Bob the Builder Dino Dig DVD Review

Can we Build It? Yes We Can! I think that is so great about the Bob the Builder shows that he is so positive and overcomes what ever obstacles that he comes across. We have contractors in our family that paint, build and are Mr. Fix Its so it makes me adore Bob even more. My son loves to dance to the theme song.

He can't read yet but he always turns a DVD over to look at! Too cute!


What I liked about this DVD is that is had dinosaurs!  We love dinos around here and it made this DVD even more fun! I like the sharing and learning with Bob the Builder and his friends. In this DVD they are building an amusement park when their digging around uncovers bones from the past. Its a really cute one. I love the soft colors of the Bob the Builder cartoons. I look forward to watching more Bob the Builder with my son when the next DVD is available. You can but this DVD at Best Buy, Walmart and Amazon.

He Thinks Hes a Big Boy

18 months old wearing Daddy's shoes.

I am having one of the sentimental days where I can believe how big my son has gotten. Every experienced parent tells you as a new parent savor it, time flies by and they will grown up faster than you think. I thought I was and try my best to it just seems he thinks he is a big boy! He wears his Dads shoes around the house, he wants to walk around on his own places (no more insisting Mama carries him) and he wants to sit in a regular chair. The cute part is the mimicking he does. He will grab the phone and jibber jabber then yell BubBye! He always wants to use my pen and note pad (He picks up on my listing habits!) and he knows how to switch the DVDs in the DVD player and change the mode on the remote so he can see his movie, and hes only 19 months old! Who is this mini man who now tells me No and shakes his head, who carries what he wants me to buy him in the store (he had a large can of spaghetti O's, a pack of fruit snacks and a pack of cookies all in his arms at the grocery store the other day) and who no longer needs a Baba to soothe him to sleep. Where is the tiny needy baby that I used to carry around the house!

My little man at 3 months old. The flash always bugged him!

Eco Lunch Gear Reusable Snack Bags Review and Giveaway


I have been on a personal mission to stop with so many plastic bags, paper towels and plastic bottles. Each time I find a new product to help with my mission I am so pleased! Before my son was born I did not realize how much plastic waste I created. Being a mom now I seem to think more of the health of the planet and my ability to change things. Plus my son bites, grabs and tries to rip anything he gets his hands on.

The ones we reviewed. You get to pick your own pattern if you win!



Eco Lunch Gear reusable snack bags and sandwich wraps are great in helping me stop my plastic waste. They are easier to clean then some other brands since you can open them all the way to wipe them clean. On the other hand it also means my little guy can open it up all the way to shake out what ever is in the bag. He is figuring out that part though and tries his best to keep his snacks closed in it. I also like the cloth napkins they would definitely help me to reduce my paper towel consumption while also matching my snack bags. They have cute designs too!

Did We Find Barney?






My son adores Barney! I always said to myself my kids won't watch Barny, that was before I was a mom and boy was I wrong. My son loves the singing, the dancing, the characters and the mix of characters and kids in the shows. We went to a park the other day and he found a purple dinosaur near the swings.

He hugged it, kissed it and gave it pats on the head. It was so sweet! He can't say Barney but he sure did sway back and forth and bob up and down like he could hear the music in his head. I think in his mind we had found Barney!

What characters do your kids or grandkids love that you thought it was just silly?

Costume Super Center Giraffe Costume Review


I have to admit I love to put my son in costumes! Its so fun to play make believe when you have the outfit to make it more real. He seems to think its fun and silly too. Even while I was pregnant with him I purchase costumes for him. His birthday is a month after Halloween and the clearance costumes were hard to resist. Thankfully I found Costume Super Center, they have reasonable prices all year long for costumes. We have a lobster, a monkey, an elf and now a GIRAFFE!



A giraffe costume is a big deal around here since my sons best friend, his stuffed animal is a giraffe. He carries that stuffed animal everywhere and can not fall asleep without him. When I showed him the Giraffe Costume she squealed. He hugged it and kissed it and when he realized it was something to put on he sat down ready to be dressed in it. Normally its like wrestling an alligator to get clothes on him but for his giraffe costume he was completely docile and loved wearing it.

Getting his costume on.


When I took him to the mirror so he could see himself he smiled so big and laughed. He carried around his stuffed giraffe and together we pretended we were giraffes grazing grass. Its is so cute to see him get lost in the moment of pretend with me. Sometimes I think I am having more fun than him though! It melts my heart to see him in a costume.

My sweet Giraffe and his best friend


I think costumes can be worn anytime of the year. Its a fun way to play make believe with your kids and with the great prices at Costume Super Store its worth it. Plus they are good costumes you can hand down to your younger children. Or even donate to a school or charity when your kids out grown them. Here in Northern California there was a pirate festival that I thought ohhh I need a costume for that. We did not make it to the festival but next year I want to go and dress up! I  found the cutest pirate costume that I would want my son to wear.

