Minnie's Bowtique

It's the grand opening of Minnie's Bow-tique, a store jam-packed with every kind of bow and bowtie imaginable. The selections include: the "Glow-Bow", a bow that changes color with every mood; the "Grow-Bow", a bow that grows to tremendous size by just adding water; flying "Butterfly-Bows"; and a "Photo-Bow" that snaps instant pictures. Problems arise when Pete, embarrassed about buying a lady's bow for his favorite aunt, causes a few accidental mishaps in the new store.

However, super salesperson Minnie finds the perfect bow for Pete. The Bow-tique's grand opening is a success - and it all ends in a Big Bow Show with the Clubhouse gang modeling the latest fashions under the biggest bow of all, a colorful, sky-high Rain-Bow.

My daughter, at 2, absolutely loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, so I was excited to be able to review this new release from Disney, which also includes 3 other episodes of the hit children's show including Minnie's Pajama Party which is a never-before-seen-episode. Minnie's Bowtique was a fun episode for my son and daughter and I to watch together. The friends checked out all of the special bows Minnie had in her store. When Daisy tried on the Mood Bow she asked for Donald's help in testing it out. She asked Donald to make her angry, which he did by making a face at her (the bow turned red!). I had to smirk when Daisy then asked Donald to make her happy and he remarked how that would be tricky or difficult (I can't remember the wording). Thanks for the chuckle Disney, indeed it's always easier for a man to make a woman angry than it is to make her happy, lol!1 reader is going to win Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Minnie's Bowtique on DVD!

Love For Your Little Spud

Seriously now, how cute is this Mr. Potato Head? This spud comes complete with bare feet (so cute), two arms, eyes and nose, an arrow head-gear accessory and of course two cherub wings. My kids love Mr. Potato Head and were excited to add this silly character to their collection.You can purchase Mr. Potato Head Sweetheart Spud online of course, but I also happened to see this little guy at Walmart today as well. He's out there just waiting for you to pick him up for Valentines Day. I read online about adults buying them as gifts for each other, a silly little gift for someone special. I think I'd have cracked up if my husband got me this before we had kids - brilliant idea!1 reader is going to win Mr. Potato Head Sweetheart Spud from Playskool!

Chicken Soup for the Soul - True Love

I'm a sucker for a good love story, but not a big fan of Valentines Day. I think the day is great, and having an excuse to eat chocolate works for me, but setting aside just one day to celebrate those that you love doesn't seem quite right. True Love, 101 Heartwarming and Humorous Stories about Dating, Romance, Love and Marriage from Chicken Soup for the Soul, is a book that celebrates the love that surrounds us 365 days of the year. Just as the plot of The Time Traveller's Wife or The Notebook make me sigh and smile, so do the stories inside this book.

The stories are divided into categories within the book: How We Met, Adventures in Dating, Meant To Be, The Proposal, The Wedding, Keeping Love Alive, Lessons In True Love, Happily Ever After, Gifts From The Heart and Love Everlasting (have the tissues handy for this section!)

One of the most touching stories, "The Last Valentine" by Caroline S. McKinney recounts a daughter's last hours with her dying father. In those last hours, she purchased one last Valentines Day card for her mother, from her father. Shakily, he wrote his name in the card for his wife. The last Valentine. You see, these stories do not need to be magnificent tales of heroic efforts to display how much a man loves the woman he is courting, but rather they share those every day moments (and the humorous ones from the early days of dating) that make life special.
I have 3 copies of Chicken Soup for the Soul - True Love set aside for 3 of my readers! To enter, tell me about a sweet love story you or someone you know experienced. A cute event on a first date, something special said at a wedding, your grandparent's anniversary dance...anything that makes your heart swell like any true love story would!

Head Organics

Launched in 1969 when organic had a whole other meaning, Head Organics is focused on bringing their customers products that are healthy, natural and high performance without a high price tag attached. 100% vegan and gluten-free, Head Organics hair care products are full of the good stuff!


What will you find in Head Organics products? Naturally derived, certified organic ingredients (certified by the USDA National Organic Program), botanicals, EFA's, glycerin, vegetable oils, natural proteins and coconut!


