I’m excited to let you know that just recently MommyParties and Oral-B gave me the opportunity to share some fantastic products with my own family, extended family, and other moms that I know with younger children through a Winnie the Pooh DVD viewing party for the kids.

I was thrilled to be picked as a host. I am all about spreading the news about products that can benefit needs in our day to day life. The products that I was sent that every mom was able to take home and keep for their kids in my pre-made gift party bags included Oral-B stage 1&2 brushes, Oral-B Toothpaste ( themed for both girls and boys), Disney Lavender body wash, an information pamphlet all about Oral-B Stages products, and very much appreciated coupons!

My own daughter which is three years old was pretty excited and couldn’t wait to brush her teeth with her new tooth paste! I heard the same from the other mothers as well following up after our celebration! It really helps that Oral-B teamed up with Disney to feature well loved characters kids have grown to love.

My son is 11 months old and we’ve been getting him into the routine of brushing his teeth. He’s got six teeth currently with two more on the way! I honestly can’t believe he got so many teeth so quickly! No worries though, Oral-B makes choosing the right dental hygiene products for me and other mothers so easy with their Stages products.

Oral-B currently has three stages. The first is for 4-24 month old babies. These brushes have non-slip handles, help protect tender gums, fits babies’ small mouths, and makes brushing fun with Disney Baby characters. I’m pleased to say my son is getting pretty good holding and brushing the toothbrush all on his own pretty well! The second stage of products are for 2-4 year olds and the third for 5-7 year old children. Each stage is a little different than the previous completely covering everything needed as children grow older.

A lot of information was given out in my party bags but I also wanted to point out that there’s a really handy guide about dental care on the Oral-B website for anyone else interested in the Oral-B products if you already aren’t a fan!

Overall I got a fantastic response from both the kids and their parents about the great products by Oral-B. And with all the great benefits, it’s no wonder that Oral-B is #1 dentist recommended toothbrush brand for kids.

You can find Oral-B products at most retail and drugstores. Be sure to checkout Oral – B on Facebook and Twitter for the latest news , discounts, and promotions!

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.

Caldecott Favorites Featuring 23 Award Winning Stories
in  The Snowy Day 3 pk. DVD Collection.

Caldecott award winners including Ezra Jack Keats’ The Snowy Day, Hans Christian Andersen’s The Ugly Duckling and Denise Fleming’s In the Small, Small Pond come together for the first time in Caldecott Favorites!

The Caldecott Medal was named in honor of nineteenth-century English illustrator Randolph Caldecott, and it is awarded annually by the American Library Association, to the artist of the most distinguished American picture book for children. On November 22, Scholastic Storybook Treasures will pay homage to this prestigious award with CALDECOTT FAVORITES, a 3-disc set featuring timeless adaptations of some of the 20th Century’s best loved children’s literature.

Highlighted by Caldecott Award winners Robert McCloskey’s “Make Way for Ducklings” (1942) and “The Snowy Day” (1963) by Ezra Jack Keats and Caldecott Honor stories “In the Small, Small Pond” and Jerry Pinkney’s “The Ugly Duckling” — which are packaged together for the very first time in CALDECOTT FAVORITES — the set also features modern classics such as “Bear Snores On”, “Bark George”, “The Story About Ping”, “Antarctic Antics” and more!

Perfect for building early reading skills, the set features the ever-popular enhanced read along function, bonus stories and Spanish versions of “The Snowy Day”, “Whistle for Wille” and “Make Way for Ducklings”. Stories teach children the importance of being honest, being light hearted, and respecting themselves, others, and the world around them. Run time of the collection in entirety is 199 minutes.

My family personally enjoyed this collection very much. My three and a half year old daughter was quite taken with The Story of Ping and the Snowy Day story the most. Though I’ve noticed her taking a like to a few of the others the more she has watched. She now keeps asking me when it’s going to snow. That might be a problem because it doesn’t snow too often where we live in Oregon. So this mom is crossing her fingers and hoping for a little snow. But until then we will continue to bundle up for family movie afternoon’s and night as we make Caldecott’s Favorites some of our very own!

If you are interested in purchasing Caldecott Favorites Featuring The Snowy Day DVD collection, it’s $18.99 & eligible for FREE Super Saver Shipping at Amazon.com and perfect for gift giving this holiday season! A must have for home, libraries, and the classroom!
