Fun Giveaway: Leapfrog’s Peek-a-Shoe Octopus and Story Time Pad

Mercedes — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 19:54:56 +0000

This Peek-a-Shoe Talking Octopus from LeapFrog was a real hit with my two year old. She likes to put the balls inside the octopus and play peekaboo as to which of the toy’s leg the ball drop down to, in the process hearing the number spoken out loud. This toy has three different settings: color, counting and music. The songs are very entertaining and of course catchy that kids can easily pick up. You can control volume and mode and the toy has an auto shut off to save on batteries. This toy is designed for children 12-36 months old. You can get this toy right now for just $15 from Amazon. That’s 50% off!

This Story Time Pad can be customized with your kid’s name, age, favorite colors and more. This toy holds up to five stories that can be read to your little one by any of the 4 characters available: Scout, Eli, Violet, and Penny. In addition there is also an alphabet button that plays letter sounds. This toy is designed for children two and up.

Like with the Peek-a-Shoe Talking Octopus from LeapFrog you can connect this toy to the Leapfrog website and get your kid’s own learning path with suggestions on how to enhance his learning.

You can get this Leapfrog Story Time Pad for 33% off right now on Amazon or $19.96. Both ship free with Amazon Prime or with Amazon Super Saver shipping with a $25 order.

Win it!

One lucky reader will win one Story Time Pad and one Peek-a-Shoe Talking Octopus.

Review and Giveaway: Leapfrog’s Leappad

Mercedes — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 18:25:51 +0000

The new Leapfrog Leappad is a great durable tablet alternative for kids. This Leappad has provided them with learning games and their own little tablet to play and to hold. While it has also provided me with relief that they can play with it without me overly worrying about what will happen to it if they drop it.

My children have enjoyed all of the features in this leappad. It is a very neat little toy. The bigger screen that the leapster is a big plus. It makes it better for sharing the experience with siblings and also better for enjoying the toy itself.

A huge plus for me on this toy is that the games are interchangeable with the leapster games. That is a HUGE plus considering that we have put in a significant investment on those games and it is great that they can still use them on this leappad. I am very impressed with that decision by the makers of this toy.

The leappad is very easy to figure out even by little kids. I have a 6,4 and 2 yo and my two year old has had tons of fun with the camera and editing that you can do on photos on the leappad. And it has been great to see all three of them taking pictures and capturing video of each other.

However, in my opinion the leappad could be improved by adding an internal rechargeable battery. My children have loved playing with this toy which means they want to play with it often for long periods of time which means going through a LOT of batteries. Yes, rechargeable batteries are the alternative but they don’t hold up very long. You can purchase a AC adapter as a separate accessory and that way children can play while the toy is plugged in. That is an alternative but it undermines the portability of the toy.

If conclusion great educational toy for children. But plan on investing on rechargeable batteries and getting the AC adapter.

Win it!

Back to School Giveaway: Amy Michelle Bag

Mercedes — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 21:30:35 +0000

Amy Michelle Go Totes makes versatile bags great for baby, work and travel. You really have to check them out, but these are chic bags that may serve as a diaper bag, computer bag or travel bag.

They have different models available, so you should be able to find one that fit your needs and likes. However, they all have the same thing in common: they are made to help you organize your busy lifestyle. I received an Iris bag and this bag is full of handy pouches and inside zippered and non-pockets to keep everything organized inside the bag.

The Iris bag would be great as a diaper bag or as a computer bag. I don’t have a need for a diaper bag but I am happy to see that the inside will easily accommodate my 15 inch laptop. All the pockets will help keep me away from making a mess of all the cords, phone and computer mouse I need. Let’s not forget about the wallet, sun glasses, make up etc. There is a spot for everything in this bag! The only thing I would wish for is that they had it available in tons of different colors. This is a cute and useful bag all in one.

Win it!

One lucky reader will win one Iris Bag from Amy Michelle Go totes. To enter you can:

1. Leave a comment sharing what you would use this bag for if you were to win it.

Back to School Giveaway: $100 Restaurant.com Gift Card (Three Winners)

Mercedes — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 19:00:38 +0000

Many of you are big fans of Restaurant.com because you know you can use it to eat out for a lot less. For those of you who have not tried using Restaurant.com, then let me fill you in.

You can buy discounted gift certificates to restaurants in your area on Restaurant.com. To boot, this website often has available additional discount codes that help you get even better deals on these certificates. However, you must make sure to read the fine print on these gift certificates. The fine print varies by offer and sometimes requires a set minimum purchase or the offer is valid for eating in. To be fair too, these certificates require that you tip on the full amount of your bill, before you apply the gift certificate. That is right thing to do in my opinion, as there is no reason to cut the waiter/waitress from his or her tip.

Win it!

One lucky reader will win one $100 Gift Certificate to Restaurant.com. There will be three winners. You can use this GC to buy a voucher to any restaurant near you. To enter you can:

1. Leave a comment sharing what your favorite cuisine is (Mexican, Italian, American, etc.)

For additional entries (leave an additional comment for each one you complete)

I don’t feed my family frozen dinners at every meal, but they come to my rescue every now and then.

After it is ready, the order is shipped within 36 hrs after being made.

You can find Michael Angelo’s Single Serve and Family Sized Meals at Walmart Stores nationwide priced around $9.49. You can choose from the following six Family Serve: Meat Lasagna, Eggplant Parmesan, Chicken Piccata, Vegetable Lasagna, Shrimp Scampi and Italian-Style Sausage and Meatballs.

Back to School Giveaway: Snapware Food Storage Package

Mercedes — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 13:00:35 +0000

I will admit that plastic containers are my friends. I love that how simple they make my life. After dinner pick up is as quick as popping out a container and throwing any leftovers in there. Snapware food containers are perfect for school lunches as they offer a tight lid that snaps into place. It is easy to open while keeping lunchboxes free from spills. All food containers are BPA-Free, Dishwasher, Microwave and Freezer Safe.

Snapware also specializes in storage and organization solutions for the home. These are just to contain toys! I don’t tell this to my kids, but Lego pieces are my archenemy, lol. So, anything to keep those little buggers contained becomes my instant favorite product.

This line of Home Storage boxes is modular, stackable design works well in closets and pantries, as well as game rooms, basements and garages. The Home Storage collection is also BPA-free and comes with an adhesive labeling system. This was my favorite because I was able to label one item for each of my sons.

Snapware products are available at a variety of retailers including Kohls, Target, Amazon.com, Costco, and more.

Win it!

Snapware® Airtight Food Storage 18-Pc Set

Father’s Day Giveaway: Otterbox Prize Pack

Mercedes — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 19:01:14 +0000

If you have any precious electronic gadgets you would like to keep from getting damaged, I have one word for you: Otterbox. Otterbox cases include an innovative three layer design that protects your device from bumps, drops, scratches and dust.

I feel confident that my kids are not gonna bust the ipad they play with since it is protected by an Otterbox Defender series case. This thing is rugged and there is no getting through it. I had been really paranoid about letting my three year old even hold it, particularly because you know little hands are often letting go of things. But since I put it in a defender series case I have no more worries.

Otterbox sells cases for Apple, Nokia, Blackberry, Motorola, Samsung, Dell, LG and more products. If you have any electronic devices you want to protect, stop by the Otterbox website and checkout the different series they have available. But for devices that are going to get a lot use (and possibly abuse ) I highly recommend the defender series.

Win it!

Two lucky readers will win their choice of an Otterbox case , up to a $50 value. To enter you can:

1. Leave a comment telling me what case you would get if you won..
