Friday Fun with Mr. Linky

I am loving the weather lately. I am so glad I spent the last week of cold weather away on vacation. I have been so fed up with the cold. It is hard to stay away from it when you not only live in the state with "The Best Snow on Earth"...(UGGhhhh!) but when you live where the snow is one of the last places to melt. Seriously, where we live, we have snow for about a month after everyone else in the valley has theirs all melted. So depressing.
Well back to the great weather and the good mood. I LOVE being able to walk outside and not having to put on layers of clothing. My kids are able to work off so much more energy being able to go outside and play. The only problem is getting the kids back inside. I am the mom who has two kids by the arm trying to push them through the door. They seriously hate going back inside. It's tears and screaming everytime. I still think it's worth it though.



Well It is time to bring Mr. Linky back for another weekend of giveaways. Please be sure to post family friendly ONLY. Also it is always nice to support fellow bloggers and friends.

Pediped Flex Review!



When it comes to shoes, you get what you paid for. After several blisters and brocken straps, I tend to think I spend more replaising my shoes rather then just going with the better brand in the first place. When it comes to my kids I have the same thoughts. My children are constantly on the go and I want to make sure their shoes are comfortable and give their feet room to grow. This is why I love Pediped footwear. You won't have to wonder if they are comfortable on your child's foot.

Pediped generously sent my son the Demetri Flex shoe to review. Not only are these shoes extremely cute and stylish, but thesy are made to last. These shoes are made to stay looking new. After an active day of running and playing my son isn't begging to take his shoes off. It is as if he doesn't even know they are there. He has received several compliments on his shoes and I personally cannot get over at how well these shoes are made. All Pediped shoes are made with a non-toxic, ECO grade leather. Your child will also find comfort in the foam and cushioned insoles. The padded heels help keep your child's foot protected from impact and distribute the weight throughout the foot. For your toddlers, Pediped offers Pediped Flex to give your active child comfort in all their foot movement. My favorite feature has to be the Flex Feet System. This allows the shoe to bend comfortably with your childs movement. These are one pair of shoes my son is not begging to take off.


Pediped footwear has shoes made for infants ages 0-2 (Originals) and shoes for toddlers age 1-5 (Flex). Originals are made to stay on your infants foot. I would have loved to had these for my babies. I was always losing shoes without even knowing it until I got home. Pediped is also recommended by podiatrists.

So if you are looking for a perfect pair of shoes from a company who has several people stand by their name, shop at Pediped. You and your child will love their shoes and the selection they offer.

Giant Fortune Cookie review and giveaway! (CLOSED)



They say some of the greatest gifts come from the heart, but how about a "Giant Fortune Cookie"?

I cannot get over this great store. It can supply you with the perfect gift for every occasion; Anniversaries, showers, birthdays, graduation, Mothers Day, etc. The best part is you get to decide what message you want to use inside the fortune cookies or giant fortune cookie. If you have teenagers who are all about getting creative when asking their dates to prom, they will get a "Yes" from these. Imagine using this as a proposal... Romantic isn't it? Another great idea is using a Giant Fortune Cookie to announce your pregnant or the gender of your baby. I love all the creative ways you can deliver your message using fortune cookies.

I didn't get my delivery as a surprise with a secret message inside, but I still was able to feel the excitement as I opened it up. I was very impressed that one giant fortune cookie could be delivered in one piece. Once I opened my package I saw how they kept it fresh and all together. Inside the delivered box was bubble wrap to secure the lovely white box inside. When I opened the white box there was the giant fortune cookie wrapped neatly in cellophane and tied with a nice ribbon on top. As you can see from the picture everything was presented perfectly and the fortune cookie looked delicious. Guess what else? It tasted delicious! You will not have to worry about these cookies crumbling while being mailed.


When you visit "Giant Fortune Cookie" you will see you have a lot of great choices when it comes to selecting your fortune cookies. You have the choice between one Giant Fortune Cookie or several traditional small fortune cookies. Each giant fortune cookie is individually wrapped and weighs just over a pound. The smaller fortune cookies are usually deliveried in tins. If your receiver is really particular on their chocolate you also have the choice to send them dark, milk or white chocolate dipped cookies. The choices will amaze you. Check out these St. Patrick fortune cookies.

More Fathers Day gift Ideas!

I laughed when I saw this deal. Not because the product is funny, but because my husband is always trying to figure out ways to get me to park right in the garage. We have the smallest 2 car garage and not a lot of room for all of our items which belong in there. My husband has attached balls on strings and hung them from the garage ceiling to help me know when to stop pulling my car back. I still manage to hit things ;) Plus my kids thought this was some cool toy that dad put in the garage and have pulled all the balls down. I am actually considering getting this for my hubby. It has great reviews and I think he will be happy to see I am serious about working on my garage parking skills ;)

This other gift idea is one that is fun for the whole family. Well some of your kids may be too young, but you and your friends will love this game. This is mine and my husbands FAVORITE game. It takes a lot of strategy and we don't like to play nice. If your husband or father likes games, I highly recommend this. Right now it is on sell on Amazon.
