Chummies - Unique Friendship Bracelets
From Slap Bracelets to Silly Bandz, it seems there is always a new fashion trend waiting to adorn the forearms of students across the country.
The newest trend in wrist wear is not only fun, it’s for a good cause.
Less than two months ago, sixth-grade teachers Amy Orlando, of Bloomfield Hills, and Kelly Casaccio, of Chicago, spawned their brainchild into a reality — with the birth of Chummies.
Chummies are vibrantly colored, interlocking friendship bracelets meant to highlight individuality and send a message of inclusion. They are sold in coordinating pairs — Peanut Butter and Jelly, Guitar and Amplifier, Sneaker and High Heel, and Macaroni and Cheese — to help complement unique personalities.
Daddy Deserves It- TMNT
Well were in another day of our Daddy Deserves It event and we're doing things a little different today. My review is for items that my oldest son received, but my hubs and my brother loved them as much as my little guy did...so for the giveaway we are offering products for the Men!
TURTLE POWER!! Thats all the rage amongst the young boys, once again. When I was a kid my twin brother LOVED the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. His love for them was very equal to my love of New Kids on the Block ;-) He had all of the figurines, books, clothing, etc.... Well my mom has held onto some of our favorite childhood items and for my brother that of course consists of all of his TMNT figurines. Well about a year ago she got them out of storage for my oldest son to play with, and they quickly became & continue to be his favorite thing to play with when he goes to their house.
Timing can be a funny thing and shortly after my oldest was introduced to TMNT the show hit tv's once again. We don't watch a lot of tv but we can get the shows on Hulu and my son has watched a few of them, he is only 5 so some of them are still a little over the top for him, but its a show that the Hubs will sit and watch with him.
So our big guy has gone crazy for the Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles & I was thrilled when I was given the chance to review their online store. I knew my big guy would be thrilled to receive some TMNT gear, I just couldn't wait to see what his expression would be when they arrived.
I chose to go with 2 t-shirts and the Michelangelo Combat Gear. I am never sure what size clothes to do with for my kids or myself when shopping a new brand online, so for my big guy I chose one shirt in a 5t and the other in a 7t. My guy is 5, but he is very tall for his age, skinny and tall, just like his daddy. :)
When I opened the box with my guy, he was so excited!!! I slowly pulled out one item at a time and he just got more excited with each one. The first shirt I chose is the TMNT Costume Shirt in a 5t. The shirt looked rather small when I pulled it out, but I am learning that my 5 yr old typically takes a size 6 so I would say the sizes are right on mark. The shirt is a little more snug than my guy likes, but I think it looks so cute on him :) And he LOVES that is has the shell on the back.
The second item I chose and the one that my guy was most excited over is the TMNT Combat Gear. I was so excited to see these on the online store. I have seen them several times when out running errands and have almost grabbed them several times for my guy, but kept holding off. SO I was thrilled to see that they would be arriving on my door step. My guy was so eager to try these out. He picked them up right away and has barely put them down, he loves doing little "tricks" with these. He takes them outside to fight the bad guys and just has a blast for hours!!
Lastly I chose another shirt for my guy, this time I went with the TMNT this is Epic t-shirt in a 7t. This shirt is a little big, but he loves the fit of it, and he was so eager to wear it. I had to tell him that he couldn't wear both shirts in the same day, but the next morning he put this one on as soon as he woke up!
You can find all of these items and so many more on teenagemutantninjaturtles.com. Whether its your little one that loves the hits of TMNT or your man, you'll find something they'll love!! For the giveaway one of you can win two adult mens shirts and TMNT turtle shell backpack with 4 eye masks.
Please fill out the entry form below for your chance to win, this giveaway will remain open until Thursday June 6th. Good Luck!
ABC Mouse Review/Giveaway
My oldest son loves using the computer and I am so thankful for all of the great learning tools it can provide. About a year or so ago he started asking me to try out ABCmouse.com . We would always go to look at it and either get sidetracked or I would decide that we need to wait until I could learn more about it to see if it was worth the fee. Time just continued to pass without us getting around to it. So I was so excited when I was asked to complete a review of the site. I knew that my big guy would be so happy when I showed him that he could use it.
I was offered a code for a one year subscription to the site, a value of $80. So one day while my little one's were napping I got on the computer and created my big guys account. The account was so easy to set up and what I really love is that in the one account I was able to create profile's for both of my boy's. So for the price of $80 a year both of my guys can have fun while learning with ABC mouse.
The next day it was raining, which always lends to computer or movie time ;-) So I offered my big guy the computer and when I pulled up ABC mouse he was beyond excited!! He is 5 and had a super easy time navigating the site. With no help from me he was able to figure out where to go and what to do. For the next hour he contently played while his little brother watched.
When I ask my big guy what his favorite thing about ABC mouse is he says : "I got 102 tickets, and I bought 2 brown hamsters. My hamsters crawl around & they nap. And when they run out of water, I give them water & when they run out of food I give them food!" He is always showing me the new hamster maze he has created. So that really must be his favorite thing to do ;-) When I asked him what he learns on ABC mouse he said "well, I got through one Wetland Environment by completing lessons".
We have sat down together a few times just so I can see exactly what he is learning. There are a great variety of games. There are games like Frog Feeder where your child will listen to letter sounds and click on the letter that makes that sound so the frog can catch the letter. Another great learning game is for Sight Words where a sentence will be read to your child and they then find the sight word that is in that sentence. They can also learn really useful things like what makes a plant grow, or about the Seasons of the Year!
Maybe you have a younger one...you will also find Toddler Time on ABC mouse. My 2 yr old has used this a few times now. He loves the songs, especially 5 little monkeys and he also loves the coloring pages. He does need some help figuring out how to use the mouse on my laptop, but he just turned 2 in March, so he's learning :)
As a mom I am thrilled with ABCmouse and it is something that I would definitely purchase for my children to use. A full year for just $80, that's less than $7 a month! Really a great bargain for all the fun & learning your little one's will receive. You can purchase directly from the website & one of you will win a free year subscription for your little one's! Please fill out the entry form below for your chance to win. This giveaway will remain open until Thursday 6/6, Good Luck!

