I love Pocoyo! I am sure you all remember my recent post about the Pocoyo Website, as well as the hand-made by Grammie Pocoyo Hat that Little Sported!
(And if you don’t, then sign up for my emails! LOL, Don’t miss super-cute stuff!!!)
Well, now there is a FABULOUS line of Pocoyo toys! Yep, it’s true! Bandai.com has just launched a line of Pocoyo merchandise which is also available at Toys R Us (easy breezy!) and will make your Pre-K sweetie sing with happiness! (And since that is a part of Pocoyo the TV series, to help children appreciate music and creatively express themselves- point made!)
My Little is a Fan, can you tell?
I am a bit strict with the TV, I don’t let my kids watch shows that I consider without value (either educational or social value, I don’t want them watching yuck).
I love Pocoyo, who teaches [Read more…]

Hello everyone in Bloggy Land! It is review time! Today we are reviewing the labels by Applied Labels. These labels are good for many different uses including baby bottles. You can include the date on the bottle to keep bottle from getting mixed up and old milk being used for your little cuddles. They can also be used on a variety of cloth, some are even laundry safe for extended use. Both varieties are removable and can be put on any tag.

Another great feature of Applied Labels is they take special care of their clients who are in the daycare business. Realizing they are going to need labels quickly and in mass quantity. So they have a whole portion of their website dedicated to these brave individuals. There is also a special section for businesses to get personalized attention from their staff.

These labels went through the dishwasher and laundry and did an incredibly good job. I had even taken a label off of an item then reapplied the label.  The item then went through the dishwasher and held its ground. Great adhesive!!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

 Today I am reviewing a great product called Oliver’s labels. They have all kinds of colorful and cute designs and patterns, everything from sea life, to outer space, to London carnations.  Different!  And a mommy can never have too many labels- kids loose everything! 

Also, these labels come in an assortment of shapes and sizes. Including original size, 50mm x 20mm, 2″ x 3/4″, these are great for sippy cups, toys, lunch boxes, etc. The next size they have is mini, 50mm x 7mm, 2″ x 1/4″ which fit great on pencils, pens, scissors. These are perfect for the little ones who continually argue over whose safety scissors are whose. They also have shoe labels, 50mm x 26mm, 2″ x 1″. These are slightly bigger then the originals and come in pairs to fit the inside bottom of little shoes better. If you have little boys who like to throw their stuff in a big pile when friends are over, these work great. Next up are their newest products- Photo labels! No, these aren’t labels that go on photos, but actual labels with photos on them.  (hehe)  They are 50mm x 50mm, 2″ x 2″. You pick the picture and the design and they make super tough photo stickers for you. They can go anywhere from the microwave to the playground.

Overall these labels are of good quality and stand up to the test of little ones quite well. Even the husband couldn’t destroy them.  Now that says something!

I have a GOOD ONE for this time of year!!!  (or any time of year, LOL)
So, if you are like me (and about half of the country!)  you have a few pounds you would like to see gone.  Yes?  Ok, friends, read on!
So, Beauty and the Waist has this SUPER fab product, called “Body Magic“.  It is aw-some!  I looked better then I have in 3 years! 

I have, what I like to call, “Body by Baby”.  Pre-Little Man, I had a waist.  And Body Magic found it!  LOL.  (The top is cut out, the bra is your own, so you know it will fit you!  It might look light it’s all one piece, but nay, nay!  This is great, because we all have different sized chests, and now there is something we can all wear!)

It was not easy to get into the first time, but I do have to say that once it was on, it looked great and I looked good in my clothes!  Ah, the price of beauty, haha.  It did take some getting used to, but the more you wear it, the more you get used to it.  And as a bonus, besides looked great, it helps you actually lose weight!  You will notice that you can move the clasps in as you use it, due to weight loss.  Also, it helps improve posture and strengthens core muscles.
There are great lines for men and women- if you want less support, or different support, there is something for everyone.  A few things I thought some of you may be interested in are the

Postpartum  and Pregnancy Girdles– who can’t use more support when pregnant, and who doesn’t want to
“go back to normal” as quickly as possible? 
Another great option is the “T-Shirt Light”- helps keep you smooth and even, with less support then the Body Magic. 

I also was able to try out the Le Vive Super Juice! 

High in antioxidants, the health benefits are thought to be anti-aging!  (Yay!)  I tried all 3 flavors, and they are pretty good!  For real.  The green one is not for everyone, though, and I thought it tasted a bit like NiQuil, haha.  But the blue and red ones are great! 

Keeps skin and hair healthy, builds the immune system, maintains a healthy blood pressure, controls your blood sugar level, helps lose weight, improves digestion, prevents gastritis reflux and ulcers, improves your memory, keeps joints flexible and healthy, prevents respiratory conditions and maintains overall good health.

I can honestly say they were good.  
I would totally and honestly recommend the  Body Magic and Le’ Vive.  
It would be great to look fabulous at all the holiday parties this year (and think of any reunions coming up!  We all want to look good for those!)

 It’s Hip Hop Baby has a new CD out- Fruit!  This mom wanted to help her son learn faster, and felt that music and movement was the way to go!  As a Pre-School teacher, I feel that music and movement is an important part of learning, and a fun way for kids to learn, grow, exercise, and express themselves.  I personally use Music and Movement several times a week and the kids love it.  I introduced It’s Hip Hop Baby! to them recently, and some of them really liked it.  I did notice that they boys seemed to like it more then the girls, but that could just be a fluke!  My Little Man didn’t really seem too enthused, but Kamikaze liked it, so go figure, haha.  One of the kids took it home overnight, and tonight another one is “borrowing” it.  So I would have to say that is a good sign.
This is not my favorite kids album, but the kids do seem to like it.  Albums where kids sing are not typically albums that I just love, and I don’t love repetitive beats.  Also, the younger kids seem to like it more then the older ones, typically.  However there are exceptions to this- as in my daughter.  She (at 6) likes it more then Little Man, who is only 3.  Children’s music and CD’s are made for little ears and preferences, so it should not come as a shock when adults don’t love them all.  As long as the kids like it, then I’m happy.  The CD is longer then many kids CDs, so you won’t need to keep changing the disc or hitting replay, which is a bonus.
Hm, considering that it is a very long weekend, what would we say are the chances he will bring the CD back on Monday?  LOL, lets hope he does!
