Dinolingo

I had never heard of Dinolingo until I was sent an invite to watch the video with my children from Influenster. My kids and I just sat down and watched the little clip of Dinolingo above. It was easy to follow and understand. My 4 year old that has a learning disability picked up on some of the words right away. Others were not so easy for him. It does appear to be an easy and fun to understand way for children to pick up a new language with parental interaction.

Dial Complete Foaming Handwash

With the Holiday season upon us, our homes are filled with friends and family. That means more dirt and germs walking in and out of our homes. The best way to prevent the spread of germs is to wash your hands. Dial is making that easy, fun, and festive this time of year. Dial Complete foaming hand soap is now available in Holiday themed dispensers. They are a fun creative way to encourage kids and guests to wash, wash, wash.

In my home, it is hard to convince a child to wash their hands. But with Santa hanging out by the sink it is a little easier. To encourage the 4 year old to wash his hands appropriately, we are working on singing "Here comes Santa Clause" while using the Santa deigned bottle. So far it is working.

The soap inside these cute Christmas themes bottles is the same Dial complete foaming hand soap that is in the non decorative containers. The antibacterial formula kills 99.99% of germs encountered in the house while being gentle of your families skin. The soap has a refreshing clean scent that lets you know when your hands are clean.

Everyone in my house is having a great time knowing that Santa is watching to see if we are naughty or nice this year. While we are having fun, we are also keeping the colds at bay by washing the germs away.

ReUsies Snack and Sandwich Bags Review

Are you trying to be more eco-friendly? Maybe you hate packing lunches for your family only to find out that you are out of sandwich bags. ReUsies are a great solution for both.

I have been using both the sandwich size and snack size ReUsies for the last several days. They are a quick and easy way to pack a lunch for my family. They are quick and easy to add items to and they are just as easy to clean.

ReUsies are nicely designed with a decorative fabric on the outside and a water resistant nylon liner on the inside. They are easy to open and close with a Velcro strip. In fact, there is two Velcro strips on the bags. One for a general sized bag, the other to shrink the bag to about half the size if needed. The best part, they are both dishwasher and and washing machine safe. No need to throw them away or worry about bacteria and germs.

I really enjoy the convenience of ReUsies and knowing that I am not throwing away plastic bags unnecessarily. They come in great designs that are fun for everyone in the family too. What would you like to put in your ReUsies? If you would like to try ReUsies for yourself, you can enter to win a 2 pack of them here starting on November 18th, 2012 and ending at 11:59 PM December 6th.

Don't tell anyone in my house this, but here is what I hide in the ReUsies in my purse.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Palmolive Fresh Infusions

The brand we have known for years has made a change. Palmolive now comes in a new Fresh scent line.

The scents are refreshing and all grown up. Now you can enjoy the scent of Ginger White Tea, Lime Basil, or Lemon Thyme. All three scents are available for around $2.99 at local Walmart and Target stores.

I have been switching the scent of my soap based in my mood. My favorite is the Ginger White Tea. It is light and refreshing and adds a little calmness to my day. My daughter immediately tried to steal a bottle off my counter. She really likes the scent of the Lemon Thyme. She says that is it not the same as other lemon scented dish soaps.

This is a great way to add a little pleasure to a daily chore.

Cuddleuppets Review

 

What is a Cuddleuppet? A Cuddleuppet is a blanket and a Puppet in one. They come in eight fun designs: Blue Elephant, Unicorn, Pink Lady Bug, Green Crocodile, Pink Poodle, Purple Monkey, Brown Bea, and a Yellow Puppy.
 

When I received my Cuddleuppet I was excited. I knew that the 4 year old in my house would be excited to have it. He is a complete blanket freak and a puppet would only add to the comfort and fun.

 

Close up of the elephant face

I received a blue elephant blanket which was ideal for the young boy in my house. To my surprise, the blue elephant design is no longer available on their website. Although, I was able to find the elephant available on Amazon.