Daddy Deserves It- JLab Audio
I honestly am not sure of the last time I used headphones, I mean earbuds..yes, but headphones ..no. However, my hubs LOVES his headphones, and he has had the same pair forever! I mean, really a LOOONG time. He's had the same pair for as long as I have known him (10 years) and I don't know how many years he had them before we met, but let me just say they have definitely seen better days. Dare I show you a picture???
Told you , its bad! So I knew I really wanted to find him a new pair of good headphones. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to once again work with JLab Audio, you might remember the review I did for them several months back for their JBuddies, my big little guy still loves these headphones and I was hopeful that hubs would feel the same way about the JLab Bombora Headphones.

Damhorst Toys began in 1971 when they manufactured the first ever personalized wooden name puzzle stool that was originally patterned off of a jigsaw puzzle. This family owned, American-made company wanted to give children a boost of hand eye coordination and the drive to master the proper placement of puzzle pieces. The company is now owned by Kris Damhorst and his sister Megin Cassimastis but was started by their parents Don and Carol. Between 1971 to 1998 Damhorst Toys was managed from their home and distributed into toy shops and brought to craft fairs by Carol. The company moved from their home to a larger shop in 1998 and by 2004 Kris and Megin took over full time ownership of the company. The spirit of Don and Carol live on through the vision,creativity, and quality of the Damhorst Toys that are sold and distributed today. Perhaps the most wonderful thing about Damhorst Toys is that their sales are direct so when you are creating an order with Damhorst toys you are speaking directly to Kris or Megin throughout the entire process.
Damhorst Toy's Name Puzzle Stool is available in two sizes (large and small) and in two color schemes (primary and pastel). The small Name Puzzle Stools include up to 8 letters for your child's name, or 7 letters for two names (Example: Ryan Lee or Zoe Jane). The Name Puzzle Stools are made out of wood with a water based, non toxic finish on the stool and the letters. The small Name Puzzle Stool measures 9 X 12 and is approximately 9 inches from the ground, while the large Name Puzzle Stool measures 9 X 20 and is approximately 9 inches from the ground. The large Name Puzzle Stool has a maximum of a 14 letter name or two names with a total of 13 letters. As if the Name Puzzle Stools weren't unique enough, you can even choose to engrave the bottom of them with your own personal message, birth information, quote, or whatever else you would like! Engrave up to 300 characters (9 lines) and give your child an extra special message to look back on into their adulthood.

Nature's Dynamics Review/Giveaway
When it comes to taking vitamins I am honestly the worst. I mean, I take them and I am very passionate about my family taking them, but I am so forgetful! It isn't a habit that I grew up with , so its been hard to make it a daily habit. However, I also know how important they are to take so I try really hard to remember to take mine and to have my children take their's, and to encourage my hubs to take his.
Recently I was given the opportunity to try out some vitamins from Nature's Dynamics for my family. Nature's Dynamics is a family owned and operated company that safely and effectively develops 100% natural whole food gummy supplements with organics for consumers.
