Huh?  What?  Umm..

Sit up straight.  Set the table correctly.  Say please and thank you.

These are all things that we try to get our kids to stop saying and start doing by teaching them manners and etiquette.  It’s nice to have a creative way to present a lesson in manners and we hit the jackpot with our recent Barbie Princess Charm School DVD party.  We got together with some friends and had our very own Barbie Princess Charm School Party to celebrate the upcoming release of the new Barbie Princess Charm School DVD coming out in the Fall.

Each guest (aka princess) was given a Tiara, a manners checklist, a table setting placemat, and a certificate of completion of Barbie Princess Charm School.  At the end of the party, all of the guests were given a Certificate of Completion to keep for completing Barbie Princess Charm School!  The girls were so proud!

Review: Moon Dough™ Push n’ Pop Breakfast – Improved Formula!

Age 5-7, New posts, Toys, ,
Moon Dough - new and improved
Moon Dough Breakfast Push n' Pop Play Set

My 5 year old loves to play with Moon Dough™.  We reviewed the Moon Dough™ Barn play set a year ago and still plays with it.   The new, improved Moon Dough™ is easier to clean up, will never dry out, and is wheat-free and hypo-allergenic.

If you are not familiar with it, Moon Dough™ is a molding compound that is easy for little kids to use and shape as it is light weight and is not sticky and gooey.  The biggest difference with the new Moon Dough™ formula is that it doesn’t crumble.  This makes clean up quick and easy.  When my daughter is finished playing with her Moon Dough™ set, she puts the Moon Dough™ back in the supplied plastic zipper bags and tosses it into her toy basket.

Moon Dough Push n' Pop Breakfast play setThe Moon Dough™ Push n’ Pop Breakfast play set comes with 3 popper molds (waffle, toast, pancake), a play mat, 1 twist mold, and 2 packages of colored Moon Dough™.

What Madelyn says about Moon Dough:

  • I like it
  • And..
  • It’s super soft
  • and it’s easy “ta” use and easy to play with and clean up
  • My mom and me did a video..(deep breath).. and mmm..me and my mom played with it together
The Push n’ Pop molds are easy for my 5 year old to operate.  Simply push down gently on the mold and it will pop back up itself.  She found the twist mold easy to use to but it took her a few minutes to figure out that she can twist it to get the Moon Dough™ out.  She was trying to dig the Moon Dough™ out, so make sure you tell your child that he/she can simply twist the mold and the Moon Dough should pop right out.
To clean up Moon Dough simply use a small piece of Moon Dough™ and dab up the small loose pieces up and wipe with a dry cloth.
Moon Dough™ is recommended for children 3 and older.
You can buy Moon Dough™ from Amazon.com, Toys R’ Us, WalMart, and Target.  Set prices vary.

Review: LAND O LAKES® Cinnamon Sugar Butter Spread – YUM!

Food and Drink, ,

My son hates syrup.. “with a passion” I’d always say.  He doesn’t even like to touch a plate or bowl that syrup has been in.  However, he loves butter as does my daughter.  I think it’s appropriate to say to a server at a restaurant, “They’ll have butter with their pancakes please”.   While I was away at BlogHer in San Diego a couple of weeks ago, a package of Land O’ Lakes Cinnamon Sugar Butter Spread arrived at my house via FedEx and my husband and kids didn’t even consider waiting for me to be home before trying the Cinnamon Sugar Butter Spread.  Apparently they are able to make pancakes when I’m travelling but not when I’m home.  Interesting, huh?

Land O' Lakes Cinnamon Sugar Butter Spreak

My husband and son agreed that Land O’ Lakes Cinnamon Sugar Butter Spread is “awesomely amazing”.  My husband didn’t feel like he had to drown his pancakes in syrup like he normally does.  In fact, he didn’t use any syrup!

Land o Lakes Cinnamon Sugar Butter SpreadI LOVE that LAND O LAKES® Cinnamon Sugar Butter Spread has no artificial ingredients and is made from ingredients I can pronounce including cream, sugar, canola oil and cinnamon.

For those of you who are big fans of cooking, LAND O LAKES® Cinnamon Sugar Butter Spread can be used for baking too!

Learn more about how you can add LAND O LAKES® Cinnamon Sugar Butter Spread to your favorite foods at www.LandoLakes.com or on Facebook.  They have some great recipe ideas on the website.

Evenflo booster seat – Big Kid AMP no back booster seat review and giveaway

Age 5-7, Contests, Travel, , , ,

My now 10 year old son rode in a booster seat until relatively recently.  The safe ‘no booster seat’ age is 10-12 years old.  He actually liked sitting in a booster seat because he could see out the window better.  I am 5’1″ and often joke that I should still sit in a booster seat.  I’ve spent about a week reviewing the Evenflo Big Kid AMP no back booster seat and have really enjoyed it.. as has my daughter.  She is too young to use it in the car but has found many uses for it around the house including ‘teacher seat’ and as a ‘booster seat highchair’.. on the floor.  I don’t recommend using a booster seat as a real high chair as it could slide off the chair.

Features of the Evenflo Big Kid AMP no back booster seat include:

  • a cup and a snack holder both with an elastic band so they can hold cups and snacks of just about any size!  Love it!
  • softtouch armrests
  • removable, washable, and wipeable black seat pad
  • soft seat pad
  • available in bright pink, red, and blue

You can buy an Evenflo Big Kid AMP no back booster seat for $25 – $40+ here at Amazon.com.  Watch an interactive demo of the Evenflo Big Kid AMP no back booster seat here.  Learn the booster seat laws of your state here.  You’ve got to love Evenflo for giving parents easy access to booster seat laws for their state.
