Zooligans ZooPop Shoes ~ A Review and Giveaway

We love Zooligans at our house! They are kid friendly in so many ways. The designs are adorable, the soles have fun paw prints, they are easy to put on and take off and they are extra durable.

Little H is wearing the Elephant & Peanut Boys Loafer from the ZooPop Boys' line. They are the perfect shoes for his chubby little feet. He loves them because he can put them on all by himself. I love them because they slip on and off (shoes strings at this age are a nightmare) and they are washable! One of the other added bonuses is that they are casual enough to wear everyday, but they are also nice enough to wear with a pair of khakis to church.

Little M is wearing the Dog & Treat Boys Loafer from the ZooPop Boys line. Little M has extremely long and skinny feet so these are a bit wide for him. But I must say that is only my opinion. Little M thinks they are perfect. He likes to have roomy shoes. And on his behalf these shoes do stay on well when he is running around the backyard. 

If you have girls, don't despair! Zooligans has a line of ZooPop shoes for girls. They are adorable with their little Mary Jane style. (I need a little girl!) 

You can purchase ZooPop shoes for your boy or girl at ShoeBuy.com!

Giveaway:

Now for the fun part! We are partnering with Zooligans to offer one of our readers a pair of ZooPop shoes for their little one. If you would like a chance to win a pair for your kiddo just use the Rafflecopter form below. The giveaway is open to U.S. residents that are 18 and older.

Christmas Gift Guide ~ Flipeez Hat #flipeez

My son has begged me for a Flipeez Hat since he first saw a commercial for them. I wondered if they were just for fun or if they could be used as an actual winter hat. Several weeks later I was asked to review one for our Christmas Gift Guide.

My son was thrilled; I was still waiting to see. When it came I was quite impressed with how thick the material was. It is lined with fleece and the outside is a thick woven material. It is very warm and it can be used as a winter hat. I love that it covers his ears and the quality is very good. My son loved the Playful Puppy  design. I think he looks so adorable in it too.

My son LOVES this hat! It is easy for him to make the ears flip. There is an air filled bulb in the end of one of the tassles and a quick squeeze makes the ears go up. (Other versions have a tail on back that goes up and down.) I love that it is a fun hat but that it is also able to keep kid's heads warm. I want to get one for my youngest for Christmas especially the Curious Owl. It is adorable. They have a great selection to choose from for both boys and girls!

Overall, I am quite impressed and Little M loves wearing this hat which is the best since most of the time I am trying to get him to keep his winter hat on. It is fun but completely practical which in my book makes a great Christmas gift!

Having both a 1 year old and 4 year old it can be challenging to find toys that both boys can play with together. I also prefer toys that let them be creative while playing. I like toys that have several different levels of play and that will grow with the boys. 

I have always been impressed with the quality of Vtech toys and the Go! Go! Smart Wheels™ Train Station Playset did not disappoint.  When the box arrived the boys wanted to play with it right away and I was not so sure since hubby was not there to put it together however the boys were not going to wait for dad. I started pulling out all the parts and setting them on the train table when I noticed the boys working together and building it themselves. Literally all I had to do was put batteries in the tower and train, the boys did the rest.

They played with the Go! Go! Smart Wheels™ Train Station until it was bedtime and then the next day it was the first toy they played with as well. Did you notice I said THEY? Yes, they both love this toy and it is big enough for them to play it together without fighting. My oldest loves to be in charge and he comes up with ways to rearrange the tracks and my 1 year old feels big since he can help snap the tracks together. My 1 year old also loves all the interactive parts and buttons to push while my oldest loves the crank you turn to make the train go down the hill.

Overall I have been impressed with the quality of materials, how it engages both of my boys, and it is a toy they keep coming back to! I also love the creativity it brings out in both boys. My oldest has already asked for more Go! Go! Smart Wheels which is great since grandparents are always wanting to know what to buy for birthdays and Christmas. I am so excited that VTech is giving a reader a chance to win one too!

Giveaway

Sneak Peek of #Disney’s Finding #Nemo returns to theatres in 3D! @DisneyPictures

Academy Award^®-winning Best Animated Feature “Finding Nemo” returns to the big screen for the first time ever in thrilling Disney Digital 3D™. In this stunning underwater adventure, with memorable characters, humor and heartfelt emotion, “Finding Nemo” follows the comedic and momentous journey of an overly protective clownfish named Marlin (voice by Albert Brooks) and his son Nemo (voice by Alexander Gould)––who become separated in the Great Barrier Reef when Nemo is unexpectedly taken far from his ocean home and dumped into a fish tank in a dentist’s office. Buoyed by the companionship of Dory (voice by Ellen DeGeneres), a friendly-but-forgetful Pacific regal blue tang, Marlin embarks on a dangerous trek and finds himself the unlikely hero of an epic effort to rescue his son––who hatches a few daring plans of his own to return safely home.

Our thoughts:

Little M and I are so excited! I have never taken Little M to a 3D movie but I think this might be a perfect match! Finding Nemo 3D is set to release September 14th, 2012!  You can keep up with all the Finding Nemo information on their facebook page.

Fun Bites Product Review Great for picky eaters! @funbites



Fun Bites

About FunBites:

At meals we would spend so much time cutting food into small shapes. Wouldn't it be easier if there was something we could just press down into their food and bippity boppity boo! Food would be made into bite-sized pieces? Maybe our kids would try new foods and eat better; maybe mealtime could be less stressful and more fun. Is that even possible?

Welcome to FunBites. It cuts food into bite-sized shapes. FunBites works on kid-friendly food from lunch meat and cheese to hamburgers, pancakes and fish. Jackie loves FunBites because the food is cut neatly and evenly. Dylan finally eats her food, real food, not junk food.

We just had to share FunBites with you. Maybe you have a kid like ours or maybe you simply want to add a little more fun and simplicity to your kitchen. We hope FunBites makes your mealtime more nutritious, a little easier and a lot more fun.

Our thoughts:

Little M is your classic picky preschooler. I have become a sneaky chef to get him to eat what I want him to eat. That is why I was very excited when I came across FunBites website. I knew I really wanted to review it. Our first try was a little messy. We used FunBites on a PBJ sandwich and while little M loved it I had peanut butter everywhere. Our next try we used it on cheese and fruit and it was perfect for that. My husband uses it when he makes little M pancakes.

One of my favorite part is that FunBites are safe for kids to use as they are made completely from hard plastic with no sharp metal. I also love that they are easy to clean and can be washed in the dishwasher! I also have noticed that little M is more excited to eat food that looks fun. Overall we give FunBites two thumbs up one from Mom and one from Little M.
