This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of PlayStation(R) Move. All opinions are 100% mine.
My husband (Bobby) has been using PlayStation systems since he was 14. We currently own a PlayStation 2 that we have had for 9 years now. It was a birthday present I bought for him after we were married. We were both excited when we heard PlayStation was coming out with their own Motion Gaming System. Bobby and I are big on health and exercising. What a great way to keep your little ones moving in front of the TV. PlayStation®Move would be great for our family! My daughter (Leana) is not able to operate the controllers yet for the PlayStation 2 but I am pretty sure that she would love to use the Motion Controller for the PlayStation®Move. Good way for her to learn more hand-eye coordination.

Are you ready for Halloween yet? It's not to early to start thinking about it. October is in a few days and Halloween will be here before you know it. In the past years I was always that mom who waited last minute to buy costumes and because I put it off we did not have much to choose from so this year I am starting early.
I found Wholesale Costume Club and they offered for us to choose a costume from their site. With so manygirl costumes to choose from I was not sure where to start but then I fell in love with the Monarch Butterfly Costume. I showed it to my daughter and she said that she could not wait to be a Butterfly Fairy.
Wholesale Costume Club's customer service was awesome and very helpful. The Monarch Butterfly Costume arrived about 7 business days later and my daughter was jumping up and down waiting for me to open it. She had to put it on right now. This costume is gorgeous and in very good quality. It's not made cheap like other costumes we have purchased in the past. The fabric is thick and she will be able to wear this after Halloween for as long as it fits her.
CSN Stores has over 200 online stores where you can find everything from stylish handbags, to modern, upholstered dining chairs, or great cookware! Almost a year ago my husband and I purchased a new kitchen table. We visited about 10 or more different Furniture Stores in one day trying to find the one that we both agreed on. With a 2 year old toddler and a baby, that adventure was not very fun. If I would have known about DiningRoomsDirect.com back then I would have saved my husband and I a lot of headache.
DiningRoomsDirect.com is one of CSN's awesome stores. I love this dining set American Drew Camden Black 7 Piece Round Dining Table Set that you see on the left. It has no sharp corners for my kids to bump their heads on and the chairs look very comfy.
We will be offering a $55 Gift Certificate soon that you can use for all 200 of CSN Stores including DiningRoomsDirect.com. Subscribe to our newsletter below so that you don't miss this giveaway.