What's out? Pretty much all the ingredients in the shampoos we grew up using - parabens, phtalates, benzyl alcohol, glycols, and sodium laurel sulfate.



While most of us used these chemicals in our haircare products without a second thought, new research is pointing out that not only are these chemicals unsafe for our eco system, they're also dangerous to own own health and wellbeing.

Research has shown that the average woman applies up to 200 chemicals to her skin (yes including the skin on her head) in any given day. Freaky, isn't it? While we can't avoid all chemicals, I can get behind the choice to minimize when I can. Did you know that in the shower, the hot water washes off our skin's sebum (the oily layer that helps protect our skin from absorbing too much liquid) which then makes us especially vulnerable to the chemicals we put on our skin in the shower and right after. So I'm thinking, eliminating chemicals at the same time when our body's own protection is compromised is a pretty smart idea.

I was able to check out a variety of products from Head Organics and have been pleasantly surprised by the results. You see, I've kind of had a grudge against organic or vegan hair products because some of them have left me, literally, tangled up. I joked to my friends that apparently my hair needed those nasty chemicals to keep it manageable.

Head Organics 2-in-1 Shampoo & Conditioner feels just like my regular shampoo in my hair. It's thick, lathers well, and rinses out clean without leaving my hair tangled (thanks in part to the conditioner included I'm sure).

I finish up with Head Organics Leave-In Conditioning Spray in my towel-dried hair. This makes my hair totally manageable and so easy to comb through. Wow! Manageable hair with organic shampoo - this is a winner.

My husband even got to try out a product from Head Organics. The Head Organics Styling Wax replaced the smelly other product he was using before (ok, it replaced it because I threw it out, but I digress). I liked the light scent of this styling wax and my husband liked that it didn't leave his hair 'crusty' the next morning. Check out Head Organics online or keep your eyes open the next time you're at the salon - maybe they carry it and you've never given it a second glance. Your health, and that of the world beyond your drain, are worth learning a bit more.
5 of my readers are each going to win a great hair care set from Head Organics consisting of:

1 - 2-in-1 Conditioning Shampoo (16.9 oz - $16.50 value)
1 - Leave-In Conditioning Spray (8.5 oz - $13.50 value)
1 - Extra Hold Hair Spray - (8.5 oz - $13.50 value)

To enter, just check out the FAQ section at Head Organics and tell me something that you learned about the company and products.

KEEN

I am so not the sporty soccer mom. You're more likely to see me on the sidelines in a chic pair of sandals than a pair of running shoes (or sneakers as my US readers call them). Still, with two energetic kids, it's becoming more apparent that I need footwear to keep up with them, while also protecting my own feet (and back, and more). Just like other products I've used in the past before I knew better, I'd purchase a cheap pair of shoes for family outings and then pay for it in other ways later. Save cash, pay with pain. Doesn't seem to make sense does it?

The first product that KEEN brought to their customers was the Newport - a sandal that could protect toes! From there, they continued making a huge line of shoes for everyone in the family using their unique Hybrid.ology. What is Hybrid.ology? It's basically KEEN's way of ensuring that your shoes have superior fit, comfort, and performance.

When looking for shoes online, the Hybrid.ology info listed with the various styles helps you learn more about why that particular shoe would be useful to you, based on your activities and lifestyle. I am not a super active mama. Hiking is foreign to me (I once took my sister's legs out from under her when I slipped while coming down an incline behind her while hiking) but with two active kids, I need reliable and functional footwear for those occasions when those around me should take cover (Tenille is on the hill...get out of the way!)
KEEN sent me the women's Targhee II to check out! Definitely not my usual style of shoe, but I surprised myself when I slipped them on and remarked on how good the shoes felt on my feet. Unlike the cheaply made shoes I would buy for myself, for sports activities with the kids, these shoes literally felt wrapped around my feet, like they were secure. Stable. What a difference a shoe makes. I'm quite embarrassed to think of the damage I have done to my feet (and legs, and back) wearing poorly made shoes in the past.

