Win Some Bliss – Suave Naturals Mango Mandarin Body Wash

May 4, 2010 By Nanette

After the week I had, sick to my stomach, not eating for days because of it an still trying to tend to the kids and all the needs around the house I needed a break.  Not a huge one, not a vacation but just a few blissful moments of peace and tranquility. So what did I do?  I headed straight for the shower.  Just a few quiet moments all to myself. And I got it and enjoyed it with my Suave Naturals Mango Mandarin Body Wash.  It’s mild scent was just what I needed to feel better.  It wasn’t overwhelming like some and it wasn’t so slippery I couldn’t wash it off.  It was just what I needed.

Pillsbury Pizza Crust and Pictureka Review

April 18, 2010 By Nanette

Saturday was our pizza, family fun, movie night and what a blast we had. We started our evening out like this:

Then we added a little bit of this

And a lot of this

Baked it like this for about 15 – 19 minutes

And gobbled it up when it came out like this

Looks pretty yummy huh?  It was super easy and the crust was the best part of the pizza so soft and yummy.  It even beat out all the ooey, gooey, gobs of cheese this time.  Don’t know about you but that’s a rare occurance at our house.  Now this was probably the easiest pizza I have ever made.  We simply used the Pillsbury Pizza Crust (Classic Crust – although it does come in a Thin Crust as well).  We unrolled it, pressed it out with our hands and added the sauce and cheese and popped it in the oven and Voila!  Pizza night began.  So simple, I couldn’t have asked for it to be any easier.

The kids were anxious to get finished up with dinner so we could continue our family night with a couple of games of Pictureka!  This was such a fun game for the kids.  It’s for ages 6 and up and my kiddos caught on really quick. Faster than me I might add.  Little Bug has one awesome memory for these images and Princess was giving Daddy directions on how to play.  Even papa joined in on the fun.  We rounded our evening out with some popcorn and a family movie.  It was a blast from beginning to end.  Why not have your own pizza/family fun night with Pillsbury Pizza Crust and Pictureka!

Rainbow Brite is Back and Brighter Than Ever!

February 6, 2010 By Nanette

rainbow briteYes, that’s right, your childhood favorite is back and she’s brighter than ever.  I received a special Rainbow Brite CD Pak from BSM Media to review with my daughter and extras to share with other moms.

As soon as my daughter saw what they were, she promptly asked if she could have one and popped it into her computer.  So far, everyday she’s asked if she could play her Rainbow Brite CD.  It’s such a flashback to hear but a good flashback.

Rainbow Brite spreads her positive message of kindness, hope and courage.  It’s so good to see those messages we relate to our daughters reinforced loud and clear to hear and learn from.

The beautiful, bright colors will capture your eye, the positive messages will appeal to both yours and your child’s heart.

My little Princess enjoys putting the puzzles pieces together and the video (animated short).  She’s not hooked up to the printer so she can’t print out coloring pages for herself so I get to that part. It’s great to share something positive with my daughter.  Princess is excited too, that she can share the extra CDs with her classmates and friends.

You can visit Rainbow Brite and her two loyal friends Moonglow and Tickled Pink and their companion horse friends: Starlite, Shimmer and Sunrise online by visiting www.rainbowbrite.com There you’ll find four new Rainbow Brite animated adventures in Rainbow Land mini episodes.

She says her favorite is “Tickled Pink, ’cause she’s all pinkalicious and Rainbow Brite ’cause she’s all bluealicious and Moonglow ’cause she’s all purpleicious” (well, at least she’s not partial) and she said it with the biggest, most beautiful smile I’ve ever seen. :)   Anything that makes my little Princess smile like that gets a “gold star” from me.

Oh, I can only imagine how excited Princess will be when she sees the newest Rainbow Brite fashion doll collection, which is now available at Target stores and this month will also become available at Toys R’ Us.  Check www.rainbowbrite.com for availablity.

Disclosure: I was provided with the Rainbow Brite CD pack free of charge from BSM Media Mom Select and Hallmark but it in no way influences my review or my daughters’ enjoyment of the Rainbow Brite line of products and website.