From the site only $9.99! Id love my son to wear this one!


Being the Frugal mama I am I found a bunch of great deals on many costumes. There is a Chewbacca costume for only $9.99!! While searching the site I realized they have Pet Costumes! So cute! Now all I need is matching costumes for the dog and my son!

We Love Blueberry anything!


Oh Blueberries how my family loves you! In muffins, pancakes, with whipped cream, in yogurt, and the best plain! My son adores blueberries, he eats them at least every other day. I love them too! Plus they are the only fruit that is blue, my favorite color and a superfood!



I have been trying to come up with new ways to incorporate blueberries into our meals. Do you have any great blueberry recipes?

Its not a pretty pancake but its so good! So many berries it turned the batter blue. I called them Smurf cakes!

Guaranteed Low Prices at GlassesUSA Website Review


 I have a funny story about eyeglasses to share. When I was first dating my husband I had no clue he needed glasses since he wore contacts every time I saw him. It wasn't until we were on a date at the State Fair did I realize he wore contacts. He got some dust in his eyes from the animal exhibit and went over to a water fountain to put a bit of water on his face. I noticed he was careful not to get it in his eyes and asked him if he wore contacts. I was so curious from that point what he would look like with glasses!

When I did finally get to see him in eyeglasses I thought he looked so handsome and smart! He explained to me how he would wear them in the evening and early in the morning but would put on contacts when he would hang out with me. Now 10 years later I still think he looks handsome with glasses on!

Anyone who wears glasses and has kids usually has at least one pair broken at one point!


Over the years we have purchased eyeglasses for him from many places. Sometimes with good results sometimes they turned out to be horrible. One thing we had not thought about was ordering glasses online. For the last two years I have been online shopping and blogging I have found there are many great and reliable places to shop on the net for everything.

I liked these ones! The red on black looks great.


Being the Frugal woman I am I did not want to spend more for the convenience of not having to go to the store to get glasses online. GlassesUSA.com is a website that offers many great selections with reasonable prices. They also have a money back guarantee. With a purchase that is so personal as glasses a guarantee such as that one is a must! They have a facebook page where you can get discounts and sales updates from. Another cool thing on the site is the "virtual mirror" where you can upload a picture of yourself or use a webcam to see what the glasses would look like on you. You can even send pictures to your friends of you trying them on to get another persons option.

I would love my hubby to get these CK oranges ones! I love orange!


If you plan to order glasses anytime soon you should visit GlassesUSA.com to see their selction of Retro frames, Designer frames, Fashion frames (this section had a frames I loved) and even Rimless frames. The "deals of the week" section features a selection of glasses that every frugal mama would love!

You can save 10% with the coupon code: Mommy10
They also have a few summer discounts I can share with you
-Take 20%off any order over $100 and get free shipping with the code FS20 (expires 6/25; free shipping -valid on USA orders only)
Take $25 off any Transitions lenses with the code Trans25

Sesame Street and YouTube saved the evening!


I have loved Sesame Street since I was a kid. I had a giant Elmo doll even as a teenager! Snuffy, Big Bird,
 Cookie Monster I love them all. My son loves them too. I love that he enjoys watching the characters I watched as a kid. He has had a DVD about eating your fruits and vegetables starring Elmo that if I put it on he smiles and gets ready to dance. My husband cracks up at how we dance and I sing the words to the songs to my son. He now mumbles while I sing, I know he is trying to figure out how to talk and its so cute to hear him do so. He sways with the music and jumps when the Count tells him to.

The other day my son was in an unusual mood. We have been slowly trying to ween him his binkie and its been rough. He relies on it when hes grumpy or sleepy and the other night he was both but could not get to sleep. I had my computer out so I googled elmo and youtube hoping to find something he had not seen before. I was so happy to find Sesame Street had their own YouTube account where they upload stuff to watch.

At first I was clicking on the classic vids like Elmos song and Rubber Ducky by Burt and Ernie. Then I looked in the suggestions box to the side and found singers and actors that have done a Sesame Street song. I found a few I had not seen before. (Sadly we don't get Sesame Street on our tv since the switch to high def tv). I was so happy to be able to share Sesame Street with my son using our computer. Plus its free to watch!

My son sat on my lap quietly watching the videos I was sharing with him until he heard this one. He got down and danced for a few times of watching it then climbed back onto my lap and fell asleep. It was very sweet and he fell asleep without his binkie! Thank you Sesame Street!

I found a song that is now my FAVORITE song! I wanted to share it with everyone!

Will.i.am sings "What I Am"

My Top Ten Time Saving Tips for Moms



After being married almost 8 years before my son was born being a parent was new to me. I never had to think of time constraints or time management like I do now. Adjusting to the fact that a helpless little person needed my every moment was rough at first. Of course I savored every second of it but it was definitely something I had to get use to. I had to find ways to get stuff done for him, for me, for my husband and for our home. 

