Pawparazzi Pets- Review AND Giveaway!
My daughter is a big animal fan, real or play, she just enjoys having pets around. So when given the opportunity to review Pawparazzi Pets, I knew she would be a great tester! Every time we go to the store, she sees the stuffed animals and starts naming them, and has a plan in her head about how she will take care of them.
We recieved Misty the cat, a Reporter for CNN-(Cat News Network). As soon as my daughter saw her, she was in love. We used to have a kitten that looked just like her, my daughter wanted to keep her, but we had to give her away. After opening her kitty up, an instant plan was made! She took her out of the purse/holder, and began caring for her. We also recieved an adorable Flower Fairy Clothing Set, which is the cutest little thing in the kitty! My daughter changed her, "fed her", and showed her where she would be sleeping, and her story has continued every day : ) I love how a stuffed animal can spark such imagination in a 6 year old, and oh the stories she has!
Pawparazzi Pets offers both cats and dogs, along with great accesories for your pet! Adorable outfits and pet beds will make a great Holiday gift for your animal lover!
If you head over to the site, you can sign your child up for the Fan Club, and they will recieve a special thank you gift for joining! My daughter recieved a cute charm bracelet, which doubles as a jeweled collar for her kitty.

MyGrandParentsRock.com Review AND Giveaway!
I love to shop for gifts for family, but I always run into problems when it comes to the Grandparents! My own grandparents have everything and don't give me any ideas, and my mom and dad, well, they're pretty much the same way! So, when shopping for gifts, I need to be creative and find something that will make them smile, and be something they'll use.
When I was introduced to MyGrandparentsRock.com, I knew I could find some really neat gifts that would be useful and in my budget. What I REALLY like about the site is that they give pretty much every single way you could say Grandma and Grandpa, and you can personalize your items that way! My son used to call my mom "Gramma" and dad "Grampy" and they are both on the site!
Not only do they have Grandparents shirts, but they also offer Mom and Dad shirts, Aunt and Uncle, Baby gifts, and maternity shirts too! This is definetly a cool site to find that unique gift for your grandparents, or other family members!
I picked the shirt "Worlds Coolest Grandma, Stare if you Must!" for my mom, because, well, to us, she is the coolest! I know she's going to get a kick out of wearing it, and the kids are very excited to give it to her!

Great Halloween finds at Walmart!
I forgot to post this earlier, but I stopped at Walmart today for some things and decided to see if they had any Halloween stuff left. Well, they had a TON! It was more party favors, window clings, etc., but at 90% off, I figured I could get enough stuff to use for goody bags for bday parties AND use the leftovers for Halloween next year!
So, I scored-
2- 20 pack Porcupine balls $.25/each
2- 20 pack Vampire Teeth $.25/each
2- 10 pack Activity pads $.50/ each
3- Window clings $. 20/each
Pumpkin Carving Kit (Stencil book and 5 carving accesories) $1.00
And the best items I got were the 2 costumes I picked up!
Hippie Chick for daughter- $1.40!
Zombie man for son $2.00!
I was so happy finding this stuff! I should know to ALWAYS go to Walmart, they seem to have to best selection of 75%-90% Clearance items for all holidays!
And, if the kids decide they don't want to be what I got them here, I will donate the costumes to their school for the families that cannot afford costumes! Good deal for all : )

