Build-A-Bear Workshop #Review @BuildABear #HolidayGiftGuide #SantasWorkShop #Spon

Disclaimer: I received product to facilitate a review, all opinions are my own.

Build-A-Bear Workshop has my son's favorite Stuffed Animals.  Even as a newborn we had Pawlette.  It was Pawlette that created his love of Stuffed Animals. 

Our favorites tho are all the Limited Edition Friends. Right now there are Even Santa, and his Reindeer! Along with Frosty the Snow man. My little Ponies, Disneys Frozen, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and other kids favorites to dress, and befriend.

During the Summer we received Toothy Shark (He was also a PUPPET) to review.  My 3 year old Loves him to pieces.  

As you can see, Toothy is pretty unique, and fun.  I love Toys that are playful, along with details.  My son examined, and started to pretend to Chomp Toothy back.

Another fun idea is to Buy Build-A-Bear Bucks, and use them in store, Click here to find a location near you. Build-A-Bear Bucks would make ideal stocking stuffers!

#Win a Pair of KidOFit Shoes! #Giveaway #Spon #HolidayGiftGuide

An original review by Mom's Gone Bronson!

One of the most important things you could buy for your children as they develop [through any stage] is a good pair of SHOES and when it comes to the best, KidOFit really have raised the bar!

Not only are KidOFit shoes beautifully designed and a real treat to look at, but they are comfortable, good fitting and healthily designed for the best feel and use, while brightening up those tootsies at any occassion!

I received a pair of high topped shoes (Tulip) from KidOFit this past week and I was impressed with them before I even opened the box! The presetation of the shoes in their cute little box, neatly wrapped with tissue paper made them feel very special and my daughter was excited to get to the shoes!

The shoes, which are purple colored high-top shoes, with a pretty floral embellishement on the easy to use strap closure!

Inside the box, alongside the shoes, comes 2 sets of inserts, which are designed to make the fit of the shoe much better by either using 1 insole or the other, which provide a slightly different fit, OR both insoles together for a third fit all-together!

My daughter is a size 8 to 8.5 and so I ordered the 8.5 and we used both inserts inside the shoe to make them a nice, cozy fit!

This particular design is so pretty that they can dress up an outfit for an occassion or be worn every day as a well-fitting, practical-yet-pretty shoe! KidOFit shoes also have a Baefoot Sole™ design with a unique, thin, flexible TPU for natural motion akin to walking with bare-feet!

KidOFit shoes do not stop there, either! The soles of these shoes have a clear design so that it is easy to see where the child's feet/toes land at the end of the shoes to make sure that they have a properly fitting shoe! They also have a wide-fitting shape to allow for natural foot function and wiggle room for those tootsies!

Overall I am so thoroughlly impressed by these shoes and feel that they are so worth the money you pay to buy them! They are just the sweetest pair of shoes and my daughter has wanted to wear them daily since they arrived - they are so easy for her to put on and offer by herself, which promotes her independant streak and they compliment many of her dresses for a party look or her pants for an every-day play-at-he-park feel, too!

Innotab Max #Review #ChosenByKids @Walmart Toyland Event Visit #HolidayGiftGuide @VTechToys #Spon

I received product, and compensation from AMP & Sverve for my opinion, and photos. Most importantly, My son's reaction to the Toy!

Walmart In-Store Toyland Event, and V-Tech Innotab Max (Mine was $84 on Rollback!!) Review. Some stores have these Tablets for $120.00+ ( Learning Tablet was on his Christmas List. So it was nice to be able to see how well he interacted with it in store at the event.)

There is nothing better in life than a happy, content Toddler using a Learning Tablet!

The Walmart In-Store Toyland Event was a blast! Not only was the Toy Testing area fun, it was also very interactive. From the voice activated animated Olaf, RC Tumbler Car, Nerf Guns, Light up FLYING! Flutterbye Fairy, and most importantly, my 4 year olds favorite, the V-Tech Innotab Max. What made this event different was the fact the Children were allowed to test the Toys, and actually play with them.  I only went in for the Innotab Max, but ended up buying the Vtech Innotab Max Tablet, and the RC Tumbler Car too.(The RC Car I only paid $9.97 for!! It does 360 Circles!!) He didn't want to put down the Tablet while in the store.  He was amazed at the Penguin Game. It will be fun to add going to the Toyland Event each year to Our Holiday Traditions.

Setting up the Innotab Max was as simple as plugging it in, allowing it to update (literally a few minutes, connecting my Wifi, and adding my son's favorite Sites to the Allowed Websites (Under Parental Controls) under Favorites in the Web Browser.  

It also comes with a year warranty (Covers Malfunctions/Product Error Not User) However, Walmart does offer a Warranty that covers everything else too that can be purchased. 

I thought it was pretty awesome that the Max came with a game cartridge, and 2 free Game Downloads once registered.  