I still consider myself a new mom even though my son is 18 months old.  I find myself constantly running out of time to get done my "to do" list for each day. Thankfully I have learned a lot in the last 18 months on how to do tasks and chores in a way that saves me time.

My top ten time saving ideas are:

1. Use a baby carrier!
I found it so much easier to be able to do things like fold laundry while sitting on the couch, talk on the phone, read emails and so much more if I had my little guy in his carrier. He always wanted to be held and I was worried about him wiggling around so I always held him with two hands making it impossible to do anything else.


2. Cook meals in advance while your kids are napping.
I found if I made the meat or entree part of a meal in advance even if it was only for a few days it made it so much more simple to just steam veggies or boil rice to go with the meat I already had cooked. I alwasy do this while he is napping since he needs my full attention when hes awake and I need to pay attention while I cook or it turns out burnt or under seasoned.


3. Use the internet to help shop and pay bills.
Going to the store with kids can be a time drainer. Although its cute they want to help and want to be a little shopper on days when you need to just get it done it can be frustrating. If you know there are certain items your family needs monthly you go use places like Safeway.com or Alice.com to get stuff sent to you without having to do anything! Our internet and phone have online bill pay so you do not have to even fill out a bill and mail it just a few clicks! 


4. Make a Cleaning schedule.
I find myself getting lost in household chores and then I run out of time to do other things I need to do. I have days of the week I do things like the floors, the bathrooms, laundry and cooking. It makes it easier to not feel guilty about certain tasks I might not get done. If it is not my "day" to do it then I won't use my time on it and will get other things done. 


5. Use digital coupons and rewards cards.
I cannot tell you how many hours I spend clipping coupons only to have them expire, left at home or not even need. I use to cut all of them out just in case or to give to someone. It can be a time drainer to clip and organize them all. I am a couponer and love to save money, with our budget its a must but as they say time is money! So I use digital coupons loaded onto my rewards card. I load every deal and every coupon onto the card just to be sure I have it if I need it. I load coupons from the stores website as well as 3rd party coupon sites.


6. Make lists, even lists for your lists!
I know this may seem simple but for me I would be lost without my lists. I write things down for my son, the house and for blogging! I find this helps me to not waste time trying to remember this or that or having to go back to the house for something I forget. Which saves time and gas money! 


7. Know you limits and be ok with it!
Time is a finite. Theres no getting more or making more time. Knowing that you only have so much time in the day to do stuff is something to remind yourself of. Being ok with not accomplishing everything yo wanted to can be stressful but don't let this overwhelm you. Sometimes we can all be time wasters worrying or over thinking things. My mother in law gets stressed about house chores by being overwhelmed by the whole picture. I always tell her one room at a time and you will get there. 


8. Have two diaper bags.
For me I have a regular diaper bag and a mini back up one in the car. The back up one has non perishable snacks, diapers, wipes, a binkie, a stuffed animal, extra outfits, a coat, band-aids, hand sanitizer, an extra tshirt for me and emergency phone numbers in it (in case you lose your cell phone, no one remembers phone  numbers anymore!) I update it as we use stuff and my son changes clothing and diaper sizes. I have friends that have to run to the store or go back to the house when we are on playdates to get the item they forgot to put in the diaper bag. Me I just go to my back up bag and continue with the task at hand!



9. Buy extras if its on Sale.
Running out of diapers or baby food or the all important tp can be a time waster! When my son was first born I was naive to think I could just run to the store to get something. I learned real quick to get more than one of something if I see it on sale. This doesn't just save time but also money! 


10. Have a space for yourself.
This is along the lines of organizing. It will help you to have stuff you need like bills, letters, books, your cell phone all in one spot. Also it gives you a place that you can unwind and have just your stuff there. Metal clarity is a big time saver. Even if its just your own shelf in the closet or if you can a small desk in your bedroom this organizing spot to do your personal tasks will make them easier to get done and give you time later to be with your kids rather than trying to do both at once.

Buddy Fruits Review and Giveaway



I am a big fan of food in a pouch for kids. My son loves to be able to hold what he is eating and since hes a wild boy its easier to have his fruit be blended. Buddy Fruits are super easy to take on the go. He drinks them down and loves them. He loves fruit thankfully and these are perfect for him. I place a few of them in our on the go cooler for him on these really hot summer days. We recently tried the fruit snacks. He liked them but I had to of course break them up into tiny pieces for him. I ate the majority of the fruit snacks since they were really good!



