Michael Buble "Crazy Love" review!

I had heard of Michael Buble before and did enjoy of his songs "Everything" and "Home", but for some reason I never really looked into any of his other work. When One2One contacted me about reviewing his newest cd, "Crazy Love", I was interested. I knew several of the songs he chose for this album, such as"Georgia On My Mind". I loved the variety of eras he chose to spotlight and figured I would probably appreciate the cd. I agreed to do the review and was sent my own free copy of "Crazy Love" to review.

Ok, so I didn't just enjoy this cd, I LOVED it! Why I hadn't become a fan sooner beats me. Michael Buble has one of the sexiest voices around. His voice is also very mesmerizing. His latest cd, "Crazy Love" was released October 9th. Each song seems to speak to the helpless romantic in me. One of my favorite songs is "Haven't Met You Yet".


I highly recommend this cd to anyone. Below is a list of the songs included on "Crazy Love".

Album Tracklisting:
1. Cry Me A River
2. All Of Me
3. Georgia On My Mind
4. Crazy Love
5. Haven't Met You Yet
6. All I Do Is Dream Of You
7. Hold On
8. Heartache Tonight
9. You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You
10. Baby (You've Got What It Takes)
11. At This Moment
12. Stardust
13. Whatever It Takes (bonus track)

Kaskey Kids review!

I have been so excited to share with you this awesome toy. I was recently introduced to Kaskey Kids through another blogger (Angie from "A Simple Kind Of LIfe"). Kaskey Kids was founded by Bruce and Christy Kaskey in 2001. Christy took her children's love for sports and her brothers love for action figures and created these fun sport action figures. She felt these would be the perfect indoor toy for any boy or girl who loves sports.

The sports action figures which Kaskey Kids offers are Football Guys, College Football, Baseball Guys, Hockey Guys, Soccer Guys and mini packs of football and baseball guys.

Review:



Kaskey Kids offered me a free product to review. I had my son select which sport figures he would like to have. After making a hard decision between all the sports he loves, he selected the "Baseball Guys" figurines. This set included all of these items.

- a Red and a Blue team (24 2 1/2" players)
- 1 umpire
- 1 fully adjustable realistic scoreboard
- 28" x 28" washable felt field
- 10" x 6" x 5" stackable container with attached lid and handle
- (My personal favorite) a list of baseball rules and terms for people like me who don't quite understand the sport. Everything was explained in great detail for children too.

My husband has always been into sports and would love for our son to be as well. My husband has found it a little challenging to explain sports to our action hero toy fanatic 4 year old. It's not that our son doesn't enjoy playing sports, he does. The problem is he has a hard time focusing and listening to their rules. He does however focus well when playing with his action figures. On the other hand my husband has never really been into action figures. I hoped this would be a great toy to involve both of them and their likes.


My son loves his "Baseball Guys" figures. My husband has finally found a toy him and his son can enjoy together. I personally love watching my husband teach my son the rules of baseball, while playing and spending time with my son. This is such a perfect toy for a sport fanatic and his son.

I have been so impressed with this toy and the fact that it also doesn't encourage violence, that I have included it on my "Christmas Gift guide". Kaskey Kids has also agreed to sponsor a giveaway during the "Christmas Gift Guide" event!

Top Products For the Breastfeeding Mom (Guest Post)

Post by Maria Palma
BabyChicBlog.com

So, you've decided that you're going to breastfeed your baby, or perhaps you're looking for holiday gift ideas for the breastfeeding mom in your life. There are a few products that moms have used to make breastfeeding more convenient and that can actually serve to enhance rather than get in the way of the breastfeeding relationship. Here are the top products every breastfeeding mom needs:

A good nursing bra - A supportive and comfortable nursing bra is very useful for a breastfeeding mom in order to avoid problems with plugged ducts - especially if she is well-endowed. A nursing bra should be stretchy and very soft to accommodate a mother's changing breast size throughout the day. It should also make nursing convenient, with one handed access and ease of use. It is recommended that a soft cup versus underwire cups be used. The Bravado bra is one very popular style. This bra features a no-roll band and different levels of support for women of all cup sizes. A few days after giving birth, most women find that their breasts increase by one cup size when their milk supply increases, but then levels off within a few weeks.

A good breast pump - Many mothers nurse their babies without ever using a pump. But for some moms, owning an effective pump means they will make exclusive breast milk feeding a success and avoid formula. When looking for a good breast pump, make sure to assess your needs. If you'll only need a pump for occasional use (such as a mom's night out), a manual pump like the Avent Isis is all you need. If you'll be going back to work full time or have a premature baby who you will need to pump for frequently, invest in a good hospital quality, electric double pump like the ones made by Medela. In general, breast pumps made by companies that also market infant formula are to be avoided. They tend to be poor quality and cause pain.

A baby sling - While not exactly a breastfeeding product, a baby sling has proven to be a lifesaver for many nursing moms. Life with a new baby in the house can be stressful. A baby sling can make things much easier. It allows mom to hold her infant, reducing crying (crying babies have a harder time nursing and often suffer with more gas due to swallowing a lot of air) while allowing her to get things done. A baby sling is also helpful for newborns whose limbs flail around and get in the way of a good breastfeeding latch. Many sling styles allow mom to breastfeed easily and discreetly which is very nice when mom is out in public.

A product that I personally like that is similar to a baby sling is the Baby Brella nursing poncho. Baby Brella is actually a multi-purpose product. It can be used for discreet nursing as well as a baby carrier or stroller cover after the baby has been fed.

A good breastfeeding book - Having an informative book on breastfeeding empowers a mom - especially if this is her first baby. She can read it before the baby arrives to learn good breastfeeding technique and management, and refer to it if she faces any challenges with breastfeeding. Some great ones for a mom's library are: The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding by La Leche League International and Breastfeeding, Keep it Simple by Amy Spangler.

Are there any good breastfeeding products that you would add to the list?

With all this food on my mind I realize I will be spending allot of my time in the kitchen. I have to admit that this part doesn't excite me as much as eating all the food does. However, if I am going to slave away cooking this season, I might as well do it in style.

Snow White and Seven Dwarf Diamond Edition review!

Everyone should have the Disney Classics in their home. However, some of these classics don't grab your childrens attention as well as the newer movies because of their lack of color and poor sound quality. This is why Disney has come out with an all new product line, The Disney's Diamond Collection. On October 6th the Snow White and the Seven Drawfs: Diamond Edition was released. This not only included an updated Snow White with suprerier picture and sound, but also a high definaition Blu-ray with bonus features and more.

For those of you who are new to Blu-rays, here are some of the highlights about Blu-ray discs and players.
-Blu-ray are up to 6x better quality than DVD
-7.1 Surround Sound
-Immersive activity with games and special features
-Kid proof-more scratch resistant (hallelujah!)
-Plays both Blu-ray and DVD discs
-Blu-ray also plays on Sony Playstation 3 players

Review:

Sadly I do not have a Blue-ray player or a Sony Playstation 3 player, but I do have a dvd player and was able to experiance the newly enhanced dvd. My little girl loved it. I was also able to enjoy the brightly updated colors. It brought back so many childhood memories watching this movie. I remember being a little girl and always having my mom tie a ribbon around my head, just like Snow White. I am so excited to have this updated classic in my home. I hope to experiance the Blur-ray discs soon as well.
