Zonderkidz Faith Builders Bible Review

This weeks review is from Zonderkidz. We are reviewing the Faith Builders Bible. The Faith Builders Bible sells for about $24.99. Its a fairly priced kids bible and has some super cool kid friendly features. It is a hard back bible so its probably a little more durable than a leather bound. It has a cool brick building theme to it. Reminds me of Lego's. You get 24 full color pages of illustrations. This is a NIrV,  for those of you un-familiar it is the New International Reader's Version of the Bible. It comes in a 9 point font which is a bigger font than most Bibles come in. 
The girls stalked the door all morning for the UPS man. They were very excited when they pulled it out of the box it just looks cool. I usually buy leather bound bibles. But I was surprised at how happy I was with the hard back for a kid.  It feels kid tough and I like that, I want the girls to handle it a lot and that means it needs to be durable. The cover has building blocks all over it and the theme continues throughout the Bible. If you have little builder this is going to be the Bible for them.
At the beginning it has building with books of the Bible. This teaches kids that each book of the Bible is like a layer and it gives kids a task to help them remember the order of the books. I had never thought to explain it to my girls that way. It actually uses colored pictures of the building blocks to demonstrate the layers or books of the bible.  
Next I want to mention Building Block Verses You will find these through out the Bible. These are great memory verses above each verse is a little lesson that goes along with it. Super helpful for younger kids. We also discovered a small dictionary in the back its only about 5 pages long but it has a lot of words in it that your child might not know as they are reading through the Bible. We also found a list of Bible stories and get this it tells what book they are in so finding them is easy. 
Hotrod girl wants me to mention the font. She says she prefers the bigger print to that of the small print in her other Bible. She tells me it makes it easier to read and helps her to keep her place. She also likes how it helps her learn the order of the Books of the Bible.  Snoopy would like me to talk about the colors. She loves the design on the cover and the "super cool" pictures that are throughout the bible. She says the pictures make it fun and helps her to remember the story and the verse.  They took it to Sunday school this past Sunday and it was the talk of the class.  Zonderkidz has some really great items they never seem to disappoint me. I would love for everyone to read what the other crew reviewers have to say about the Faith Builders Bible.

Closer to Nature Orthodontic Pacifiers

Both of the girls were very picky on what pacifier they used.  We had a bunch of them laying around

pictures provided by tommee tippee.

that they did not like.  Tommee tippee was one that my youngest preferred. tommee tippee is announcing its new pacifier that is now available at Target, Babies R Us, and Buy Buy Baby. The new Pacifier set sells for about $6.99. The new pacifier has some great new features that I know my girls would have loved.
The new pacifiers are similar to tommee tippee's signature bottle line and use a nipple that is similar to the Mother's breast. They are specially designed for baby acceptance from the first attempt. They feature a symmetrical orthodontic shape and a traditional shield style with fun modern designs.  tommee tippee pacifiers are made from BPA and phthalate-free silicone. They are available in three sizes 0-3 months, 0-6 months an 6-18 months. The pacifiers come in both boy and girl colors and re dishwasher/sterilizer safe.

I received both a boy color and a girl color, I love the different sizes my girls used to gag on the pacifier if they were too big.  They are equally adorable I love how soft the nipple is it feels softer than some of the ones he girls had. The curved shape would fit baby's face comfortably and I love that the ring lays flat so that its not bulky.

Disclaimer: I received a couple sets of Pacifiers from tommee tippee free of charge in order to test this product for the review. All opinions are my own or that of my Kids

Thera Pearl

Over the last 5 years my girls have known there share of boo boos. We have been very lucky to only have minor bumps and scrapes and nothing serious. Those minor bumps and scrapes still hurt though and I have found a great product to make those minor bumps and scrapes feel better. Children's Pals by the Threa Pearl company http://www.therapearl.com/products/pals-for-kids/ 


Children's Pals sell for $5.99 and I would love to have one of each. There is Ping the Panda, Buddy the puppy, Ribbit the frog, and Pearly the Pig. All four are just adorable we were given the opportunity to try out Ribbit the frog. He is a cute little green frog that measures 3.75 in x .75 in x 5.5 in he fits in the palm of the girls hand quite nicely. Just chill a Pal in the fridge or freezer or you can pop it in the microwave. Then apply the cold or heat for up to 20 minutes. Of course you need to be careful that you don't get it too hot. Please use caution and common sense when using a Pal. Children's Pals have won a Parent Tested-Parent Approved award for quality and appeal. They were tested by and independent lab and verified that there are no heavy metals, VOCs or BPAs. Pals are safe hypoallergenic and reusable. 

