Head Back To School With America's Leading Brand of School Uniforms: French Toast (Review & Giveaway)


A Little Bit About French Toast
French Toast Official School Wear™ is America's leading brand of school uniforms. Since 1958, our company has provided families with quality children’s wear and boys and girls school uniforms at great prices. Our selection of uniform styles and sizes is second to none, from toddler size uniforms through young adult, French Toast carries over 6,000 individual colors, styles and sizes in stock, all year round! French Toast uniforms can be found at retailers across the nation, or on-line at http://www.frenchtoast.com/ .

Our Experience
After a few fun filled months this Summer, school started back up yesterday. Though it would be great to extend the Summer out a few extra days, our son was actually excited to get back to school!
This year he added some great essentials from French Toast to his wardrobe, for the school year. Browsing through French Toast's online store, I was most surprised by their incredibly affordable prices! They carry everything to help you meet your school's uniform dress code, and have even extended their line to include footwear (also priced extremely well) this season. After browsing through the extensive selection, we chose the School Blazer, the V-Neck Long Sleeve Pull Over Sweater, the Long Sleeve Oxford Shirt (available in three color choices), and the Lace-Up Oxford Shoe.

Comfortable Style For A Busy Lifestyle: Rockport Zana Collection (Review)

A Little Bit About Rockport
Our philosophy is simple: Walkability.  In 1971, Rockport started with a simple philosophy: Engineer comfortable shoes using the latest in advanced technologies. Rockport was the first to engineer performance walking comfort in casual and dress shoes.

40 years later, Rockport continues to make style comfortable for metropolitan professionals around the world. We create collections that are sophisticated and stylish without compromising comfort or functionality. Today, our philosophy is simple: Walkability. We are about making the most walkable shoes in the industry. Our shoes deliver on their promise to make style comfortable and enable metropolitan professionals to look good longer.

My Experience
The past few weeks have been beyond hectic in our home! We have been preparing for the school year, starting Fall dance classes and sports, amongst an already busy schedule (where did the Summer go? Time is FLYING BY!). Though I've been on my feet for hour's at a time, I've managed to keep up with it all without any casualty's or sore feet. Over the past few weeks I've been wearing the super cute Zana sneaker's by Rockport with adiPRENE technology (pictured above). These sneaker's are fabulous! I can run around all day with housework, take the kid's to their activities, and my feet still feel great at the end of the day! I can really feel the difference with the adiPRENE technology!  Whether I wear these sneakers out for a quick trip to the grocery store, or a long demanding day with the kids,  my feet are cradled and protected from the rigors of the day.

Offering incredible comfort,  a stylish design, and two great color choices (silver or black) the Zana sneaker's are the perfect fit for my active lifestyle!
 A Little Bit About Rockport's Zana Collection
Rockport’s belief in walkability is illustrated with our Zana Collection. This collection offers adiPRENE technology which is highly shock-absorbent cushioning that protects the heel at impact.
They also feature:
-adiPRENE+ which provides resilient and flexible forefoot cushioning for a dynamic push-off.
-Washable full grain leather that is easy to clean and maintain to extend product life.
-Padded tongue and collar to prevent lace bruising and blisters.

You can find the Zana collection at select retailer's and online at http://www.rockport.com/

Experience The Pure Magic Of Lite Sprites (Review)


A Little Bit About Lite Sprites
Welcome to Lite-Topia, an enchanted land that sparkles with color and light. The Lite Wand creates magical color and light displays. Use it to share color and light with Lite Sprites and the interactive world of Lite-Topia. Capture color from your world and share it, or receive color from another Lite Wand. Play the built-in color games and send spells to Sprites and playsets.
Lite Sprites use color and light to express their moods and feelings. Each Sprite has her own personality and domain in the natural world. The Sprite Sisterhood includes: Prisma, Astra, Meadow and Brooke. Bleak, the naughty Sprite, rejects color and uses her powers to eliminate or disrupt color in Lite-Topia.
Our Experience
From a brand that always manages to wow both kid's and parent's alike with incredible concepts and innovative designs, WowWee has done it once again! The Lite Sprites collection is whimsical, magical, and oh' so incredibly FUN! Over the past few day's the princess has been simply dazzled  by the Lite Sprites Wand and Sprite (pictured above). By setting the wand on any color surface or the included color wheel,  the color reader on the bottom will automatically register the color in the wand's "library of colors"! By holding the button on the wand (for 2 seconds) the color (as if by magic) is transferred to the Sprite.

The princess sets her Sprite on her night stand each night now,  turns the Sprite her favorite color (usually pink or purple), and drifts off to sleep with the soft glow from her new Lite Sprite friend (the Sprite will automatically shut itself off after a certain time period). As a mother, I love that she's learning while she's playing! As each color is collected (or being projected) the lights on the wand lite up to show you which colors mix to create each color choice.

The enchanting Lite Sprites collection is available Nationwide at select retailer's, and online.  Hurry! I am positive that Lite Sprites will be amongst the most requested popular toys this Holiday Season!