Kaskey Kids Review
My son is very hard to buy toys for, even when he was younger, I could never find toys he would play with for more than a week or so!
I was able to review the Kaskey Kids Hockey Set, which I chose because our family LOVES hockey! A few weeks ago, a set of army men was broke out and both my son AND daughter had been playing with them for days. So, when the Hockey set arrived, they were estatic! Now both of them could play and have a "game" going on, it was too fun to watch!
What I really like about the set, not only that it kept the kids entertained, and still is, is that they come packaged in a nice plastic carrying case, so the pieces stay in one place. I have found a few men lying around the living room a few times, but my daughter has been quick to get him back in the box, because it's always a team member of hers!
Finding toys that both of my children will play with, together, is a challenge for me. My son is 10 and my daughter is 6, so they do have different interests. I was very happy to see that both of the kids have enjoyed this set, together, and still are enjoying playing!
A bit about Kaskey Kids-
Kaskey Kids was founded by Bruce and Christy Kaskey in 2001 with the purpose of creating simple sports action figures.
As a mother of four sports-loving children, Christy saw that her children and their friends were happiest and most enthusiastic when sports were involved. Playing in the park, in the backyard or at the beach kept everyone active and occupied, but when playtime was brought inside, none of the traditional toys held the Kaskey Kids' interest.
Christy took a look back at her own childhood for some inspiration and could vividly remember her two brothers engaging in hours of imaginary play with simple action figures like Army Men, Super Heroes and Cowboys and Indians. After a few years with her house filling up with every bucket or bag of action figures, animals or cars, Christy realized that a simple box of sports action figures could be the key.
Kaskey Kids comes in 5 different sets-
Football
College Football
Baseball
Soccer
Hockey
And also carries Mini Sets, for your team to play against a new team!
Each kit sells for $24.99, and the Mini Sets are $9.99! Kaskey Kids Sets are available online, and also at select stores thru out the US!
Kaskey Kids have a great product for both boys and girls, and I would recommend checking them out for a fun, new toy for your kids!
Thank you to Kaskey Kids for the opportunity to review their sets, my children are enjoying it and will for a long time!

HIP- T-- Review and Giveaway!
If you are anything like me, you will want to read this review and enter this Hip-T giveaway!
Since I can remember, I have had problems finding jeans and pants that fit me just right. Either they are too small and I feel like I'm showing business that doesn't need to be shown, or they are too big and I need a belt! I have a very weird shaped body, so while I WANT to wear the cute and stylish tops, they are too short and I don't like showing my undies! Therefore, I end up wearing Tshirts or oversided sweaters that don't do anything for me : (
Now that I've been introduced to Hip-T, I know I can finally wear the shirts I've been dying to wear!
When I first saw Hip-T, I thought, "Wow, that is really creative!" And, such a simple solution to a problem that many women have.
Hip-T offers many styles and colors to choose from, so any shirt can be accesorized with the Hip-T for a great look. I even found that some old shirts I hadn't worn for years could now be worn again, and it was like showing off a new shirt!
A bit about Hip-T-
After years of loving and living in our low rise jeans and layering t-shirt over t-shirt, we had to acknowledge there was a problem. Daily activities such as sitting at a restaurant or bending to tie a shoe were met with constant rear end exposure of one type or another. To make matters worse, we were tired of dealing with bulky messy layers of t-shirts in hopes of camouflaging what might make an appearance with the next bend and snap! Let's not forget, layering in itself is a great look. So, whether it was butt crack hanging out of the trunk, or using that thin sweatshirt as an additional "cover-up" accessory around the waist, something had to be done short of walking away from the investment we had made in the denim department.
It is true, the best products are the simple ones which make our lives easier and more comfortable. With that in mind, we took an old white t-shirt and cut the bottom half off. We slipped it on around the scene of the crime and layered with another t-shirt. Now it was time for the test – a good deep squat in front of the mirror. Hey – no thong exposure, no bum cleavage and no t-shirt tangle. How easy! The first hip-T was resurrected from the depths of the t-shirt drawer. hip-hip hurray!
Hip-T's can be purchased online starting at $19.95, and are also available in select stores thru out the US and Canada! I would definetly recommend checking these out, for anyone who has suffered the dreaded Muffin Top or Plumbers Crack! Hip T is the best and easiest solution to these problems, and I bet you'll be satisfied with your new clothing wardrobe after purchasing!
Here's the best part! One lucky reader is going to win their choice of any Hip T in stock! All you have to do is head over to Hip-T and let me know your favorite style! ( Mandatory Entry!0

