As a Mom, watching our child learn to walk is one of the most exciting moments of parenthood. Just this time last year, I can remember watching Kyle master his first steps and final walk 100% of the time a few weeks before his 1st Birthday. Until he achieved his official walker status, a walker push toy was a key product that helped him develop his skills. How we all loved watching him walk behind his push toys! &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;With the holidays approaching, we're giving away an Explore 'N Grow Step Start Walk 'N Ride from Playskool to one lucky reader.  I love this toy especially as it converts to use either as a ride on toy or a walk 'n push toy. Here's a video clip about the prize.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rBahQvT3Wew&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rBahQvT3Wew&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 21px; "&gt;&lt;div style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 21px; "&gt;&lt;strong style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;Enter to win:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 21px; "&gt;&lt;strong style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;1.

We always use books to help us discuss what's happening - good or bad so I was excited to see a list to help kids who are facing the challenge of a big move. As a kid, we moved the summer before I went into 4th grade and it was definitely a big deal for me. Our move was local but included a school change and even now I can remember the nerves, fear, and excitement of this life change. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Moving causes anxiety for everyone, but for kids it can be exceptionally overwhelming. Leaving behind friends, changing cschools, and having to get used to a new home can be very exhausting and difficult. Books can be an invaluable resource in helping to explain to kids that just because you move doesn't mean you forget your old home or friends.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt; Here's their top picks to help with the adjustment. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; "&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1410418901?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=classymommy-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=390957&amp;amp;creativeASIN=1410418901"&gt;Moving Day by Meg Cabot&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - This book comes from Cabot’s series for younger girls, Allie Finkle’s Rules for Girls. Known for her entrancing stories in The Princess Diaries series, Cabot takes readers through Allie Finkle’s reaction and reality when her family decides to move across town. Filled with worries and concerns, Finkle has to go to a new school as a new kid and find new friends. But what about her old best friend?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Moving Book: A Kids’ Survival Guide by Gabriel Davis&lt;/b&gt; - Turn moving into an adventure for your tween. This fits somewhere between moving scrapbook and guide to moving. It includes advice on packing, discovering the new house and neighborhood and also getting valuable information from the old neighbors so that they aren’t forgotten in the move.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;We’re Moving by Heather Maisner&lt;/b&gt; - When kids move, they aren’t just leaving behind their house. They are also moving away from the special things they did with their family there - like plant a garden, play tag in the yard or have an Easter egg hunt. This story for young elementary school kids addresses that, and how you can make new memories like those in your new home too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0394848381?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=classymommy-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=390957&amp;amp;creativeASIN=0394848381"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0394848381?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=classymommy-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=390957&amp;amp;creativeASIN=0394848381"&gt;The Berenstain Bears’ Moving Day by Stan Berenstain&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - The Berenstain Bears are moving to a new tree house and Brother isn’t sure he’s going to like it — or make friends. This is perfect for talking to your preschooler about a move, since the Bears are very vocal with their relatable concerns.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Who Will Be My Friends? by Syd Hoff&lt;/b&gt; - This is a great book to give your child just before or after a move or if a new family has moved into the neighborhood. Freddy teaches us what it is like to be new and discovers that meeting new people and new friends is not as difficult as he first thought.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28237223-8070927768571751219?l=www.classymommy.com%2Fblog'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.classymommy.com/blog/2009/11/books-to-help-kids-move.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Classy Mommy)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>4</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28237223.post-2246468458774146194</guid><pubDate>Wed, 04 Nov 2009 01:48:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-11-03T20:48:00.487-05:00</atom:updated><title>Free My Little Pony Coloring Sheet</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.classymommy.com/blog/uploaded_images/My-Little-Pony-Coloring-Sheet-711671.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 247px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.classymommy.com/blog/uploaded_images/My-Little-Pony-Coloring-Sheet-711657.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Thought you might like this free My Little Pony coloring page if your daughter is as into coloring and the My Little Pony gang as Mackenzie.