BUY IT:
You can find Lite Sprites online at http://www.litesprites.com/ . Lite Sprites are available online and at select retialer's nationwide.

Our Experience
Preparations for the upcoming school year and the Fall season are in full swing in our home! Between shopping for all of the necessary school item's for our son and wardrobe updates for both of our children, we have been super busy.

Like most children, our kiddo's are growing at record pace and new footwear was on the top of our list for Fall essentials. Browsing through Pediped's adorable new collection, the princess fell in love with more than a few new styles from the Fall/Winter line. Her new Pediped Flex Bailey shoes (pictured above) are super comfortable, and will grow with her with the included removable flex insoles. What we love most about Pediped is the quality construction (only using the very best materials), coupled with the generously sized foot bed and toe box which provides superior comfort for little (still growing) feet.

The Flex Bailey shoes are so versatile, they can be worn comfortably all season with both her casual or dressier outfits, and will  without a doubt hold up to the rigors of her active toddler lifestyle.  Pediped footwear really is the next best thing to bare feet!

(Pictured Above: Child's Pizza Slice)
Our Experience
We started to think about Halloween in our home a little early this year. I really don't like to wait till the last minute as it causes an unneeded level of stress! The kid's decided to go with a theme of "favorite thing's" for each of their costumes, and we set off to find them promptly....though I wasn't quite sure B's costume choice would be easy to find. Why you ask? He decided that he wanted to be a piece of New York City Pizza, his absolute favorite food!

After browsing through the vast selection at Anytimecostumes.com, we were delighted to find the Child Pizza Slice Costume (pictured above)! After much thought, he decided that he will wear his NY Yankee's Baseball hat with his new costume.....because what says NYC Pizza more than a Yankee's Ball Cap and a Giant Pizza Slice?! The costume is constructed well and arrived at lightening speed (it shipped the same day that the order was placed, and arrived the following day via UPS).

We couldn't be more pleased with the outstanding quality of the product and service that Anytimecostumes.com provided. So, what will you be this Halloween? Find something fabulous at http://www.anytimecostumes.com/!

You can find the Nicole Lee collection in thousands of fine boutique shops throughout the state and abroad such as London, Paris, Tokyo, Milan, Rome, Madrid and many more. With our loyal customers pledging overwhelming support, Nicole Lee is on a venture to take on the new era of handbags.

My Experience
With two little one's I'm generally always in Mommy mode. Being as such, I carry around a HUGE over sized purse the majority of the time, that I've affectionately dubbed "the mommy bag". Every mom has one, it's a necessary accessory when we have little one's. It's the holder of the diapers(at young ages), wipes, tissues, toys, first aid kits, wallets, car keys, snacks, sippy cups, makeup...I could go on FOREVER (I know! Why don't we just throw in the kitchen sink, and call it a day?).

Though I love and need my "mommy bag", it's nice to downsize on occasionThe Nicole Lee Jackie purse (pictured above and below) is designed so well (with tons of compartments), I can fit much more in it than I ever anticipated! Though it's not sized to hold sippy cups, and all of those cute princess dolls & smurf figurines, it is just the right size to hold my essentials (car keys, generously sized wallet, makeup, and maybe, just maybe, one or two smurf figures or small toy's if the kid's insist!).

The incredible attention to detail with the quality construction, pin detail on the front, and gorgeous leopard lining clearly sets Nicole Lee Handbags apart from the rest. Gorgeous bag's at a prices that simply can't be resisted!

Clear The Clutter And Get Organized With Problem Solvers (Review & Giveaway)


A Little Bit About The Revolving Shoe Tree From Problem Solvers
Save Closet Space And Protect Your Footwear!  Chrome Shoe Trees take up very little floor space but hold plenty of shoes. The tiers revolve separately so you can get to the shoes you want with a quick spin. Weighted base.

Available Sizes:
  • Two-Tier 25"H, holds 12 pairs of shoes
  • Three-Tier 37"H, holds 18 pairs of shoes
  • Four-Tier 53"H, holds 24 pairs of shoes
  • Six-Tier 99"H, holds 36 pairs of shoes
Our experience
For some unexplained reason, my children and husband have a tendency to kick off their shoes in our front entry hallway and keep moving on their merry way. There the shoes will sit, until I usher them to their closets (but not before tripping over the shoe pile first, of course!). I know it's a small thing, but I must admit....IT.DRIVES. ME. CRAZY!

Problem Solvers had the perfect tool  for organizing the clutter and chaos in our hallway;  the Revolving Shoe Tree! Because we are a family of four, I went with the four tier option (two, three, four, and six tier options available). First, I would like to point out how pleasantly surprised I was by the weight to the base of the Revolving Shoe Tree. My main concern was that it wouldn't hold the weight of several pairs of shoes and still remain sturdy.  The sturdy weighted base ensures that it stays in place perfectly even when holding several pairs of shoes. All shoes are visible and easily accessible with the individually revolving tiers. This organizational tool has completely eliminated shuffling through the closet and peeking under furniture to find stray shoes  for the kid's (what a time saver)!

