Stompeez Review and Giveaway

Knowing what my son wanted this year has been fairly easy, he sings the catch phrases or tells me when he sees a commercial that he likes it. Last year it was Pillow Pets, this year its all about Stomp Stomp Stompeez. He even asked Stompeez Please. Too cute! Last year that had such an overwhelming demand they ran out! But this year they have a new plan and tons of inventory for all the good little boys and girls that want Santa to bring them Stompeez.

Have you seen the commercial its very catchy. They show the kids stomping in the cool slippers and say Stomp Stomp Stomp Stompeez! I have even seen Stompeez showing up at some retailers. For my son I picked the Growlin' Dragon. My son thinks dragons are super cool. He loves this slippers. He stomps all over the house making his Stompeez growl at me. They have even munched on a few toys. My son will stick a action figure in the Dragons mouth and make the slipper bite it. It hilarious! You do need to stomp in the slippers to get them to work. My son had to learn to stomp properly to make the mouth open. I am sure older kids will have no trouble at all.

Making his Stompeez growl at me

My son immediately knew what they were. He yelled Stompeez and put them on to stomp. He wears them in the house every day and I have let him wear them to run errands. He had them on in the grocery store cart the other day and a few people asked me where to get them. Some kids recognize them too. They are a super cute gift for the kids in your life! Most kids under 5 will wear a small. My son is 3 with big feet and he still has room on the back of the slippers to grow into them.

This Little Lady

This little lady of mine will turn one in less than a week. One! 

This year has gone by so fast. I want to freeze time and keep her under a year old just a bit longer. 

She has always been so sweet, gentle and darling but lately I am starting so see a little "spice" in her personality. 

She is smart, determined, cute and even a little bit sassy these days! And getting a picture of her is out of the question, she has better things to do then pose for her mama!

Oh my I am so not ready for my little girl to grow up. 

But on the other hand I can't wait to see the young lady she becomes.

Nature's Path Organic Review and Giveaway

 

 

My family loves organic granola and one of our favorite holiday tastes and smells is Gingerbread. That is why we were so excited to try the "seasonal" flavor from Nature's Path of Love Crunch Gingerbread. When I poured the Love Crunch out of the bag the smell was intoxicating and divine. The taste was even better. Because the smell of gingerbread was so overwhelming, I thought that the taste might be too. The good news is it wasn't it was just right, not too overwhelming, perfect really. The boys and I had it for a snack and most of it is already gone, it did not last long around here.

Santa Is Coming To California Holiday Book Review

As a Californian I LOVE to see books that are California based. I love reading books to my son and books that I can tell him he has seen it or been there is super fun. This year my son is understanding what Santa means and about gifts for being a good boy. The book Santa is Coming to California is great! We had a great time reading it together. This can be a great gift for a kid living in or visiting California for the holidays. I am sure a child traveling would be reassured that yes Santa does find all the good kids in California!

They also have other places like Boston, Florida, Wisconsin, the Carolinas and more! These make great holiday gifts to share with your little ones. I know we will be adding this book to our holiday reading along side the Night Before Christmas and The Grinch.

We have been to the Golden Gate bridge many times. Its awesome to see in person!

Santa flew all over California! 

Book Summary:

It's Christmas Eve, Have you been good? Santa's packed up all the presents and is headed your way! With the help of a certain red-nosed reindeer, Santa flies over:

• Los Angeles: Capitol Records
• Los Angeles: Disney Concert Hall