We got Ribbit in the mail last week and right away I stuck him in the fridge. It gets cold quite quickly and I love that i can put it in the fridge or freezer. I also love that I can heat him up a bit if we need a heat pack for some reason  The girls played with him for a while testing him out on various areas where they might get a boo boo. This weekend Snoopy stepped on a bee at park and we got the chance to use him for real. He worked very well I carried it in our lunch bag with my frozen water bottle to keep it cold. Yes I could have just stuck my frozen water bottle on the sting but that would not have been as fun or as flexible as a Pal. This cute little frog had her smiling in minutes.  Ribbit is a great little guy and we have used him on everything from scrapes and bruises to itchy mosquito bites.  Ribbit has become a great friend and we plan to keep him around for as long as we can.

. 




The Best part about Children's Pals: 
They are reusable
Can be use for Hot or Cold
The Price is fair.
They my girls feel better when they get a Boo Boo and that is priceless.

SoapTime

Everyone knows when kids get sick the hole house ends up getting sick. The best way to prevent a illness is proper hand washing. With cold and flue season in full swing. I thought there was no better time than now to show off a great new product called SoapTime! SoapTime uses a multimedia "Edutainment" experience of lights, music, and fun facts to keep kids at the sink for 20 seconds. the proper time to ensure clean hands. SoapTime's elephant, ABC and Earth shaped soap bottles snap onto the SoapTime smart Base. The Smart base provides 6 unique songs and factoids for each bottle, which play during its custom LED light shows. Sells for $16.95 for a 4 piece set you get 1 Smart Base 1 Elephant bottle, 1 ABC bottle, and 1 Earth shaped bottle. Each soap bottle is 8.4 oz.


You can click HERE to buy it at SoapTime's secure E-commerce site.
You can check out the SoapTime website http://mysoaptime.com has some really great stuff and you can even listen to some demos of the SoapTime smart base.

I love SoapTime its adorable and it works!  SoapTime gets my girls to wash there hands.We have been using it for about two weeks now and we have use three bottles of soap. Yup we have really really clean hands in our house. The girls love this thing so much they are even singing along with the songs. Check out the video below of the HotRod Princess and Snoopy singing along as she washed up before bed.

The Base has some cool fun lights the girls like to wash there hands in the dark because they think the lights are cool. The lights show up really well in the light too. The volume is great, Its loud enough for them to hear it well but not so loud that it runs you out of the bathroom. The Smart base runs on 3 AAA batteries and is still going strong after 2 weeks and three bottles of soap. Led lights help keep the batteries going stronger longer.
All the bottle shapes are nice but the girls have taken to the elephant for some reason could be the cute elephant head. The soap doesn't have much of a smell to me and I like that, I hate heavy scented soap. All of the SoapTime soap is Non-Toxic and Non-Antibacterial. The Elephants soap is beautiful purple colored and has a very light lavender scent. The ABC soap is orange in color and has a light citrus scent. The Earth bottle is a nice shade of green and has a light apple scent. I love the apple scent the most the girls don't seem to have a scent preference.

I thought everyone might like to see what SoapTime looks like in the dark so I did a video with the three different bottles. I played one audio from each of the bottles. The earth shaped bottle was first, the ABC bottle was second, and the elephant bottle was last playing my daughters new favorite tune.

 I can see SoapTime sticking around our bathroom for a long time to come.

Lebert Fitness Equalizer

photo from Lebert website

I got the opportunity to try out another great work out product a couple months a go. I wanted to really test this one out so I took a little extra time to work with it and see what it could do for me.  Lets get the technical stuff out of the way first. 

