Doc McStuffins: Friendship is the Best Medicine on DVD and a Afternoon Tea

Doc McStuffins has become a favorite morning show in our house that both of our kids enjoy watching on Disney Junior. Doc McStuffins is a little 6 year old girl who is great at fixing her friends, her toy friends that is. The toys come to life when they go into her office, which is her playhouse, to have her fix what may be ailing them. My kids love watching the Doc at work as she mends and fixes toys as well as listens to their concerns and helps them through what may be concerning them. I love the imagination that takes place in this show and my kids do as well. To celebrate the upcoming release of Doc McStuffins Friendship is the Best Medicine that will be available to take home on August 21, we were sent the new DVD along with a tea set and apron so that we could have a tea party while watching the DVD!!
My kids loved the DVD and they enjoyed watching all of the great episodes that were on the DVD!! They also loved being able to enjoy having a tea party while watching the DVD!!! To add to our tea party and movie, we also received a $10 gift card. My kids decided to use the gift card to get treats to eat during their tea party and movie screening!!! In all the DVD and all of the episodes that were on it were a hit, and the tea party made the screening of this DVD that much more enjoyable!!

Dr. Seuss' The Lorax on Blu-Ray

As a little girl, I grew up loving the great books from Dr. Seuss, and now that I have my own children, I share that love and watch their little imaginations go away with them while we read the great stories in the Dr. Seuss collection! Recently we were sent a copy of the new Dr. Seuss' The Lorax on Blu-Ray to review. The Lorax was one of those stories that was fun to read and like his other stories, teaches a lesson all in its own!! With the movie, the story of The Lorax comes alive and takes you and your kids on a adventure that can only come from the mind of the great Dr. Seuss. In The Lorax, you meet the characters and learn their ways and intentions. You learn what a land with out trees would be like, and the importance of having trees is for everyone. It teaches your children about what greed can do and why when you take a little you need to give back in order to keep the balance in nature. Like the other Dr. Seuss movies that came before this one, The Lorax is one that has made a instant hit in our home and is now available to take home to enjoy with your family as well!!

Beyond Bedding #Giveaway 10 Winners Will Each Win A Childrens Bedding Set!!!! (Preparing For Baby Guide)

I am so ready for my little Wyatt to join us. I have been having to rely on my husband and kids to get everything set up for our little man. I had planned on being the one that would be putting his area in his and his brother Robert's room together, but because of health reasons, I have been given the option to either stay in bed in the dark, or stay in the hospital in the dark, so I chose to be home, but in order to stay out of the hospital I have to follow the orders I was given, and that means stay in bed in the dark with minimal noise and I am only allowed to walk to the restroom and back. Which is why I have had to leave the nursery set up to my husband and kids. To get things started, they had to rearrange the room to make room for Wyatt to have his own side of the room. Once that gets done, it is time to get the big stuff set up, which includes the crib. After the crib is all set, the kids are very excited to get the bedding and accessories from the bedding set we got all set. True, I have been very patient and I can not complain too much, since this will be the first time my husband has been in charge of getting a nursery together, but I am excited to see what it will look like once it is all done, and I hope he gets it done before Wyatt gets here. When we were given the chance to review a bedding set from Beyond Bedding, I included the whole family in the selection process. Since we have decided to name the new baby Wyatt, our kids have been set on a western theme, which we have found to be a great theme to go with as well. We went over the selection of baby bedding over at Beyond Bedding and when we went through the baby boy bedding, we all fell in love with one particular set. There was no question in our minds when it came to the set that we chose that is made by JoJo Designs. We went with the Wild West Western Horse Cowboy Baby Bedding which is a 9 piece set. Let me first start by saying, how cute is this set? I mean, when we decided to go with a western theme, I did not expect to find a set that is this cute. And this 9 piece set has just about every little detail we will need to get Wyatt's nursery going. It comes with the crib comforter, crib bumper, 2 window valances, crib skirt, fitted sheet, diaper stacker, toy bag, and decorative pillow! Then to complete Wyatt's side of the room, we can order the other pieces to go with this adorable little set that is perfect for our little cowboy! Well, after seeing and picking this set out for Wyatt, Robert made a point that it would make sense if he had a matching set for his new big boy twin bed as well, that way the boys can both have this awesome cowboy theme in their room. Finding the set for Robert was not hard at all, when looking at the bedding from the JoJo Designs collection, we were able to find the Wild West Cowboy Western Childrens Bedding 4 pc Twin Set, which we will get for Robert once we have everything for Wyatt in order! I love the fact that we only had to go to one place to find the bedding set for Wyatt and Robert that will coordinate even though the sets are for different types of beds, and I love that we can get everything for the boys room and even get my daughter a set, when she can make up her mind on which one she wants, all in one place!!!! Well, the wonderful people from Beyond Bedding would like to make the shopping for your kids bedding a little easier by offering 10 bedding sets to 10 lucky winners!!!
