With school buses and teachers just about ready to welcome little one back to school, it's important to soak up all the Summer fun while we still can!
My girls love to be in the thick of all I do. Be it cleaning or gardening, I can always count on having little shadows and helpers at my side! I love doing things geared towards their imagination and abilities! This is the PERFECT recipe for any young helper!
Junk Food Sushi is a concoction of all things kids love...
Twinkies! Fruit Roll Ups!! Candy!!!
I love the color of these Green Apple Fruit roll ups!!! They look as close to Seaweed as you could get!!
Unroll the fruit roll up and using a pizza cutter slice it in 6 strips.
Now you will slice each Twinkie into three equal parts. Wrap a slice of the Fruit roll up around each piece of Twinkie leaving the cream filling sides exposed.
Now comes the fun part! Add your favorite small candies! I always add a Swedish Fish!! It is "Sushi" right!!!! We also added sour Gummie Worms that I cut in half and Tropical Flavored Skittles! Other candies to consider using are Red Hots, Licorice Pieces, Mike 'n Ikes and Jelly Beans! Anything small and colorful!
And VOILA!!! A super yummy tasty treat! (I personally hate Twinkies and the taste of these but I'm a mom!!) Kids LOVE 'em and why wouldn't they! Sugar!Candy! Junk Food!!!!
Ever heard of Funky Kuffs??? Do your kids pants drag on the floor because they are too long? Well, let us tell you about a cool new company called Funky Kuffs! This great company came up with the idea of placing these tiny accessories at the bottom of your kids pants for a quick hem. Why didn’t I think of that? Well, these adorable adornments make your kids pants super hip with a great fit and all you have to do is snap them on and go. The adorable push pins come in different colors and styles that will have your child attaching them to everything in sight.
Stars, Beach, basketball, baseball, gems, flowers, butterflies, footballs, frogs, lady bugs, soccer balls and Scottie dogs!
About Funky Kuffs from their site! Thank you for taking the time to visit my site. I am a wife, mother, inventor, and entrepreneur. The FunKyKuffs idea was inspired by my 9 year old daughter. I had noticed all her new jeans fit in the waist, but were too long in the leg, I figured she would grow into them. School started up in the fall and I still noticed she wasn't wearing her new jeans. I asked her why she wasn't wearing them? and she said, "they're too long and look funny, I'm going to tripover them and I still refuse to wear them" I tried rolling the cuffs under, but my daughter pointed out that they would unroll duringthe day. I tried rolling them up, but they just didn't look right. I didn't have time to hem her pants before school, so I just had to send her off unhappy. Necessity being the mother of invention, I thought there must be an easier and inexpensive way to alterthese without having to send them to a tailor. I thought I can probably create something that's going to make a child's life alittle easier and keep the parents budget at hand, especially these days. Nobody has time to sit and hem, and besides the kids are going to end up growing into them soon enough. I went out and purchased several materials and FunkyKuffs was born!

If you are in the market and need a new dishwasher for your home...I highly recommend Electrolux. We have had ours for a few months now and have been nothing but happy with it. The silence of it running is worth the cost alone.
Energy Saver Plus Cycle: Eco-friendly cycle uses less energy without compromising cleaning performance (similar to my email about Energy Star).
DishSense(TM) Technology: Sensors select the cycle for you based on your cleaning needs, so you won't use unneccessary resources
It cleans my my dishes and you do not need to pre-rinse.
It's quiet!
It Sanitizes!
LOW COSTED!
You will not make the wrong decision when choosing this one! Check out our video!
Parents with Style is pleased to recommend the Electrolux Dishwasher to all of our readers!
“I wrote this review while participating in a Test Drive Campaign by MomCentral on behalf of Frigidaire and received a Frigidaire Dishwasher to facilitate my review.”
I am so excited to share with you a new product that was introduced to me in the last few weeks. I am not one that loves to cook in the kitchen. Thanks to a new product on the market called the POURfect bowl...I don't mind it so much.
What I LOVE about it! I love the size of it and the pour spout on the bowl, it makes making pancakes a breeze. And the clean up on it is super simple and can go in the dishwasher. We used our bowl a ton over the last few weeks and it is now my favorite.
What I would change about it!! Really there is nothing I can think of other than having more of them in my house.
GRIP - Rests comfortably over your index finger, using your palm and thumb instead of grasping with your fingers.
2
EGG CRACKING LEDGE - Convenient location to crack eggs while keeping the entire cracked egg inside the bowl.
3
MEASURING GUIDE- English and Metric measurements inside the bowl.
4
GULL WINGS - Fold ingredients back into bowl toward the pouring spout COMPLETELY eliminating overspill.
5
RUBBER RING - Non-slip rubber ring adds stability to POURfect® Bowl when mixing ingredients
6
CHANNEL - Aligns ingredients to flow smoothly to the pouring spout
7
PIVOT - Securely positions bowl on another container improving control while pouring
8
DRIPLESS SPOUT- Flat edge on spout stops drip from running down the front of the POURfect® Bowl
We have colors available in bowls, spoons, cups, and 5050 to match your kitchen-aid stand mixer! Imperial Red, Majestic Yellow, Pear, Blue Willow, Caviar, and Tangerine. If you would like your POURfect Products in one of these colors please make a request in the notes section at the bottom of your order.

