News Flash:  Melvin Beat out Sponge Bob!




Product Details

  • Reading level: Ages 4-8
  • Paperback: 32 pages
  • Publisher: National Center for Youth Issues (March 15, 2010)
  • Language: English
  • ISBN-10: 1931636745
  • ISBN-13: 978-1931636742
  • Product Dimensions: 8.8 x 8 x 0.3 inches


I was quite surprised that anything could beat out Sponge Bob Square Pants when it comes to my just turned seven year old but something did and it was educational and fun!  Most of us parents, if not all, battle our children to brush their teeth and I think it's because they don't understand the implications of it all.  I received a complimentary copy of Melvin the Magnificent Molar! book written by Julia Cook and Dr. Laura Jana via a posting from TwitterMoms.  Since I have two smaller children who need to brush with the seven year old's permanent teeth coming in, it was perfect timing.


The book with great illustrations by Allison Valentine provides a playful fun tale on the importance of brushing their teeth.  My favorite part was the connection of not brushing teeth and those teeth turning green.  I always tell Jamie (seven year old) if she doesn't brush, her teeth will turn green so it was just reinforced with this great book.  




I waited to read the book until the next morning while both girls were watching Sponge Bob and much to my surprise, both stopped watching and turned all attention to me!  They were really occupied with the story as well as the whimsical illustrations.  I would highly recommend this book to anyone with children to help them understand the importance of brushing, visiting the dentist and understanding the process our teeth go through from baby to permanent.  Delightfully entertaining!

Mompreneurs: Best of the Best Found on Twitter

I was tweeting when I thought about all the great mompreneurs I have connected with and wanted to focus this on a few great women who have had the fortitude, the intelligence, the ability to pursue a dream and so much more.  I hope you take a moment to visit these great women's sites and learn a little more about their products:



Chocolate & Pink Butterfly Embellished Taffeta DressCynthia at Adorable Baby Clothing - I did not "meet" Cynthia from Twitter as I was a repeat customer of hers prior to my blogging and tweeting.  Not only is Cynthia one hard working mom but she's also a grandmother to two adorable girls that she also watches while running her wonderful business of clothing for all occasions for children.  Cynthia has expanded since my first purchase and now carries so much more to include toys, gifts and baby shower items.  Cynthia provides the best customer service and is dedicated to her business and her customers.

Whether you need clothing for preemies or older children, she has you covered from formal wear to regular clothes.  The selections are outstanding and the ease of shopping online is my favorite feature.  I am one of those mothers who like to dress the two youngest ones alike in formal pictures and with the great selection at Adorable Baby Clothing, I can do that with such ease.  Shipping is quick and again, Cynthia strives to offer the very best to her customers.




Ros at Ficklets is also another wonderful mompreneur who has put in everything and more into her brilliant idea while raising a special needs child.  Ros created the idea of these adorable, fashionable eyewear charm huggers one night while sitting on her couch.  Her beautiful daughter, Gem, came in wearing her glasses when the idea of giving her a choice in her glasses popped in.  That idea led to this wonderful creation called Ficklets.

If you don't know what Ficklets are, they are inexpensive cute little charms that can be put on the template of your glasses.  Although they are marketed for children, I like some of the other ones and think they would look great on women's glasses too.  There are so many to choose from and due to the costs, your child can have more than one set without breaking the bank.  Ros cares deeply for others and assures she is there for her customers.  She does what it takes to ensure her business succeeds while always keeping her daughter in the forefront.




The ChristinaAmanda from Cutie Pa Tutus is another great mompreneur.  I don't know much about Amanda but do know that I was connected to her through Ros via Twitter.  I won an amazing sports tutu from her just by following her on Twitter.  She was amazing with allowing me to customize the tutu to my choice and it was of such great quality!  My girls fight over who gets to wear it!  Amanda is another example of the mompreneur spirit alive and well!

She started Cutie Pa Tutus in 2008 in Charleston, SC (hello neighbor as I'm in Georgia) out of a need to have a tutu for her daughter.  The rest is history as Cutie Pa Tutus is making a global hit!   She not only carries the most adorable, unique tutus, but she also has these high quality Super Hero Capes and more.  I've seen other advertised tutus and none look as great as the ones from Cutie Pa Tutus.




Texas RhinestonesSheena from Lizzie Lou Shoes is another great example of the mompreneur spirit.  Sheena created her idea and runs her business out of San Antonio, Texas (which is where we might be moving to).  As a proud mom and wife, she manages to be successful in expanding her Lizzie Lou Shoe line and if you haven't seen them, you must!  I won a pair, once again thanks to Ros, from introducing me to a Womentorz event on Twitter.  At first when I saw the price, I was like "no way!"  I have to tell you that these are not your ordinary cheap shoes you can pick up at Walmart or K-mart.  These are of high quality, beautiful and must haves!

