Fijit Friends Newbies Review

May 2, 2012 by Stefani Tolson 16 Comments

Last year we hosted a Fijit Friends Party and the kids played with a couple of the original Fijit Friends and had a blast. For those that are unfamiliar, the Fijits are cute little interactive toys that can recognize different phrases and music and will even dance to the music if you want them to. I even found myself playing with these cute toys during and after the party.

My favorite part of these toys is that they are extremely CUTE. Take a peek below:

These are the original Fijit Friends

Now available are the Fijit Friends Newbies…

Mother’s Day Gift Idea: Chocolate Covered Oreos From ProFlowers (Review)

May 1, 2012 by Stefani Tolson 18 Comments

When it comes to sweets, I am a big fan of chocolate. I am a fan of Oreos and I usually like to dip them in milk. That is until I discovered Chocolate Covered Oreos.

When the FedEx lady dropped a package off yesterday and I found this beautiful glass container of these colorful wrapped cookies inside, I honestly thought of hiding it.

I decided I would just put it on my bookshelf in my room and hopefully nobody would notice. It was a long shot, but better then feeling bad for hiding the goodies. A few minutes later I heard the hubby yelling down from the hall, “Babe, what is this?”. I already knew what he was asking about…

So I have been sharing these cookies and these cookies are really delicious. With how pretty the look, you think you want to only eat one and savor the flavor. But after eating one, there is definitely thoughts of eating another. I still have some left, but I know they are not going to last very long because I have kids and a husband that like Oreos too! This is something that would make for unique gifts for mom, especially for those of you with moms that have a sweet tooth.

I like that after the cookies are gone, you are left with a beautiful glass that you can use to decorate with. I also like the pretty chocolate drizzles on the cookie as it makes them look like gourmet cookies.

These Chocolate Covered Oreos can be purchased at ProFlowers, which has a ton of Mother’s Day gift ideas. You don’t have to order flowers to her door, you can order sweets too!

My Wild Adventure At Florida EcoSafaris

April 30, 2012 by Stefani Tolson 19 Comments

I am afraid of heights, but I am always up for an adventure. I believe that we only live once, so I want to experience as many of the fun parts of life as I can while I am here. I actually have always thought of zip lining as something a little on the wild side and something that I probably would never get a chance to do. That was until I was invited to Florida for the #DisneyGlobalEvent and going to Florida EcoSafaris was on the agenda of places our group was going to see.

I had already heard of Florida EcoSafaris from a reading a few of my friends blogs online. I had seen pictures of them zip lining and remembering thinking to myself, “they are crazy”. When I found out I was going, I was excited and thought to myself, I am up for a challenge and now I get to be the crazy one too!

Now here is the platform that you have to climb for a journey of SEVEN different zip lines

And I was brave and completed all 7 zip lines

At first I was afraid, but it got easier each time!

My roommates on the trip also had fun zip lining with me!

Tricia (The Night Owl Mama), Me, Caryn (Rockin Mama), and Stefanie (Mommy Musings)

Check me out in action zip lining at Florida EcoSafaris…

After I was done with the Zipline Safari that consisted of zip lining to SEVEN different platforms, I was ready for more adventure. I was lucky and we also had time to try the new Rattlesnake Roller Coaster Zip Line. This is the first ride of its kind in the US and it just opened last month to the public. This is a zip line has you launching from a 65 foot platform that takes you flying through the trees, swinging, swooping and dipping through 1000 feet of adventure at speeds up to 20 MPH. This ride is a zip line that feels like a roller coaster and it is a BLAST!

Here is me on the end of The Rattlesnake..

Now that I am back home, I want to go back. At Florida EcoSafaris there is more adventures waiting for me. In addition to the two different zip lines adventures I got to experience, they also have a cypress canopy cycle ride, a coach safari, horseback safari, the Peregrine Plunge, the Panther Pounce, the Swooping Crane and more.

IMAX: Born to Be Wild Combo Pack Review

April 28, 2012 by Stefani Tolson 12 Comments

This month I have experienced nature at it’s finest. I took fear to new heights by zip lining 3,000 miles away from home, went to a red carpet premiere for the new Disneynature movie Chimpanzee that just came out, went on a air boat where I had the chance to hold a baby alligator and I even took a trip to see the ocean and stick my feet in the sand.

Seventh Generation Diapers Review & Giveaway

April 26, 2012 by Stefani Tolson 24 Comments

I am a mom that has done her fair share of diaper changing. I officially have no children in diapers anymore and I can’t be more happy. Not only is my son finally a Big Boy, this mom doesn’t have to waste any more money buying diapers and wipes.

With each of my children I tried to buy the generic diapers to save money. The generic diapers also seemed to give my babies a rash so I avoided using them and saved diaper coupons as a way to save money. So with all my children, I went with name brand diapers for years. With my last child, Seventh Generation came out with diapers. I had been a fan of Seventh Generation’s cleaning products and was excited when they came out with a line of diapers.

Here is some information I would like to share about the Seventh Generation baby products:

NEW Overnight Diapers are absorbent enough to keep your baby and bedding dry through the night or during prolonged travel
Free & Clear diapers have improved more flexible tabs that provide even better fit
Free & Clear training pants have an absorbent core made with more renewable, plant-based materials. They also feature stretchy, tear away side panels for a better fit and added convenience, as well as inner leak barriers for superior leakage protection
Products do not contain chlorine, fragrance, petroleum-based lotions or latex, and all Free & Clear products are also hypo-allergenic

What is also neat is that last month Seventh Generation came out with limited edition Lorax prints on their diapers and training pants. The prints have been designed to help remind parents and caregivers of the lessons of The Lorax and encourage family reading and environmental awareness.