After visiting the &lt;a href="http://www.moodymamas.com/"&gt;Moody Mamas website&lt;/a&gt;, I was wildly impressed as their clothes look so stylish and trendy, they almost make me consider trying for Round 3! Moody Mamas designs really are versatile and many can even be worn post pregnancy as they are so stylish and flexible. They are sophisticated, trendy and work for both day to night as well. Celebrity moms like Heidi Klum, Jessica Alba, Tori Spelling, and Ashlee Simpson are all fans of this ultra-popular high-fashion maternity line Moody Mamas and now you can buy it at a price you can afford at Target.com View the&lt;a href="http://www.target.com/Moody-Mamas-Maternity-Women/b/ref=sc_fe_l_2/177-2877926-8733941?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;node=2233971011"&gt; Moody Mamas line sold at Target.com here&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Moody Mamas was created by 2 fashion-savvy young women in their 20’s,Marta Abrams and Elise Rosemarin, who are single and have never had children - admittedly an unlikely pair to design a maternity line - which is precisely why they have been so successful --throwing out the rulebook and shaking up the status quo by creating a bold, daring collection that has injected style and fashion flair back into the lives of expectant moms everywhere. It has also become the go-to maternity line for women across America and worldwide, available at more than 200 boutiques and other major retailers, including Nordstrom.com, Harrod’s, and Belk’s.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Our prize package will include the following items (winner will determine sizing):&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;- High Neck Top with Cascading Ruffle – $27.99 &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;- Jersey Wrap with Ruffle Detail – 39.99&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;- 2-Tone V-Neck Dress with Pockets –$39.99&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;- Ruffled Tunic Top – $34.99&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;- Nursing PJ Set – $44.99 &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;(Total Retail Value: approx. $190 )&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Enter to win: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1.

With H1N1 hitting my Philly suburb in a big way these past few weeks, like many Parents, I'm worrying if the kids will get sick and trying to prevent germ exposure as much as possible. (Think lots of hand sanitizer and avoiding unnecessary activities.) So far, the kids have been unscathed with a major illness this Fall. We've had a few share of colds and 1 ear infection, but after a summer full of repeat episodes of cellulitus, ear infections, and a case of walking Pneumonia, I'm counting my lucky stars!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I've been thinking of ways to proactively boost our immune systems before we even get the flu and wondering what I'll do to ease symptoms if the kids do come down with the virus. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I recently heard about some &lt;a href="http://children.boironusa.com/"&gt;FDA approved products from Boiron,&lt;/a&gt; a leader in homeopathic medicines, that can also help soothe cold and flu symptoms. I'm impressed with the &lt;a href="http://blog.boironusa.com/"&gt;Boiron blog &lt;/a&gt;offering homeopathic advice and the fact that their medicines for children are indeed FDA approved for the indications on the package so as a parent, I'll know I can safely provide a dose to my children. I will likely give them a try the next time the kids get sick with a cold as I received free samples from an online offer. (The offer has since expired, but there are some great &lt;a href="http://children.boironusa.com/freesample/"&gt;Boiron coupons &lt;/a&gt;here. ) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you do to boost your immune system? Or the kids? Do you take any extra vitamins? Or have any other secrets? I'd love to hear them!&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;For myself, besides a multi-vitamin I also take the following daily to boost my immune system:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;- Vitamin C with Rose Hips&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;- Vitamin D &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I've also heard that garlic pills and black elderberry syrup are an excellent line of defense.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Right now Mackenzie , age 4, &amp;amp; Kyle, age 1, are just on a standard multi-vitamin for kids. I'm always nervous about what other homeopathic remedies I can safely dose to kids so we've just stuck to the basics. I think I might try increasing their Vitamin C intake through healthy foods like a clementine orange per day as my kids devour those sweet style oranges. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28237223-8671435312648231696?l=www.classymommy.com%2Fblog'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.classymommy.com/blog/2009/11/homeopathic-tips-for-preventing-flu.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Classy Mommy)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>6</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28237223.post-3342725575087620600</guid><pubDate>Fri, 30 Oct 2009 19:09:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-10-30T16:27:46.562-04:00</atom:updated><title>My Little Red Riding Hood</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.classymommy.com/blog/uploaded_images/Little-Red-Riding-Hood-Costume-771519.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://www.classymommy.com/blog/uploaded_images/Little-Red-Riding-Hood-Costume-771514.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Exciting times! Halloween is tomorrow night. We've had a super busy week as yesterday was Kenzie's Halloween Parade, tomorrow is her birthday party, and then we'll be trick or treating with both kids in the evening. (Kyle will likely be a super hero as I've been unable to coerce him into either the bear or horse getup we purchased for him.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't forget to be safe when you're out trick or treating with the kids.

