Ha ha ha...

Have you ever read a kids book and find yourself cracking up laughing harder than the kids? 
Well, I think that is the case here... 
I know that this is meant to be a kids book, but let me tell you now...

 I think that this is a book that should be given to all first time parents.  
It is a great laugh... but it would be great because they would already be building up their kids library without thinking about it.  


Kel Gilligan's Daredevil Stunt Show by Michael Buckley is awesome. 
I mean, I was cracking up... 
I loved it!  

Kel Gilligan is one CRAZY Daredevil, I tell you now...

You open the book and prepare for it.. Just what is this kid going to do?

I mean, the kid is ready... 
He has his helmet (you know, you have to be safe!)  and he helps kids of all ages face their fear!  
If Kel can do it, can't we all?! 

Okay... so... I will sneak and tell you one daredevil stunt he did... 
HE . TRIED.  NEW.  FOOD!
"He Put His Life At Risk!"  Come on.. that is some kind of danger there buddy... 
Broccoli at that!  
Ha ha ha.  
I love how they build up the excitement... and then you turn to see the awesome feat... 

But the illustrator was doing an awesome job too, as the illustration of his feat is shown as the screen of a camcorder!  What a great concept to showing this in a whole new way!!!
Honestly, as I said... it was such a cute book... 
Eating Broccoli, Going Potty and more... 

All deathly frightening to a little one just growing and learning, but too cute that mom and dad have to document it all!  

About the book
From Michael Buckley, the bestselling author of the Sisters Grimm and NERDS series, and Dan Santat, author-illustrator of Sidekicks, comes this hilarious picture book starring Kel Gilligan (a.k.a. “The Boy Without Fear”) that encourages kids to laugh at their fears and celebrates the bravery it takes to try new things no matter how ordinary. Narrated by Kel himself as he attempts his “stunts” with Evel Knievel–like flair, the story unfolds as a performance in which readers themselves become part of the audience, encouraging Kel to get dressed all by himself (without a net!), eat new foods like broccoli (eww!), and take a bath (gasp!). Bold, interactive, and downright silly, this is a book to make kids cheer and attempt some “stunts” of their own.

    That sounds like a funny book! The illustration on the cover is pretty cool to.

    My kids have no problem eating new foods.

    Broccoli can be a risky adventure when you're a kid. I didn't even try it until I was grown. ;) This book sounds fun.

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... ...