Thank you to Hip-T, I have finally found the perfect solution to what has been a huge problem most of my life! I cannot thank you enough!
KIDORABLE- Review and Giveaway!
I love to have fun and cute things for my kids, for a few reasons... the biggest one being I like to know which item is my daughters or sons! Being in school, every kid in the class seems to have the same colored umbrella, or hat and gloves, so if my kid loses something and I have to dig thru the Lost and Found pile, I don't always know that I'm getting the same one my kid was wearing before they lost it!
At Kidorable, they offer so many cute and different choices! From umbrellas and rain gear, to winter hats, gloves and scarfs, each item will definetly stand out!
We choose the Fairy Umbrella, my daughter is loving Fairys right now, so she is in LOVE with it! Not only is the umbrella very well made, but it is a good sided one too. Last time I purchased a child umbrella, she barely stayed dry. Kidorable offers many styles for boys and girls, such as a Butterfly, Ladybug, or Mermaid for the girls, to a Dinosaur, Fireman or Frog for the boys! To complete your child for the rainy season, Kidorable also offers Raincoats and boots in the same styles, so your child can be matching from head to toe! Living in Illinois, I never know if we're going to wear our winter apparel, or have to break out the rain gear : ) The week we were sent out products, we were able to use BOTH in the same week, within days, lol! Gotta love Illinois!
We were also sent the Hearts knit hat and scarf for review, I loved that with the different colors, she can wear her replacement coat when the other is being washed. The hat and scarf match perfectly, and again, if she does misplace them, I can at least be sure that they will be easy to find!
The past few winters I have gone cheap and bought the kids $1-2 hats and gloves, because they were losing them or the hats were falling apart, so I felt like I was shelling out way too much money on the same thing over and over again. I have no doubt in my mind that this hat and scarf will stand up to her playing and running around, and that they will keep her warm while waiting to get into school : ) I only wish I would have found Kidorable earlier, for both Raingear AND winter items because they are well worth the money!
A bit about Kidorable-
In 1997, Kidorable sprung from the minds, hearts and efficiency apartment of Liping and Jonathan Domsky. They proclaimed, "The world needs someone to create children's apparel and accessories that are both functional and fun. We can do that."
And so Kidorable was conceived. Starting with lions and cats and bears, oh my, manifested as umbrellas and hangers, Kidorable generated enough sales during its first year to break even and plant fruitful Kidorable seeds throughout the land. The following year sales grew ten fold. Every year since, give or take, a new style and/or product line debuted. And every year, the world joyfully embraced more Kidorable delights, give or take, than the year before.
Today Kidorable is a striking presence, not just in stores, but across the vast landscape of the children's apparel and accessories industry. By encouraging personal and professional growth in the service of imagination and smiles, Kidorable's own growth projections continue to soar.
Kidorable products can be ordered online, but they are also in stores thru out the United States. I was at the mall today and saw the Kidorable umbrellas in a Stride Rite store, so be on the lookout! If you are looking for a creative and fun gift, they also offer gift certificates!
Here's the best part- One lucky reader is going to win an umbrella of their choice! All you have to do is head over to Kidorable and let me know your favorite item! ( Mandatory Entry!)

Kristines Shower Bath and Body review
I recently was able to review some products from Kristines Shower, and I'm so glad I got the opportunity! I suffer from Excema AND Psoriasis, so I am always trying to find products that won't irritate my skin. I love smelling pretty, and these were great on my skin!
I was sent CocoVan Aloe Vera Body Whip, Shea Butter Sorbet Moisturizer, and a bar of 100% soap!
First off, I have to say the scents are AMAZING! When I used the CocoVan Body whip for the first time, my daughter told me all day long how good I smelled : ) The Shea Butter Sorbet goes on smoothly and doesn't leave a greasy feeling, it just absorbs right in to my skin and leaves it feeling soft and moisturized!
The 100% soap has a light, clean scent to it, I love using it in the morning to wake me up. It also leaves a nice smell afterwards.
Kristines Shower offers many other products and has over 25 scents to choose, from Soft and Sensual, Fresh and Clean, Tropical Getaway, Fun and Fruity and Can't Miss Favorites! I'm pretty sure you will be able to find a scent for everyone!
Products available are- Bathbombs, 100% Soap, Shea Sorbet, Body Frosting, Aloe Vera Whips, Yummy Lips and they also offer products for men!
Kristines Shower also offers Gift Sets, whether you are shopping for a Birthday or a Shower Gift, this would make a wonderful surprise to anyones day!
I am almost out of my products, so I will definetly be making a purchase soon from Kristines Shower! The prices are great, the products are wonderful, I can't say enough good things about Kristines Shower : ) Any product that helps my skin AND smells great gets a thumbs up from me!