He wanted to hold every pouch of the Buddy Fruits. He knows what they are when he sees the packaging. We received a new flavor that my son had not tried before and he loved it. The Mango Passion and Banana is his new favorite. We try not to use the word no in our house. The last thing I want is to hear LW yelling no at me! I try to use alternatives but when it comes to his food ingredients I am ok with no. Buddy Fruits has a list of Nos that I like:

  • No preservatives
  • No colorings
  • No additives
  • No fat
  • No genetic modification
  • No water added
  • No dairy or gluten
  • No-thing artificial

Soon they will be introducing fruit and milk pouch smoothies. I am sure my little guy will love them!

Big Train Blended Ice Coffee Drink Review

Big Train Coffee (my son would not leave the shiny packaging alone lol)


I cannot live without coffee. Seriously I am a beast if I do not have a few cups everyday. But here in California it can be so hot even early in the morning making a hot cup of coffee is out of the question. Starbucks is way to expensive and the one near me I swear they water the drinks! I complain but no one seems to care. Their blended coffee drinks taste like ice more than coffee!

Adding the powder to my ice and cold coffee.


I recently had the opportunity to try a few of the Big Train Blended Ice Coffee drinks and oh my they are good! I love iced and blended coffee for the summer mornings and for after dinner. They cool you off and taste delicious! Their mixes were great! You can make them cold with ice or hot for the winter. They can be mixed with milk or coffee too. I love having options! I tried the Caramel Latte, Java Chip ( my favorite one!) Coffee and Kona Mocha. I really enjoyed the great  flavor and the chocolate pieces in the Java Chip were really good. I love that Big Train is a California company and trains are a huge hit in our house so it was a perfect fit.

My Java Chip Blended Ice Coffee Drink. Now all I need is a Big Train mug!

Making your own coffee drinks at home is definitely one of the great ways you can be frugal and still indulge! Have you tried or wanting to try the new McDonalds Strawberry Lemonade drink? Well I have a great recipe from Big Train to make your own Strawberry Lemonade drinks at home. Here is the recipe from their blog. You can be serving these all summer for you and your kids!


I like smaller coffee shops where you can try new stuff and feel like your barista is your friend! Ask your local coffee shop to start carrying Big Train Coffee and Big Train Chai products!

You can follow Big Train on twitter and be a fan on facebook.You can buy Big Train Coffee online and mix it at home like I did. Its so great to be able to add as much or as little of ice, milk, and coffee to your drink without having to ask someone to do it for you!

To celebrate Dads like Mufasa in the Lion King Disney is announcing today that The Lion King 3D Version will be in theaters September 16th, and on Blu-ray & Blu-ray 3D October 4th.

Mommy and Me Day!

Mommy and Me Day at Raley Field


I have always wanted to be a Mom. I knew one day I would be ready and we could have great adventures. This year when I saw on the morning news about a Mommy and Me day at the baseball park Raley Field where the River Cats play I knew we had to go. I had never been to Raley Field so I knew it would be fun to see. I love baseball and my little guy has an awesome throwing arm!




It was very exciting to be there! So many kids and their Mommies on the baseball field. There were jump houses, giant balls to roll, baseball playing and parachute fun. We did a little of everything, well at least attempted it! We got in line for the jump house since most of the kids seemed to be the same heights as my son but when I started to ask ages most kids were 2 or 3 I let him try to see if he wanted to go in but he seemed apprehensive so I let him climb down and we went over to the giant ball to play.



We were provided snacks by Raley's and Sunnyside so we had a little picnic on the baseball field. It was so nice that we were able to sit and play on a real baseball diamond! The grass was heavenly! I want grass like that in my yard. My son smiled the whole time running around, throwing his tennis ball ( I forgot to bring his baseball and glove!) I was thankful I had some sort of ball for him to throw in the diaper bag.

My son next to Dinger the mascot


He got really excited when the River Cats mascot Dinger made an appearance.  All the kids were surrounding him getting hugs, high fives and autographs. My son stood there surronded by other kids staring and in awe of this big giant Cat! He LOVES cats and I think this was to him "the cats meow!" He waited his turn patiently to get close enough to Dinger to give him a hug. He grabbed his leg and hugged it! It was the sweetest thing ever! He would have stared at and waved to the mascot all day if I let him. I told him it was other kids turn and pointed him in the direction of the baseball diamond. Hes a bit to small to get the concept of running the bases but for me it was exciting! I have played softball off and on from 5 years old until about 12. I loved it and my sister Sam and I were on the same team a few times. I have great memories with baseball and I look forward to making more fun baseball memories with my son!

Plus Mommy and Me day was free to get in, free parking and we got free goodies to eat and a Raleys Moms Panel tshirt. I am a panel member so I thought that was really cool! We are hoping to be able to watch a game this season since the ball park seems very kid friendly and has a play area for kids during the game.

Do you have any great Mommy and Me days in your area?

Certain Dri Deodorant Review and Giveaway 100 Days of Summer Sweeps




I have to admit sometimes my "natural" deodorants don't work as well as I need them to in the 100 degree plus summers of California.
