Movie Time! #NetflixKids #ad




This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of NETFLIX.


Netflix! Oh, how I love thee. We have been Netflix users for such a long time...I kind of wish they had your member join date, simply because I don't know HOW long, but it's been years. We used to have DVD service only, but now we are a streaming only family!

I love instant access to streaming content, and with Netflix you can watch your favorite TV shows and movies anywhere, any time you want. Netflix is available on hundreds of devices, which you probably already have at home! We have it on two of our Blu-Ray players, as well as on the laptop, and my Windows Phone and Nook Tablet! 

The Lorax, on Netflix!

Streaming is easier than you think. Download the free app on your iPad, click on the Netflix app on any gaming device or visit Netflix.com on your computer – and you’re in business. 

Recently, Neflix added the Just For Kids dedicated kids section. This kids section has family favorites appropriate for children ages 2- 12. All content is selected with help from Common Sense Media to provide ratings, reviews and information so parents can easily make choices for their kids!

One of my favorite features is the ability for the kids to pick a character. This is especially helpful for kids who can't read or spell yet. 


My kids' favorites are Oscar's Oasis, anything superhero, and Jake and the Neverland Pirates. Annabelle loves Tinker Belle, of course. 

What are you watching on TV with your family? Netflix has family favorites from Disney, Disney Jr., Hasbro, Cartoon Network and Dreamworks that are available to stream anytime, anywhere.
And streaming is easier than you think! Download the free app on your iPad, click on the Netflix app on any gaming device, go to the website on your computer – and you’re in business. Check it out here!

Checking out the #Mombo!



This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Comfort and Harmony for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.


Introducing the mombo™, the nursing pillow with more to love! Mombo has a unique shape and a two-sided design called Firm2Soft™, with each side offering a different experience. The firm side gives essential support for mommy and her nursing baby. The soft side is extra cozy—an inviting place for lounging or tummy time. And mombo is the only nursing pillow with a vibration feature, to give baby the ultimate soothing experience while lounging. Look for mombo’s assortment of pillow styles and slipcover fashions. Select your style from Standard, Deluxe or Nude™. Then choose multiple slipcover fashions so you'll always have a spare!

Speaking of those slipcovers, I need to find one! We have an 11 month old baby boy, and another baby boy due in July. While the Mombo we received for review is BEAUTIFUL, it's definitely not what my husband wants his sons to be using.


I definitely wish we would have had this pillow when Annabelle was little, it would be so perfect for her!
Anyway, until we get a slip cover... we tried it out as is, in pink mode.


Luke was pretty facinated with the tag... and much preferred the soft side of the pillow to the firmer side.


I did find that the pillow was a bit difficult to fit around my plus-size pregnant tummy... but it still fit enough not to rip or tear. The plushness was perfect, though, and lifted Luke up the right amount to interact with him well. While we are not nursing currently, it is still nice to be comfortable when he's having a bottle.
I loved the softness of the fabric, if you're looking around Babies R Us you can have a chance to feel the fabric because it has a fabric swatch on the package. It's really nice.

So Much Fun with Wummelbox!



We received a Wummelbox for the purpose of this review, no monetary compensation was received. All opinions are my own.




We recently received a Wummelbox to review... and I am in LOVE. The Wummelbox is a monthly box that is delivered to your door and contains three amazing projects for you child (3-8 years old) and you to create! 

The Wummelbox, a European-style arts & crafts subscription service for kids, is designed to inspire creativity and exploration. Wummelbox provides families with all the materials needed for hours of hands-on fun all in one box. Each box is based on a particular theme (such as Nutrition, Music, or Color and Light) and includes everything you need, plus instructions!

Each project promotes creativity and supports a range of developmental skills such as feelings, senses, language, thinking and movement/motor skills and all activities are designed and tested by early childhood educators  designers and parents. Plus all the Wummelbox materials meet the highest European and U.S. standards for toys. Wummelbox not only focuses on high wuality materials, it also takes the extra step to be eco-friendly when possible!

We received the Time Travel Wummelbox for review. At first, I thought the box was rather small... how did it fit 3-4 projects in it? Well, no worries, it did...and I was amazed!


Sure enough, nicely wrapped individually in tissue paper, there were three projects. We got to travel back to the stone age and have some fun by creating our own cave paintings! There is also a hunter and gatherer game to create, and we will build our own time machine!

The Wummelbox subscriptions are available in three lengths. For one month subscription (great if you just want to try this out) it is $34.95. For a three month subscription you can subscribe at $24.95 a month...or if you are a big fan and want a whole year each box will only cost $19.95!

I am definitely saving some money to get an entire year subscription, I was so impressed with the quality of the Wummelbox contents (and the fun that we had) that we will be purchasing more!

Annabelle loves Olivia from Springfield Dolls #Giveaway


I received a Springfield Doll and outfit for the purpose of this review. No monetary compensation was received and all opinions are my own.

Every little girl needs a friend... and Springfield Dolls are a great friend to have! The Springfield Dolls are a collection of five great girl dolls, each with their own look and story, that will be your little girl's newest friend! 


We received the Olivia doll to review, along with an extra outfit for her to wear!


Annabelle was so thrilled to see Olivia!

The first thing we did was change her dress, she now wears her pretty blue party dress!

We also received a pair of silver Ballet Flats, but a pesky brother took the bows off the shoes so they are on a shelf for repair. 

Springfield Dolls make great friends for American Girl dolls (or a much more affordable option to an American Girl doll, if you are a more frugal buyer). Springfield's clothes, accessories & furniture fit American Girl dolls!

 The 18" dolls sell for around $21.99, and the Springfield outfits are very affordable starting at $8.99. Springfield Dolls are sold in most major craft stores (Michael's, JoAnn Fabrics, AC Moore etc.) From now until May 27th check out the Memorial Day Sale  online to save 20% on select items, too!

We have really enjoyed having Olivia around, Annabelle loves taking her places and she really interacts with Olivia...it's so neat to see her imagination at work. The only thing I have a hard time with is the doll's hair. It definitely can be hard to care for, and it's much more frizzy then when we first got Olivia... likely because of how much the hairs have been stretched out while I brush the hair. 

Once you get your Springfield doll, be sure to register her on the SF Style Club site! You can get coupons in the mail, and your daughter can have fun dressing up her virtual doll! With your purchases you will earn points for special rewards!
