Zazoo Kids Review

I was recently sent the Zazoo Kids Photo Clock for review and I am so excited to share it with you!
 
 

 
I have 3 younger children who all are trying to stay up late past 10pm and wake up before 5 am, Why won't kids just trust me when I say one day you'll want sleep more than anything else! Well with that being said you can clearly see why I was so excited to try out Zazoo Kids Photo Clock to see if it would help my little munchkins sleep better!!
 
The clock displays images which clearly identify waking hours and sleeping hours so your little one knows when it’s time to go to sleep and when it’s okay to get out of bed in the morning. That means, if all goes well, I get a little more sleep in the morning until the ZAZOO changes to wake time at 7 AM.  Yes, please!!!!
 

 
The ZAZOO photo clockTM  is the contemporary multi-functional answer for your early risers.  For young children who wake too early or do not stay in bed all night, this is the solution for you.
The multi-media features ensure the clock will grow with your child for years and years of use. The alarm clock, rotating digital photo frame, music & audio book capabilities make this all-in-one a sure bet!
 
 
Watch this video for more info
 
 
 



How awesome is this Photo Clock, I mean really I want one for myself, it comes with fun images already on the clock that you can change to your child's style, or you can upload your own photos for a truly personalized experience, same with music and so much more!!!
 
 
There are so many cute styles that the clock comes in
 
We were sent the adorable Owl one!

 

 
Our Experiences with The Zazoo Kids Photo Clock:
 
 
We are in love! When I first pulled the Photo Clock out of the box I was surrounded by eager little ones who couldn't wait to see how it worked. I very quickly setup our preferences with the enclosed remote, and then the magic happened, all three of my children were waiting on bedtime, they kept checking the clock for the moon to pop up which was way out of the ordinary!! Finally 8:00 rolled around and my youngest was the first to spot the moon on the clock and immediately ran through the house shouting "OON" translation MOON! So without a word from me the older two washed their faces brushed their teeth put on jammies and were in bed!! AND they stayed in bed all night and until the next morning when the sun came out (on the clock)!!
(sun and moon designs)
 
 How did it work the next few nights (after the "newness" wore off) They are in bed on time every night with no fuss at all same with waking in the morning! SO this product is a winner works wonderfully and they just love all the extra features like the music playlist I can turn on the night time music and set a timer on the clock so it will automatically cut off after 30 minutes! This is truly a winner It's stylish functional and serves it's purpose! I can't wait to use this when back to school time rolls around it will help establish a routine so much quicker!
 
So Overall I highly recommend the Zazoo Photo Clock, they should pass these out to all new parents, everyone is happier with better/more sleep and Zazoo is there to help you accomplish that! Run down walk Over to Zazoo to order yours today!

Thirty-One Gifts Review and Giveaway!


I have a treat for you guys today! Thanks to the lovely Lisa Brinkley, a Thirty One Gifts consultant, I am going to be sharing with you about some of Thirty-One Gifts’ Hottest products for the summer!

A little about Lisa at Thirty-One Gifts:
“I am a mom of two beautiful children, Savannah and Tanner. They fill my life with joy everyday with them and watching them grow! Being married to my wonderful husband for almost 10 years, we have grown into a wonderful family together and continue to enjoy life day to day.

Being a stay at home mom has its challenges, just like any job, but when I came across Thirty One, their products have begun to make my life a little easier. Their products help me to organize my home, travel and daily life with the family. While doing so they are adorable and cute to carry around! They have so many options for each of their bags and they come out with so many beautiful fabrics as the seasons change! So, heres to hoping the Thirty One products make a big difference in your life!!"
I had heard of Thirty One Gifts, but never been able to attend a party to purchase. But I love browsing the catalog and I was SO excited. Thirty One has tons of bags, totes, purses, thermal totes, baskets, and other home organization tools and so much more. You get to chose your product, fabric pattern and you can add embroidery, too!

Here are the wonderful products that I was sent:

Organizing Utility Tote (in Turquoise)

 
This Bag is truly wonderful!!!! I know I can use this for so many things, but currently I’m using it as a diaper bag, Well Kid bag my youngest is 2 1/2 and is potty trained but we still have to carry extra clothes, her favorite toys, cups, snacks and just whatever else! And this bag is great for us I don’t really carry a purse with kids in tow, and with this tote there are tons of pockets to put my stuff in (keys phone wallet etc) and still have enough room for little miss’ things without carrying a huge bulky bag, and not to mention the tote is truly adorable so it is great to use for my “kid Bag” without sacrificing style! It’s perfect, i just hate I didn’t have it when we actually had to carry a fully packed diaper bag because it would’ve been wonderful! But with this tote your options for use do not end at just a bag for kids, this would be great for office use, or anywhere that you have to carry supplies back and forth, My mind automatically went to teachers gifts too when I saw this bag, it would be perfect for a new teacher gift to give at the beginning of a school year, or how about those new grads heading off to college you know they could use some stylish organization: the uses for the Organizing Utility totes are truly endless!! And remember there are tons of options for fabric patterns and embroidery to truly customize this bag!
 
