to you, my readers!
I'm so sorry I've been horrible about writing lately. Tis the season for every cold, flu and possible craziness in our house.
Oh, and I just finished the holiday baking. Something like 120 dozen cookies, 5 lb of fudge, 8 loaves of bread, truffles, other candies, etc.
Now, I just have to box them all up and get them ready to give away!
Oh, and start wrapping, and find stocking stuffers for men (which in my opinion is basically impossible), and figure out what to do with the kids next week!
Good luck with your holiday fun and hopefully I'll be posting again soon!

Kidorable Review and Giveaway
I have to admit, before this year, my kids didn't have raincoats. We live in California, and frankly, we don't hang out outside in the rain much (and if we do, we use an umbrella). However, this summer Little Miss got it stuck in her head that she needed a raincoat.
I started a search for a raincoat that wasn't bright yellow, and thanks to the many blogs I read, I found Kidorable. Kidorable has a huge assortment of product lines, but I lusted after the raingear! I was contemplating trying to convince hubby that we really did need raincoats when I was offered the chance to review Kidorable's products! I jumped on it, and now both kids are ready for rain!
Kidorable was kind enough to send me two items (so the kids weren't fighting over them, which I'm eternally grateful for!)
We received the Fairy Rain Coat for Little Miss:
and the Pirate Umbrella for Bok Boy:
The kids are ecstatic, and (obviously) have been using them, even without rain!
Kidorable has done an excellent job with their products. They are extremely high quality and have tons of special touches:
The fairy raincoat comes with wings...
And a pocket for carrying fairy dust!
The Pirate umbrella has a sword handle
And of course, a pirate flag!
And Little Miss' new favorite item, the fairy hanger! It's a gorgeous wooden hanger painted with a fairy scene (it came with the raincoat, but she mostly keeps scarves and stuff on it).
Kidorable is an adorable way to keep your kids warm this winter (and safe year-round), since they carry:
One winner will receive a Kidorable Umbrella of their choice.

Yoplait Kids Less Sugar Review and Giveaway
MyBlogSpark recently offered me the opportunity to review Yoplait Kids Less Sugar, and I was thrilled (and the munchkins were also when the pack came in the mail!)
The awesomeness:
* Yoplait Kids comes in fun characters that the kids recognize: Dora, Backyardigans, Diego and Blue.
* Yoplait Kids are wonderful flavors
* Best of all, Yoplait Kids has 25% less sugar than the average of the leading kids' yogurts.
When the coupon came in the mail, Little Miss nagged me until I made a special trip to the store to pick up the yogurt for her. We chose the Strawberry and Strawberry-Vanilla pack of yogurts, and Little Miss didn't even wait until I was inside the house before she had grabbed a spoon and was tearing open the package.
Both Little Miss and Bok Boy love the flavor and texture, and I love the fact that each container is only 100 calories, with only 13 grams of sugar.
Besides the wonderful coupon for yogurt, we also received a Yoplait cooler (to keep it cold when you go to the park), a pair of color-changing spoon, a reusable place mat with games on it, and a fuzzy twist game.
So, who of you would love to try the Yoplait Kids for yourself? (Who wouldn't!)
Thanks to MyBlogSpark, 2 lucky readers will receive the same pack that I received!

I'm so sorry everyone!
Alright everyone, I'm begging your forgiveness for my lack of recent posts. The last month has been super crazy in my house, and I ignored all of you because of it, and I apologize!
In the last 4 weeks, hubby and I went on an anniversary trip (which included tons of packing and setting things up, since my in-laws came here to take the kids to school, classes, etc). When we came back and got off the plane, my MIL says "Bok Boy was running a fever of 103.4 after school today." By the time we got home his fever had dropped well below normal and after a call to the on-call nurse, we kept an eye on him that night. The next day at the doctor we found out both kids had ear infections and sinus infections. 2 weeks of antibiotics, a week off school, and eventually they were better.
Of course, once they got better, I got sick! Bronchitis, asthma (and probably flu) later, I finally got better.
We've had 2 rounds of flu shots and some other random injuries, and we're finally (knock on wood) starting to catch up on things.
Hopefully in the next couple of days I will get caught up on the reviews and giveaways I need to post (and then can post pictures of my vacation too!)
Talk to you soon and thanks for waiting!