For the last 4 months Korbyn has been trying out his new coat offered by Obermeyer. As all of my readers know..it fricken cold here in Michigan. Yes, up until this weekend..my little man has been wearing the Obermeyer coat. This coat is fabulous not only is it cool looking but it is warm and best of all it has an awesome feature.........
A unique Obermeyer feature, the I-Grow system increases the life of a child's garment longevity with the expandable sleeves and cuffs: the sleeves can be lengthened up to 1-1/2 inches longer, while the cuffs can be expanded up to 2 inches longer. This is perfect for Korbyn since he is so long this coat wouldn't fit him next season, so I am going to get two seasons out of this coat. Isn't that wonderful. I can honestly tell you that after using this coat for the last four months it has made me a happy Mom. One cause it will save me money next year by lengthening the sleeves and I know it is high quality so it keeps him warm even in the coldest temps.
A unique Obermeyer feature, the I-Grow system increases the life of a child’s garment longevity with expandable sleeves and cuffs: the sleeves can be lengthened up to 1 ½ inches longer, while the cuffs can be expanded up to 2 inches longer.

ShareThe DSi XL takes a ‘big’ step in gaming – featuring dual screens that are 93% bigger than its predecessor, DS Lite.
Ahead of the DSi XL launch, we thought it would be fitting to find out what things, places or emotions real people would make 93 percent bigger if they had the chance. The responses ranged from the humorous (“my arms”) to the heart-warming (“human compassion”).
New Nintendo DSi XL Makes Portable Games More Social with Extra-Large Screens
REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- From bank balances to IQ scores, there are many things people would love to see increase by 93 percent.

I can honestly tell you that old dishwasher can't compare to my new Fridgidaire dishwasher..not only does it offer a ton of great options for different cycles...but it is super quiet. I never thought a dishwasher could be so quiet. Paityn can fall asleep right next to it when it is running and it doesn't wake her up. This is is the "Quietest Dishwasher in its Class", this is based on the specs for plastic interior dishwashers published by the manufacturer. We love this dishwasher and will soon be sharing our video so that you can see what it looks like inside and hear it for yourself.

I have been giving you tips and insights into my Phoenix trip and I am finally here to tell you what all the hype is about. Farm to Table is a promotion which is part of the Good Egg Project sponsored by the American Egg Board. This project is creating community awareness by educating us about farmers so we can better understand where our food comes from. In otherwords getting our families back to the table to eat a healthy meal. This project will also help all of us Mommy bloggers fill you in on our personal thoughts about where do our eggs really come from?? I am well educated on the process and I thought I new before..but found out I had no clue.
I have waiting to tell you all about my thoughts and opinions on the GOOD EGG PROJECT and how you can make the best decision for your family when it comes to the eggs you choose for your family! I was so thrilled to watch and learn how farming and egg consumption can come full circle and how our egg farmer's are taking care of our families! Over the next few months I will share with you what "CAGE FREE" really means...I was shocked. The Hickman's Farm was so generous and took us on a full tour of their family owned farm! I have about a 100 pictures I will be sharing with you so you can see what I saw. WOW! I had no clue how much goes into taking care of our egg supply!!
WHAT IS THE GOOD EGG PROJECT? Its all about educating the public to make healthier choices when it comes to feeding our families. It is all about feeding our families safe, healthy and unprocessed foods.
Our family eats EGGIES!! That is what we call them in our family! We eat a ton of eggs and I was so happy to learn that the eggs I choose come from healthy well fed chickens on a very clean farm. I could eat eggs everyday and so could my kids which is fabulous since I know they will be eating something that is good for them. Eggs are an excellent source of lean protein and they can be used in so many different ways! Plus, they are super in-expensive and you can find them everywhere.
.
So back to my trip to Pheonix...I got to enjoy myself with a great group of Mommy Bloggers. Who are the Mommy bloggers? My wonderful girlfriend Tonia from AllAmericanMommy.blogspot.com
I learned a ton about Nutrition from the wonderful Mary Lee Chin! I can't wait to share more tips from Mary Lee!
STAY TUNED! I HAVE A TON MORE COMING!!!
PRODUCTS I LOVE!!
