We were sent a set of Goody Simple Styles Modern Spin Pins, Goody Boar Ceramic Cusion Brush, Black Quality Studded Jaw Clip , & a set of Printed Sparkle Snap Clips!

We can vouch that all of the products we were sent to check out where of the highest quality and at such an affordable price! My daughter who loves anything that sparkles really favored the printed snap clips and I’m happy that even with her thin hair, they clipped in well and didn’t come out with hours of wear. The spin pins are something I use everyday! It’s not often I come across a hair accessory that can give such a desirable time in only a few minutes. The studded jaw clip finishes of any look casual or a bit more formal, and the the ceramic cushion brush really does make my hair more shiny and silky looking!

Do you have a little one in your home that loves to pretend to fix things or likes to take things apart? If so, they’d probably love the environmentally friendly Green Toys Tool Set that comes in boy and girl friendly colors! My children both a son and daughter, ages 4 and nearly two years year have been quite taken and play with this set daily. A huge continual playability factor for any toy is always win and a by a company we already love makes that even better!

If you haven’t heard about Green Toys, you should know they are doing wonders in reducing their carbon footprint. They offer a great collection of products made in the USA that are created from food-safe recycled milk jugs that save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions!

No more worries about what your little one touches or puts in their mouth with these toys as they contain no BPA, PVC, phthalates, or external coatings. Green Toys is doing every thing they can to save energy by focusing on transportation cost even when it comes down to packaging!

Let’s talk more about the toolset! This set is made up of 15 pieces which includes a tool box, phillips screwdriver, flat screwdriver, hammer, saw, wrench, pliers, 2 two-hole connectors, 2 nails, 2 bolts, and 2 nuts. The names of each of the tools are on the tools themselves which is great for word recognition for early readers! The toolbox has premade holes that the screws and nails are designed to go into which is great for practicing those fine motor skills!

My kids have been having so much fun with this set. They even had some friends over that are the same age and all the kids were pretty much glued to playing with the tool set. I will say that the set is a bit limited. If your child likes to build a lot you want to look for something else. This set is great though for children who want to practice their hammering and screwdriver skills or just for using it for imaginative play.

The pieces in this set are very durable! I can’t see these pieces breaking easily at all. There’s no rough edges and the set looks as new today as it did two weeks ago when I presented it to my children. The set is recommend for children ages two and up.

I really like this set and it’s perfect for my little boy (turns 2 in January). The only thing I hope for is to be able to buy more nail and screw pieces because they sometimes can get misplaced!

Buy it: You can purchase the Green Toys Tool Set in Blue on Amazon.com for 21.56 or on the Green Toys Website.

About the Movie:

Finding Nemo follows the momentous journey of a clownfish named Marlin and his young son Nemo. When the two are unexpectedly separated in the Great Barrier Reef, Nemo is carried far from his ocean home and deposited in a fish tank in a dentist’s office. Buoyed by the companionship of Dory, a friendly-but-forgetful blue tang fish, Marlin embarks on a dangerous trek and finds himself the unlikely hero of an epic effort to rescue his son––who hatches a few daring plans of his own to return safely home.

Our Thoughts…

My family and I were very excited to get a copy of the newest Disney release Finding Nemo: Collector’s Edition on Blu-Ray/DVD Combo to review. This movie features and amazingly stunning underwater world like no other we’ve lain our eyes on. Another reason I was thrilled to share this movie with my kids is because we will be going to a newly opened aquarium very soon. And watching Finding Nemo is kind of a sneek peak at some of the aquatic life that they’ll get to see!

On this three disc combo pack which includes both the Blu-Ray version of the film as well as the DVD version, you’ll find plenty of awesome bonus features! Our favorites are always the theatrical shorts and the one found on this DVD is called “Knick Knack” and it didn’t disappoint! I like that Pixar typically always includes with their films and it’s worth collecting them all knowing you’ll get to see them as well as the featured movie.

Other bonus content that you’ll find on this combo pack includes a featurette called “Finding Nemo: A Filmmakers’ Discussion”, an aquriuam feature, CineExplore, artwork, deleted scenes, an alternate opening, outtakes, and much more! There is also a Disney Movie Reward code for those who collect them for great rewards on the Disney Rewards website. Also, with the reward code, you’ll receive a free movie admission to Monsters, Inc 3D (up to $10), which will be in theaters on December 19th.

We would highly recommend this movie! You can purchase Finding Nemo (Three-Disc Collector’s Edition: Blu-ray/DVD in Blu-ray Packaging) right now on Amazon.com for $27.36 & this item ships for FREE with Super Saver Shipping! You can easily order today and get this title before Christmas if you hurry!