• HDMI Connection (Can connect to other devices like TV's, and Stream using the Innotab Max.
• MicroUSB (Add more Storage!, or Images & Videos to the Tablet!)
• Ability to Lock, Unlock, and Add Webpages to Surf.  There are already preloaded Kid Approved Sites, but it's nice to be able to add Any Site!
• The Removable case can be folded to create a stand.  There is also a handle on it too.
• The Camera can rotate 180 degrees.  
• Fast Charging Lithium Battery.
• Based on Android 4.2 Content. Includes 18 Apps.
• Age-Appropriate Content.
• The Stylus has a soft tip Nib on it unlike some of the harder Tip Stylus pens that most Kids Tablets have.
• Easy to use 7" Touch Screen. 
• Free V-Tech Kid Connect to be able to Message (Photos too) Back and forth from Android Phones, and Iphones once the App is downloaded on the device to the Innotab Max Tablet too.
• The Learning Software Library has 650+ Educator-Supported VTech and Android learning Apps.

I am hoping that VTech soon allows you to Download apps from Google Play soon straight to the Tablet, since it is Android Based.  I have my fingers crossed for that.  

And, the thing I think that makes me love this Tablet the most, is it's ease of use for my Son.  He loves it.  He is autistic, and it's fast. It keeps up with him,  Right now we draw with it, make movies, and Watch his Shows.  He also loves the apps that have Music.  I feel hopeful that he will grow with this, and able to use other apps on it himself.  If he didn't like the tablet, he wouldn't even touch it at all. He's pretty ritualistic, and he's taken by this. I am pleased, when he's pleased.

So if you are looking for an inexpensive Childrens Tablet for ages 3 - 9 Years old I definitely recommend the Innotab MAX.  It's the newest series from V-Tech. Right now they come in Blue, or Pink.

The Walmart #ChosenByKids In-Store Holiday Events are over now, but remember to check them out next year!

Inside the locket I had one of my favorite photos of my husband and I engraved, alongside a photo of our beloved dog, Rozz! You can, of course add photos of your chilren, or nothing at all if you want to gift it to someone who might like to add their own personal touch, later!

The locket comes available in several different sizes, with different types of chains [also in differing lengths] and with so many options to personalize it that you really can make something delighful for absolutely anybody, which offers something truly unique and heartfelt to call their own!

If you aren't immediately sure of the photos you would like to add to your locket, you can have it sent without the photos and send it back to include them when you do - you can also cut out your own photos and add them in the same way as you might have in an traditional style locket.

#TastefullySimple Chewy Chocolate Cookie, Perfectly Potato Cheddar Soup, and Nanas Apple Cake #Review #HolidayGiftGuide @tastefullysimpl

I received product from Tastefully Simple to facilitate a review.

I actually loved these mixes.  The thing that I liked most about Tastefully Simple was the fact they encourage you to play around with the basic dry natural mix, and add more natural foods to it. The mix itself tastes good without adding anything else, but it's always fun to add the little things that ya like too!

What also makes this company different than the rest is that they are donating $1.00 for every box of Cozy Chocolate Cookie Mix bought to Help the fight against Kids Hunger in America.  So please go check out those cookies!!

Like the Perfectly Potato Cheddar  Soup Mix,  the box says you can add different meats, and veggies.  I cut up Potatoes, Onions, Shredded Carrots, with some local Virginia Sausage. I didn't change anything to the Soup itself.  I added the 6 Cups of Water, and just let it cook like the box says.  It turned out delicious, and made a lot! I love soup on these colder days.

I also tried Nanas Apple Cake Mix.  I made mine in Mini Loaf Pans.  I chopped up apples in my nutribullet, and used that to the dry mix, along with a few bigger chunks of apples.  I also added some cinnamon, organic vanilla and oat/raisin mix to the tops of the mini loafs while they cooked.

We loved Nanas Apple Cake Mix.  My mini especially.  He kept helping himself to the mini loafs.

There were also the Chewy Chocolate Cookie Mix.  The Cookie mix we threw crasiins in.  Right now, for every Package of Chewy Chocolate Cookie Mix Sold,  Tastefully Simple will donate a dollar to the No Kid Hungry Campaign.

Chewy Chocolate Cookie Mix
Tastefully Simple’s Chewy Chocolate Cookie Mix makes soft, bake-shop cookies loaded with white chips and chocolate chunks, and each box sold helps to support the fight against childhood hunger in America. For every box of Chewy Chocolate Cookie Mix sold (SRP $7.99), the company will donate $1 to Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry® campaign.

Cozy Comfort
TS’s Cozy Comfort gift package makes it easy to send comfort and joy with a trio of mixes for a homemade meal. The pack contains Tastefully Simple’s famous Bountiful Beer Bread Mix®, Nana’s Apple Cake Mix® and Perfectly Potato Cheddar Soup Mix wrapped perfectly in a chocolate colored gift bag.