We didn't let the rescheduling of Kenzie's birthday party (thanks to H1N1) stop our fun last Saturday. Instead, Nana surprised both Kenzie and Mom with a reservation for Tea at the Simpson Tea Room in Chester Springs, PA.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.classymommy.com/blog/uploaded_images/10_27_09-iPhone-055-747065.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;While certainly not anything like Tea at the Plaza in New York, Kenzie was beyond thrilled with our outing. (Not that I've ever been to Tea at the Plaza, but I do imagine the experience belongs in a different stratosphere than that of our local tea room)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.classymommy.com/blog/uploaded_images/10_27_09-iPhone-047-797886.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Kenzie loves treats and food is the way to her heart. She ordered a grand hot chocolate with whipped cream and Peter Pan Tea Sandwiches, also kown as a triple decker PBJ. For dessert we all devoured the seasonal gingerbread cake with fresh cream. It was delicious!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.classymommy.com/blog/uploaded_images/10_27_09-iPhone-039-705738.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We all loved the girl time together and practicing being fancy and sipping from tea cups. We all can't wait to return to the Simpson Tea Room for another special occasion. If you are from the Chester County area - the Simpson Tea Room is off of Byers Rd. and next to Pickering Valley Elementary School. The prices were super reasonable and we even had a stellar coupon to buy one entree and get one free. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28237223-5034289994126936696?l=www.classymommy.com%2Fblog'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.classymommy.com/blog/2009/10/tea-party-for-kenzie.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Classy Mommy)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>3</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28237223.post-6029252346609421595</guid><pubDate>Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:37:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-10-27T14:49:20.588-04:00</atom:updated><title>Little Buddy Child Tracker GPS Device</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.classymommy.com/blog/uploaded_images/Little-Buddy-GPS-device-794319.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 220px; height: 112px;" src="http://www.classymommy.com/blog/uploaded_images/Little-Buddy-GPS-device-794316.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Want GPS for your little explorer?

Available at &lt;a href="http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9540703&amp;amp;st=little+buddy&amp;amp;lp=1&amp;amp;type=product&amp;amp;cp=1&amp;amp;id=1218123143064"&gt;Best Buy&lt;/a&gt; in blue or green. The Little Buddy Child Tracker fits into a lunchbox or backpack and apparently has a 1 week battery life. ( Currently, it is back ordered on Best Buy.)&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And yes, this post and product are legitimate which is a little bit hard to believe with a price point of only $99 for a GPS tracking device.  I've not yet reviewed this product myself but figured you'd like the general product info. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Today, the &lt;a href="http://www.suntimes.com/technology/1847999,CST-NWS-tracker27.article"&gt;Chicago Sun Times reported t&lt;/a&gt;hat, "It combines global satellite positioning and cellular technology to signal the child's whereabouts to a computer or smart phone. Parents can program the device to set up specific times and locations where the child is supposed to be -- in school or at home, for example -- and the device sends a text message if the child leaves the site in that time."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Techies have supposedly given this GPS for kiddies angry write ups, but maybe they're not worried parents.  Seriously, I plan to invest in this $99 GPS device or something compatible to keep track of my adventurous toddler Kyle when he hits the preschool years. Already he'll begin to wander into the woods on his own accord while we're playing in the backyard if we don't stop him. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28237223-6029252346609421595?l=www.classymommy.com%2Fblog'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.classymommy.com/blog/2009/10/little-buddy-child-tracker-gps-device.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Classy Mommy)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>4</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28237223.post-3433983769960313190</guid><pubDate>Tue, 27 Oct 2009 14:24:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-10-27T10:34:06.473-04:00</atom:updated><title>Kate Gosselin Wig - For real!</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.classymommy.com/blog/uploaded_images/Kate_Gosselin-Wig-790820.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://www.classymommy.com/blog/uploaded_images/Kate_Gosselin-Wig-790817.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Can't resist sharing this one.

Yes, you've made it ultra big time when they create a Halloween costume for you.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I always wonder just what is up with Kate's haircut. I mean really... would you want this hairstyle? I doubt it. Kate manages to somehow pull it off but it is weird!  Whatever we may think about Kate, I suspect her hair is just one more fantastic way for this marketing genius to get more buzz for herself, her brand, her family and her show. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28237223-3433983769960313190?l=www.classymommy.com%2Fblog'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.classymommy.com/blog/2009/10/kate-gosselin-wig-for-real.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Classy Mommy)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>4</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28237223.post-4457016976127390839</guid><pubDate>Tue, 27 Oct 2009 14:23:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-10-27T10:54:35.535-04:00</atom:updated><title>Madeline Talking Doll Giveaway</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.classymommy.com/blog/uploaded_images/Madeline-Talking-Doll-765078.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 118px; height: 166px;" src="http://www.classymommy.com/blog/uploaded_images/Madeline-Talking-Doll-765076.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Win it!

