Hidden Valley Veggie Adventure Game Review

My girls and I love playing together and sometimes that includes video games. Hidden Valley has created three fun games involving vegetables, Hidden Valley Veggie Adventure Game. The first game, At the Farm, is about helping your veggies grow. You have to water the plants and keep critters (bugs, birds and other animals) from snacking on your plants. The next game, On the Road, is all about getting the vegetables from the farm to market. The last game, In the Kitchen, is feeding kids healthy veggie snacks, but you have to move quick or they leave hungry. Princess A liked the games and was disappointed when I told her I need my computer back. Luckly it saves your game so you can go back to it. As soon as i finish this review I know she will want to play again. It is the perfect trio of games to play to get in the spirit of spring planting. My girls and I picked up some seeds a while ago and can't wait to start planting. We still have snow (it just snowed the other day) so we will have to start the seeds inside. The games are very cute and a quick and easy game to play with your little ones.

Princess A's Birthday Party!

Last June we attended a party at a Jump place and as soon as we left Princess A asked to have her next party there. I was just planning a party at home but Daddy agreed it was a great idea.

There are three inflatables to play on, the slide, the obstacle course and the jumpy house. Princess A went for her favorite, the slide. After a few slides she came and got me to slide with her.

Next we did the obstacle course and then the jumpy house. Everyone was having so much fun.

Princess G went on everything too, she even found a little car to play in!

After an hour of running and jumping it was time for cupcakes!!! I tried to make a rose but the icing was a little too thin so it was a little floppy. Princess A still thought it was "The most beautiful flower ever, Mommy!!" If she loves it so do I!

Next it was time to open gifts. Each child got to sit next to her while she opened their gift. Princess G wanted to give her a present too. After opening gifts the kids had almost another 45 minutes to wear themselves out.

It was a great party and after the two hours most of the kids were tired. The girls actually had swim practice later that day but we skipped it. I found out later the showers were closed at the pool so I was even happier we did not go.

Children's Muesum

A friend's membership to the Children's museum was ending and she invited us for one last trip. The girls had so much fun. Here they are playing in the sand exhibit.

A favorite is the water area. You add or take away boards to change the speed and direction of the water flow. The first time we visited my mom was not watching closely enough and Princess A half fell in and had to get a new shirt to wear. Princess A ran over here while Princess G kept playing with the water, she was racing rubber duckies.
Soon Princess A enticed her sister to join her in pushing the pegs back and forth.

Next we went to play on the stage area. Princess G liked pressing the buttons to play the sound effects, thunder, music, applause and such.

Princess A put on a show as Snow White.

Princess G found the train table and stayed for a while.
The girls then wanted to play in the toddler area. The split pea were a hit with Princess G.

They both like going up the walkway to play in the light house.

Princess A even squeezed into the rocking boat. Right before we left Princess G decided to collect some food,
which Princess A packed up and delivered!

We have a few Children's museums within driving distance and I have to say this one is my favorite.

Birthday Cupcakes at School

The Friday after Princess A's birthday I brought cupcakes to school. The teacher asked me to come the last 20 minutes of class. She got to stand in front of the class while they sang a birthday song. She got to wear one of her 'twirly' flower girls dress she got for her birthday. It left glitter everywhere! Then we handed out cupcakes to all the kids in her class. For these cupcakes I did all of the flowers the same to avoid any arguments. They all loved the cupcakes but a few did not want any frosting. Princess G was in charge of napkins and was very excited. I offered cupcakes to the teacher and the other adults and at first they passed but after they saw them they each wanted one. I guess they must of looked pretty good.

