We are very happy Costco Club members and are really thrilled with the value we can get for our favorite brands when it comes to stocking our cupboards and feeding my family. I’m pleased to share that the value of buying our favorite breakfast cereal, Cheerios® has become an even better purchase thanks to the new 2 box packages available at all Costcos, Sam’s Club, and BJ’s.

I recently recieved the New 2 box Cheerios through My Blog Spark to share my thoughts on. First most, the 2 box packages contain two individual boxes, making them easier to store in my pantry and easier to pour into our breakfast cereal bowls. 

Other great things to mention is that By reducing the amount of air in each individual bag, these enhanced containers fit 10% more cereal than before and use less packaging. Also while each box contains more cereal, packaging material has been reduced by over 200,000 lbs, saving 1,000 trees and taking 130 Cheerios trucks of the road, decreasing CO2 emissions!

Be sure to check out the Cheerios Website to learn more about all the great features and benefits of their product! And be sure to check out the video below!

Win it!

2 Winners will be chosen to win! The prize is (2) new 2 box Cheerios packaging (four boxes).
As a mom of two young ones, I’ll take all the Cheerios I can get and what better a giveaway
to stock up your pantry for the Spring and Summer season!

Snails, Pails, and Puppy Dog Tails are definitely the things little boys are made out of. My little boy nearly 1 1/2 years old has taught me growing up with my four sisters and no brothers that boys go by some different rules for sure! He loves getting dirty, no the louder the better, he test the integrity of everything he comes across, and if any toy moves like a car or truck it’s a win. And that’s why I am thrilled to share about a fantastic Mini Vehicle Set recently introduced from Green Toys Brand new 2012 line that’s built with our little boys (or girls) in mind!

Green Toys is an awesome company that does everything it possibly can to reduce their carbon footprint and offer great products for children of all ages! I love this company and will continue to support them in buying products from their numerous lines for my own children and to share praises with everyone I know!

My nearly 1 1/2 year old son Owen, has lately been spending his days playing with the Mini Vehicle Set from Green Toys. This particular set comes with four vehicles: an white Ambulance, Blue Police Car, Yellow Taxi, and Red Fastback! These cars are mini sized making them ideal for the hands of young children and easier to control!

The unique design of this set of vehicles features no metal axles or external coatings. No BPA, phthalates or PVC. Packaged with recycled and recyclable materials and printed with soy inks. I for one am really loving the durability as my son has thrown, stepped on, gnawed (still teething), and put these cars through the ringer so to speak. We’ve let the kids play with these in tub, sand box,in and outdoors and still the cars look as good as brand new!

Overall I’m very pleased with these made in the USA set of vehicles from Green Toys. Honestly, you have to love a product that’s great for the environment being made from 100% recycled plastic milk jugs and that’s completely safe for your kids!

If you are thinking of purchasing the Mini Vehicle Set, it will cost you anywhere about $18 depending on where you purchase it. I found the Green Toys Mini Vehicle Set (4 Pack)on Amazon.com for $17.50 & eligible for FREE Super Saver Shipping on all orders over $25.00. (note that prices change often on Amazon so be sure to check the link to see the latest offered price).

Am I ever thrilled about spreading the news about Yo Gabba Gabba’s brand new live DVD “There’s a Party in My City”! My daughter age 3 1/2 years old and my son age 1 are huge fans of Yo Gabba Gabba. Even my husband and I are fans of the shows, and that’s something that often doesn’t just happen. You’ve got a total win when it comes to entertainment that both children and adults can enjoy together.

Yo Gabba Gabba! has a great cast of fun loving characters that teach children lessons in friendship, not giving up, healthy eating, facing fears, and solving many more issues that kids could be facing. One of the reasons we love this show is because it’s very musical, unique, and super colorful! And they managed to pull of being just as awesome live as on the TV show itself and honestly, I can’t say that about a few other live shows I’ve seen.

In “Yo Gabba Gabba! Live! There’s a Party in My City!” the full cast is there, D.J. Lance Rock, Brobee, Toodee, Foofa, Plex, Muno, and many other familiar special guest such as beatboxing legend Biz Markie performing Biz’s Beat of the Day, the incomparable Leslie Hall & DO IT teaching a Dancey Dance, and Super Music Friends Show guest The Aquabats performing everyone’s favorite, “Pool Party.”

My children were so excited when I popped this DVD into our player! They watched it from start to end and sang and danced along with their favorite characters really getting into it all and then asking to watch the 110 minute feature again! I don’t know but that sounds like a real win to me! I even enjoyed watching all the added bonus content on the DVD which included guest interviews and much more!

I highly recommend “Yo Gabba Gabba! Live! There’s a Party in My City!” to all Gabba fans and if you haven’t seen the show, I encourage you to check it out because it’s totally awesome!

Along with the DVD, we were also sent the Yo Gabba Gabba book “It’s Okay Try Again” to review. First, I love this book is in board book format because I’ve got two kids that have been giving this title lots of use! The more durable the better! The book itself is 14 pages long and is based off one of Yo Gabba Gabba’s popular songs from their hit show.

I love the message behind the song and like how the book itself is like a mini episode from the tv show. Brobee get’s frustrated while playing a game but is encouraged to try again and not to give up. This a great message for children of all ages, especially those that are beginning to learn how to handle their feelings. A great way to open the door to discuss with your child about their feelings and what he or she could do instead of getting really upset. Great book, it was definitely a hit with my both my son and daughter!
