Lately the weather has been a little hot here in California. I don’t like the heat and when it is in the upper nineties and when it gets to the triple digits, I try to stay inside. Today the weather was nice and I had a little Picnic In The Park Celebration planned for the day. This month is National Park & Recreation Month and I have been trying to take my kids to the park as much as I can. …
The kids have been home the last month for summer vacation from school and have been constantly asking me “what can we do?”. On most days I tell them to get some fresh air and play outside but on the days that have been too hot to play outside, I have provided them with plenty of arts & crafts to keep them busy.
We received one of the Cute Canine Corrugate Craft Kits from the Roseart 3D Create ‘n’ Color product line.With this product you assemble the pre-cut, interlocking pieces to create your figure. You then use the markers that are provided with the kit (or your own) to give it color and some creativity. This product says that it is for children ages 5+, but my 13 year old is the one that actually put it together. If you buy this for a young child, you might have to help them put it together depending on which figure you are putting together.
Here are the features of the Cute Canine:
All three of my daughters helped with this project. My 13 year old put it together while the 7 and 15 year old helped to color the cute dog. If you look closely, you will see a pink line that my 4 year old snuck and added to the dog’s face while his sisters were not looking. He didn’t like that his sisters left him out on this one. 🙂
Roseart has a HUGE variety of products to entertain your children, keep them busy as well as get their imagination going this summer. If you are interested in the Roseart 3D Create ‘n” Color products, they have an assortment of the corrugate crafts kits that include hanging creatures, large environments, table standees and play sets. They also have the RoseArt’s 3D Create ‘n’ Color Wooden Craft Kits that I would like to get for my kids too!

This month I learned about the Champion For Kids organization. This is an organization that was founded in 2004 that has been helping to improve the lives of children in different communities all across America and beyond. On their website you can find Simple Service Projects that help you with ideas on how you can help children in need in your community.
I am currently working on my second Simple Service Project this month for Champion For Kids. I am currently working on the Spinbrush Spin Into Action project where I am asked to gather my family, friends and co-workers to provide toothbrushes, toothpaste and other dental care items for children in my community.
By gathering these dental care donations and giving to a community in my area in need, I know my efforts can Help Them Smile! Over 19% of children ages 2 through 19 have untreated cavities and tooth decay is one of the most common diseases of childhood. I know that I can’t help everyone, but I know whatever donation I can come up with is going to help some children in my community.
Today I went on a shopping trip to Walmart in search of the Arm & Hammer Spinbrush toothbrushes. I did find some of the toothbrushes, but they didn’t have that big of a variety. Now the store had a whole isle full of toothbrushes, toothpaste and other dental products, just not a huge selection of the Arm & Hammer Spinbrushes yet.
Here is just some of the selection of the kid’s toothbrushes at Walmart. I know that they make the Spinbrushes for kids but I didn’t see any. Since this is not my normal Walmart that I regularly shop at I am going to look the next time I am shopping to see if my preferred store has them.
Then there is the other children’s oral care products that I found. I like that Walmart not only has a good variety of toothbrushes and toothpaste for kids, they also have children’s mouthwash and rinse products too!
To see more pictures of my shopping trip and my donation, visit my #SpinbrushCFK Google + Album. I will be adding more pictures to this album once I have more dental care items in my donation box.
Over the next week I am going to ask my friends, family and maybe a few of my neighbors if they want to add to my #SpinbrushCFK donation. Right now I plan on giving my donation to the Children’s Receiving Home Of Sacramento. This is a safety net for the Sacramento area’s abused and neglected children between the ages of 1 and 17. This is one place that I know that my donation will be appreciated and go to good use.
Like I mentioned previously, this is my second Simple Service Project For Champion For Kids that I am participating in this month. I know that my donation isn’t much, but I know it will help others in need and I love the feel of giving back. Now that I know about the Champion For Kids organization, I definitely want to participate in more of the Simple Service Projects and I encourage you to participate in at least one of them if you can afford to donate!

As an K-Cup Ambassador, I knew it would be my duty to tell you about TWO brand new Brew Over Ice beverages available in the K-Cup packs that Green Mountain Coffee just launched.
Since it is summer, I know that I plan on brewing some of the the Brew Over Ice K- Cup packs that I have saved for those HOT days. Yesterday I tried the new Sweet & Creamy Iced Coffee K-Cup packs in the Regular flavor and LOVE it. I think this just might be my new FAVORITE coffee. I didn’t even have to add sugar to it but did add a little bit of creamer because I have to have it. You can also find the Donut Shop Sweet & Creamy Iced Coffee in Hazelnut flavor too!
Green Mountain also just launched the Vitamin Burst K-Cup packs that are awesome. They provide you an ice cold beverage that is high in antioxidant vitamin C!
For those that have a Keurig brewer, what is your favorite K-Cup flavor?

A couple years ago I asked Santa to buy me a Wii. I am a mom that loves to play video games and had wanted a Wii so I could buy the Wii Fit. Well Santa brought me what I wanted and I tried to keep it from the kids, but it didn’t work. Once my 4 year old son learned what a Nintendo Wii was, he was addicted.
We recently have been playing the new Madagascar 3 on the Wii. When I first received the game to review, my son was so excited. He played it for a few hours and kept asking to play longer. When you play the game, you are can choose to play the role of your favorite Madagascar characters including Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Gloria the Hippo and Melman the Giraffe. My son’s FAVORITE character to play is Marty the Zebra.
When playing Madagascar 3, your character you choose to play travels through Europe by the way of a traveling circus in a mission to make it home to New York. You will get to experience the excitement of the circus by completing different challenges like performing crazy publicity stunts on some of Europe’s popular landmarks. You can also steal the show and thrill the audience by performing unique combinations of action and adventure.
Madagascar 3 is available for the Nintendo Wii™ system, Nintendo 3DS™ system, Nintendo DS™ system, Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and PlayStation®3. Right now you can buy Madagascar 3 for the Wii on Amazon for only $28.99.
