Disney’s Magical Fireplace Review & Giveaway

by

I have a fireplace, but I am currently out of wood to burn.

For those of you that don’t have a fireplace, but would like to pretend that you do, I have the answer…. Disney’s Magical Fireplace.

Take a sneak peek at my video I just took today:

 

 

Even though I have a fireplace, I think this is almost as close as the real thing. What makes it special is that it is filled with Disney Magic! Be sure when watching the roaring fire, to look for hidden Mickeys and other favorite Disney characters as they mysteriously appear in the shadows. …

I have four kids and there have been many games played at my house. I was once a kid too, so this mom likes to have fun too. Even though a majority of the kids today probably favor electronic video games, it is always fun to break out an old fashion board game once in a while too, especially when they are young!

This year one of my children will be receiving the Zoo Panic from Endless Games for Christmas.   🙂 …

Pillow Pets DS Game Review

by 9 Comments

My youngest two just LOVE the Pillow Pets. Every time we see them at the store, they want mom to buy them another one. If you have a Pillow Pets fan on your shopping list that has a Nintendo DS, you might want to grab them a copy of the Pillow Pets DS game to add in their stocking. 🙂

The Pillow Pets game is a cute interactive game that has characters that are based on the popular Pillow Pets toys. In the game, you take a journey through Dreamland that is the place that happens to be the place that the Pillow Pets go when children go to sleep. Your mission in the game is to find Pillow Pets that are stuck in Dreamland.

Fun features of the game:

  • Players can unlock and collect up to 16 Pillow Pets for play
  • Characters have cute and funny animations
  • 16 expansion levels
  • Colorful graphics

I think this is a totally cute game for my youngest two children, even though I know I will find the other two playing it too. My three daughters love video games and this was something fun to add to their collection.

Right now you can purchase Pillow Pets for DS at Amazon on sale for only $16.99.

ABC Family’s Switched At Birth DVD Review

by 2 Comments

I have found a TV series that I can watch with my daughters. This past week I have been watching the first series of Switched At Birth on DVD. I have some episodes left, but plan to be caught up before the new series airs next month. I actually plan to be caught up on the whole series by the end of this weekend.

From the studio that brought you “The Secret Life of the American Teenager” comes a groundbreaking new drama about the upheaval that two teen girls experience when they discover that they were accidentally switched at birth.

Bay Kennish, a talented graffiti artist with an edgy streak, grew up in a wealthy family with happily married parents and an older brother. Daphne Vasquez, an athletic teenager who lost her hearing at an early age, grew up with a single mother in a working class neighborhood. When the girls’ worlds collide, family bonds are tested, new romances are sparked, and they start to learn that it’s who they are inside that matters, not where they grew up.

Being a mom, I really have enjoyed watching this show with my daughters. When there is a little bit of quiet time, when their is no chaos, me and the girls are watching each of these episodes without missing a minute. I have to say it has brought tears more than a couple times too!

Relive the girls’ journey and catch up before the premiere with “Switched At Birth: Volume 1.” that includes all 10 episodes. In this two-disk DVD set, you will all receive exclusive collectible Switched At Birth iPod skins.

Right now you can purchased Switched At Birth at Amazon for only $19.99 (regularly $29.99).