Notice the Hybrid.ology info listed with the Targhee II? Using the information provided on the site, customers can see exactly what each style of shoe has to boast about! In this case, the Targhee II shoes are going to keep my feet dry, comfortable, with superior comfort and protection.
It's still (below average...brrr) winter weather here on the Canadian prairies, so I've only worn these shoes indoors to try out the fit and comfort so far. I can't come up with the right word to describe how sturdy, cozy, and supported my feet feel in these shoes! Based on that comfort, I can't wait to get out this spring for walks with the kids. Who knows, maybe I'll attempt hiking this summer again. If my sister is reading this, consider yourself warned.1 reader is going to win the Women's Targhee II shoes from KEEN in the color of their choice (ARV $115). To enter, just visit KEEN and tell me which other women's shoes are your favorite (take your time, there's so many styles to choose from!)

Kiss My Face

At Kiss My Face, they believe that the best ingredients come from nature (sounds pretty smart to me!) Kiss My Face works to create products that are healthy, contain natural and organic ingredients, are responsible and give customers the greatest product benefit for a good price. I can get behind a company with these kind of values. I've had the fortune of trying a few different Kiss My Face products in the past few months, and am always eyeing the shelves at one of my favorite stores that carries Kiss My Face to see what's new. I was recently sent Big Body Shampoo and Big Body Conditioner from Kiss My Face to try out. I replaced my usual products with these two for the past week. This product states that you can gain results like fuller thicker hair - probably not the best product for me to try because I already have full super thick hair (a bonus and a burden). It did, however, work really well in my hair. My pet peeve about natural/organic shampoos is that they sometimes really tangle up my hair when washing. The Big Body Shampoo from Kiss My Face felt like any other shampoo in my hair (no tangles, yay!) and the Big Body Conditioner worked well to condition and smooth my hair to help make it easy to comb out. I couldn't help but laugh when reading the ingredients - two of them (nettle and sage) promote hair growth! I better stop using this and pass it on to a friend, or I'll be in a world of trouble with this mane. All kidding aside, the lavender and chamomile are a refreshing change from the fruit smell of most of my shampoos. These scents remind me of summer, so they almost feel out of place in my shower in February. If you are looking for a natural shampoo and conditioner combo that won't tangle your hair up, check out the line from Kiss My Face which also includes Whenever Shampoo and Conditioner (in Green Tea and Lime) and Miss Treated Shampoo and Conditioner (in Palmarosa Mint). Perfect for Valentines Day, and any day you're feeling smoochy, the Sheer Organic Opal Shine and Garnet Shine are more than just a lip gloss. A little goes a long way with these - and they provide great coverage and shimmer! I first received these to review during the holidays and was happy to try out these two colors to pretty up my smile this winter. I even managed to get a bit on my husband's lips with a quick peck before he left for work the other night (I was nice though and mentioned that he may want to look in the mirror before walking out the door). 1 reader is going to win a great selection of products from Kiss My Face to green their beauty routine (hey I'm poetic today):

Big Body Shampoo
Big Body Conditioner
Sheer Organic Opal Shine
Sheer Organic Garnet Shine

J.R. Watkins

I was talking to a friend about this yesterday, actually. There are so many great companies emerging (or just being brought to mainstream attention) that are promoting, producing and educating us all on natural beauty products. It's enough to make your head spin - it's like learning a new language when you begin to understand what is worth living without and worth ensuring your product contains. If you are passionate about natural products, the world is your oyster. If you are like me, and are curious to try them out but not ready to clean out your beauty closet just yet, companies that are familiar are an easy place to look.

I checked out the Lip Tints recently from J.R. Waktins and since I have all 4 of the colors available, there's one to be found whenever I need it. The size enables these lip tints to easily slip into pockets, a diaper bag pocket, or my makeup bag.Available in Berry Charming, Tickled Pink, Strike-A-Rose and Simply Maeve-lous, (which was awarded Best Lip Tint in the 2009 Beauty With A Conscience Awards, who knew they had such a thing?) all four lip tints are naturally flavored with pure peppermint oil. I liked all these lip tints because they each gave my lips a little bit of moisture while adding a bit of color. I don't wear lipstick, it's always gloss or tints, so I like when a lip tint has a decent amount of shine as well. Simply Mauve-lous was my fave too. ;)

J.R. Watkins also sent me their Lavender Hand and Body lotion and Lavender Body Oil. I tried the Body Oil first - a few drops are recommended in your bath water or for use after bathing. I decided to try it out after my shower instead of my usual body lotion. It went on way easier than body lotion, being an oil, and did of course take longer to dry. My skin, however, thanked me.