Baby Einstein World Music Review

My girls have always been fans of Baby Einstein and the Little Einsteins and this new DVD is no exception. The music is so much fun. The girls really thought it was neat that the maracas on the Baby Einstein World Music DVD were the same ones that we have. This is the second Baby Einstein DVD that has one of our toys in it. We also received a CD which the girls have been playing over and over. They love dancing to the music and have been dressing up and having shows for Mommy and Daddy. The girls definitely enjoyed the DVD and had even more fun when I got out their instruments to play along with the DVD. The music CD was the biggest hit. My best friend from high school is due next month and I will be including the a Baby Einstein World Music DVD in the package I will be sending her. My girls are a little older than babies (they are 3 and 6 ears old) but the Baby Einstein World Music DVD and especially the CD were big hits!
Baby Einstein World Music DVD launches on March 31 so pick up a copy then!!

Thank you Mom Central for this review opportunity.

LISTERINE® TOTAL CARE Review

I have never been one for mouthwashes but I am diligent about the care of my teeth. I brush twice a day and floss at least every other day (it is my New Year's Resolution.) Until now that was my dental health care routine. LISTERINE® TOTAL CARE has now been added. After brushing my teeth I swish the LISTERINE® TOTAL CARE in my mouth for about 30 seconds before spitting it out. I then have to remember not to eat or drink for 30 minutes (the eating is easy but I do forget and sometimes take a sip before the time is up.) My husband is a huge proponent of mouthwash. He is currently using the LISTERINE® Tooth Defense. I had him try the LISTERINE® TOTAL CARE and he really likes it. He plans on switching once he uses up the last of his LISTERINE® Tooth Defense.

The new LISTERINE® TOTAL CARE, Anticavity Fluoride Mouthwash, is the only fluoride mouthwash that contains six benefits in one:

• Helping to prevent cavities
• Restoring enamel
• Strengthening teeth
• Killing bad breath germs
• Freshening breath
• Fighting unsightly plaque above the gum line

Thank you Mom Central for this review opportunity.

SKOY Cloth Review

A little over a month and a half ago I was sent a package of SKOY cloths to try. My husband does most of the heavy cleaning so I gave them to him. Growing up my mom never used paper towels so I didn't start using them until I got married. My darling husband uses so many paper towels, he buys the big package at Costco. After waiting a week for him to use the cloths I pulled out a SKOY cloth and tried it myself. I loved it! I followed the directions and wet the towel before use, I then cleaned the counters and kitchen table.The SKOY cloth is a cross between a great sponge and paper towel. When it gets a little grungy I run it through the dishwasher or the washing machine. Between washing I also make sure it is damp and microwave it for a minute to kill and bacteria. I also liked that since it is much thinner than a sponge it dried much faster. The colors are so pretty and after using a SKOY cloth everyday it still looks and works great. SKOY can also save you money according to their website "Using a SKOY cloth is equivalent to using 15 rolls of paper towels in an average home. With the high cost of paper towels, at least $2 a roll, SKOY cloth is the obvious choice for your wallet and the environment." I will say this my households paper towel use has gone down significantly. I can't recall actually using a paper towel for myself in the last month. I have even converted my husband to using the SKOY cloth instead of paper towel most of the time, he still uses the paper towel for the toilet. I love my SKOY and highly recommend it because it works great, will save you money and lastly it is better for the environment (the cloths are biodegradable)!

The Rest of Princess A's Birthday

After we left the Wolf Lodge Princess A wanted to go our favorite Japanese restaurant where we used to live. We started going to the restaurant when Princess A was less than 9 months old. We used to go so often that when we showed up they brought out a plate of cucumber slices and tofu cubes for her to snack on. I think the place was sold or at least the lady who was always there is gone. The new lady is not as friendly and never remembers us. Princess A always wants a bowl of miso soup to have all by herself. Princess A also loves the California rolls but we forgot to ask for it without the roe so I had to bite off all the roe before she would eat them. Princess G also loves the food but she likes the teriyaki chicken and the salad the best. She has never been a huge fan of tofu unlike Princess A who can just eat it plain. They both also ate lots and lots of rice!

Next we went for a walk around the lake. It was a little cold so we just climbed up a small hill. Princess A and her sister sort of raced to the top, but Princess A didn't want to drop her lollipop so it was a kind of fast walk.