Each household can return up to 4 DVD's for $15.99 each.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The easy to follow &lt;a href="http://www.babyeinstein.com/(S(3qnoffi1whnnnt55h2ljk355))/parentsguide/satisfaction/upgrade_us.html"&gt;Baby Einstein refund instructions can be found here&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Wondering why you can get a refund on your Baby Einstein DVD's? Well the FTC has deemed the marketing of Baby Einstein DVD's by Disney as "educational" videos for infants to be a false claim. The CCFC filed this complaint in 2006 at which point Disney stopped claiming the DVD's were educational. However, customers were not offered a refund or return/exchange option. The CCFC pressed on with the FTC and now until March 4th, 2010 you can exchange your item for a refund. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Personally, I never found the Baby Einstein DVD's to be an overly educational experience for my young infants under 6 months however, I certainly found them to be entertaining for my kids and they definitely offered a much needed break for Mom. Usually, we watched our DVD's together, but they provided a refreshing break for Mom as it enabled someone else to be the entertainer for a 20 minutes. We especially enjoyed the Farm Animal &amp;amp; World Animal versions and I'd recommend those Baby Einstein DVDs to any Parent looking for a dvd option for their young babies under 9 months old.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28237223-7221577043182630359?l=www.classymommy.com%2Fblog'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.classymommy.com/blog/2009/10/baby-einstein-refund.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Classy Mommy)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>3</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28237223.post-6201590363690797131</guid><pubDate>Mon, 26 Oct 2009 00:38:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-10-26T07:24:52.293-04:00</atom:updated><title>Conversations with Kyle</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.classymommy.com/blog/uploaded_images/photo-(10)-772342.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 308px;" src="http://www.classymommy.com/blog/uploaded_images/photo-(10)-772338.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Now that our late blooming talker Kyle is beginning to speak more we're having some funny conversations.

Located in the heart of Central Park near the intersection of Central Park Driveway/6th Ave. and 65th Transverse (near Sheep's Meadow), the carousel was built in 1871 and is still going strong. The carousel has the largest hand-carved figures ever constructed... the horses are 3/4 the size of a real horse! The figures are all hand-painted, as well, and Wurlizter music streams beautifully from a Ruth Sohn band organ in the middle of the carousel. Outside the carousel there are vendors of ice cream, cotton candy and the like, so you really get the feeling that you're at a county fair. There's also a picnic area that you can rent out for birthday parties if you live nearby. The Central Park Carousel is open all year round, weather permitting, so it's something you can enjoy in the summer and winter alike. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 150%"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.classymommy.com/blog/uploaded_images/Carousel2-702472.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 231px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.classymommy.com/blog/uploaded_images/Carousel2-702470.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 150%"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.classymommy.com/blog/uploaded_images/Carousel3-702469.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 248px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.classymommy.com/blog/uploaded_images/Carousel3-702467.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 150%"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A ride lasts 3-4 minutes long and costs a very reasonable $2 per person per ride.

How well I can remember my water breaking after my gigantic pasta &amp;amp; meatball dinner and the memorable natural childbirth that followed. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hard to believe that the tiny girl once in my belly is now my most special little friend in the world. &lt;a href="http://www.webanza.com/minipadilla/"&gt;For fans of the original "Mini Padilla" website, here is a link to the archives with those adorable photos and videos of the early days&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We spent the morning at Kenzie's favorite park with friends as we skipped our regular Wednesday swimming lessons - since it the only activity she hates, it didn't seem fair to go on her bday. Tonight we'll eat Chocolate Cupcakes and she'll be able to open up her very special present. Mom decided to splurge and spoil her with An American Girl - Just Like You doll. We'll see how she likes it as I don't know how the actual real life doll will compete with her obsessive love affair with the American Girl Catalog for the past 5 months.  Hopefully, she will be excited and surprised. Especially as I explained today that they don't sell American Girls Phoenixville. Our conversation followed with her understanding it would be impossible to buy an American Girl locally since they'd only sell them in New York City and other cities where the American Girls are from. We left it that she'll need to ask Santa since he is more magical than Mommy and maybe he could make it happen.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28237223-4424471136487286557?l=www.classymommy.com%2Fblog'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.classymommy.com/blog/2009/10/happy-4th-birthday-mackenzie.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Classy Mommy)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28237223.post-4274369859569172005</guid><pubDate>Tue, 20 Oct 2009 14:05:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-10-20T10:10:49.859-04:00</atom:updated><title>Born Free Giveaway</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.classymommy.com/blog/uploaded_images/born-free-sippy-772427.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 190px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 190px" alt="" src="http://www.classymommy.com/blog/uploaded_images/born-free-sippy-772425.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Win it!