Each Equalizer bar weigh about 8 pounds. The dimensions are 28-1/2 inches high by 25 inches wide and it has been tested to support up to 400 pounds of body weight. The Equalizers can easily be stacked together, taking up little storage space.
The package I received  included 2 Equalizer Bars, Beginner/Intermediate Workout DVD with Marc Lebert and Laminated Poster. It sells for $114.99 at http://www.lebertfitness.com/Products/LebertEqualizer/Home.aspx

This is what the company says about the Equalizer:
Simplify your exercise routine, and conquer your fitness goals with the LEBERT EQUALIZER Total Body Strengthener™.   The Lebert Equalizer™ is a simple, portable, yet multi-purpose and versatile piece of strength training equipment that works arms, chest, back and core muscles like no other can, using your own body weight as resistance.  Created by personal trainer and Taekwondo Black Belt, Marc Lebert, the Equalizer™ is now being used by athletes of all levels and ages, in bootcamps, group fitness, sports conditioning classes, martial arts clubs and home gyms everywhere.Participants use their own body weight as resistance and decide what level is right for them by "self-spotting". Self-spotting means the legs can be used to assist the user to perform exercises and/or when they cannot continue an exercise. A simple modification (usually leg placement) can allow for the set to be extended.

With the ability to easily add more repetitions (without having to stop and change a pin in a machine or have someone helping) this product becomes very versatile. This simple versatility allows the user full control over the amount of body-weight used for a given exercise. The result is greater muscle endurance and strength. 

Now that the technical stuff out of the way hears How I feel about the Lebert Equalizer. 

I Like it! this thing is so great for something so simple It works wonders. When I opened the box I had to laugh I thought to my self how are two bars going to help me get in shape. I assembled the two Equalizer bars took me all of 10 min including the time it took me to chase Snoopy down when she stole the Allen wrench from me. Its super easy to assemble you don't really even need the directions to figure it out. I put in the Beginner/Intermediate workout DVD in and sat down to watch it. It seemed too simple to do me any good. I can now admit I am not in as good of shape as I thought I was. The beginner/intermediate workout kicked my but My upper body was so sore the next morning that I just had to do it again. I have since gained strength and have modified my work outs to be harder and have added more reps but it does still give me a great workout and allows me to change up my daily workout with out too much fuss. I love that I can do the Equalizer workout in my own living room there is no need to drag my self to the gym or pay gym fees something a mom on a budget is excited about.  It fits in the closet or under my bed so its out of the way when I am not using it. Its a quality built piece of equipment they did not skimp. It has a great solid feel, even when I am doing reverse crunches I feel safe. The Lebert Equalizer has given me a great work out and a good bang for my buck.

Here are some great photos from the Lebert site of my favorite Equalizer Exercises.

Wet Ones Sticky Situations Facebook Contest

Like most moms my kids can make one heck of a mess. I have learned over the years to just laugh at the hole mess and take some pictures because they don't stay little forever and I will cherish the memory later. 

Wet Ones is giving us parents the opportunity to share all of the Sticky Situations we have found ourselves in and our great tips on how to deal with the mess through their Facebook Contest! You simply log on and share your Sticky Situation and tips, and you can be entered to win an ipad mini or six Flags tickets!. It only takes a couple minutes to enter I will even give you the link so you don't have to look for it.

I thought it only fair that I share my Sticky situation and it was all my fault. 

When I was nearing the end of my pregnancy with my second daughter snoopy. I though It would be a great idea to let the Hotrod Princess who was 1 1/2 at the time paint my belly/her baby sister. I have no idea why I thought this was a good idea. I probably saw it on one of those pregnancy shows. I sat down on the floor and gave her a paint brush and a plate with washable paint on it. She of course was all excited about painting her baby sister. She spent about 20 minuted painting my belly. Ok I admit it, I think I may have dosed off a little at one point because paint covered both of us the floor and even the wall in the hall way. It took forever to get the paint off the wall and to get us both washed up. I think I laughed the entire time I was cleaning up the mess but its a great memory I will always have. My Great tip if you are going to do belly painting Put plastic on the beige carpet first. and DONT FALL ASLEEP!

Obol The Original Crispy Bowl

A pict of it in the box because she
says the box is important.

With two kids, someone in my house is always eating something. The Obol is quite possibly the best bowl in the world. Well at least for my family it is. Obol is The Original Crispy Bowl. With an Obol you will never eat soggy cereal again. The Obol is the most unique bowl I have ever seen. It has two sections: one down low for your milk and another up higher for your cereal with a little opening so you can swoop some cereal down into the milk before you scoop it out to eat it. It's called the Swoop n Scoop and the girls love it. You can check out the Obol here http://www.obol.co. They have them at every Brookstone store and at Brookstone.com.  There are two sizes of Obol. The original Obol is 8 in and holds 1 1/2 cups in the top and 2 cups in the bottom. Price for the Obol Original is $19.99. It comes in white, green, red, blue, orange and pink. Then there is the new Obol Jr. it is 7 in and holds 1 cup in the top and 1 cup in the bottom. Price for the Obol Jr. is $10.99. It comes in white, green, red, blue and purple. They also have a cool looking spoon called the Spoonit, and it has a ball shape on the handle and is designed for a steady grip and less drip reservoir and an angled tip. It sells for $6.99. The Obol and the Spoonit comes in some great colors too- green, red, blue, and purple and white. 