My daughter, lucky her, won a pair and I really wished my feet were smaller as they are just too cute.  Sheena is also very customer focuses as are all the women I have featured.  For me, customer service is utmost important and I'm more likely to be a repeat customer if I'm connected to the owner.  Big business do not offer this type of customer service which is why I like the mompreneurs.

I hope you enjoyed reading this and if you have a moment, check out these great stores as they not only offer high quality products but they offer themselves!

A descendant of Atlantis, Sabine Tobias needs the map to decipher an ancient prophecy. What she doesn't need are the sparks flying between her and Max.

An expert in antiquities, Lady Alessandra della Giamatti arrives in Bath to excavate newly discovered Roman ruins-only to find herself caught in a web of evil intrigue by a blackmailer threatening to expose her scandalous past. The one man who can help her is Lord James "Black Jack" Pierson, a fellow member of the expedition and a sinfully handsome rogue whose tempting presence ignites a different sort of danger.

Jack has clashed with Alessandra in the past, so when she suddenly surrenders her body he can't help being suspicious. Is she a scheming temptress? Or is she truly a lady in trouble? As desire and deceptions swirl around them, Alessandra and Jack must find a way to win each other's trust. For if they don't work together to uncover a shocking truth, their enemy-and their own simmering passions-may destroy them and everything they cherish.

If you haven't found that perfect Mother's Day gift yet, you might want to check out Rue La La as they have great items at a fraction of the cost.  I'm a big fan of the sample sites and have posted in the past as I shop from them and love them!  I was skeptical at first on the real cost savings but every time I purchase something, I cross compare prices and the sample sites such as Rue La La really do offer bargains.  When the sale is live, you have to hurry as there are limited qualities and some you have to purchase on the spot as someone can buy it before you.  I bought my father-in-law a Tommy Bahama shirt for Christmas and saved a ton of money and he loved it!  I definitely recommend Rue La La.

Thanks to all those who entered!

If you are a regular reader to my blog, you know we have many children along with a grandchild along the way.  Our oldest, 21, is due 10/10/10 so we are completely excited.  I am at least as my husband is still trying to adjust to being a grandfather before he turns 40.  One of the most exciting times in preparing for a new baby is trying to choose the right cribs.  There are so many to choose from to meet any decor or taste.  She's still pondering what theme she will choose but she is also waiting to find out the baby's sex.  Luckily for her, she gets my youngest's hand me down crib.  When we bought it, we lived in Hawaii and if you know anything about living on an island, everything costs more to ship and the selection is far from generous.  I wished I had known about the CSN collection of stores that includes Baby Cribs Plus as they have everything!

Sorelle Amelia Elite 4-in-1  Convertible Crib in Oak Cider
 Stokke Sleepi Crib with Mattress  DaVinci Emily 4-in-1 Convertible Crib in Natural
With more than 600 cribs, 800 strollers, 1000 bedding sets and 200 car seats, you will find what you want!  Baby Cribs Plus also carries all the name brands that I've grown used to such as Britax, Pali, Maclaren and more.

Another feature I like about Baby Cribs Plus are the ideas they provide with their products.  Nursery room ideas are hard to come up with but they detail everything you need to create the magical world of love for your little one.

Girl Crib Bedding Sets
Unisex Crib Bedding Sets  Novelty Characters Crib Bedding

There is also a great link to an expecting parent's checklist full of things you will need along with safety tips and features to look for when picking your baby products.  If you aren't familiar with Baby Cribs Plus, their site is so easy to navigate around with products separated with their own pages, sales and promotions, best sellers in case you want to be trendy or in the know and browse by brand.   I wished I had known about this store when we lived in Hawaii!
The Giveaway:

One lucky reader will win a $100 Gift Certificate to any of CSN's 200+ online stores!  I'm jealous as I've been fortunate to review a prior product from CSN and it was of great quality and they have wonderful customer service.

My Most Triumphant Outlet Shopping Story

I love outlet stores and can't wait for any excuse to go there.  I used to shop for my business suits when I actually had to work in an office but now that I telecommute, I don't get that luxury.  When TwitterMoms and Gap Outlet offered up a new "Share Your Most Triumphant Outlet Shopping Story," I jumped.  You can find out more about it here.  With summer around the corner, we all could use some more clothes and why not save some money too?