Mattel Games just launched a new line of fun games geared towards pre-schoolers and young children that are exciting for the entire family. &lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had the pleasure of trying out 4 new great games that Mattel was generous enough to send us as I help them promote the launch of these new games. &lt;strong&gt;I'm also giving away a prize package of all 4 games valued at $96 to one lucky Classy Mommy reader. Enter below to win.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Whac-a-M&lt;a href="http://www.classymommy.com/blog/uploaded_images/WhacAMole-725302.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://www.classymommy.com/blog/uploaded_images/WhacAMole-725276.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;ole Ages 4+ $22.00&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This take on the classic arcade and amusement game will appeal to people of all ages - and they’ll probably get into a frenzied sweat trying to beat down the Moles who keep lighting up during about 45 seconds of game play. I like how this game can be played with 1 player only and has both an easy and more competitive setting. From the “Mom” perspective, Whac-a-Mole was my personal favorite game to play as I found it such addictive fun. And I’m the competitive type so I really enjoyed trying to beat my own score again and again. Mackenzie liked the fast paced action of this game and I was impressed with her ability to perfectly play Whac-a-Mole as she held her little mallet to beat down the Moleys.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Uno Moo! Ages 3+ $19.99&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.classymommy.com/blog/uploaded_images/UNO_Moo-773808.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://www.classymommy.com/blog/uploaded_images/UNO_Moo-773460.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Everybody loves Uno and this game is a spin off of the classic designed with young kids in mind. Playing cards are replaced by adorable animal figurines in Uno Moo that Mattel research shows are far easier for tiny little hands to grip and hold. The object of the game is to get all your animal figures into the Red Barn first. Uno Moo helps kids practice matching colors and animals during game play. I love the design of using figures instead of cards for Uno Moo since a stack of cards can be boring for young kids - not to mention holding a hand of cards is a physically impossible task for a 3 or 4 year old. If you have you ever tried to play Go Fish with a 3 year old you know what I’m talking about! Uno Moo has become a quick favorite in our household as my preschooler is really getting into games. Mackenzie requests we play it again and again. Even little Kyle at 21 months, who is under age for real game play, is thrilled with the animal figures and loves putting them in and out of the barn as he watches us play. He does his best to help us get the animals into the Barn and when we make a match he is quick to say “Bye Bye Moo!” or “Bye Bye Baa Baa” as we put a cow or sheep into the barn. He even carries the little barn full of figures around the house! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;S&lt;a href="http://www.classymommy.com/blog/uploaded_images/Saucer_Scramble-775719.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 157px" alt="" src="http://www.classymommy.com/blog/uploaded_images/Saucer_Scramble-775569.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;aucer Scramble Ages 5+ $23.99&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Board games are certainly fun, but sometimes the little ones need to get moving! For little bundles of energy like our little Kyle, Saucer Scramble is right up their alley. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Little “alien” saucer discs, about the size of a silver dollar, get launched into the air where they float for a few seconds. Each player gets a scooper to try to catch them. There are few different ways to play the game, but for Kyle and Kenzie, we had plenty of fun just trying to catch them. Somehow, the game for us morphed into trying to catching the saucers, which then became our make-believe food that we had to stash away for the winter. Not exactly the rules that Mattel had in mind, but my kids loved it. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Electro&lt;a href="http://www.classymommy.com/blog/uploaded_images/Electronic_Toss_Across-726703.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://www.classymommy.com/blog/uploaded_images/Electronic_Toss_Across-726691.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;nic Toss Across Ages 5+ $29.99&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Electronic Toss Across will get you moving, throwing and jumping as this spin off of Tic-Tac-Toe can be played 8 different ways. The electronic game board can be used on the floor or hung on the wall. It lights up and makes sounds during game play and you can program it for single player or multi-player games. Players toss bean bags to hit their "electronic" pod target for games like Darts, Tic-Tac-Toe, aim for the 4 corners, and more. My kids were a little young to aim perfectly for this game according to the rules compared to their ability to play the above games, but tossing, throwing, and shaking bean bags is generally always exciting and appealing for the little tykes so they still enjoyed their own version of fun. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Enter to win a Mattel Games prize package valued at $96.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1.