I wouldn't use this every day but I think it would be fabulous for alligator skin on my legs in the summer.

The Lavender Hand and Body Lotion is a product I would get more use out of, as a daily moisturizer.

Make sure you love the scent of lavender though because J.R. Watkins uses a combination of 10 natural oils in this product (including apricot, avocado and jojoba) making it quite aromatic!


If you would like to try J.R. Watkins lotions, one that I would recommend highly is the Lemon Cream Hand and Body Lotion! I received it last year to review and just love it. So much so, that when a good friend's birthday came up in January I purchased her the same Head to Toe Kit I had, because it was the only way I could get her the Lemon Cream (the store didn't have the full sized bottles).J.R. Watkins has a great giveaway for my readers! Pamper yourself with:

Lavender Body Oil
Lavender Hand and Body Cream
Lip Tint in Tickled Pink
Lip Tint in Strike-A-Rose
Lip Tint in Simply Mauve-lous
Lip Tint in Berry Charming

Use all the products yourself, or share the love with your friends and give them a lip tint to try. To enter, just visit J.R. Watkins and take a look at all their other products - what else looks interesting to you?

Pearl Paradise - Treat Yourself for Valentines Day!

This past holiday season, many moms who read blogs for the latest news and info on products were introduced to PearlParadise.com The company did a fantastic job showcasing their products to many influential bloggers and giving readers the opportunity to win jewelry for themselves.

I was sent a beautiful White Freshwater Pearl Necklace to review during the holiday season, and proudly showed it off in our family holiday photo this year.

After years of failed attempts at gift giving, my husband and I have agreed that he won't buy me anymore ugly jewelry, and I won't have hurt feelings about this in the least. Instead, I will choose a specific item I like or save him the trouble altogether and buy the jewelry myself. Unromantic? Maybe. But chocolates and a massage go a long way too.

My husband is off the hook for purchasing jewelry this Valentine's Day, because once again PearlParadise.com has spoiled me. I received a two beautiful jewelry items that now complete my White Freshwater Pearl jewelry collection.

PearlParadise.com has items in a huge range of prices. If you want to start your pearl jewelry collection, earrings are a good first purchase because they are not that expensive. I was sent these White Freshwater Pearl Stud Earrings (7.0-8.0mm size, just like my necklace), which are only $25.00 on the PearlParadise.com site.
When completing an ensemble, or maybe just starting to wear pearls, choosing a bracelet is a great idea. A pearl bracelet can be worn with anything - the final touch on an outfit worn to a special occasion or a delicate way to dress up denim and a sweater.

The 7.0-8.0 m m White Freshwater Pearl Bracelet from PearlParadise.com matches my earrings and necklace absolutely perfectly. The bracelet measures 7.5 inches but can be knotted to a specific length which is really nice. At $61.00, it's perfect for Valentine's Day.

If I were going to a wedding or special event, I would definitely wear all 3 pieces of jewelry at once. However, for other occasions I think it's great to be able to wear one or two pieces of pearl jewelry to dress up an outfit. Out of all 3 pieces, I am getting the most use out of my pearl earrings for sure (and oddly enough they are the least expensive of the three, I'm subconsciously frugal too).

If your curiosity got the best of you and browsing at PearlParadise.com made you fall in love with pearls, you can always bookmark the site for your Valentine, email him the link, or you can be like me and guarantee you're going to get the gift you want and purchase it yourself (I totally did that for my birthday this year). It may not be as romantic to purchase your own gift, but no one said what you had to wear with your pearls on Valentines Day ladies! ;)1 reader is going to win the latest 2 products that I had the opportunity to review from PearlParadise.com - 7.0-8.0 mm Freshwater Pearl Stud Earrings AND a 7.0-8.0 mm Freshwater Pearl Bracelet (total value $86 USD ) in the winner's choice of color! To enter, just visit PearlParadise.com and tell me something else you saw that you would love to receive this Valentines Day (a gift from your Valentine or treating yourself!)

