Green Sprouts- Great Feeding Options for your kiddos! CONTEST!
April 11, 2011 by 178 Comments
Do you LOVE natural products? I know I do. I really try as hard as I can to stay all natural if at all possible. With food containers- this can be tricky. I use a lot of glass. I don’t want my Little Man to deal with the side affects of BPA or other chemicals later in life! (Nor do I, LOL) However- there is a new option. Green Sprouts, available from iplay! It is made from plants– and while not microwave or dishwasher safe (Well, it is dishwasher safe, top shelf only, for up to 10 washes- so…), it is really great to have a NON-Glass option for food-to-go. It’s easier and lighter, that’s for sure! Plus, if it drops- it’s fine. It is just better to hand wash them, because they will last longer that way. They have flatware, cups, snack cups, and bowl/plate sets.
You can use the plates as tops to the bowls- and that is how we have been using them pretty much every time. I also love that there is three sections in the bowl- especially for fruit. In the mornings, we bring a lot of fruit for Little Man to have with breakfast, and this is my new favorite container.
New! Petroleum free! Made from plants! Forks & Spoons that are right-sized for toddlers. Twist-on spouts are easy to drink out of and interchangeable with Snack Cups Deep, divided bowl has 3 sections and plate doubles as a travel lid. Multi-use disposable items are dishwasher safe, top rack only up to 10 washings; hand wash for longer life.
Since 1982, i play., Inc. has been developing bibs and feeding accessories to meet the needs of babies as they grow and develop through infancy.

Pier 1- It’s Spring!
April 10, 2011 by 9 Comments
This post brought to you by Pier 1. All opinions are 100% mine.
March 20th has come and gone, so you know what that means! Spring has spring, and that means it’s time to get ready for BBQ season! YAY! I love outdoor entertaining 🙂 My house is small, so I am super happy when we can entertain outdoors. I just love Pier 1, they have some really fun and unique items available, and they are always updating! For me, it is all about the fun and the functional. They have a really cute, really colorful Taza Round Outdoor Table (also comes in square) that is very Middle Eastern, and would add such a touch a flair to a backyard party. The Rock Point Outdoor chairs would be a perfect match, colorful, comfortable, and with added cushions? No one would ever leave them! LOL (Wait- am I happy about that? Hmmm…)
If you need a bigger table, but are going for colorful- don’t worry, Pier 1 has you covered! Not so much for the tiled tables? That’s OK- they have TONS of styles and colors (and materials!) to choose from to get that perfect look. Your backyard should reflect who you are just as much as your living room! After all, it is where we will all be from April- October! May as well get it perfect, and love it! There is no place like Pier 1 to shop for fab finds. (Speaking of fab finds- if you go to their website, you can click on the “Special Savings” and “Clearance” buttons to see all the latest bargains and deals to be had. Don’t miss out! Quantities are limited, and I know I have missed out more then one, so hop to it, quick like the Easter bunny!)
Did I mention that so much of Pier 1’s outdoor furnitare can also be used indoor? Why not, right? When it looks that good- you will miss it during the cooler months, and may want to bring it in 🙂 I would LOVE one of those new Mosaic tables- they would be great for summer parties, but I would also love to use it in my living room…..(I did mention this to the hubs, Mother’s Day IS coming!)
Just to add a little elegance or comfort to your patio or deck this summer, check out the new Papsans and “Swingasans” that they are offering at Pier 1. (Not to mention the Outdoor Garden Stools or Pagoda Umbrellas!) Those papasans are really something. We have one that we love, but the new swingsan is really something! A supremely comfy chair and a swing all in one. I may have to go check that out as well!
(Don’t forget to follow them on Pier 1 Tweetups!)
Happy decorating, bloggy buddies!

AFRICAN CATS
April 7, 2011 by 1 Comment
An epic true story set against the backdrop of one of the wildest places on Earth, “African Cats” captures the real-life love, humor and determination of the majestic kings of the savanna. Narrated by Oscar®-nominated actor Samuel L. Jackson, the story features Mara, an endearing lion cub who strives to grow up with her mother’s strength, spirit and wisdom; Sita, a fearless cheetah and single mother of five mischievous newborns; and Fang, a proud leader of the pride who must defend his family from a rival lion and his sons. Disneynature brings “The Lion King” to life on the big screen in this True Life Adventure directed by Keith Scholey and Alastair Fothergill (“Earth”). An awe-inspiring adventure blending family bonds with the power and cunning of the wild, “African Cats” leaps into theatres on Earth Day, April 22, 2011.
During the film’s opening week (April 22-28), a portion of the proceeds from that week’s ticket sales will be donated to the African Wildlife Foundation through the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund to protect the Amboseli Wildlife Corridor, a passage between the Amboseli, Tsavo West and Chyulu Hills National Parks that is frequently used by lions, cheetahs, elephants, zebras, giraffes and a host of other animals in the African savanna.