I received both the Original Obol and the Obol Jr. and a Spoonit to try out this week. These are some quality made bowls they are not flimsy in any way. They do have a little bit of weight to them but they are not  super heavy they just feel solidly made. I love the cool shape and they just look fun. Obol's unique shape is super easy to hold. They have a no slip grip on the under side of the bowl to help prevent drops. I love the that my cereal doesn't get soggy when one of the girls needs something in the middle of eating. It's not just good for cereal either. The girls have eaten vegetables in the top and dip in the bottom. Chips and salsa, Oreo's and milk offer no problem getting my hand in the bowl to dip them in milk. I can even use it to hold two different snacks at once while the girls are watching a movie.  Snoopy can have her celery in the top, and the Hot Rod princess can have her grapes in the bottom, and mom only has one bowl to wash. They are top rack dishwasher safe- a big plus for those of you that have a dishwasher. I love that the lower part is deep so it's easier for little ones to scoop without sloshing milk all over.  The girls love it as you can probably tell from the pictures. They have argued over who gets to use which bowl since I took them out of the box.  The colors they are bright, fun and beautiful.  The smaller one does stack inside the larger one fairly well. But I am not sure how well two or three of the same size will stack because we don't have two Obols of the same size to test it out. We have the 8 in Obol and the 7 in Obol. I would love to get another 7in Obol so that I have one to use. Another Spoonit would be great so they don't argue over it all the time.

See the great Spoonit shape

The Spoonit is cool with its unique round handle. Its easy to grip and the curved reservoir keeps the milk, yogurt, soup etc. where it belongs. I think the Spoonit would be great for people like my mom who suffer from arthritis because it's very easy to hold on to. The girls both love the spoonit the Hot Rod Princess would like them to make a kid size Spoonit. Because this one is a little too big for her kid size hand and mouth. They did think it was cool and still enjoy eating with it even if it's a little big. I do think they take up a little more room in my kitchen drawer than the average spoon does, but for me it's not a big deal. 

Swoop and Scoop!

Did I mention that Obol Is made in the USA !
I love a great American Made Product. And its BPA Free!  http://www.obol.co

“Littlest Pet Shop” premiere Party

The new "Littlest Pet Shop " will premiere Saturday, November 10th at 11am ET on the Hub TV Network.  The other day Mom Select and the hub gave us the opportunity to Host a Littlest Pets Shop Premiere Party.

Here is a little bit about the show:
Its a half-hour animated comedy series that follows young Blythe and her father as they move into a big city apartment above the Littlest Pet Shop- an amazing day camp for pets of all kinds including a panda, gecko, and even a mongoose. But the real adventure begins when Blythe discovers she can miraculously talk with the animals! the pets may be small, but their big personalities often lead to uproarious pop music-inspired son and dance sequences. The Show has a rating of TV-Y

We started the party by making some fun snacks like Sunil's Magically Disappearing Trail Mix of course the kids made it disappear quickly. We played some super fun games but the kids were anxious to watch the show. So we put together the mask that were in the party pack and the kids sat down to watch. I have not seen kids sit this still and this quiet in a very long time. I can honestly say they enjoyed every minute of the show. They are all looking to watching the Littlest Pet Shop on the Hub on Saturday mornings.

Thank you Mom Select and Hub for providing us with the products and recipes used in our Premiere party. The Kids had Loads of fun and we are all looking forward the Littlest Pet Shop on the Hub.

The kids loved this little guitar its super easy to use touch the on button and it starts playing strum the guitar faster and the song play faster. Its got some cute songs on it that the kids already knew so they could sing along. They had a blast taking turns with it and seeing who could sing the song the fastest. It runs on 3AAA batteries they are included and so far we haven't had to change them. I love that its got volume control on the back Lo and HI. Hi is not as loud as I expected which is a good thing when the girls insist on playing it while I am trying to write this review.  It does not have raised strings the face of the guitar is completely smooth. No groves for gunk to get stuck in. Its simple enough that even the smaller kids enjoyed it. we did take off the strap for the little ones to be sure they did not get it tangled around there neck or other body part.