Frecklebox

I'm such a fan of personalized items for my kids. Having a unique name as a kid, I didn't have anything personalized for myself and it was kind of sad. Back then (wayyyyy back, heh.) companies like Frecklebox didn't exist - or if they did they certainly weren't as accessible as they are now! With an easy to navigate online ordering system, creating and ordering personalized items for children is a cinch.

Perfectly themed for Valentine's Day, the Big Heart Personalized Book is a sweet story about how we can show others that we love them.

My daughter is only 2, so although she didn't quite understand the story, she liked the bright colors in the book and of course hearing her name in the story.

My son is 5 and he thought it was great to read his sister this book (talk about a "awe" moment, watching them together!)

The Big Heart Personalized Book is available in both soft and hard cover (we received the hard cover) and of course is one of many personalized items from this easy to work with company. I've always been happy with the quality of the items available from Frecklebox. One suggestion I'd have for this book (and others), I'd love to see some board books from Frecklebox!

We have another book, a poster, and a lunch box among other items from Frecklebox in our household and have been happy with the product every time. An item that I am eager to check out is the Personalized Coloring Books - I want to wait until my daughter is actually coloring though and not a wild woman scribbling with a crayon! Frecklbox is always adding to their product line as well, so keep checking back if you are not entirely decided on a design (I just noticed that the Personalized Lunch Boxes are now available in a Princess theme which they didn't have this Fall!) Ahhh, I want too many items!
Frecklebox is giving 1 of my readers the opportunity to win their choice of ANY ITEM from their site! Pick up the Big Heart book or maybe check out the Personalized Growth Charts or other great items, it's entirely up to you! To enter, simply browse the site and then leave me a comment here telling me exactly what you would pick if you won!

Air Bud - Golden Receiver (Special Edition)

(Movie Summary) Now you can kick off all-star family fun with the heartwarming Air Bud: Golden Receiver Special Edition,featuring exclusive all-new bonus action: Sports Channel play-by-play quarterbacked by the Buddies! This time out, Buddy, the hoop-shooting, hotshot canine, tackles a new sport—football. When his teenage owner reluctantly becomes the school’s new quarterback, Buddy catches the spirit and joins the team. Soon, the two find themselves leading the Timberwolves to the state championship.

But victory hopes are sidelined when two sinister Russian circus owners take a bite out of everyone’s plans and dognap Buddy for their star attraction. Give three cheers for Disney’s hilarious hit that goes the whole nine yards for outrageous fun and adventure.

We are new fans of Air Bud, and the Buddies, in our household. We were first introduced to these comedic and cute canines during the holiday season, when we reviewed the DVD release of Santa Buddies. My 5 year old has the Santa Buddies poster up in his room, so when we received Aid Bud Golden Receiver Special Edition on DVD, he was eager to check it out. My daughter, being a typical two year old, loves all animals right now so she was happy to sit and watch this with us as well (!!!) Bonus features include the Buddies Sports Channel (check out a clip below!)


This was actually a perfect movie for the whole family, since football is my husband's high school sport. The movie's storyline was easy to follow, though a little 'old' for my son since it focused on belonging and dealing with high school social issues but Air Bud, and the special sports commentators the Buddies, keep everything light and fun for the most part. The bad guys (as my son called them) were funny and had a few show-stealing moments, but overall Air Bud captures the viewer's hearts and I can see why the Air Bud (and now Buddies) movies have been so successful. We'll be keeping our eye on them now when we rent movies, and of course new releases. Catch Air Bud Golden Receiver Special Edition (complete with a souvenir whistle!) on DVD today, Feb 2nd!
1 reader is going to win Air Bud - Golden Receiver Special Edition on DVD! To enter, just leave me a comment here telling me who you'd like to win this for!
