JumpStart Wii Game Review and GIVEAWAY!!!!

For years, JumpStart has been creating games for kids. Their new Wii game, JumpStart Get Moving: Family Fitness had my four year old glued to the Wii! JumpStart has combined family fun with fitness expert, Brooke Burke.

Similar to Jumpeez on www.jumpstart.com, you get to design your character from their hair to their shoes. You also get to choose the type of environment you play in (beach, Egypt, etc.).

There are more than 15 sports challenges, and Brooke Burke gives you tips throughout the game and also demonstrates moves. You can use the balance board, Wii remote and Nunchucks. You can play a series of games or choose more players to go head to head.

Game categories include volleyball, basketball, racing, football, baseball and many more!

My Daughter's favorite game, hands down, was baseball. She enjoyed being able to swing the "bat" and try to hit the target. I love the fact that technology is incorporated with the fitness aspect and is geared toward children.

Here are some images from the game:

PINBALL


BICYCLE RACE
BASEBALL

WINNER of Baby Dipper Bowl Giveaway!!

Congratulations to Lindsay S. for winning the Baby Dipper Bowl!!! Thanks so much to everyone who participated!

Baby Dipper Review and Giveaway

The Baby Dipper Bowl has been a life-saver for me. I am often confronted with the challenge of feeding my one year old. Either I am holding the spoon and the bowl so that she does not spill anything on the floor, or I am constantly wiping up the spill she made by tipping the bowl over. The Baby Dipper Bowl has rescued me!

My hands are free, and I don't have to hold the bowl while I try to feed her. I can also let her practice feeding herself and not have to worry about the bowl tipping over! No more picking up cheerios and baby food off the floor!

The Baby Dipper Bowl is heavier than most bowls, has a contoured interior, a non-slip base, a spoon-shaped lower corner for easy scooping of food, and colorful, transparent sides. The spoon fits into her hands perfectly, and I don't have to worry about the bowl sliding around the high chair tray!

Feel free to follow Baby Dipper on Facebook, Twitter, or sign up for their newsletter.

GIVEAWAY!!!!

One lucky reader will win a Baby Dipper Bowl! All you have to do is tell me how the Baby Dipper Bowl will help ease your frustrations while feeding your child. PREVIOUS WINNERS OF BABY DIPPER BOWLS SPONSORED BY BABY DIPPER, LLC ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO WIN! Please leave your email address!!!!
Giveaway ends midnight EST Friday, June 26, 2010.

GOOD LUCK!

Yoplait Greek Yogurt Spa Giveaway Winner

Cheryl at The Lucky Ladybug Congrats!!!!

Yoplait Greek Yogurt Spa Giveaway

Sometimes you need to unwind and find your inner goddess! As a busy mom of two, I know all too well how much a few moments to yourself can help you to rejuventate. For me, a long hot bath surrounded by scented candles does the trick. Yoplait and MyBlogSpark have given me the opportunity to review the Yoplait Greek Yogurt and host and awesome giveaway.

Yoplait teamed up with Izabella Miko who plays the Greeek Goddess Athena in the Warner Bros. Pictures' and Legendary Pictures film new epic feature film "Clash of the Titans." Yoplait 'Greek Yogurt has 12 grams of protein and comes in strawberry, blueberry, honey vanilla and plain flavors.

I was given two VIP coupons for two cups of Yoplait Greek Yogurt. The store nearest to me only had the plain and the honey vanilla left so I tried those. The yogurt has a very thick texture, although its creamy. I was not fond of the plain yogurt and was pretty disappointed in the chalky taste. On the other hand the vanilla honey is delicious, and I would consider trying it again. The texture was thick, but not as thick as the plain yogurt and there was a great balance of flavors.

GIVEAWAY!!!!!

I was given a Nourish Your Inner Goddess Gift Pack from Yoplait and MyBlogSpark. The gift pack contained a terry cloth robe with velcro attachment, slippers, a towel and other great spa items to help you relax.

One lucky reader will be given the chance to win a Nourish Your Inner Goddess Gift Pack along with two VIP coupons! All you have to do is tell me how you nourish your inner goddess!

Crafty Baby Nap Pack Review

Jill from Crafty Baby was kind enough to send me the pink dots Nap Pack for review. My daughter loves it and takes it everywhere! The fleece blanket is approximately 48 inches long, with a rectangular 11" x 16" pillow attached to the top. It is designed to fit on a preschool mat but my daughter uses it for playtime and nap time at home. Just lie down on the blanket and pillow and cover yourself with the other half of the blanket. Easy!

The best part about it is that it has velcro straps, and my daughter can roll it up and put it away on her own. Talk about being independent! No clean up for mom! No extra pillows, no extra blankets, no mess! This nap pack is designed for children ages 2-7 and comes in many different designs for boys and girls.

WysiWipes Daily Giveaway and One Week Trip Grand Prize!!!

I received two packs of WysiWipes for review. They have been such a convenience for me. I have used them around the house and on my children. I even used them at a get-together for wiping things down and my baby's face and hands. I also used them on my laptop screen.
So many uses for one little wipe.

The best part is that the wipes are environmentally friendly being that they are biodegradable, all natural, and disposable. You can even re-use them. You just add a small amount of water to a tablet and it turns into a cloth. You can use other liquid such as disinfectant and use as an antibacterial wipe. The size is so convenient for fitting into a small purse or diaper bag. I even stashed a few in different places around the house for when I need them. The cloths are very soft and scent-free.

WysiWipes also come as a Wysi Cloth 10 Roll, a Wysi 12 Travel Pack and a Wysi 100 piece bag.

Check out the video and you will see why this product is so great.

GIVEAWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Wish My Scale Was Off by 50 Pounds

*Sigh*

I had my daughter 11 months ago and I was doing so great. I was working out, eating better, and losing weight. I lost over 20 lbs and things were looking up. Now I am almost back to my pregnancy weight. Ugh! Actually, only 6 lbs away from it.

It's not all my "fault" though. My husband was hurt in Iraq and came back early, I had to drive around this island from this place everyday from appointment to appointment, and I just didn't make time to keep up with the weight loss routine I had established. I did so much snacking during the day and basically stopped almost cold turkey with the exercise. I've also done a lot of stress and boredom eating. Fast food places were not far from reach while I was driving from place to place and I indulged on a bunch of crap!

I went shopping today for my trip to the mainland and decided to try on a few things only to discover that I had gone up a pant size AND a shirt size. Major blow!

I have made a vow to myself to get back on track and lose this weight for good. Join me on my journey, or at least send some positive vibes my way!