Karito Kids "Florence Fiasco" Book review
When asked to review the book Florence Fiasco from Karito Kids, I jumped at it! Not only does my daughter LOVE to read, she is 1/4 Italian and I enjoy teaching her as much as I can about her heritage!
My daughter is 6, and she loves to be read to, so this was the perfect book to snuggle up together before bed and read a few chapters every night. We usually pick out a few books, she reads a bit then I read a bit. This book is a chapter book, a bit hard for her to read on her own, but I read to her and when I found words she knew or could sound out, she went for it!
We really enjoyed Florence Fiasco, learning about Gia, who wants to become a fashion designer, but works at her family's Inn in Italy. Each chapter was exciting and brought a ton of questions from my daughter. I think she got so much information, and because it was told thru a childs eyes it made it so much more interesting for her!
My husband is Italian and he can always get the answers to our kids questions about what their heritage is, but reading about it stuck with my daughter. We finished the book a few days ago and she is still asking questions about being Italian, and wanting to read more about Gia! So I hope Karito Kids comes out with more books for my daughter to read as she gets older : )
Karito Kids also has other Heritage books, including-
Mexico Mystery
Shanghai Secret
Sydney Scandal
and
The Manhattan Menace
I like that each book gives so much information and also holds the childs attention. When my daughter actually wants to get ready for bed, it must be a good book!
To find out more about Karito Kids and their products, please head over to their website.
These books, along with their other items would make a great stocking stuffer or a gift itself!
Thank you to Karito Kids for the opportunity to review Florence Fiasco, we enjoyed the book very much and look forward to reading more in the future!

High IntenCity Review AND Giveaway!
I have a 6 year old daughter who LOVES jewerly, necklaces and bracelets being her favorite! The only problem is, after wearing them a few times they either break and get lost, or just break and that's the end of the piece! When I was able to review a piece of jewerly from High IntenCity, I jumped at the chance! They have the most adorable selection of Charms and Bracelets, Necklaces, Gift Sets and Hair Accesories!
I was able to review the Hello Kitty Fun Gift Set, because lately Hello Kitty is one of my daughters favorites!
When we recieved the set, first thing I liked was the actual box it comes in, rainbow colored and magnetic so it opens and closes easily. I gave it to my daughter and when she saw it was Hello Kitty AND a bracelet for her, she was so excited to wear it! She wore it around the house that night, and I forgot to take it off before bed, but the next morning it was still on her wrist. And, she's a restless sleeper so I figured it may have fallen off, but it stayed!
That morning she wore it to school to show her classmates, and the nice thing is it is very easy to take off herself. There is a bigger clasp so it's not a problem for her little fingers to get in unclasped. Of couse, all of her friends liked her bracelet and asked her where she got it, and being 6 year old girls, that made me laugh a bit! They are growing up so fast, and to hear them talking about jewerly like they were, was really cute!
I could definetly see myself purchasing the Birthday gift set for a birthday party gift or even for some of my family members, I've got sisters that LOVE Hello Kitty as much as my daughter! But, High IntenCity also offers other selection, such as the Animal set, Friends set and another favorite of mine, the Rockstar Giftset!
You can also make your own Charm Bracelet or Necklace, with over 100 charms to choose from and 15 different selections of bracelets and necklaces! There is a charm for every girl : )
This company isn't only for the girls, High IntenCity also offers Cool Stuff For Boys, with Cord Bracelets and Beaded necklaces. Very cool and very reasonable! I think my son would wear the Skull and Crossbone necklace, it's neat!
Right now High IntenCity has a contest going on, the Design a Charm Contest! If you have a neat or creative idea for a charm, please head over there and enter! Each winner will receive $100 of charms AND if your charm is a winner High IntenCity will donate 10% of proceeds to a cause selected by YOU!
Here's the best part! One lucky reader is going to win a Hello Kitty Fun Gift Set of their own! Just head over to High IntenCity and let me know your favorite item! This entry is mandatory!