With so much information to cover about Cerebral Palsy this Awareness Event will last for 2-3 months. Jenny's blog talks about raising a child with cerebral palsy and the many obstacles that come with having a special needs child. She also has another baby who's already a month old and plans to use cloth diapers. Jenny would like to use cloth on her 5 yr old as well but at almost 40lbs there's not a lot of cloth diaper options out there.
Her goal is to make people more aware that Cerebral Palsy is a lot more common then most people think, while doing this she is hoping to also find sponsors to host reviews and giveaways on her blog... items directed more towards her 5 year old and things she can use. She would like to help businesses out to gain more attention on there products.
Random.org chose lucky comment #5 Melanie for the Playful Threads giveaway and lucky comment #42Ruth Hill for the Photo Card Creations giveaway.
Many, many thanks to Playful Threads and Photo Card Creations for these fabulous reviews and giveaways. Congrats to the winners and please check your emails for further instructions.
I love this article written byBaby Loving Mama. I would totally let my children see this video. They would be paying more attention to Elmo then what Katy is wearing. I agree with her when she says:
"Yes. To be honest, they catch more glimpses of my cleavage around the house or in a bathing suit and I don’t think they would think much of seeing Katy’s. It looks like just another part of a woman’s anatomy to my boys and because they are so young they don’t think sexually about it. I think they’d be paying more attention to what they are doing and the music versus what Katy is wearing (or lack thereof)."
My husband and I have a lot of DVD's but when we sat down to see which ones we wanted to sell... we just couldn't do it. We still feel strongly attached to all of them but I did go onto Abundatrade.com to see how much some of them are worth. The calculator was very easy to use and it gives you a total of how much all your DVD's, CD's and Video Games are worth. Read below for more information. Try it for yourself... you have nothing to loose.
In this day and age of technology, it seems like everyone has shelves and boxes full of CDs, DVDs, Video Games and Books. Most people don’t realize their stuff, that has been collecting dust since they bought an iPod (or similar gadget), is actually worth something. AbundaTrade.com has an online calculator that gives real-time value for what they are willing to pay. They base that price on the national online market value. The price has nothing to do with genre or popularity, but what other people are selling it for. It is that simple and a lot easier than trying to sell them one by one on eBay or craigslist. Who really has that kind of time these days anyway.
It's that wonderful time of year when the leaves begin to change color and the air becomes crisp. Fall is upon us, which means it is time to start bringing out the boots, sweaters, and outerwear. How can you keep on trend and stay out of a wardrobe rut as the weather turns colder? Here are some fall fashion tips based on certain occasions that will help you stay warm and looking chic through the upcoming autumn months.
Date Night
Whether it’s on the weekend or during the week, it’s fun to get gussied up for a night out with your loved one. If you’ve got feminine flair, love vibrant colors, and dresses, there are tons of styles this fall that will float your boat. The prim and proper looks of the 60’s are back, as are rich jewel tones; therefore just because the weather’s changing, doesn’t mean you have to wear pants or succumb to a neutral color palette. This season, rich colors like ruby red and deep violet will quench your thirst for color and body conscious fits will make your feel sassy by allowing you to show off your curves. Looking to not just turn heads, but break necks? Try the Tina Dress from Fierce Mamas. Paired with some tights and a high heel (it’s date night after all...) this look is sure to wow. Still want to feel sexy but looking for a more casual look? Try the Eva Dress with some black leggings and a pair of booties.
Wow... I remember watching Tony Danza on "Who's the Boss" and "Taxi". I never knew he had a teaching degree. I can't wait to see this!!
A&E TV presents TEACH TONY DANZA. Danza struggles to make an unexpected and dramatic career shift but he’s also giving back to the community by teaching 10th grade English at an inner-city high school. The school is a true mix of different socio-economic classes among the students – challenging him to find ways to connect with students across a variety of backgrounds. It’s a tough crowd….will he succeed in being a positive role model for these kids?
The seven episode series premieres on Friday, October 1st at 10PM/9C.
Synopsis:
Long before his iconic acting career, which includes roles in “Taxi” and “Who’s The Boss,” Tony Danza received a degree in History Education. During the 2009-2010 school year, he took on his most challenging and rewarding role yet as he stepped into the classroom as a full-time teacher at Philadelphia’s Northeast High School. “Teach: Tony Danza” follows the first year-teacher as he instructs a 10th-grade English class with 26 students in back-to-back 45-minute periods.

I would like to introduce you to Lullatone who just released a new collection of super soft Looping Lullabies.
I reviewed the songs from their website and let me tell you that it would put me to sleep to. The songs are soft, slow, and I love the hearbeats in the background of the music.
To make the tracks super sleepy they used womb sounds, soft white noise, heartbeats and more. And, all of the songs are loop-able, too. (each track can repeat seamlessly using the "repeat one" function in iTunes.)
Lullatone knows times are tough for a lot of parents, so they made the album's price "pay whatever you want." That way, if some parents spent all of their money on diapers or milk they can still download the songs for free. They are parents too, so they totally understand!
No compensation, service, or product was given in exchange for this post. I reviewed the songs for free from their website. The views and opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
,I had the pleasure of reviewing Maroon 5's third studio album which will be available September 21st "Hands All Over" released by Octone Records. Produced by veteran studio wizard Robert John “Mutt” Lange (AC/DC, Foreigner, The Cars). Maroon 5 has been one of my favorite bands since they started so I was super excited to listen to their new album!! Maroon 5 did it again! It's an awesome Album. So many songs that I loved but my absolute favorites are "Never Gonna Leave This Bed", "Misery", "Give a Little More", and "Just a Feeling". I loved the music video for "Misery" it's hot, sexy, and hilarious. I found myself laughing through most the video and I love a good laugh.
These are super cute stories! It’s like watching a mini movie but you read-along with the narrator. As the narrator reads the story the words are highlighted to help children follow along and keep their place. Within the story you can click on some of the selected words and it will repeat that word and show you a picture describing that word. My 3 ½ year old daughter was automatically repeating the words when we used this feature. After one story ended she was asking to read the next. There are 2 free books that you can tryout for yourself just visit STORY TIME FOR ME.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TiVo. All opinions are 100% mine.
The 2010 Emmy’s were awesome and so many great shows won awards like Modern Family and Big Bang Theory. I am so excited about this upcoming Fall TV Premiers. Some of my favorites that I can’t wait to see are Vampire Diaries, Cougar Town, and Smallville. As a mom I find it hard to sit down in the evenings to watch TV. My evenings usually don’t end until 9 or 10pm. I tried to keep up with as many shows as I could last season like Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice, One Tree Hill and Glee. This fall there are so many more that I would like to watch but they’re all back to back or at the same time. Tivo Premier is great to help me keep up to date with all my favorite shows. I can record them and watch them at a later time during my children’s nap-time or at night when they go to sleep.
We recently joined Netfilx and my husband and I love it!! We are saving so much money and the movies arrive before the weekend so they are ready for our Saturday Movie Night. One of the awesome things that I love about the new Tivo Premier is that it partners with Netflix to allow us to watch Movies instantly on our TV. The new Slide Remote by Tivo completes the package with the Finger-friendly slideout keyboard that makes it faster and easier to text entry for Search, YouTube™, RSS and more.
Tired of being the only one who didn’t see Modern Family or Glee last year? This year, subscribe to the Fall TV Guru Guide and discover all the new shows premiering this fall, so you won’t be the one to miss this season’s breakout hit. TiVo is not just a DVR! Use TiVo search to find your favorite TV programs, movies and Web video whether it’s on cable, Netflix, Amazon On Demand, Blockbuster On Demand, YouTube videos or more.

