Name Your Tune CD Review and Giveaway


I was recently given the opportunity to review the Name Your Tune personalized CD. Now, my girls have received CDs similar to this, but they were never very interested in them because usually the songs were ones they had never heard. I was really pleased that this CD had songs they were familiar with! They loved hearing their names in songs like Old MacDonald and If You're Happy and You Know It. I also liked that I was able to get one CD that had both kids names on it! The songs alternated whose name was inserted. I think these CDs would make really great Christmas and birthday presents for any child, boy or girl. Here is some info from the Name Your Tune website:

Name Your Tune CD is a fresh and exciting children's music compilation that is made-to-order and features your child's name more than 80 times throughout the 14-song CD. The songs include the children's songs that we all know and love.

We can incorporate multiple names on a Name Your Tune CD...with pleasure. There is no extra cost to have more than one name included throughout our songs. To do this, we alternate songs between the names. When you place your order, simply put the names in the space indicated.

Name Your Tune Playlist

    1. Hello, How Are You?
    2. If You're Happy And You Know It
    3. Old MacDonald
    4. Oh How I Want to Go
    5. Wheels on the Bus
    6. Boom Boom, Ain't It Great To Be YOU!
    7. Down By The Park
    8. The More We Get Together
    9. Head and Shoulders
    10. There are Seven Days
    11. Rainbow Song
    12. ABC Medley
    13. I Don't Want To Live On The MoonInstrumental Lullaby

Name Your Tune features dynamic performances by Lenny Graf (Parent Choice Award winning and Juno nominated children's performer), Paul Humphrey, Barbara Vermeullen, and Tracey Erin Smith.

Special Features:

  • Adding a personal message from you on the CD label makes Name Your Tune all the more special and a treasured keepsake.

Zhu-Zhu Pets Review and Giveaway (Closed)

I was recently given the opportunity to review a brand new toy that is not even available in stores yet! This toy is called Zhu-Zhu Pets. It is a battery operated hamster and habitat for it to play in. Zhu-Zhu Pets sent us two hamsters and most of the playsets from their new line. I have to say, I was a little skeptical about this toy actually being interesting to my kids. My three year old, however, loved it! She has been playing with her hamster non-stop since we opened the package! The little hamsters are pretty cute and they make some really fun little noises!
Zhu-Zhu Pets has a wide variety of playsets for the hamsters to play and interact on. Even a traditional hamster wheel for the little guys to run on!
Different playsets trigger different noises and each hamster has it's own unique personality. One of the hamsters they sent us crows like a rooster! The other is a little more quiet and stick more to small squeaks and coos.
I have to say, I think these are pretty neat toys. We are very anti-noise making toys, but these are not too obnoxious and they turn themselves off after a few minutes of not being interacted with. They are a great alternative if you have a little one who wants a pet (like my daughter) but either don't want to deal with the care of a real hamster or are not allowed to have pets due to where you live(like us). The only complaint I have is that the habitat areas are not the easiest to get together and do not stay together super well. That being said, I would still recommend these as great Christmas (or otherwise) presents for toddlers.

MomSelect and Zhu-Zhu Pets would like to offer you a chance to win your very own hamster and slide! Just leave a comment on this post telling me the name of your favorite Zhu-Zhu Pets Hamster! On August 31st, I will have my girls draw a name and will put up a new post announcing the winner! Good luck everyone!

I would like to thank MomSelect for the opportunity to do this review and giveaway!

Sun Burst Laundry Detergent Review and Giveaway (Closed)

Thanks to the great folks over at MomSelect, I was recently given the opportunity to try a bottle Sun Burst Liquid Laundry Detergent in the Clean and Fresh Scent. With my two messy little girls and no washing machine in our apartment, we are always looking for ways to make doing laundry a little easier! The fact that this detergent is 2x concentrated means it is in a smaller bottle! Gotta love that when you have to haul it downstairs and half way across the apartment complex to wash clothes!

But, of course, portability is not the only important thing to a mom of two icky, sticky toddlers. Does it get the clothes clean and does it smell good? Yes, to both! I like the smell because it wasn't too overpowering, but it was also not so subtle that you couldn't tell the clothes had even been washed! And, it did at least as good a job getting out stains as other detergents we've used.


Well, MomSelect not only hooked me up with a bottle of detergent to try, they also gave me five coupons for a free bottle of detergent to give out to you! Head over to the Sun Detergents website and leave me a comment with your favorite scent for a chance to win! I will have to girls draw names on August 31st to pick the winners! Good luck!

Thank you MomSelect for the opportunity to do this review!

DAY TWO QUESTION

Traditions, what are some of your favorite family traditions? What are some that you want to begin?


We don't really have many traditions. Our Christmases are still kinda spent on the run visiting all our relatives, so we haven't really had a chance to form our own traditions yet. Someday, I'd like to be bale to spend Christmas morning with just us and then maybe do some visiting int he afternoon. I'd like to have the morning to eat a nice breakfast and open presents and watch my kis play before the whirlwind of family begins...maybe someday :)

MomDot Blog Party - Day 1

DAY ONE QUESTION

Introduce us to your family and share Holiday pics of years past


Well, I have two baby girls and am married to my wonderful husband, Nathan. Christmases for us tend to be pretty hectic. All our family (including all grandparents) lives about two hours away and so, we make the drive and spend the holidays with everyone. It can be pretty hectic. Both my daughters were born on December 21st. They were born two years apart, but those Christmases were even more hectic than usual. I had c-sections with both of them but we still made it in to visit family. Like I said...interesting. Well, here are some pics:

This was last year's thank you note to everyone.