We each have our own tier to hold our shoes, and it takes up a minimal amount of space in our entry way with it's slim-line design. With the upcoming school year and change of seasons quickly approaching (which inevitably multiplies the footwear in our home-each of us with shoes, sneakers, and boots adds up quickly!) I'm thrilled to have the shoe clutter cleared and organized in such a functional (and stylish) way! Now everyone knows just where to find their shoes, and mommy has maintained her sanity.

Our Experience
As Summer is winding down in the Northeast part of the country, the inevitable cool temperatures that Fall usher in, are only a few short weeks away now (my goodness, where does the time go?!). The cool breezes and changing leaves will shortly thereafter give way to the frigid temperatures and (dare I say it?) snow, that Winter brings! We having been slowly preparing for the change of season by getting some painting done, and adding a few odds and ends to our family room & play room to help ensure comfort during the long Winter season spent largely indoors.

Adding a glowing ambiance and warmth to our family room will be effortless this season with the Dimplex Heritage Electric Stove from Hayneedle! The charming design of the stove fits in seemlessly with the decor in our home, and definitely adds a touch of Old World charm. Setup is super simple, and takes only a few quick minutes as it arrives partially assembled (tools required: Phillips screwdriver). The included remote control allows us to operate and adjust the warmth to our comfort level from anywhere in the room.  My expectations for the realistic presentation were more than met!  The flickering flames and crackling embers are as close to a real fire as it gets (without actually having a real fire). .

Offering a great alternative to a traditional fireplace, the Dimplex Heritage Electric Stove operates on just pennies a day! Cost efficient & GORGEOUS! What more can a gal ask for?!

The good... the bad... the Twitchy. HOODWINKED TOO! HOOD VS. EVIL finds our heroine, Red (Hayden Panettiere), training with a mysterious covert group called the Sisters of the Hood. But Red is forced to cut her training short when she gets an urgent call from NickyFlippers (David Ogden Stiers), the head of the super secret Happily Ever After Agency, aka the HEA. A wicked witch (Joan Cusack) has abducted two innocent children, Hansel (Bill Hader) and Gretel (Amy Poehler), and Nicky needs the whole Hoodwinked gang – Red, Granny (Glenn Close), the ever-clueless Wolf (Patrick Warburton) and his over-caffeinated little partner, Twitchy (Cory Edwards) – for the search and rescue mission.

Fracturing fairy tales and pop culture with good-natured glee, HOODWINKED TOO! HOOD VS. EVIL takes viewers on a rollicking rollercoaster ride combining edge-of-the-seat adventure with classic, zany cartoon antics.
The HOODWINKED TOO! HOOD VS. EVIL 3D Blu-ray™, Blu-ray™, and DVD bonus features include music videos by Hayden Panettiere (“I Can Do It Alone”), Lavay Cole (“You Know It”) and CEEJ (“Perfect Two”); a “The Voices of Hoodwinked Too!” featurette; storyboard sequences; production artwork; and video game applications.

Our Experience
We sat down to check out HOODWINKED TOO! HOOD vs. EVIL last Friday night for our family movie night, and I have to admit, I was totally unprepared for just how much I would enjoy this animated comedy! With an all-star cast my husband and I both had a blast matching the voices of the character's with some of our favorite actors and actresses!

Based loosely on the Little Red Riding Hood storyline, this sequel to last year's release HOODWINKED will inspire laughter and smiles while your routing for "Red" to win out over the evil doings of the Wicked Witch (Joan Cusack). The soundtrack includes an inspiring solo from Hayden Panettiere (the voice of "Red") that you won't want to miss! HOODWINKED TOO presents this classic storyline with a new age twist the whole family is sure to enjoy!

  • Memory retention and concentration
  • Nurture creativity and self-expression
  • Respect for themselves and each other
Our Experience
While I was aware that Yoga helps in building concentration, confidence, and respect for your body, I was not aware of just how beneficial Yoga can really be for children, I am now though! Over the past few weeks my kiddo's have been enjoying a new daily routine, that they've grown quiet fond of.  Yoga By The Dozen! While the princess was slightly familiar with Yoga, our son had not shown any interest. That was until we introduced him to Yoga By The Dozen. The calm voice of the instructor coupled with the fun relatable way she teaches the children on the DVD, instantly sparked interest from both of my children.

They happily pull out their Yoga mats daily now, and partake in this fun Yoga routine! By teaching them that they are really in complete control of their movements and their breathing they have both been much calmer! When the princess (4) goes into meltdown mode now, I quickly remind her to breathe, which (to my surprise!) now helps her to calm herself down and redirect her energy into talking through an issue (fairly remarkable in my opinion, for 4 years old!).

They have both learned a bunch from Yoga By The Dozen, and have had TONS OF FUN doing so!