 
 
Next up the.....

Large Utility Tote ( in Lotsa Dots)

 

OH I was super excited for this bag for summer! This oversized bag holds a LOT! It's perfect for toting towels and toys to the pool, carrying your sports gear to the big game, or for taking on camping trips and more! The structured frame keeps the bag open to carry bulky items, then easily collapses for storage. It is wonderful and once again adorable and on a recent outing to a soccer game I probably was stopped 10 times and asked where it came from, and of course I told them about Lisa’s Thirty-One Gifts!



Look How much this holds, that is a full size comforter in there with room on the sides to spare!
 
And Last but certainly not least

Thermal Tote (best buds)


This was another one I was totally excited about for summer! We live sort of close to the park (about a 20 min walk) so during the summer the kids always want to go play/picnic there, and taking lunch or drinks was always difficult to do, with keeping them cool enough without carrying 5+ kids lunch boxes or a bulky cooler, now I don’t have to worry I just put whatever we may need in this thermal tote and Know it’s going to stay cool enough on our outing! I’m already plotting it’s use for a trip to the zoo and hiking this summer too! Once again it’s in a darling and stylish print that I will be proud to show off!
 

 
 
Overall My experience with Lisa and Thirty-One Gifts has been wonderful!! With Thirty-One Gifts you know you are getting a high quality product that is not only stylish but functional! I don’t think that there is a single product from Thirty-One Gifts that I don’t like, I mean they are all so wonderful!!

What a WummelBox?!
Glad you asked a WummellBox is......

  • Straight from Berlin, projects are developed by experts, refined by parents and approved by kids!
  • Each WummelBox contains everything needed to immediately begin crafting.
  • Each box is a retail value of $35.95
 
We were sent their Music and Sound Box
 
They were way excited to start this project, any kind of Arts & Crafts are their favorites and mine too; it helps keep them away from tvs and games and makes them actually use their imaginations!!
 

In the box there were 3 activities, Make a Drum, Sound Memory, and Chime Song, this lovely box also included scissors, so absolutely everything you need is in the box, no searching through the house for an item you need to complete a project, it's all right there!!


The First activity we did was the Drum,  the girls were so excited about this one and I was very impressed by the materials sent to create the drum with! In the Drum kit you have a very sturdy cardboard ring, nice leather piece clips and an instruction/idea book! This drum craft is made to last none of this create it and use it one time type crafts, The girls even took turns rebuilding the drum so they could each get a turn with it, very simple to make, so much fun for the kiddos, and made to last!


 
Next up was the Chime activity, this was by far their favorite to make and play with! With this Activity you use the Box itself for the craft, which I loved truly using every aspect of the Wummelbox! We built our chime hung it in the box, with magnets (that are included) then my oldest daughter started composing her own song with the notes and music sheet that was included, they love playing these chimes and learning about the different sounds the different size chimes make! Once again this craft is made to last and be used over and over they have been playing with this everyday for almost a week and it works perfect!!

 
The Last activity we did was Sound Memory, the kit included small film like containers and a variety of objects to put into the containers, then it's like a matching game but for your ears, you shake the containers and try to match the 2 that sound a like, it was a lot of fun watching them try to guess which ones were the same, and I just loved seeing them have fun learning! In fact she went to preschool the next day telling her teacher all about the "sound Match game". They have also used the containers for Maracas in their little sound band, one plays the drum one the chimes, and then one is on the "Maracas".
 
 
 
Overall I was Highly Satisfied with Our WummelBox! The WummelBox is fun, learning, and creativity all in a Box for a child! With WummelBox you know you'll receive great projects with high quality material made to last!
We Love WummelBox!!

ToyState Review!!


I was recently sent 3 amazing new toys from ToyState to review for you guys!
 
 
 
All three of my children love playing with any sort of vehicle type toys. Yes, even my girls, some of their favorite toys are what are commonly classified as “boy toys” and while I don’t buy into the typical toy stereotype, my girls are prime example of it, they can go from playing pretty princess dress up to playing ninjas and monster trucks just like that!! I see nothing wrong with girls playing with cars and all that stuff, it’s actually nice that they will because that means my son isn’t singled out playing by himself they enjoy playing together! Anyways, thanks to
Toy State we were all able to try out and have some fun playing with some of their car toys.