Cheer up with the monkeys (and chickens, and frogs)
Well, the week has progressed very slowly. Little Miss has gotten progressively better but Bok Boy is getting worse. At bedtime last night he was running a fever of 103, and the on-call nurse told me to call the doctor today. They're changing his antibiotics (we'll see how that goes). My biggest worry is that this weekend our options will be urgent care or the ER if he gets worse.
In the meantime, someone sent me a link to some fun animal pictures. It cheered me up a bit (although the kids are still too sick to care!)
Here's the link to see the rest of them... Awesome Animal Pictures
Have a great day (and weekend) and I'll catch up with you more later.

Mabel's Labels Ultimate Back-to-School Combo Review
Once upon a time, in an elementary school near our house, a first grader went to school. With much excitement he selected his school supplies and proceeded to run off to his class. He lived happily ever after. Until....the fourth....day...of school, when he lost his brand new lunchbox!
Bok Boy was heartbroken, since he had picked out a special lunch box that had a separate insulated wrap for his water bottle. We spent days searching the lost and found, hoping that someone had returned it, but alas, it was gone for good.
Now, I am not a totally clueless mom... His lunchbox had his name on it, but because of the color of his box, his name was not in an easily seen location.
Of course, that was before I discovered Mabel's Labels!
Mabel's Labels carries a wonderful selection of labels, for just about everything you could think of to label. They carry 411 wristbands so if your child is separated from you people have your info. They have allergy stickers that stay on your child's cups or lunch containers.
They also carry many household labels and even stationery products.
Mabel's Labels sent me their Ultimate Back to School Combo pack to review. This pack is no longer available, but they still carry all of the component items, along with other combo packs.
The Tag-Mates are wonderful stickers with your child's name on it that sticks to their clothing tags to identify their clothing. It's a great alternate to iron-on tags for people like me (who have to hunt to find their iron) and SO much better than trying to write with a marker on the tag!
The Tag-Mates are truly amazing! They're easy to stick on and don't come off in the wash. I've washed Bok Boy's favorite sweatshirt multiple times and it's still stuck on strong.
The Skinny Minis are labels that stick to toys, sippy cups, spoons, bottles, whatever you have with a smooth surface that you want labeled. And, since Mabel's Labels is truly awesome, they're dishwasher and microwave safe and UV fade resistant. How much better does it get? Labels that stay on! No more masking tape on the sippy cups at daycare.
The Shoe Labels are these amazing circular labels that stick on the inside of your child's shoe, under his/her heel. There's a special clear sticker that goes on top and protects the label from your sweaty feet. These labels don't come off, and they're perfect for playlands, karate class, or places where your child's shoes might get mistaken for someone else's.
Bok Boy's favorites are the Teeny Tags, which are a little metal tag that hangs from a keyring and attaches to things (such as zipper pulls). He now has these tags on his backpack and his lunchbox, and they're easy to see if he loses his lunchbox again.
While the Ultimate Back-to-School Combo is not currently available, Mabel's has a Big Combo that contains 45 Sticky Labels, 50 Iron-Ons or 75 Tag-Mates™, 24 Shoe Labels, 2 Bag Tags for only $45 and a Camp/School pack that has 15 Sticky Labels, 40 Iron-Ons or 50 Tag Mates™, 8 Shoe Labels, 2 Bag Tags for $34.
Mabel's Labels is one of the best new products that I've found in a long time, and I encourage you to try them (but only if you want to make sure that your child comes home with the correct shoes or lunchbox or coat!) I only wish I had discovered Mabel's Labels before school started!