Even though it was very cold it was so clear and beautiful.
Princess G decided that Daddy was great as a wind breaker and hid behind him.
All in all a great birthday. We just had her birthday with her friends yesterday and she says that she had a great birthday. What more could a Mommy ask for!

CozyCare Cape Review

I saw the CozyCare Cape on a few blogs and thought it would be great for my daughter to wear for swim practice. The original purpose is for a mom to wear it while giving her baby or toddler a bath. The towel has an opening for the head so the mom or dad can place it around their neck and have the hands free to hold a wet squirmy baby. The cape has a water proof area in the middle of the cape to keep the parent dry. Besides keeping the parent dry, once bath time is over you use the cape as the baby's towel and dry them off. Instead of using it that way I thought Princess G could wear it into the pool area before swim practice. When we got to swim practice Princess A really wanted to try it and she loved it. (She loves it so much her sister has yet to have a chance to try it out.) I did put it on backward and inside out. That way most of the towel was on her back and the waterproof area was on the outside. She loved it! I forgot to take a picture but she also liked the the matching CozyCare Cap. It was great to soak up the water in her hair and believe me her hair soaks up a lot of water which then drips down her back and makes her clothes so wet. I folded her hair up on top of her head and put the cap on. Her hair was not as wet and the wet spot on the back of her dress was much smaller than usual.The CozyCare Cape worked so well that when we went to the Wolf Lodge for Princess A's birthday that is what she wore from our hotel room to the water slides area and back. Let me also say it was much easier to put on (just place her head through the opening) than the bathrobe Princess G wore. The robe was fine when she was dry but once she was wet it was hard to get her little arms in the sleeves. The CozyCare Cape would be great to keep mom or dad dry when washing baby and then to dry off your bundle of joy. The great thing is once your baby is not a baby you could use it like I did for a swim cover-up.
I also saw on Spa Time some very cool CozyCare Mats. One side is terry cloth and the other is darling designer fabric (the Chic design is my favorite). The best part is that there is a third layer in between that is waterproof. I could of used one of these the few times I was trying to clear up diaper rash and let the girls go diaper less. I bet it would also be great if you were trying elimination communication (diaper less all the time.)

Searching For Leprechauns all Day

The princesses spent all day yesterday trying to catch a leprechaun. At school a leprechaun knocked over some chairs, made some messes and left chocolate gold coins for them to eat. On the way home Princess A asked me if a leprechaun was at our house. When we pulled in the garage Princess A pointed out a cereal box knocked over that the leprechaun must be here. She searched the house and found evidence (small messes that Princess G made while she was at school) that a leprechaun was here. She decided that we have to catch him. First they left out pretty things, and then green kisses to entice the leprechaun.
The princesses left out three green kisses and one of them went missing. (I think leprechaun Princess G ate it.) Then Princess A left the kiss on a pretty picture to make it even more enticing! The girls then set up traps all over the house. Next they pretended to be asleep, searched the house and 'heard' footsteps on the stairs.

Since none of the ideas worked Princess A called my Mom (she is half Irish) and left a message asking her how to catch a leprechaun. Nana called around bedtime and told them. First you have to give them an Irish name, call out their name, clap three times and turn around very fast. If you are lucky you will see a streak of green as they run away. After that phone call Princess A tried it over and over. (That tricky leprechaun was just too fast!)

Princess A suggested reading Clever Tom and the Leprechaun to get the leprechaun to come out. Her plan is to get the leprechaun to give her all his gold and then she would become his mother so he would be nice and stop being so tricky.

Wordless Wednesday: Hunting for Leprechauns

The girls set up this trap to catch the tricky leprechaun running around our house.

Princess A's Birthday

Princess A did not have school on her birthday so the day before we drove to the Wolf Lodge as soon as she got out of school. We went to the Wolf Lodge for my birthday last year and the girls wanted to go again, Princess A's birthday seemed the perfect excuse. As soon as we got there we changed and went on the water slides. After awhile everyone was hungry so we decided to try out the restaurant.

