very glad for because that line was very long. Kayla was absolutely mesmorized by it. They sing Jingle Bells and that made her day since that is a song that she is learning in her kindergarten class. The whole ride is decked out in all that is Christmas. They really go all out when they decorate.

So after Small World we decided that we were very tired (it was about 11 Pm) so we made our way back over the Grand Californian to get our car.



The next day was just a whirlwind of rides, food and magical times. I love Disneyland and I was beyond impressed with the decor and how nice everybody was. They were happy to hold our balloon while we were on a ride and they madew our expierience perfect. So if you haven't been to Disneyland during the holidays then I highly reccommend that you go. It is a memory that you will hold with you for the rest of your life. I know I will.

Mugwaz - Review

Kayla is so into girlie things with sequins and pretty things. We had a blast with the things that we got from Mugwaz. We got the Mugwaz Flip Flops, Mugwaz Teez and the Linkz.
Kayla LOVED decorating her own t - shirt. Since she is in kindergarten and is learning how to color better, she had a blast using the different colors and going into detail. The shirt comes in a pack with 6 neon markers and is a lot of fun.

We also got to decorate a pair of flip flops. Each flip flop kit comes with 1 pair of Mugwaz Flip Flops, 4 tubes of glitter, joolz in flower and heart shapes, 1 bottle of glue, 1 Activity mat and Popsicle sticks. It was a little messy but now Kayla has a pair of flip flops that are all her own.

The Linkz are also fun. You can make just about anything out of them. A necklace, bracelet, anklet or even a purse handle. Each kit comes with 75 linkz, so the possibilities are endless.

Baby Shoes from Rileyroos

Shoes are very important when your little baby is learning how to walk. Some shoes can hinder the natural bend in a foot and that can be frustrating. Luckily Rileyroo makes developmentally friendly and stylish shoes. Rileyroo's design inspiration comes from a combination of European fashion trends and American spirit and casualness. They designed the line to imitate barefoot walking and to protect little feet. The sole of a Rileyroos shoe is flexible and its rubber-padded sole curls above the toes to provide leverage as a child begins crawling. Unlike many heavy or bulky first walking shoes, Rileyroos’ lightweight construction and protective bottoms support a child’s foot as he or she starts walking and provides traction to prevent falls on slippery surfaces.

I got these little Caters from Rileyroo. James loves to wear them and I know that his feet are nice and warm. Every little one needs a pair of cozy boots to keep their feet warm, protected and stylish! One of the few Vegan boots on the market. Rubber soles to protect little feet and provide greater durability. Our Caters are unique from others as they are machine washable - keep them looking as good as the day you bought them!

Child to Cherish - Crayon Apron

If you are like me and have a budding artist on your hands then the Crayon Apron is the perfect gift. This crayon apron is the perfect accessory for your talented little girl. It has 24 little places for 24 crayons. Kayla has used it numerous times and loves that she can reach into her apron and get whichever color she wants. The Apron comes with a 24 pack of brand new crayola crayons and is ready to go. So if you are looking for a gift for your little artist make sure to visit Child to Cherish.

License to Snack - Frito Lay - Giveaway

Sometimes I feel guilty when I let myself indulge. I don't have to feel guilty when I eat the new healthier snacks from Frito Lay. All of their snack chips have 0 grams of trans fat per serving. My favorite chips are salt and vinegar. yum!

Here's why Chips aren't as bad as you think:
Frito-Lay snack chips start from simple ingredients – potatoes or corn and healthier oils. These ingredients are simply prepared – sliced potatoes, ground whole corn or cornmeal cooked in a blend of healthier oils, like sunflower and corn oils, with salt sprinkled on.

Healthier Oils: Frito-Lay snack chips are cooked in healthier oils such as corn, sunflower and soybean oils. Like olive oil, these three oils are high in unsaturated fats (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated), lower in saturated fat and have 0 grams of trans fat.
Sodium: Believe it or not, most Frito-Lay chips have less sodium than a slice of bread and serving of Cheerios. Chips taste salty because the salt is on the surface of the chip, making it the first thing you taste.
Whole Grains: For those looking to add more whole grains into their diet, Frito-Lay's SunChips multigrain snacks are made from a blend of corn, oats, rice and wheat and have 18 grams of whole grains in each one ounce serving.
Portion Control: Frito-Lay has introduced the Singles line - pantry-friendly packs of single-serve bags to help consumers manage their portion size. The Singles line offerings include Lay's, SunChips, Cheetos, Fritos, Doritos and Rold Gold brands. Frito-Lay also offers SunChips, Cheetos and Doritos snacks in convenient 100 calorie portion packaging to take the guesswork out of portion control.