Great Train Robbery
It’s back! Be on guard as the Great Train Robbery is rumored to take place at the Strasburg Rail Road April 10, 2011. Passengers aboard the 3:00 p.m. train should be on the lookout for a gang of robbers targeting the Strasburg area. To protect the passengers, law enforcement will be on hand to keep the peace and see that justice is served. Passengers should be warned that this trip is filled with theft, scandal and plenty of laughs.
Guests aboard this Strasburg Rail Road train will recognize the robbers by their early 20th century dress. The robbers, who are really improvisation actors from Act 1 Productions, will be mingling with guests at Strasburg’s train station, shops and on board the train. The unsuspecting passengers will be given “loot” to carry on the train, only to have it taken from them during the ride.
As the robbers move from car to car, they will interact with the passengers and try to swipe some loot. As the passengers give up their loot, they can also hand over real cash – all for a good cause. All money collected on the train will be donated to the Woge’s Warriors, a Relay for Life team based in Lancaster, PA. The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease.

Branson, anyone?
April 3, 2011 by 9 Comments
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Hiltons of Branson for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
I don’t know about you, but every time I see a brochure for Branson, MO? I just want to pack a bag and be on my way. It looks like a great spot for family fun and great entertainment! I have been getting mailers from them for about 2 years now, and it always looks like such a blast! Branson has live shows that will fit anyone’s taste- there has to be something for everyone, because they have just so many shows! Tribute to John Denver, Gospel, Country music, Acrobats of China featuring the New Shanghai Circus, the 12 Irish Tenors- really- something for any taste.
Known as the “Live Music Show Capital of the World,” Branson, MO is also a fun one of a kind family vacation destination! Less then a day’s drive away from home for about 1/3 of Americans, and now offering all sorts of air-fare deals to the new Branson Airport as well as the Branson-Springfield Airport- your vacation awaits! With events like Kids Day Camp, Talent Contests, Bridal Shows, Cooking with the Chef- there is so much to do and see, you man need a second trip to accommodate all the fun!
Right in the center of it all, are the Hiltons of Branson! And you know you can trust a quality hotel like the Hilton. Considering that Branson is the perfect, wholesome spring break destination for a family, and you want to be able to relax and enjoy your stay (and your sleep!) while on vacation and not worry about where you are staying- what kind of place it is, how far away it is from all the attraction you want to see? What better place to stay than the Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing or the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel. Both the Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing and Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel are currently offering fantastic packages that include two adult tickets and two children’s tickets (ages 4 to 11) for two full days of fun at Silvery Dollar City. It also includes a $25 food and beverage voucher for Level 2 Steakhouse located on the second floor of the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel. This two-night, three-day package starts at $455.00 plus tax. It’s just another way Hilton is making family fun even more affordable. Enjoy being in the midst of all the action by booking your stay at either hotel today!
Here are a few ideas I have about a fun filled day in Branson:
My day would start with a cup of joe at Jammin Java where quality coffee is served in a sustainable local environment. After this we would check out the playground on the grounds of the hotel, get some relax time, until lunch. For lunch we would go to Famous Dave’s Bar-B-Que, where they have the best ” ‘que”, yum. Then have a nice afternoon shopping and seeing some local sites, take a nice walk around the neighborhood and get a real understanding of Branson. We would end our wonderful day in Branson at Ernie Biggs Dueling Piano Bar and Grille, an actual sing-along piano bar, how awesome is that!!!

Mickey’s Magic Show- my review :)
March 31, 2011 by 7 Comments
Want to make a smile appear on your child’s face? You could wave your wand, and say some magic words- or you could take them to go see Mickey’s Magic Show! Child friendly magic, with tricks and illusions that will make your little one dance for joy and sit perfectly still in anticipation. Micky Mouse and friends will capture your little one’s attention from start to finish! Mickey and his friends have a great magic show to put up, and they get some assistance from some of your favorite Disney characters, like Jasmine, Cinderella, Alice, and some new friends, too. Of course, no show would be complete without Minnie Mouse! That would be like peanut butter without jelly. Let’s not forget one very important person- Fairy Godmother! She comes along to remind us of some very special magic words she likes to use, and helps save the day for a certain princess. Goofy and Donald are there as well, learning to preform their own tricks, and working them out on stage. Even when there is a little “goof up” with some of the magic going awry, Mickey and friends can get it right back on track with a little help from each other, and some audience participation. My 3 year old loved this show, he was yelling out magic words, clapping at the amazing feats preformed, and of course, we have had a little magician since getting home. Everything is just ripe to be “magic-ed” (his words!)
My Little Man had a blast at Mickey’s Magic Show, and if you have a Mickey lover- or a Disney lover (and who doesn’t?) at your house, then your child will love it, too. Check the schedule and get your tickets HERE!
Have a Magical Day!