I ordered a buffalo cheese burger which was pretty good.

Princess A signed up for their kid club the last time we went so she had a postcard for a free meal that came in the mail not too long ago. They also gave her a cupcake and sang her a birthday song. The song was cute but the cupcake was not good. The frosting was alright but I think the cupcake had been frozen and was very old and dry.

We went back to the water slides before finally heading off to bed!

The next morning it was time for gifts!!!

Her favorite gift was the Wedding Girl Cinderella.

She didn't think we were going to get it so she was very surprised.

Princess A also wanted 'flower girl dresses that twirl'. I got her two very fancy dresses that both twirl!
She told me two days before her birthday that the dresses were what she wanted the most for her birthday (she had given up on the Wedding Girl Cinderella), luckily I had already bought them!

Next Princess G got to open her gifts, Mulan and a dress.
(We always get a small gift for the non-birthday girl.)

Then Princess G gave Princess A the gift she picked out, Silvermist (a friend of Tinkerbell)Princess A also got shiny new shoes, she needs to grow a little bit before they fit.
Next it was time for cupcakes, I had hidden them so when I pulled them out she was very surprised. We found out later that her birthday wish was for Wedding Girl Cinderella, which she had just opened a few minutes earlier.

We went on the water slides some more before we decided it was time to go.

Princess A held her favorite present in her arms to make sure we didn't forget it and so she could keep looking at Cinderella. Princess G is wearing her new dress. As this was Princess A birthday we did not go straight home but I will post the rest later.

Norton Online Family Review

Norton, a well known company in Internet Safety Products, has a new product geared toward families, Norton Family Online. Norton Family Online is an online system that helps parents monitor, block, connect, set time limits and so much more for their kids on the Internet.

Key Norton Online Family features include:

• Simple, One-Time Set Up: Create an account online and customize each family member's profile based on age and maturity level.
• Easy to Use and Access: Check a child's activity or modify a child's profile, preferences, or time allotment anytime and anywhere using any Internet-connected device.
• Clear Reporting: All activities are reported in chronological order and only show the Web sites a child intended to visit - eliminating all the extra URLs, like ads, from Web sites.
• Helpful Search Insight: Easily view what words and phrases a child uses to search and where those searches lead online.
• Convenient Web Site Control: Control the Web content that flows into the home by prohibiting more than 40 topic categories.
• Secured Personal Information: Track, report and prevent personal information that a child may purposely or accidentally try to send via e-mail, IM or social networking site.
• Access to Social Network Information: Monitor activity on social networks like Facebook and MySpace with the ability to see how kids represent themselves, when they login and how often.
• Real-time Messaging: Built-in messaging allows parents to have real-time discussions with children about activities and better understand their intentions when visiting a Web site.
• True Transparency: Children are able to view the "house rules" they established with parents at any time and are notified when Norton Online Family is active, so there is no "stealth" mode.
• Custom Alerts: Parents can customize e-mail alerts to address urgent events so they know immediately when a child has reached a time limit or visited a blocked site, etc.
• Useful Time Management: An easy-to-use time management feature that - if parents find it necessary - gives each child a "curfew" that will limit computer usage

Now the Princesses are not that active on the Internet yet. Princess G does not even use the computer but Princess A does. She does not surf the web at all, I pull up the pages she is allowed to use (Polly Pocket, Playhouse Disney, PBS Sprout, JumpStart and Shidonni.) A few times she has wandered off those sites so monitoring that would be nice. The feature I like the best is the Time Management. Right now I set a timer when she gets on the computer but a few times I have been helping Princess G and did not hear the timer or I simply forget to set the timer. It would be very nice to have the time Princess A is on the computer recorded. I can easily see that the other features will become more relevant as the girls get older. Also you can customise for each family member so you can block sites for your 9 year old that your 15 year old is allowed to view. They even have a tamper report in case your kids are very savvy and attempt to get around Norton Online Family.