In a 10 oz bag of Lay's, there are about:
4.5 medium potatoes
7 tsp oil
0.7 tsp salt

For more information visit License to Snack.

Would you like to win a basket full of yummy snacks from Frito Lay?
The basket Includes:
SunChips/Whole Grains

Lays Singles/Portion control

Tostitos/Healthy dips.

Disney During the Hoildays!

When it comes to celebrating the magic and sparkle of the holidays, there’s no place like the Disneyland Resort, the Merriest Place on Earth. From November 21 through January 4, the annual Disneyland Resort holiday celebration will be more dazzling than ever.

I am so excited to be going to Disneyland next weekend, Friday Dec. 5th and Saturday Dec. 6th. I am taking Kayla and I can not wait to see her face when she sees Disneyland decked out for the Holidays! My sister is going to be going as well (Jimmy has to work)

To top it all off I am going with my dear friend Amanda, and I get to meet Christine! So everyone if your going to this amazing even next weekend EMAIL ME!! I'd love to meet my fellow mom bloggers and let our kids meet! I am so very excited... OK so Amanda & I are, we haven't told our kids yet LOL.


Guests will enjoy the return of the holiday’s most popular offerings as well as be immersed in new entertainment at both Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure parks.

Sleeping Beauty’s Winter Castle, first introduced in 2007, will be decorated even more elaborately this holiday season with additional snowdrifts and icicles. After dark, a sensational new holiday lighting and special effects show will carry the magic of the holidays from the Castle all the way to the Christmas Tree in Town Square. And, for the first time in 53 years, the Christmas Tree will be completely artificial, which enables Disneyland to present a holiday light show like no other with more than 62,000 energy-efficient LED lights.

The Sleeping Beauty’s Winter Castle presentation unfolds throughout the evening in three acts, each of them featuring a touch of winter snow on Main Street, U.S.A. The finale of the show includes the legendary “Believe … in Holiday Magic” fireworks show, which takes guests on a journey of sights and sounds of the season and ends with a touching rendition of “White Christmas” along with a climactic snowfall swirling down on Main Street, U.S.A., “small world mall” and New Orleans Square.

New this year, just in time for the holidays and for the first time in seven years, guests will walk through the iconic home of Sleeping Beauty. A “reawakened” Sleeping Beauty Castle show tells the story of “Sleeping Beauty” in a style reminiscent of the Disneyland Castle walk through of earlier years, but enhanced with 21st-century special effects.

Themed entertainment, sparkling decorations and tasty treats add festive warmth to holiday fun at both Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure. Guests can also book guided holiday tours that provide expedited entry into the “it’s a small world” holiday and Haunted Mansion Holiday, VIP seating for the Disneyland “A Christmas Fantasy” parade and entertaining information about the history behind Disneyland holiday traditions. For information and reservations guests can visit Disneyland City Hall or call (714) 781-4400.

Mystic Wonders - Review

Have you ever thought about not having to use laundry soap anymore? Let me introduce you to the Mystic Wonders Laundry Ball. The Wonder Ball™ is a safe pvc/vinyl ball with a frequency enhanced mineral blend inside for use in your washing machine allowing you to use less (to none at all) laundry detergents. With the invention of the Wonder Ball you now have a choice. By using "very little to no" laundry detergents (some people choose none) when washing your clothes with this laundry aid, you can save hundreds of dollars per year. You be the Judge. By making the wise choice to use the wonder ball your family will be thankful for having "less to no" chemicals and fillers, found in detergents, next to their skin. For instance -- baby's washable diapers and pajamas, ladies hand washable lingerie, clothing, bath towels and bed linens. This laundry aid can be a major improvement for persons with tender skin and/or allergies.

They also sell Prill Beads. When Prill beads are placed in a gallon of yucky tap water... in 24 hours, that water is transformed into pristine water that is free of chlorine and most contaminants are neutralized. After 1 hour you can draw off and use 3 quarts, and by adding three quarts of tap water to the remaining quart you can then draw off 3 quarts of pure water every hour for the rest of your life!! Jimmy can't wait to try them out. He is fascinated with the idea of them.

Everyone needs to experience this incredible natural soap, enhanced with Pascalite Clay. A little, goes a long way and stays with you a long time. Great for those with dry skin. Wonder Goat Milk Soap is great as a special gift for babies or anyone, especially yourself. Use it once and notice the difference.


Ayate Cloths are an open woven cloth.
High quality, HAND woven from the Agave (cactus) plant, by Artisans using traditional pre-Columbian methods. n use the 12x12 cloth gently removes dead skin like nothing else you have tried. Results in the first use. Use with your favorite soap or just water. Some even use it dry.The cloth is long lasting, quick drying and better than a loofah. It resists mold and is machine washable. Most people rinse the cloth well after use and hang over towel bar to dry.