LeapFrog Tag Human Body Discovery Pack #LeapFrogTag #spon

                                                      

Thank you to LeapFrog for sponsoring this review.  For more information about the LeapFrog Tag Human Body Discovery Pack, please click hear to visit their website #LeapFrogTag #spon
.

This week I was given the opportunity to Review a product by LeapFrog. The Tag Human Body Discovery Pack. Before I get to that part of the review I want to explaining what the Tag Reading system in-case you haven't discovered this great learning tool. Tag is a reading system that brings stories to life with sound effects, the voices of there favorite characters, and exciting activities. The Tag system has a library of 60+ books, maps and more. The Tag system is designed to help guide your child on a reading adventure.

The Tag Human body Discover Pack Its a 5 piece set that brings learning fun about the human body and nutrition facts. You use the tag reader to bring the human body chart to life. It teaches all the amazing things that make up the human body and how different parts of the body work together. Its got a two sided interactive chart and game board. It reinforces learning through 300+ responses and over 40 activities. With an interactive growth chart and interactive glow in the dark stickers the possibilities are endless. The Tag Human Body Discovery Pack sells for $19.99 and you can click hear to find it on the Leapfrog site. Don't forget that the tag reader is required to use the Human Body Discovery Pack.

I gave the Hot Rod Princess a quick demonstration of how the tag system worked. She picked it up very quick and was excited to start exploring. I had to pry her away from it to get her to come eat dinner. Its always great to see your kids get excited to learn something new. I was amazed at how much information she has picked up from the Tag Human Body Discovery Pack. She really loved the skeletal system, she has walked around for two days no feeling the bones in our hands, feet, arms and legs even naming a few. She surprised her POP when she informed him that the bones in his fingers were called phalanges and that muscles made her hand open and close. She has spent a lot of time with it each morning and is now asking for more Tag books. Snoopy gets a kick out of hearing it talk and loves to sit next to the Hot Rod Princess while she is working. She loves the wash your hands song its quite catchy and we have begun singing and danging to it when we wash our hands. The tooth brushing song is the Hot Rod Princesses favorite song she likes to play it while she is brushing her teeth at night. I have to admit its a fun song.

The Tag Human body Discovery Pack is helping me to teach the girls about the Human body and good nutrition. I have to admit I love interactive learning products and so do the girls. The two sided interactive chart is cool. You can touch everything on it to learn something new. We had a great time exploring the human body and I even re learned a few things I had forgotten.  We set up the interactive growth chart and the girls took turns marking there height on it. Since they both celebrated there birthdays this week we got try out the Birthday stickers. The stickers are interactive so when you touch the birthday sticker the Tag reader say's This marks your height on your birthday and cheers the girls got a kick out of it. The Hot Rod Princess now wants to loose her first tooth just so she can put the interactive tooth sticker on the growth chart. The Human Body Discovery Pack comes with some other interactive stickers that the girls have really enjoyed. We love that it talks to you so its great for a little independent learning time.  I like the games because they help to reinforce what they have learned. But the girls like them because they are fun. Me and The Hot Rod Princess have a lot of fun with the Making healthy choices game. We even make games of our own using the Interactive stickers to see who can get the most bones and muscles right.

Leapfrog's Got a video available so you can see the Tag Human Body Discovery Pack in Action check it out its very cool.

With a bunch of kids piled around the table we played some Gutzy games had some snacks, and got the kids excited about going back to school. I started out by giving each one of the kids a Gutzy strap cover. I opened up all the Qutzy patches and put them in a big bowl in the middle of the table and we let the kids take turns picking out a Patch to put on there Gutzy strap. We had a few arguments over who got watch patch but once they found out they could take them off and on and trade them around they were excited. The kids ended up trading patches several time by the time they went home. They all left excited about heading back to school in a few weeks to show off there new Gutzy Gear. I even loved them and made some for my camera bag and now I want the Shady and beach bum Gutzy.

The Strap covers sell for about $9.99 and the Gutzys sell for about $4.99 and you get two in a pack. Not a bad price for something fun for your kids to do that they can use and change around all year long.  If you don't want to order your Gutzy Gear on line you can find them at Walmart, Target, K-mart, and Toys r us.

We received the materials for the Gutzy Gear party free of charge as part of a Mom Select Party Hosting Package. The kids had a great time Thanks Gutzy Gear and Mom Select!!!