Current by Discover Card

My girls are a little to little for an allowance though a few of their friends already get an allowance. I never got an allowance but when the girls are older the Current by Discover Card will be a great way to give them an allowance so they can learn to be fiscally responsible without the danger of credit cards. The Current by Discover Card is a debit card that the parents allot funds to. You can add funds daily, weekly or monthly. It would be nice not trying to remember bring home the exact amount to hand over for an allowance. Since the Current by Discover Card is a debit card when your child uses of the funds they can't make any more purchases so unlike a credit card they can't go over the limit, a great way to teach them to budget. The card is geared for 13 to 18 year olds so it will be awhile until the Princesses are old enough. I hope the Current by Discover Card is still around and it will be interesting to see how it will change in the next 8 or so years.

Happy Birthday Princess A!!!

My baby is now 6 years old!!!!

Here she is with her wish come true on her birthday morning.

(She wished for the Wedding girl Cinderella when she blew out the birthday candles, which I might add was after she opened the gift! What a cutie!!)

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Princess G stayed home with Daddy (he took the day off) for his birthday while Princess A and I went to school.
As soon as we got home it was time to open Daddy's presents.

I really picked up four gifts for him but I left the gift bags out and the girls created many more gifts. I got him new running shoes, dress shirt, polo shirt and headphones. The girls also gave him cards, books they made and some pictures.

They also wrapped up a box of Fruity Pebbles.

Then we made birthday cupcakes for Daddy.

They picked pink frosting and heart sprinkles.

They did all of the decorating themselves, I did not help this time at all.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY!!!!!

Of course his two little princesses helped him blow out the candles.

I Don't Want to Miss...PSA contest!‏

Every fall I get the princesses Flu vaccinations. Two years ago Princess A figured out that we must be at the Doctor's office for a shot and started to cry before we even got out of the car. She cried softly in the waiting room and back to the examination room. The nurse gave her the shot. She looked up with amazement, grabbed her arm at the location of the shot and said "Is that it?" Now they both happily get flu vaccinations every year. This Fall Princess A will be six years old. Under the new CDC guidelines all children from 6 month to 18 years old should receive a flu vaccination (the old recommendation was 6 months to 5 years old.) I would of scheduled her for a vaccination even with the old recommendation. To spread the word PSA is having a video contest.

The heart of the program is a PSA contest in which teens can submit a short
45-60 second video entry to IDontWantToMiss.com, sharing what they most don't want to miss out on and why that makes flu prevention important. What a fun, creative challenge for our teens and their friends. The winning contestant will win an
acoustic concert from former American Idol finalist Brooke White at his/her school! The second place winner will receive a guitar autographed by Brooke White herself, and three runners-up will win autographed photos.

I just wish Princess A was old enough to enter (well maybe not, I can wait a few years for her to be a teenager.) If you know a teenager help them make a quick video and they might win and at the same time help other teens become aware of the recommendation to get a flu vaccination. I made a quick video of the princesses for a hand washing video last year and they ended up winning 1st runner-up. You can't win if you don't enter. Hurry because the contest ends March 11.

Slumdog Millionaire

Monday is my husband's birthday so to celebrate he wanted to go to the movies. Only the third movie we have seen with out kids in six years. We both wanted to see Slumdog Millionaire. It was wonderful!!! I can see why it won so many awards. The movie was moving, fun, touching and what else can I say well worth the price of the movie ticket and a babysitter for three hours. The movie is about a young man whom grew up in the slums of Mumbai and is now a contestant of the Indian version of Who wants to be a Millionaire? He is accused of cheating but through a series of flashback you learn about his life and how he knew each answer. Very, very good.

Sundaes!!!

