Have I got an out of this world product line to tell you about from Kidorable! I’ve mentioned this company many times here on my blog because they are a go to for all my children’s rain gear. I’m pleased that for over ten years, this company has created functional and fun children’s apparel of all kinds and keep coming up with great new styles and designs that continue to wow me. In my mind, Kidorable is a name that both parents and children should get excited about.

I was beyond thrilled when I was given the opportunity to review several products from the Kidorable “Space Hero Collection” for my baby boy. This collection is incredibly adorable!  It was right up my alley since we’ve been sticking with an outer space theme since my little boy was born! Rockets, the moon, stars, aliens, astronaut, they totally covered everything I could have ever hoped to find in a rain jacket and more! I was so ecstatic that I  texted my best friend, my husband, and social networked about my find so anyone else that may have been looking for something similar could also see what was offered in the brand new collections!

My friend just got the  brand new Dragon Knight set for her baby boy and oh my gosh both of our sons are totally styling, completely oozing with cuteness! We’ll apologize to them later for all the flashes from cameras, squeezed cheeks from family members, over the top attention, and embarrassing pictures to share with their girl friends and to include in their future graduation photo slide show.

I was sent the Space Hero Raincoat which included a free rocket ship hanger, Space Hero boots,  and the matching Rocket Ship Backpack to review. This collection comes in classic yet bold space man themed colors of gray, blue, and orange. It’s very eye catching and perfect for any child sizes one through six years old.

The Space Hero Raincoat is made out of PVC which is very easy to wipe clean and lined with polyester. It has one flap over pocket on the front, four button snaps from top to bottom, and inner loop for hanging. The raincoat itself has hood that  looks like an astronaut helmet. It’s really cute! My 11 month old baby boy is still growing into this coat as it’s 12-18 months in size. But he can wear it now if I roll up his sleeves. It’s got enough give to put over a bulky sweater too making this rain coat perfect for almost all season!

The Space Hero boots, are perfect for puddle jumping! These are excellent in resisting water with the natural rubber exterior and the top part is cinched so no water gets inside! The cinched top is also perfect for tucking in the bottom of your child’s pants. These boots are light weight so it won’t weigh down your children’s feet as they are walking or running. Speaking of running, the non-skid soles improve traction on wet surfaces and are great in preventing accidents.  You can easily wipe these clean after a day in the mud! This style of boot is available in My First (size 5), children’s sizes 6-13, plus young adult sizes 1 and 2.

If you are wanting to decorate the walls of your home,  I would recommend checking out vinyl art and lettering. Vinyl is a great alternative to having pieces of  framed art that needs mounted and also to painting designs and murals on the walls. I for one love to decorate but have held back because of living in rental homes and apartments where such things are just not allowed. I think it’s great to have a reasonably priced solution and option to my household designing needs!

I recently was introduced to a great vinyl wall decal company called Belvedere Designs. This company specializes in offering unique vinyl wall art! The options are endless as you can pick specifics quotes,  single words, or a particular art design from their many categories! You have the options of choosing a favored font style, color, and a specific size that’s perfect for wherever you’d like to display your wall quote or art. And if you don’t see something you like that’s already offered, they also take custom request!

I was sent a wall quote from their Religious quote category to review and share my thoughts on which reads ” The Approval of The Lord Matters More Than The Applause of Men”.  I had my husband read the included instructions and apply the quote to the corner in our living room. The instructions were very easy to follow and in about 10-15 minutes tops I had a lovely quote on wall for all to see.

I quite enjoyed browsing the the Fall 2011 and Seasonal Collection. Both categories have many great designs that I’d be more than happy to showcase in my home through out the year and during specific holidays. The prices are reasonable and the products are hassle free making decorating a cinch! The designs are simple yet stylish, professional yet not pain staking,  and can make your home or office look great in a matter of minutes!

I highly recommend checking out Belvedere Designs for all your wall art needs! And if you know somebody you think would love something like this, you can also purchase gift certificates straight from their website. Defiently a unique one of a kind gift to give this Holiday Season and there really is something there for everyone especially since you can go really personal and get a custom design done!