My most triumphant outlet shopping story involved shopping for business suits.  I ended up finding three suits that would have retailed for over $700 but I paid $197 for all three!  It was a great experience and I was able to purchase shoes and jewelry with the money I saved.  At the end of the day, I spent $400~ and purchased three suits, three pairs of shoes and jewerly to match. When we lived in Hawaii, I bought many of my children's clothing at the local outlet store and saved over 70% on those purchases.  Why pay retail when the outlet stores carry all the great looks at a fraction of the costs?


More information on Gap Outlet and special savings for you:

Combi USA Bouncing Car Jumper Activity Center Review & Giveaway 5/25 CLOSED WINNER


CONGRATULATIONS TO....


TABIATHA!


An e-mail has just been sent and she has 48 hours to respond before another winner is chosen via random.org.


Thanks to all those who entered!
Combi USA

I can't imagine anything more thrilling and exciting than a baby.  I loved each time I was able to purchase items for my children and now I get to do it again for my first grand baby.  I'm already amazed at the great number of products available and the choices are nearly impossible to make.  I belong to Zulily which is a sample site dedicated to children and baby items.  Last week, there was a sale for Combi USA Activity Jumpers.  On the surface, that may not mean much or illicit much enthusiasm but when you see how adorable and unique these are, you will see what I'm talking about:




Isn't that the cutest thing ever?  
As soon as I saw it, I had to know more.  I always had the other boring (zzzzzz) jumpers that provided nothing more than the ability to let the baby jump.  The Combi Activity Jumper is shaped as a car and they don't stop there.  They are available in yellow, pink, red and black.  


The Review: 

I received a complimentary black Activity Jumper for this review and was even more impressed with the actual product.  Here are some of the features:

  • It's activated by two double A batteries that provides music, lights and sounds to stimulate a baby's senses.  One button activates while the other button is a light horn.  The sound is perfect and not overpowering as some toys are.  It's a perfect blend of activity for any baby.
  • The top portion has a locking feature to ensure it doesn't open up causing damage to the baby.  Once the Activity Jumper is put together, which was effortless and so easy, it will lock in place.  I'm not much for instructions but this was one of the easiest products I put together.
  • The removable and wipeable seat is made of a durable material that looks like leather and is coordinated with the color of the car.  It is absolutely adorable.
  • It's lightweight at only 5.2 pounds so it makes installation easy.
  • The extended front end provided me with extra security as I was always fearful my child would bump her head on the door frame but with the Combi USA Activity Jumper, I had none.
I found the Combi USA Jumper was of high quality, durable and was the safest activity jumper I've seen.  The car theme was highly imaginative and has all the right features to not only provide an activity for jumping but with the lights, sounds and music, it provides stimulation that they love.  
I definitely recommend this product!


About Combi:

Combi is a shortened word for "combination" referring to mother and child.  Combi USA, Inc., was established in 1989 and is a subsidiary of Combi Corporation.  Combi Corporation, established in 1961, is a Japan-based company that has years of experience with their products.  Combi has all the products you need for your baby such as:

  • Strollers
  • Car Seats
  • Travel Systems
  • High Chairs
  • Play Yards
  • Walkers
  • Bouncers/Rockers
  • Jumpers
  • Feeding BPA Free
  • Accessories



All-In-One Activity Walker:

I wanted to focus on the walkers as once again, Combi reached outside the norm and introduced car shaped walkers.  The All-In-One Activity Walker comes in a colorful blend or hues that provides a playful, stimulating experience.  The bounce feature can be locked to ensure safety, anti-skid pads, a steering wheel with lights and sounds, attached mirrors to create more fun and a removable hood for a snack/play tray.  As with the Jumper, the seat is wipeable.  Looks like my grand baby will have to have one of these too!


Every product that Combi carries has great functionality, concern for safety and is reasonably priced.  There wasn't one product that I looked at that I wouldn't want to purchase.  Combi's concern for safety is evident by their website.  They have a section devoted solely for safety notifications, warranty information and recall information.  This is so valuable to any parent to be able to go to one location for all safety and warranty information.  The care provided by Combi is clearly apparent and for me, is what I look for in a company.

One LUCKY reader will win their very own Combi Activity Jumper in the color of their choice!

It's Friday Follow again!  My in-laws are coming to visit today before hubby leaves for Kuwait on the 29th.  He'll be gone for a year with a hopeful two week visit home half way through.  It was sad this morning as I was explaining it to her and I told her he was going to fight the war.  She said, "it's okay, he's not going to ... you know.... that d word."  I, of course, reassured her and that was that!  Being a parent is beyond words and the greatest gift of life!
