I think these are a fun gift for children every time they take a step a small flap opens up to show their eyes,for example with the dogs the ears come up and you get to see their face. After checking these slippers out I have found them to be constructed well,Comfortable[Stick my hand in them & "walked" with my hands] and seem like they will hold up for quite some time to come.

PinyPon Mommy Party!



We had a rather busy Thanksgiving weekend, To help my daughter & her cousin along with a some friends unwind after the busy and somewhat hectic Holiday we spent Friday participating in a Mommy Party from the brand PinyPon.

















What is a PinyPon? They are a mini-dolls world inhabited by independent and modern girls, who love fashion, accessories and the newest hairstyles. Shopping is one of their favorite things to do! With their pets, they travel the world in their super-cool van going to new places and making new friends. Pinypon is a colorful collection of interchangeable friends. You can mix and match everything - dresses, accessories, hairstyles and even faces, for tons of fun! We invited some of my daughters cousins and friends over to experience PinyPon and play with a doll of their own,During the party we decorated cupcakes,colored,made home made Christmas cards stacking them in a fashion similar to the dolls using stickers and cut outs from construction paper and of course the girls played with the dolls.



What did the children think of the dolls? They loved them each girl was super excited to open up their new doll and give her a test run the girls were surprised to find that the hair,head,accessories,ect come apart allowing you to swap pieces with other figures. The girls loved the dolls but what did the parents think? Most of the parents enjoyed the dolls everyone thought they were cute,a fun toy to play with because they are mix and match and the best part everyone loved is that they are affordable each doll sells on average for $2.99 a doll and gives hours of entertainment. Part of the party kit included two PinyPon Caravan "Go on a road trip in the super cool Pinypon Caravan -a fully loaded house on wheels! It even has a shower and mirror! Includes a Pinypon colorful friend and loveable pet, lounge chair, surf board, picnic table, picnic accessories and swimming pool for a day full of fun!"



We played with one at the party and the other was used as a raffle prize for one of the lucky children to take home,My daughters favorite part of this toy is that the top part of the van can be taken off & used as a boat in the pool or in the bath tub. Included in the kit they sent two Nenuco "New Born Makes Bubbles" dolls which were also used as raffle prizes. All of the girls had a wonderful time at the party they enjoyed both playing with the PinyPon dolls and spending time together, Before taking photos I asked all of the parents for permission to photograph their children those who said No did not get their photos taken/aren't shown in the party photos to make it easy we had two separate tables set up for the kids so we could photograph one. If you want to check out PinyPon or Nenuco you can do so by clicking on their name to visit their websites. Want to see more photos from the party?

YouCopia Giveaway & Review



Living in an apartment space is limited & one of the places that always seem the most crowded was our spice cabinet it was always a pain having to push aside a dozen spices before finding the one we needed so I was very happy to receive a chance to work with YouCopia on a review & giveaway.



For a recent review I was sent a Chef’s Edition SpiceStack,This product is Ideal for large spice collections, the Chef’s Edition SpiceStack organizes 30 spice bottles in the kitchen cabinet. Clever drawers lower to display labels at eye-level, so you can quickly find your spices while cooking. What are the benefits of this product? It includes 96 (48 printed, 48 blank) drawer labels,it offers organizing spaces for 30 full-size or 60 half-size spice bottles it has Non-skid feet hold unit securely in place & it is already put together so there is nothing to assemble.The spice stack was a little large to fit into my cabinet but it fits perfectly on my counter top next to our stove, This stack makes it simple & easy to find the spice we need when we are cooking. Since we tend to cook a lot I organized my stack by putting the most used spices on the first shelf and descended it down from there I haven't had to push aside any spices in order to find the right one since I received this product and I couldn't be happier I wish I would have bought one sooner. In addition to spice stacks Youcopia also offers Coffee stacks that fit K-cups & Medicine stacks for your bathroom all at low prices. ****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Wonder Forge Review!


My daughter is at an age where she can now understand & enjoy board games the only down side is our board game selection is limited so when I was offered a chance to work with a fantastic company called Wonder Forge I couldn't refuse.



I was recently sent The Enchanted Cupcake Party Game & The Dazzling Princess Game which are perfect for the age range of 3-5 years old. The Dazzling Princess Game gives your little girl the chance to celebrate her favorite princesses and collect sparkling jewels to decorate the bracelet, ring,and tiara included. This is a fun fantasy-filled dress-up game which all little girls will love to play. There is enough in this game for four girls to play at one time & offers half an hour to two hours of game play depending on how concentrated they are when they play. I personally think this game is adorable,but I do have to mention that is has some smaller pieces so I would make sure the girls play in a clean area where the pieces will be easy to pick up. The Dazzling Princess Game retails for $19.99. The next game we played was The Enchanted Cupcake Party Game "You’re invited to a cupcake party with all your favorite princesses! Work together to make as many cupcakes as you can before it’s time for the party. Follow the recipe cards to pick the perfect fancy liner, frosting, and topper. Each cupcake creation is fit for a princess in this sweet game of matching and sharing." I think this is a fun and interactive game to play with your little girl each time you pick a card you build your cupcake(s) based on the color or item on the card,By the end of the game you can have some pretty funny looking creations. The cupcake game is perfect for two players or more if you choose,My daughter loves playing this game, This game retails for $16.99. My daughter & I have enjoyed playing the games we received from Wonder Forge and have played/purchased some of their games in the past my local Target carries them so we always have them close for when were looking for a new game.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Curly Q Giveaway & Review



I am a bit picky about my wall art so when I find a website that offers fun,bright & nice wall art or home decor I book mark it so I can come back and pick up a few things for my home. I recently received a wonderful chance to work with a company called Curly Q who specializes in Wall decals,Clocks,Wall lettering & Holiday decorations.



For a recent review I was able to pick out a few of my favorites from the website,It was hard to make a choice but in the end I decided to get the Butterfly Wall Decals in Black,Bats Halloween Wall Decals in Black & Stars And Moon Wall Decal Set in Yellow. The decals arrived fast & in perfect condition inside of a round shipping tube to keep the decals from being smashed, I was excited to see how they looked in person & how well they worked. The decals are true to how they look in the photos online which is always a great thing to find out because a lot of items look different from the photos shown whether it is size,color,lighting,ect some items just disappoint but these items didn't. Since we live in an apartment & I can't technically stick things like wall decals to the wall I have come up with a different way to display them depending on the image I either put them into a nice photo frame or I will apply them to a semi-thick piece of construction paper or poster board & use a small piece of tape on the back to stick them to the walls. I find it helps keep them in perfect condition longer,Can be moved around more often & can be stored easily when not in use. The decals were easy to apply the peeled off the transfer paper easily & stick very well when you are applying it to the item you would like. My favorite part about wall decals is that it they don't have to go on the wall I have stuck mine on my daughters dresser,Designed her a fun kids table,& more there is an unlimited amount of ways you can use these decals. A major positive aspect about Curly Q is that the decals are all at low affordable prices keeping your wallet happy and your walls looking their best. Curly Q offers a variety of Kids decals,House decals and Holiday decals along with some very cute wall clocks.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.
