For those of you that have Bratz fans on your shopping list, there is a line of these dolls called the Bratz Action Heroez that come cute with colorful action hero outfit and capes that are a ton of fun!

Each of the Bratz Action Heroez dolls not only come with their own cute and stylish costumes, they also have their own special power and world too! For those with an iPhone/iPad/iPod, you can download the Bratz Action Heroez iTunes app for FREE to have even more fun with the Bratz! This isn’t a requirement for the doll but definitely a bonus.

We received the Bratz Action Heroez  Shira to review and her special power is flight.  Shira also comes with an mini action Hero figurine that unlocks 2 exciting games!

My kids happen to LOVE games. I think my daughter Hannah might have enjoyed the iTunes app/game a little more than the doll but right now her and her brother LOVE games. They enjoy the games where you have something in real life that you can turn into reality online or through a gaming device. I just wish they would have had this type of technology when I was a kid!

Just because I am a mom and I am married doesn’t mean that I can’t have a little fun with the hubby. There might not be a whole lot of time when the kids are not around but as a couple, we make time to keep the marriage afloat.
This past month I have been going to school full time. In between homework, work and spending time with the family, there isn’t a whole lot of extra time. While I would LOVE to take hour long showers or long hot bubble baths, there really usually isn’t time for it. I might get a quick 10 minute shower in the morning or in the evenings but hardly ever longer than that. We have a family of six and this house only has 1 bathroom.

So on the little occasions where the hubby and I get a private moment to ourselves, there might not be that extra 10 minutes for me to take a shower. When it comes time to have fun with the hubby, I prefer to feel fresh and of course sexy.  Good hygiene is something I am always worried about. For those worried about keeping fresh before those intimate moments, there are the Fresh & Sexy Wipes from Playtex.

These aren’t the baby wipes that you might have around your house, these are the wipes for the moms and dads who want to something to grab when they need a quick freshening up. These wipes might be great to use after a long day of work, an exercise workout, sports activities, etc.

The Fresh & Sexy Wipes are conveniently available in different sizes. You can carry them in your purse, gym bag or maybe hide a few in the car….

I bought a carton of the Fresh & Sexy 20 count wipes at Walmart but they are also available in Travel Size and a Tub that is 40 count. Check out my Google + album from my shopping there here.  These Fresh & Sexy wipes would also be great to take on vacation too!

When it comes to fun and games, you can always count on Hasbro to come up with new games to keep the family entertained as well as the classics! Hasbro has a game out called Chasin’ Cheeky (Elefun’s newest friend) that is a ton of fun for the little ones, especially if they like purple monkeys. I actually found out about the Chasin’ Cheeky Monkey at party with Hasbro in Chicago during BlogHer13 in July and I knew that my youngest would want to play with this new monkey.

Chasin’ Cheeky is a silly ring toss game where the players run around the room trying to put their colored ring on the monkey’s tall tail geared for children ages 3+. My son that is 5 thinks the monkey is entertaining. He couldn’t wait to play with it as soon as he found out that I had it.

Here is how the game works:

1. Race to be the first to get your rings on Chasin’ Cheeky’s tail and do the Chasin’ Cheeky dance together
2. Run, toss, and dance with Chasin’ Cheeky
3. Take the banana from Chasin’ Cheeky’s mouth to see the Chasin’ Cheeky dance
4. Place the banana back in Chasin’ Cheeky’s mouth and scatter your rings to play again

To see Chasin’ Cheeky in action, check out this fun video review from TimeToPlayMag.com on YouTube:

 
This definitely is fun for any little one that loves purple monkeys! This might make or a perfect gift for the upcoming holidays.

There are days when you just have to have a cup of coffee. Or maybe two or three. For those of you that prefer to go out and get a cup of hot coffee instead of brewing one at home but hate the price tag that comes along with those fancy coffees, I have the perfect solution. This solution won’t break your pocket either. 🙂

This weekend I discovered the Rubi Kiosks when I went to grab some groceries at Walmart. These are red kiosks like the ones we now use to rent movies with, but these red kiosk pour delicious hot and FRESH coffee that is convenient. Not just any coffee either, my new friend Rubi has Seattle’s Best Coffee.

When I first seen the coffee kiosk I was a little skeptical. When it comes to coffee, I tend to be a little picky. Once got closer to the machines I started to get excited. There is a variety of flavors of coffee to choose from. They also have hot chocolate which is a huge bonus. When it gets a little colder I will be definitely grabbing a hot cup of coffee to keep me warm while I am shopping.

This weekend I tried the Cafe Vanilla flavor on National Coffee Day. I then went back last night and grabbed a cup of the Cafe Mocha. I think that both of these flavors where yummy! I didn’t have to personalize the coffee either, it was delicious without having to add anything. The beans are grounded right when you make your order. For those of you that like extra flavor you have the option to customize your cup with some milk and sweetener options too!

I took a video of my little experience with the #Rubi2Go kiosk last night that I thought I would share to show you just how easy it is to make some yummy fresh ground coffee:

 
I had found this particular Rubi kiosk inside my local Walmart but they happen have these handy coffee kiosks all over the place! To find a Rubi near you, visit: www.HelloRubi.com.

“I participated in a campaign for Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Wet Ones. I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating”.

I can’t believe that the kids and I have been back in school for over a month now. I am enrolled full time this semester and this school year all four of my children are back in school. The days have went by fast, been a little hectic but definitely on a good start for everyone.

Let’s talk about SCHEDULES! This school year my son goes to school for only a few hours, one daughter is in an after school program, another one is in sports and another one in student government that needs to be at games and school events. There are days when it seems like I should be called Mom Taxi! We all have different schedules and thank goodness for calendars so we can keep track of everything that is going on.

With our busy schedules, the one thing I try to keep with me at all times is Wet Ones. They come in handy when I pick up the kids from school and don’t have time to run home to wash up, especially when my son who enjoys playing in the dirt! The Wet Ones wipes also come in handy when I go to school. Kids are not the only ones who are messy. You should see how much dirt and germs you can clean up with just one of the Wet Ones wipes on a college classroom desk.

Wet Ones has created an online booklet that is filled with “Sticky Situations” from both moms and teachers. This book is a FREE resource that features notable moments, tips and advice that celebrates all of life’s “Sticky Situations”! To download a copy of this free booklet, visit: https://bit.ly/19PnifK.

If you have kids in school, what do you keep handy for quick cleanups?