When I opened the blanket I was very surprised to feel how soft it was. The fabric is was a child looks for in comfort and security. The blanket measures 28 inches by 39 inches. This is not a large blanket, but it is the ideal size for a small child to enjoy. There are no parts on the Cuddleuppet that will come off and harm a a child. You can see in the photo above that the eyes are not hard plastic.

The puppet is on the edge of the blanket and is in an easy location for the child to play with it even when covered up with the blanket. There are feet stitched into the corners also, The stitching is well done and the puppet itself is very cute. The opening for the puppet is small, but my adult sized hand fit in it just fine. However, my husband’s hand would not fit in the puppet.

 The blanket has provided numerous hours of play and even more of comfort while laying down and watching TV. I only have two small issues with my Cuddleuppet. The first is trying to keep it at home and not allowing it to go to daycare. I have a feeling the kids at the daycare would want to play at nap time instead of sleep. The other issue I have is that my dog has claimed the blanket when the child is not home. Thank goodness the Cuddleuppet is washable!

Climb Aboard the Polar Express

 

If you have never gone on the Mt Hood Railraod. This is a great time of year to go! 

All Aboard! The Polar Express comes to life this holiday season as the Mount Hood Railroad rolls out of the station bound for the "North Pole!" Come early and climb aboard with your family to cozy-up and enjoy our festively-decorated vintage train cars. Dancing chefs deliver hot chocolate and a cookie to each guest to savor while music from the Polar Express movie plays en route to the North Pole. Make sure to have your tickets handy, because your conductor will be by shortly to punch each child's ticket. Before arriving at the North Pole, the iconic book, The Polar Express is read as your Chef turns the pages to share the beautiful illustrations in the original book. With the station far away, The Polar Express magically arrives at the outskirts of Santa's North Pole village, where Santa Claus himself and his elves joyously welcome the train! As you stay comfortably settled and warm in your seat, Santa and his helper elf board the train! During the return trip, Santa will greet each child with his signature holiday spirit and the first gift of Christmas: a bell cut from his sleigh. It is said that only children and those who still believe can actually hear the bell ring. Join in the singing as your Chef or Conductor lead Christmas caroling on the 30-minute return trip. For those wanting the magic to last or to do a little Christmas shopping, visit our gift shop in the station for special Polar Express gifts and merchandise. Oh, one last thing, children are encouraged to wear their PJ's; adults who still believe have been known to wear them, too! So, are you coming? All Aboard!

Pine Bros. Softish Throat Drops Review

The weather is changing and cold and flu season has arrived. Are you ready for that next cold to invade your house? I had the opportunity to try a product that has been around for over 140 years called Pine Bros. Softish throat drops.

I am the first to admit that I am a big baby when it comes to sore throats.The worst part about being a big baby? I had the taste of medicine and I do not like the numb feeling that some of the medicines cause.

I was hesitant to try the Pine Bros. Softish throat drops, but once I opened the package of wild cherry flavored drops, I thought they smelled like a candy and not medicine. The first taste was surprisingly sweet and not medicinal at all. The consistency is a little different than the typical cough drop. It is more similar to a JuJube candy (I am sure I just dated myself). It is not soft like a gummy bear and not hard like a cough drop. It is somewhere in between.

One of the features of the Pine Bros. Softish throat drops is that they are not full of ingredients that you cannot pronounce. In fact the product is all natural. Even the red coloring in the wild cherry flavor is from Elderberries not a dye. In my household, this is a big plus.

My entire household is very happy with the flavors of both the Natural Honey and the Wild Cherry. Pine Bros. Softish Throat Drops are a great addition to any home for those not so pleasant sore throats that we all gt once in a while.

Pine Bros. are not only an all natural product, but they are made in the USA and easily found in CVS stores across the country. They are available in Wild Cherry and Natural Honey flavors in both a bag style package or a puck style package.