Some of you already know from reading past posts, that my husband and I were watching 4 of my nieces and nephews over the summer. We were watching a total of 6 children all under 4 years of age. Our world was a little crazy but a whole lot more love being shared. We received a ton of help, support, and donations from family, friends, and even strangers that heard about our story from others. When Photo Card Creations contacted me I was all for this review and giveaway! I wanted to create a Thank You Card to give to everyone who has touched our lives as well as our 6 children. We couldn't have gone through 2 months without all the support we received from everyone and I wanted a way to say THANK YOU!
I chose the Circles of Fun Thank You Card and added a picture of all 6 children on the front.

Please note: Playful Threads is an adult clothing website. The links on this post will lead to content that might not be appropriate for viewing at work.
Here's a little something for you and your significant other! Playful Threads sells Lingerie, Clubwear, Dresses, Plus-Size, Swimwear, & More. Don't forget Halloween is coming up and they have a lot of costumes to choose from. Playful Threads asked me to do a review and giveaway for my readers and I could not turn this away.
Their website is easy to use and navigate through. I went straight to the Lingerie page to find something for me and of course this would be for my hubby to. I've been in search of a new bustier so I chose their Dannielynn - 3 Piece Bustier Set. It has Stretch Microfiber Halter Underwire Bustier with Nude Lined Lace Bodice, Lace-Up Back, Hook and Eye Front Closure and Rhinestone Jewel Details on Straps. Includes a Matching Thong and a Separate Shirred Skirt to complete the outfit. I am not brave enough to wear this out of the house but it is absolutely stunning!
My house was in dire need of TLC. I was taking care of 6 children over the summer all ages 4 and under. 2 are my children and 4 were my sister-in-laws. As soon as my nieces and nephews went back to their mom it was time to start cleaning. As a mom I worry all the time about the products I use in my home. My children will lick and stick anything in their mouths. I have found my daughter licking walls and windows. Found my son biting on the furniture and toys. Of course both of them will stick their toys in their mouths to. I am very thankful that HomePro by Design contacted me to do a review and giveaway for their New - Cleaning Essentials Kit. "The Cleaning Essentials Kit is ready to go to work for you. Combined with our roomy Cleaning Caddie, the kit contains cleaning products that are needed in every home. Now contains: Cleaning Caddie, Microfiber Cloth Kit, Glass Cleaner Kit, Wood Polish Kit, General Purpose Cleaner Kit, Shower & Bathroom Kit, Spot and Stain Remover, and a Whizgroom."
How cute are these!? Build-a-Bear Workshop sent my daughter a Build-a-Bear Smallfry Marble Monkey. This is the perfect stuffed animal to go with my daughter to her first day of Pre-School. Her backpack and lunch-kit both are pink with monkey's on them. When we first pulled it out of the box my son also had his hands-up so you will see me at Build-a-Bear Workshop on Sept. 3rd to also get my son one of these adorable stuffed animals. These Smallfry pre-stuffed animals are the perfect size for babies and toddlers. It's oh-so-soft and cuddly!