First a little about ToyState:

“Founded in 1984, Toy State is an innovator and an industry leader in the manufacture of licensed and highly stylized lights and sound vehicles. Toy State’s core portfolio includes Road Rippers® lights and sound vehicles, as well as Cat® and Cat® Preschool lights and sound construction toys. Working in-step with the world’s leading automakers, and Caterpillar, the leading manufacturer of construction equipment, Toy State products provide hours of enjoyment for kids of all ages."




 

 
The first toy out of the box was the Road Rippers Monster Truck!

 

As you can see it was the Dinosaur one, which thrilled my 6 year old who just spent a week learning about dinosaurs at school!!

 
Road Rippers Monster Trucks(ages 3+, suggested retail: $19.99)

The motorized truck rolls over anything in its way. Realistic monster truck sounds and driving tunes help your kids feel the power! Styles include: Bigfoot, Ramunition, Raminator and Snake Bite.
 
Cool body styles and paint schemes on unique Road Rippers-styled monster trucks! Includes exciting truck and driving sounds, light effects, and announcer-themed vocals. Requires 4 "AA" batteries (included). For ages 3 years and up.
Our Thoughts: My Kids love Monster Trucks and ToyState did not disappoint them with their new Dinosaur Truck. It has not only an awesome design but it’s also motorized, lights up and has fun sounds! It goes forward, backward, has realistic four-wheel drive and rolls for its different motions. It is not remote controlled but has buttons on the top for kids to push, which i find to work out for them much easier. Also Toystate add an amazing bonus to this truck with parents in mind a MUTE Switch!!!! (finally a toy company understands while we may love the toy sometimes it needs to be quite lol) Three AA batteries are required BUT it DOES come with them, yay for including batteries so kids can play with it right out of the box.

 

Second Up CAT Rev It Up (Retail Price: $9.99, Ages 3+)

The Cat machine styles with a ‘rev-up’ motorized driving feature. Rev up and watch them roll!! Assortment includes: Dump Truck and Wheel Loader. No Batteries Required.
 

Our Thoughts: These are fun trucks that are push powered. This is easy to play with even for little kids, my youngest can make it go on her own. You simply pull it back and let the car go. The trucks do NOT take batteries, big bonus there :) My youngest likes to load the back of the truck with her little animals or blocks and drive it around. Overall great quality and was appreciated most by my youngest, I couldn’t get her away from it!!

 
Thrid was Road Rippers Hatchbacks (Suggested Retail Price: $9.99, Ages 3+)


Free-wheeling rides with a unique rotating speaker bed feature! Take the car for a spin, pop the hatch and enjoy cool tunes matched with each of the 3 unique speaker bed designs. Available in Ford Fiesta and Mini Countryman WRC styles

 

Our Thoughts: We received the Mini Countryman WRC Hatchback, and it was a fun toy to play with! When you lift the Hatchback on the car, speakers come forward and light up playing some pretty fun music, but the fun doesn’t stop there this car also has headlights that light up and a way fun design, and it too INCLUDES the batteries!!! Priced at only $9.99 this is a great toy for your little one to discover or even to give as a gift (my 6 year old already told me that we have to get his bestfriend one for his upcoming birthday!)

 
Overall ToyState has great products that both kids and parents will enjoy! These are a great toys that most importantly entertain my kids . I think the best review I could give would be that my my kids love them!!

Do I have any Shake it Up Fans out there?!

I was recently given the Chance to Review The New Disney CD
 "Shake It Up: I <3 Dance" !!!
 
 
 
I'm Sure if you have a girl in your life between the ages of 6-12  you've probably heard of Shake it Up! My oldest daughter is 5 1/2 (she insist on adding the 1/2 ) and I have younger sister who is 12 that introduced her to the Disney Channel Show "Shake it Up"!
 
If you aren't Familiar with Shake it Up it is, like I've mentioned, a Disney Channel Show targeted for children ages 6-12  and is about best friends who want to be professional dancers and have sort of realized their dreams by becoming back up dancers for a popular TV show - a show within a show, but it's full of fun dancing and music that my daughter loves!! Also it isn't a show that is unappropriated for her age so that's a huge plus!
 
She mostly watches it while dancing around the family room to all the fun music featured in the show so naturally she was thrilled when we received the CD in the Mail! She immediately went and put on her "fancy clothes" (her words not mine lol) and started a dance party right away!!
 
She's also had friends over since receiving the "Shake It Up: I <3 Dance" Cd and of course that was the first thing she showed them!!

The album features 12 dance tracks from the show's third season and has collaborations with many other Disney stars.  My personal favorite was the remake of Nancy Sinatra "These Boots are Made for Walking." and my daughter's favorite was "This is My Dance Floor".  The tunes are catchy fun and trendy and make you want to dance! And the Songs are totally age appropriate and total kids poppy music no offensive words or phrases, something that is truly hard to find for younger children!!

1. Contagious Love (Zendaya and Bella Thorne)