These labels don't come off, and they're perfect for playlands, karate class, or places where your child's shoes might get mistaken for someone else's.
Bok Boy's favorites are the Teeny Tags, which are a little metal tag that hangs from a keyring and attaches to things (such as zipper pulls). He now has these tags on his backpack and his lunchbox, and they're easy to see if he loses his lunchbox again.
While the Ultimate Back-to-School Combo is not currently available, Mabel's has a Big Combo that contains 45 Sticky Labels, 50 Iron-Ons or 75 Tag-Mates™, 24 Shoe Labels, 2 Bag Tags for only $45 and a Camp/School pack that has 15 Sticky Labels, 40 Iron-Ons or 50 Tag Mates™, 8 Shoe Labels, 2 Bag Tags for $34.
Mabel's Labels is one of the best new products that I've found in a long time, and I encourage you to try them (but only if you want to make sure that your child comes home with the correct shoes or lunchbox or coat!) I only wish I had discovered Mabel's Labels before school started!
Full disclosure: Mabel's Labels sent me this product to review and keep. My review is my honest opinion and is not biased based on the receipt of product.

What do you get when you combine two kids and a whole bag of stickers?
In the process of doing crafts today, the kids rediscovered the Ziploc bag full of stickers I keep in the craft supplies. As a side note, I LOVE Ziploc bags for keeping kids' things organized!
Luckily for the kids (and me!) Bok Boy and Little Miss are pretty well trained about stickers. They're allowed on paper and on themselves. We do, of course, have the occasional problem and have to scrub stickers off tables or walls, but overall the kids are pretty good with them.
This time, Little Miss discovered the alphabet stickers, and since she's trying to learn to read, she was making words with them... On herself.
A whole sleeve worth!
While she didn't manage to spell much of anything, she did have a great time (and all of the stickers stayed on her and not on my walls or furniture!)
Now I just have to convince her that it won't feel good to wear them overnight, since she wants to sleep with them on. That would make for a very painful morning!
What fun things have your little ones done lately?

I would have to photoshop a picture of myself wrestling a bear to the ground with my bare hands. That would be worth plastering all over my walls... actually, everyone should have a 2 ft square sticker of me wrestling a bear on their wall. Thanks!

Whatever happened to the edited for TV movies?
Whatever happened to the edited for TV movies? I grew up watching Breakfast Club, Indiana Jones and other such movies, but all of the racy or violent parts were edited out.
Now, all of the movies like them (including Indiana Jones, Transformers, and basically every movie that boys want to see) are too scary, violent, or sexy for kids. And they don't edit them anymore. So my choice is to let my child watch something I don't believe is appropriate for them, or I can be the meanest mom in the world.
Needless to say, I'm the meanest mom in the world (although Bok Boy always says that the ogre's mom is the meanest, not me). What do you do? My son's friend gets to watch them all and then have nightmares. My son, well, he just gets to play with the toys and learn what he can from his friends.
My simple wish is that one of the 900 cable channels would make edited for TV shows, like we used to watch in the good ole days! It would help save my sanity (and I need every little bit that I can get!)

How to combine rollercoasters, learning, and love of animals!
Just before school started, hubby and I took Bok Boy and Little Miss to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, CA. (although to those of us that have lived here forever, it's Marine World!)
We learned tons of amazing facts about animals (both kids have been reading books like crazy and having me look up info on the internet about animals since then.) When I was young, they pretty much only had animals and a few kiddie rides, but now even the kiddie rides have gotten fancy! There's at least 3 large areas of kid rides, including roller coasters. For the first time ever, Little Miss was able to ride a coaster! She was thrilled and has been strutting her stuff like a big girl.
Just a small sampling of what we saw:
Next time you're heading to an amusement park, see if you can find one that has interesting and educational things! We all love the rides, but animals can teach us so much about the world. This way you can do both in one day (and give your stomach a break in between roller coaster rides!)
What's your favorite theme/amusement park and why?

Just a small sampling of what we saw:
A Camel wandering through the park
Little Miss staring at the Shark Exhibit
We saw just how far an elephant's trunk stretches
...and how trusting her trainer is
and Bok Boy got to feed her a banana!
We saw Orcas jumping
...and playing
...and tigers diving,
swimming,
and drinking a bottle!
and gorgeous butterflies fluttering.
