Glow Crazy...Review & Giveaway!

A&W like crafty things.  A in particular adores being creative and I do like to honor his creative juices but sometimes I just can't stomach pulling out the glue and paints and glitter.  I try, readers, I really do, but sometimes I just can't stand the thought of another messy project (go ahead....read one of my very first posts about a certain sandy creative outlet....BLECH!!).  In any case, boy do I get happy when I find something that allows the boys to be creative while also containing the mess...pure brilliance!  I have something new that allows my kiddos to be crafty but not messy...Glow Crazy!

Have you seen or heard about Glow Crazy yet?  These glow in the dark products allow your child to draw with light...fun and not messy!  We have the Distance Doodler which allows the kids to use the wand to draw on the included glow mats.  They are having so much fun with this.  You can draw from up to ten feet away and it is a great way to get the kids into their rooms for the night.  It will however probably keep them up playing a little longer!  We also have the Glow to Go and this is fantastic for car rides.  It includes stencils, an attached pen and stencils which can be corralled into the handy zippered pocket.  The boys have been taking turns using this in their rooms....one uses the Glow to Go and the other the Distance Doodler!

A&W are big fans of the Glow Crazy products and I am SO glad to have them.  They are great for drawing and practicing letters and I love that they make a travel version (so great for long trips!!).  You can purchase the Glow Crazy products at Wal-Mart, Target and Toys R Us as well as www.glowcrazy .com.  I you purchase from www.glowcrazy.com right now you can order the Distance Doodler for $19.99 and receive a bonus wide beam wand for free!!  This is a great deal and will nab you an extra wand which comes in handy if you have more than one child.

Ecomom...Review & Giveaway!

About a year ago I discovered a fabulous company called EcoMom.   EcoMom makes eco-conscious living easy, affordable and rewarding for families.  The website has everything from food to beauty products to wellness aides to clothing and so much more.  If you need it, EcoMom has it!  EcoMom also has this really great program called EcoPass.  This program allows members to receive a 15% discount on every order, free shipping (with no minimum order amount) as well as exclusive offers and promotions.  The annual membership fee is $99.


I typically buy beauty products and supplements from EcoMom but they also have an impressive selection of  toys (I told you they have everything!!).  Their selection of Eco Friendly playthings is amazing.  The people over at EcoMom sent me over the Melissa & Doug Basic Skills Board to try with the kids and they were all thrilled when this arrived...

This wooden bear is always smiling, but he's happiest when fully dressed! Getting dressed won't be such a puzzle once zipping, buckling, snapping, lacing and tying, and other dressing skills are mastered. Each skill is contained on a separate, wooden puzzle piece for easy practice. Develop fine motor and life skills with this great activity.
Dimensions: 0.5" x 11.5" x 15" Assembled
Recommended Ages: 3+ years

This fast become fun for all three of my children!  First of all, it is a puzzle which (at least for my kiddos) is always a hit.  Secondly, it is helping to teach the kids basic skills of getting dressed in one spot. I have never seen a puzzle form of this activity.  We actually have a stuffed doll which is supposed to teach these skills but the kids are not really interested in it...they much prefer this Melissa & Doug puzzle from EcoMom.  The quality and craftmanship is outstanding and what I can always count on when I order from EcoMom...they really only have the best of the best!

I love that I can visit EcoMom and order not only my vitamins (the kids are obsessed with SmartyPants Vitamins!!) and eco friendly cleaning products but quality toys as well.  Talk about one stop shopping!  Visit EcoMom today and check out their amazing selection of, well, everything!
