Two New Oceanhouse Media Releases

I have two exciting omBooks* to tell you about this week featuring the Berenstain Bear family and Elmer the Patchwork Elephant.

Join the Berenstain Bears as they decorate their Christmas tree in the first "lift-the-flap" omBook. In The Berenstain Bears Trim the Tree, available for the introductory price of 99 cents for Apple devices, children will enjoy interacting with each scene by tapping on special objects that reveal hidden surprises. With Christmas just around the corner, everyone is helping out. Brother and Sister hang the wreath, Papa trims the branches and Honey Bear puts the star on top. This festive holiday story is perfect for bedtime, or anytime, and is sure to put your whole family in the Christmas spirit!

Next, there latest addition in the Elmer the Patchwork Elephant series is Elmer and Rose. Available for the introductory price of $1.99 for Apple devices, join Elmer and his new friend Rose in an uplifting story that questions what it really means to be unique. When Grandpa Eldo asks Elmer and his cousin Wilbur to help a young elephant find her way back to her herd, they get a big shock when they see she is pink! No wonder she is called Rose. As they help Rose find her herd, Elmer and Wilbur learn a valuable lesson about being different and fitting in.


I can't wait to read these two new great books!!  My kids can't get enough of  the omBooks.  Such a great addition to our digital library!

Get A New Look for the New Year with Hot Pants

Product Name: HotPants by Zaggora

My Review:

As a mom of three boys, I've gained my share of weight over the years, and have to admit have gotten a little lazy in working it off.  But, thanks to HotPants, those areas that are in need of being worked on are targeted the whole time I’m wearing them!  The concept is really pretty simple.  They cover the most common “problem areas” for women; butt, hips, thighs and tummy.  The material is similar to that of scuba gear and makes you sweat in the areas mentioned.  Whether working out or just doing chores around the house this product will work for you.  I’ve noticed significant changes in my appearance....my skin looks smoother and feels tighter!

HOW IT WORKS:

Every woman has a layer under their skin (dermis) of connective tissue. This has areas of breakage which allows fat cells (adipose tissue) to come through to the surface. Guys are lucky enough not have this as their connective tissue is unbroken.

This breakage in the connective tissue contributes to the dimpled appearance of skin, causing the appearance of the dreaded ‘cellulite’. To make things worse, the modern lifestyle and work cycle, geared towards long periods of sitting at work, lead to lower circulation in the thighs and tummy.

Cellulite affects 90% of post-adolescent women.

Unfortunately, the bad news is that the comfort of knowing you are not alone doesn’t help you feeling good when you are on the beach or out on a hot date.

And, if you don’t believe me, check out the HotPants Facebook page for tons of other women’s stories or follow them on twitter.

HotPants Retail for $70.77.  Get yours today, and start feeling better about how you look!  I'm still working on my happy, join me!

Disclosure:  I received the product mentioned above for free for evaluation purposes.  Regardless, all opinions expressed are still 100% my own.

Unique Name Plaques and Childrens Gifts

When your looking for those high quality unique gifts for the little people in your life, look no further than Baby Republic.  Baby Republic carries the best children's toys, room decorations, and unique gifts. Looking for that perfect gift for the holidays is easy, they have put together a page of great products that would look good under any tree or in any stocking.  A few of my favorite Baby Republic items that your sure to love are the Name Plaques, Wall Murals, and the Christening Gifts.

There name plaques would stand out in any room with plaques to choose from like rockets, butterflies, and trains,  these plaques are well crafted and made to last.  My oldest loves this one, and it fits his personality so well.  It would look great on his door, because he loves to announce that it's his room.

The selection of wall murals they have is vast.  There is a mural to match any decor, and they're not super expensive like other murals that I've looked at.  They carry all kinds of murals that include your child's favorite cartoon characters like, Sponge Bob, Thomas, and Angelina Ballerina.  They add that scence of whimsy that is so important in a childs imaginative play.  Just imagine the hours of under the sea adventures that this mural would give.

They had quite a collection of christening gifts  to choose from like, gift baskets, to plaques, to teddy bears, it would be hard to choose just one. A Christening is such an important day you want to give the perfect gift, and the gift baskets have it all!

When you start hunting for that perfect gift for all the occasion in your life I suggest checking out Baby Republic first. Personalized baby gifts make unique presents for births, christenings and keepsakes, and with all that Baby Republic has to offer your sure to find the right gift for your little ones!

Your either flippin' or you're OUT!  Say the category is "John Travolta Movies", You say "Grease" before the 10 second timer runs out, and flip the letter "G" down so it cannot be used again (by either player or team).

It is also machine washable and recommended for children over three years old.  ZooPoo had an article written in the Denver Business Journal , an exciting start to to a fun and fabulous new product.  ZooPoo is having a sale, so head over and get all those Holiday gifts!  You can follow them on Twitter, and Facebook, to keep up with all this new company has to offer.

Day 12- I'm thankful for all of the people I have met throughout my life.  Everyone has touched my life in different ways, and made me the person I am today.  Without all those great people, who knows where I would be.

Day 13- I'm thankful for school...lol...I know it's bad, but I'm thankful that i can send my kids off everyday to learn from someone with more patience.  So with that, I guess I'm thankful for the Teachers, and all that they do!

Day 14- I'm thankful for all the wonderful government programs!  My youngest is 2 and just started to talk...not like he's had to say much with his older brothers around...6 months ago, his doctor recommended him to ECI, and he's been getting help for speech.  They have done a wonderful job with him, and he really enjoys them coming once a week.
