LittlekidsInc Review

Like most children my daughter absolutely loves Bubbles she isn't old enough to blow them herself so my DH & I blow them for her but sometimes if you do too much it will make you light headed I know in my case that is how it happens so sometimes automatic bubble blowers are amazing.



Recently I got the chance to do a review for a company called LittleKidsInc I was sent a box with some Bubble Fun in it.Some of the things I received to review are: The Original No spill tumbler, No spill mini bubble bucket,Big bubble friends in the shape of a cow,Bubble light,Bubble doods,a Jelly belly scented bubble jar,Junk ball baseball set,Bubble vehicle,Adventure wands & a Big bubble wand.My daughter went nuts when she seen this package she either tried tearing open the packages or chewing the packages open there was no stopping her once she got a hold of them,I was most excited to try out the large cow bubble blower it makes nice big bubbles in a stream of 2-8 bubbles at a time each time you place the head back down it makes a 'MOOOO' sound unfortunately my daughter is afraid of the loud mooing sound so she doesn't like the cow as much as I thought but she will learn to love it.I was sad to find out that the Nickelodeon bubble vehicle did not work I used brand new batteries & followed the instructions correctly but all it did was make a loud funny noise & the bubble mixture splattered everywhere but that is the only problem I had with the bubble products.I really like the Original no spill tumbler it has three bubble wands so my DH & I can both use it at the same time,The bubbles are great sometimes depending on the brand i buy some bubble mixtures aren't the best & hardly make bubbles at all they just make your bubble wand icky but the bubble mixture that they sent is amazing I don't think a bubble wand I own has ever made that many bubbles at once.The Jelly Belly scented bubbles smell just like grape jelly beans they smell so good you almost want to eat them.I also really like the bubble light its fun to use in a dark room [well almost completely dark room you still need to see where to dip the bubble wand].I had a fun time working with LittlekidsInc & so did my daughter she loves all of her bubble toys & plays with them almost daily.Best of all everything is affordable & can be bought at stores such as Walmart & Target prices range from $5-$20 **This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

*As a Reminder If you want Early Entries into the next $60+ Goodie bag giveaway here is how: If You see any reviews that have less than 15 comments & you comment on it before the 7th/8th of August you will get Two bonus entries into the $60+ Goodie bag giveaway for August.[Per review you comment].This weekend I will be a little busy so the Review/Giveaways may be posted at odd times I have a lot to do.Family time is always helpful & fun no matter how much or how little time you spend sitting around with each other,Some families are so busy that it seems they hardly see each other so Its always nice to sit down & work with each other on a game,a craft or an activity.



I always love getting to sit down & either create something neat by myself or with a family member.I recently received a wonderful chance to work with a site called Sock Monkey Fun their name gives it all away,Yep you guessed it they sell lots of Sock Monkeys & Sock Monkey accessories.For my review I revived a deluxe Sock Monkey kit to create my own monkey.I have to admit right away that I am not very good at sewing I can stitch tiny holes in shirts & that about covers my sewing abilities so I called in reinforcements to help me create the sock monkey,Who was my reinforcement? My Grandmother came over to help me create my Monkey [Well she cut,& stitched I just stuffed the body parts] The instructions were simple & easy to follow everything is laid out in a photo on the instructions paper letting you know what parts of the sock are the body parts for the Monkey it even had a cute little hat! I was afraid to stuff the monkey too much so I put what I thought was enough it turns out it wasn't so I have a very thin sock monkey he is goofy but I like him.The monkey took a little less than an hour & a half to complete.Each kit comes with two socks,stuffing,eyes,a ball for the hat,a needle,& string plus a birth certificate for your Monkey.I thought the kit was fun to use & very cute it would make a perfect birthday present for a young girl to use with her mother or grandmother.I don't have any Negative things to say about this product because I didn't find anything I didn't like.You can see a Sock Monkey above that is made by Sock Monkey fun & you can see the Sock Monkey my grandmother & I created below yes he is goofy.

CSN Review

I wanted to Thank everyone who has Entered my $60 Goodie Bag giveaway put together by Myself with some of my favorite things including makeup,jewelry & more.I am happy to announce I will be having another Goodie bag stuffed full of goods for you to win on August 7th or 8th.Want Entries EARLY? If any reviews have less than 10 comments & you comment on it before the 7th/8th you will get Two bonus entries[Per review you comment] into the goodie bag giveaway! I know your going to love what is in next months goodie bag.



Summer is slowly winding down,school is starting soon & the weather will start to get cooler over the next two to three months so that means everyone is planning lots of last minute summer fun.My Family & I included,What is a better way to end the summer than with a Big BBQ with lots of friends & family?Some of you may remember the review I did on the American Plastic Toys Home style Kitchen,I had a wonderful time receiving the chance from CSN to work with them,Recently I have a wonderful opportunity to work with them for an end of summer review.For my review I received a 18 Piece Tool Set with Knives in Plastic Case.It arrived perfectly on time,Everything was packaged nicely the set might have been tossed around in shipping because part of the set were popped out of their spaces but everything made it here in one piece.My DH loves this set we have only been able to use the steak knives so far but plan on using this set a lot because we love to BBQ & have our friends over.Everything is made with Stainless steel & very all the tools are a nice size the spatula is huge it is a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be.I was very happy to see that it came with Corn on the Cob 'holders' because it makes eating corn on the cob less of a mess than eating it with your hands only.I like the case that everything comes in it is a nice size to hold everything but still slide under your grill or into a closet.The case has slide closures which I find are easy to open & close even with something in one of your hands.The best part of all is CSN has a ton of really nice BBQ & Grill sets heck even Grills on sale for amazing prices starting at just $25 but that isn't all they offer CSN has OVER 200 stores! that carry toys,clothing,accessories,house goods,yard goods & More there is something for everyone.**This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.
