S'mores Smiles!


Who doesn't like S'mores. My family is a huge fan. In face we are such a fan that I talked my husband into putting a fire pit in our backyard so that we could enjoy them whenever we want! It is so fun to be able to go out in the evening and sit around the fire with family and/or friends. We love talking and the children think it is an absolute blast. This creates such great opportunity to build friendships, relationships and memories!

You can go to the official Krafts S'mores linkwww.www.SmoresSmiles.com to learn more recipes, tips and fun ideas for around the camp fire!

This is my post I am using to enter a contest for a S’mores prize pack as a member of the Mom Bloggers Club.

JumpStart Wii "Get Moving Family Fitness" (Sport Edition) review and giveaway!



My son and I have been a fan of JumpStart since we were introduced to it over a year ago. There online site has games and activities for your child to enjoy. They are not only educational but fun. JumpStart continues to add new games and areas to this virtual world giveing your chid the best experience possible. I will be sharing more with you on JumpStart interactive site in a post coming soon...

Since, JumpStart has decided to give you and your child even more opportunity to bring JumpStart into your home. JumpStart now offers several wii games. One game in particulary is the JumpStart Get Moving Family Fitness (Sports Edition). This game can get the whole family involved and makes fitness fun too!

Get Moving Family Fitness was released in stores June 15th, 2010. This game includes more than 15 sport challenges in 11 exotic arenas (underwater, on a farm in Egypt and more). Get Moving Family Fitness also gives you access to expert tips for staying healthy and fit.

Rated E for Everyone with Comic Mischief by the ESRB

Review:
This game has been a hit in our household. I personally have only played only a couple of the games, but enjoyed what I played. I liked the fact that their was detail instruction for each game on how to use the remote and what the goal is. This is very important as each game is different and I am no wii pro like my son.



My son has had more experience with the Wii Get Moving Family Fitness and gives it two thumbs up. I think all kids would agree with my son when he say's "Creating a character is really COOL"! Here my son got to choose hair, eyes, clothes and more on his personal profile. When his friends come over they too like to create their own character to play with. My son enjoys the fact that Wii Get Moving Family Fitness includes so many sports which he loves such as baseball. He has even picked up some new sports such as speed skating. His friend and him especially enjoy the flying races. Here they get to be a bird and use your arms to fly to the finish line. The best part of this game is you can change the back ground of where you are playing. This changes the atmosphere so that you can play on a farm, in space, underwater and more. This is a very fun feature for the kids. Overall this is a great game to have and gives the family a great way to interact with each other.

Orajel Toddler Oral Care REVIEW!


It is important for me to help install good habits on my children while they are young. One of these things is teaching my children to take care of their teeth and gums. Of course I also want only the best for my children. When it comes to their health I want to make sure what I give them is healthy and safe. This is why I recommend a brand such as Orajel. It is a brand that not only has been around for years but Orajel also offers safe products for all mouth care needs.


With babies and toddlers you have to be especially careful. Orajel baby/toddler oral care products are safe if swallowed and fluoride free. Orajel also is aware that if your child is going to be excited about brushing their teeth, they must make it as fun ans kid friendly as possible. They do this by giving your the option to choose a toothbrush/paste with some of their favorite characters on it. My son always selected a Thomas the Train toothbrush when he was younger. My daughter has an Elmo one right now which she loves. Orajel also gives infant and toddlers a variety of flavors your child will love. (Mixed fruit, Very Berry, Apple/Banana, Fruit Splash, Bubble Burst, Berry Blast or Tooty Fruity)

Buy It:
You can purchase Orajel at several local and worldwide stores. You can find a list of these stores on their site. Also check out the list of Brushing Basics and Tips for Toddlers.

I was sent an Toddler Oral Care kit for this review. Even though I was given this product at no cost, my opinions are honest and am a lifetime fan of Orajel infant/toddler care.