Name Your Tune CD Review and Giveaway!
Recently, I was asked to review the Personalized CD, "Name Your Tune"! It is a collection of childrens songs, with some songs personalized with your childs name! How cool is that?!
So. when I recieved the CD from Name Your Tune, first thing I did was pop it in my CD player in the car and crank it up when I picked the kids up from school. Immediatly, my 6 year old daughter recognized "If Your Happy and You Know It" and started singing and dancing to it. The next song was the best though, "Little Ashlee Had a Farm", she was so excited about her name being in the song, it made her laugh and sing the whole way home! My 10 year old son even got into a few songs, and I didn't think he would, being he is usually "too cool" for this type of CD!
There are 14 different songs on the CD, here are a few, along with the above-
-Wheels on The Bus
-Down at The Park
-Head and Shoulders
-ABC Medley
A bit about Name Your Tune-
Based in Toronto, Name Your Tune Inc. is founded and managed by Candace Alper. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from McMaster University and a Bachelor of Education degree from OISE/University of Toronto. Candace has been active with children and youth in her community through social programs, summer camps and trips abroad.
This project has been a natural progression bringing together her love of music, arts, children and creativity. As mother to four-year-old Hannah, Candace appreciates the impact and joy of music in her child's every day. It is her motivation, enthusiasm and vision that have driven this project from its conception through to the hands of each child.
Co-Founder Eric Alper, has been active in the Canadian Music Industry for more than 15 years and a music-lover his whole life. As Director of Media Relations and Label Acquisitions for KOCH Entertainment, Eric brings his unique perspective and experience to Name Your Tune. Eric founded Hear Here in 2000 together with his audiologists. The Fun Fest is also a day to raise money for the Hospital for Sick Children in order to help provide hearing aids for hearing impaired children. The fund covers the patient cost of the hearing aids that is not covered by the Assistive Devices Program (ADP). Hear Here is administered through The Hospital For Sick Children. Name Your Tune proudly donates a portion from our CD sales to support Hear Here.
Name Your Tune also offers other products, such as Books, Lunchboxes and Placemats! Stop over and check out all the cool gifts they offer!
In my opinion, this CD would be a wonderful gift for a child for the holidays, probably more towards the ages anywhere from 1-8 years. However, these are songs that EVERYONE knows, so the entire family can sing along together for a awhile, or passing the time driving along, with 14 songs, it's a great gift!
If you would like to purchase a CD, please use the code Iheartshopping for $5 off your order! Pretty nice!
And now, 1 lucky reader is going to win their own Personalized "Name Your Tune" CD, just head over to Name Your Tune and let me know which song would be your or your childs favorite! This is the mandatory 1st entry!

Halloween Snack Ideas and Suggestions!
My kids are in 1st and 5th grade, and because I cannot actually go to their parties, I volunteered to send in some Halloween themed snacks!
Well, now I'm drawing a blank.. the snacks need to be more healthy than anything,and I said I'd do a fruit and/or veggie, so I figured I would go the easy route, carrots and dip and mabye some black olives to get the Black and Orange colors.
Then I thought I could do Black grapes and orange slices or cantaloupe, but I'm not sure the kids would like the Cantaloupe, my kids don't!
So, I'm looking for any ideas, I will take them all! Thanks for any ideas : )
Now I wish I would have just signed up to supply the paper goods, lol!