Princess A wanted a 'real' sundae for dessert. For her that meant Mocha Almond Fudge ice cream, whipped cream and chocolate syrup.
Of course Princess G wanted the same but "with the marshmallow ice cream" (Rocky Road.)

She just wanted to have a bite instead of Mommy taking a picture, she wouldn't turn her head but at least she smiled.

Counting Pennies

Princess A wanted to count the money in her piggy bank. I really did not want to touch all that change but I agreed. Hey she is cute and hard to resist.

First we got an old magazine as I did not want them all over my floor. Then she sorted the coins into different piles. Next we made stacks of 10 coins each. We counted the stacks and found that she has $7.82.

Princess A then said "I must have more money than you Mommy!" She also told me what she wants to buy with all of her money. "I want to buy a Wedding Cinderella!" (She saw one at Toy's R Us on our new toy just because adventure last month.)Of course Princess G also wanted her change counted.

She had $3.57.

I messed up when we started to put the change back. I started to put Princess G's change in her sister's Piggy bank instead of her Hippo bank. Luckily I knew how much change and which kind so I just shook it out of the Piggy.
The funny thing was the next day Princess G was given homework to count pennies and nickels.

Disney On Ice

Back in November of 2007 we took the girls to see Disney on Ice presents Princess Wishes. To say they were mesmerized is an understatement. They both had so much fun and even Princess G who was not even 2 1/2 at the time watched the whole show. She did change her viewing location a few times, from her own seat, Daddy's lap and Mommy's. During intermission Daddy couldn't resist getting them each a souvenir. Princess A picked Cinderella (her favorite) and Princess G picked out Belle (her second favorite since Aurora was not available.)

Can you believe how little she looked just over a year ago? She is so big now.

We were really looking forward to going again. The girls started asking around Halloween "When are we going to the Princess Ice Show?" They even asked last week when we went to the Thomas the Train show since it was at the same location. (Dear Disney on Ice: If you change your mind and come here I know at least 4 seats that will be snatched up!!)

This was right after the show.

My girls and I loved the show (Daddy liked it too) and I would recommend it to everyone. In fact I had a whole group of Moms and we were going to go in November of last year but Disney on Ice didn't come. Check the list of cities below or for more cities click here.

Yo-Plus‏ Review and Giveaway

Update with Winners: Congrats Beth, Tiffani, and Sandy. The winners have been sent an email an have 72 hours to respond with their addresses.

I love Yoplait® Thick & Creamy and is the yogurt I mostly eat. I had not tried the Yo-Plus™ before and was not sure what to expect. While Princess A was a school Princess G saw it in the refrigerator and wanted to try it. We both loved it. I like that it is a thick yogurt (not as thick as Yoplait® Thick & Creamy®) but thicker than some other yogurts I have tried. I liked that the taste was not too strong or super sugary. The yogurt had a very slight sour taste at the end that loved. When Princess A got home for school Princess G told her all about the new yummy yogurt (Yo-Plus™) and wanted to share one with her sister. I open one up and between the two of them they almost licked the cup, well almost I stopped them. I know we will be getting some more. Now don't take my word for it click here for a $1.00 off coupon or even better three of you could win a prize pack with a coupon for a free package of Yo-Plus. The prize pack includes a free 4-pack of Yo-Plus yogurt coupon, Yoplait cooler tote bag, water bottle and a nutrition journal. The tote is so big I have been using it to carry the towels for the girls' swim lesson (with freezing temp around here I won't need the tote to insulate anything for months.)

Now what you really want to know how to win!!

District Reception for PTA Reflections

We arrived late but before the District PTA Reflections Art reception started.

Princess A was so excited to go up on stage. She was concentrating so hard on what was being said I never got a picture of her looking at the camera.

She did not advance to the next level but she did receive a certificate and a new ribbon. They had a many more schools to go through so we left before the cake.

She was so proud that she got this far, there was only one other kindergartner from her school and only a few in the district.

She is already thinking about what she wants to do next year.

She is thinking of entering even more categories.
