Time for a Hug - Book Review

National Hug Day is January 21st.
Did you know that?

To kick off the celebration of such a fun day, I get to share a wonderful new book with you...

Time for a Hug is by Phillis Gershator and Mim Green.
We received it for review and I love it...
Love the colors, love the rhymes, love the message.

I am a hugger.   I absolutely LOVE hugs.  Do you?
When I first moved to Atlanta, I noticed just how much a hug could change your day....
It was weird, I did not have anyone to hug, so it was a bit sad...
Over time, I made great friends and even now, whenever we see each other, we hug hello and we hug goodbye. Broxton does the same thing!

Marc and I love hugging him and we are constantly giving hugs (and stealing them) throughout the day!
With Time for a Hug, I see that we are not the only one!
This book starts with Little Bunny waking up and starting the day at 8.
Each and every hour... It is TIME FOR A HUG!!!!
Throughout the day, they do several different things...
Bounce balls, smell flowers, build cities... and no matter what, every hour on the hour...
HUG!!!
I love it!!!

Besides the love shown throughout this book, I love that it also is gender neutral.
The characters are two bunnies...
You never know if it is a girl or boy bunny...
Nor do you really know if it is mama or daddy bunny!
(When I read it, I read it as a mommy and her son... because of Broxton and I, but I am sure each person will take from it what they want!!!)

What a cute story and so glad to have the chance to share it with Broxton (and of course all of you!)
So, go on and order a copy for your house...
Don't forget... January 21st, hug away... It is national hug day!!!!

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my...

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c...

Momma Must Have - Exergen Temporal Thermometer- Review and Giveaway

Image
As we all know, it can sometimes be a bit difficult to take the temperature of a sick child. Hey, some adults are known to be big babies... The longer they have to wait, the fussier they become. Well, with the Exergen Temporal Scanner ... Wait is something that can be eliminated! Why do I say that? Just because the wait is merely 2 seconds! During that time, you will already be finished a gift giveaway blog hop, exergen temporal scanner, mom must have, R nd moving on to something else. I really like the ease of the Exergen Thermometer. It has a soft tip on it that you gently swipe across the forehead of your "patient." There are two things that make this stand out compared to others that I have used. One - If you are sweating, you can place it behind your ear to get your temperature. Two - There is a light on both sides to show you that it is on. I like that, as I sometimes worry if it is on or not... You know how I can be! First, remove the protective cap... Turn it on... ...