An absolute must for those that want to experience relief or just to pamper themselves or loved ones is the JESN massage ball. Roll on bottom of foot or any achy area for instant results. The frequency enhanced mineral blend inside the ball creates a great energy: this energy just makes you feel better. Use on your scalp for uplift, the bottom of your feet or anywhere between. Inside the box you will find 2 helpful charts to help with energy lines.

Wonder Balm is an Old-Fashioned Healing and Soothing Agent for all Skin Conditions and Disorders. This is an Amish formulation made for Mystic Wonders Inc. Wild-crafted and processed by cold infusion. Once you use this incredible balm, you will find yourself wishing you had it years ago, and that you had extra to give to everyone you know who has any kind of skin problem; chronic or temporary. Try it and you will agree; it is darned near a miracle...you will never want to be without it again.

Our Lip Wonder is so special with the "Shea Butter"! It is a known fact that Shea Butter has natural sun blockers. This is the best you can find, it does not just set on your lips, and it actually goes in where needed. This great product is excellent for use on dry cuticles.


About Mystic Wonders
Mystic Wonders Inc. (MWI) was born 1-01-01. MWI is the result of two small Iowa companies combining their years of knowledge and ability to design, formulate and enhance safe everyday products. With their concern for the environment MWI concentrated on perfecting the laundry ball to the best laundry aid possible that would work through physics and at a price the consumer would appreciate. The cost is only $1.11 per month to use. The Consumer Protection Group of Omaha NE subjected the original MWI formulation to a thorough 3-week testing program in 1998. The results of testing the laundry aid were very positive. “Yes, the laundry ball does treat the water; you still need to pre-treat stains as claimed.” It is the science of tomorrow here today.

Great Wrapping Ideas- Hallmark

I love seeing the presents under the tree with all the bows and colored paper. Nobody does wrapping paper better than Hallmark. To top it off they now have adhesive wrapping paper. So no more of that tape business, where you are trying to hold the paper down with one hand while trying to get a piece of tape with the other. Adhesive Gift Wrap was introduced earlier this year to rave reviews from consumers who wanted to have a clean, crisp look to their presents, but either did not have the time (or patience) to wrap a present with regular gift wrap. It’s pretty much like using a sticky note — the sticky coating on the paper adheres to the present (without leaving any residue), and there’s no need to fumble around with tape, hold down edges, or any of the usual frustrations that can go into wrapping gifts.

They also have these new bags called Peek Buster Bags. I tried it out and it is hilarious. This year, Hallmark is introducing a new way to “bust” those present-anxious little ones (and big ones too) through the new line of “Peekbuster” gift bags. The bags have a sensory detector that sets off an alarm of funny noises when someone tries to peek at their presents in the bag. The bags range in size, and include noises that sound like car alarms, and even one that features Santa Claus kindly, but firmly, telling the peeker to “step away from the bag.” Other gift bags include cleverly incorporated lights and sounds, accentuating the overall gift presentation.


Another thing that Hallmark is famous for is their Christmas tree decorations. I was lucky enough to receive three of them and I am in love.

"The Unforgettable Leg Lamp"
"Fra-GEE-Lay...it must be Italian!" exclaims Ralphie's dad as his "Major Award" arrives in it's mysterious crate. Mrs. Parker looks on dubiously as the unforgettable "leg lamp" emerges from it's straw packing. To her horror, her husband gives it a place of honor in the front window for all the world to see! However, it isn't long before the lamp is broken while Mrs. Parker is watering plants. Was it an accident? No one will ever know, but the saga of the lamp will be discussed and debated in the Parker family for years to come.


"Trimming the Tree"
It's nice to have a helper
when it's time to trim the tree
To top it off with a shibing star
for everyone to see-
Just finding little ways
for little hands to do their part
Is sure to make a memory
In a little someone's heart!

"A Smile Most Unpleasant"
The Grinch slink through Who-ville,
his smile most unpleasant,
His plan, to stop Christmas
by taking each present.
But Who-ville has something
the Grinch cannot steal -
the pure, joyful spirit
that makes Christmas real.

Marshall's Megashop

Recently I was given the opportunity to go to Marshall's and check out all of the new fall styles. I was really excited because I like girlie shoes and I like trying them on. When we got there I went to the women's section and tried on a couple pairs of boots but nothing really tickled my fancy. So I made my way over to the kids' shoes because both of the kids needed new boots. Their selection of kids boots was nice and I was pleased with the variety. We ended up getting James and Kayla each a pair of boots.
