Disney Consumer Products Adorable Easter Stitch

Our family loves all things related to Disney.  In fact my daughter loves Stitch!  We make sure to visit him every time we go to Walt Disney World.  When I saw Disney Consumer Products and Interactive Media come out with an Easter Stitch I knew she would love it!  Seriously how adorable is he?

He rested well in her Easter Basket.  She immediately screamed when seeing him and grabbed him and gave him a big hug.  He has now been sleeping in her bed since she got him.

I love Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse.  Check out this adorable Minnie Mouse!  Shellie our Shetland Sheepdog thinks she is pretty cute too.

3/27/14: MLB Radz Giveaway

CONTEST CLOSED:  CONGRATULATIONS HOLLY FOR WINNING!

It is so hard to come up with cute little things to put in the kids Easter baskets.  Last year I learned about Radz which are  super cute toys and candy dispensers that clip on to kid's backpacks.  This year they came out with a Major League Baseball Radz and I knew my kids would love them.  Read on and you can win one MLB Radz of your favorite team.

Radz just released these MLB Radz on March 15th.  They are made for all 30 MLB teams and great to collect.

The kids got right to it putting the Radz candies in to the dispensers. 

 We got both the Red Sox Home and Away versions.  Special edition “Away” Radz are only available for the Yankees, Red Sox, Phillies, Cubs, Cardinals, and Mets. 

 These are perfect to clip on to sports bags or backpacks.

 The kids loves these candies.

Evan was excited to look at the whole lineup.  His Little League team is the Angels so he decided that is the next one he wants.

The MLB candy dispensers come with a pack of delicious peanut-free and gluten-free Radz Candy and a backpack clip.  I love that they are priced at between $5.99-$7.99. You can find them at most Major League Baseball stadium team stores plus Walgreens, Rite Aid, and Hudson News, and at candy, toy and gift stores across the country.  The other cool thing about them is Radz also comes with a special code that kids can use to log into RadzWorld.com and unlock special apps, games, videos and more.  What an awesome combination of candy, toy, and technology.

The Radz candy comes in four citrusy flavors of Orange Burst, Apple Smash, Strawberry Splash and Radzberry Crush. Here they are with their little tongues out.

Of course my kids had to mimic them and put one on their tongue too.  Super cute!

 Would you like to win one?  Enter in the Rafflecopter below and you get your choice of one MLB team Radz.

Disclosure:  I received these Radz for review and giveaway purposes.  No other compensation was received and all opinions are my own.

3/31/13: Easter Festivities and a Flashback

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter today for those of you who celebrate Easter.  We had a wonderful day.  It is always fun to see the kids hunt for eggs and get their Easter baskets.

It was fun that my Mom gave Lauren a few of my old dresses.  So here is Lauren wearing the same dress I wore on Easter in 1980 when I was 6, she will be 6 in 13 days.

Here is another flashback picture of me with my parents that same Easter.

Here are the baskets before the kids ripped through them.

Here are the kids all excited with their loot in their Easter baskets.

We of course had to have an Easter egg hunt which is always fun.

Lauren excited with what she found.

Evan found the coveted golden egg.  We always make one special egg hidden extra hard for the kids to find.

The kids looking cute.

Here are the kids with their cousins and Chewy my sister-in-law's dog.  What a fun day!

3/15/13: Radz Combining Toy, Candy Dispenser and Technology

Every year I struggle to come up with cute things to put in the kids Easter baskets that don't break the bank and that the kids will like.  I recently found Radz which are  super cute toys and candy dispensers that clip on to kid's backpacks.  My kids loved them plus they bring technology with them as they have an online component.

 We received Bubbs and Antic.  Their hair comes off to fill them with candy and then they stick their little tongues out to dispense the candy.  They are adorable!  

The other cool thing about them is Radz also comes with a special code that kids can use to log into RadzWorld.com and unlock special apps, games, videos and more.  What an awesome combination of candy, toy, and technology.

Radz is the only company providing a blend of tech, treats and creative play and they only cost $4.99 to $7.99.  My kids loved the taste of the candy too.  The Radz candy comes in four citrusy flavors of Orange Burst, Apple Smash, Strawberry Splash and Radzberry Crush. Plus the treats are peanut-free, gluten-free and kosher certified.

And they loved playing with their two guys.

You can't help but giggle a little when these little guys stick their cute little tongues out.

Here is a short video showing Radz from this year's Toy Fair in NY.

My son being silly with his.

My daughter was having fun talking to hers telling him he shouldn't stick his tongue out.

New for 2013, are fun add-ons like mystery glasses to accessorize your Radz, zoo and sports characters, and college logos (30 licensed teams launched this year alone) are just the beginning of a Radz adventure. When the chewing is done, launch into some challenging Apps like Radz: ZapTap or Radz: ZigZag downloaded free.

Here is the Series 1 Radz:

3/9/13: PAAS and Heinz Coloring Easter and Contributing to Make-A-Wish

One of our favorite activities to do at Easter is to color eggs and decorate them.  When I think of coloring eggs I automatically think of PAAS Egg Decorating Kits.  This year I was able to receive an assortment of them and wanted to share our creations with you and some exciting charitable work that Heinz and PAAS are doing together.

First off we received the PAAS color cups.  The cool thing is that they come with several cups to color eggs in, plus wire holders for eggs, egg dying tablets and a magic crayon.

Here is Evan using his favorite color blue.  For the brightest colors we followed the directions where you put 3 tablespoons of Heinz Distilled White Vinegar in the cup with the tablet.  Once the tablet dissolves you add 1/2 cup water.  I also learned that if you add 2 tablespoons of Heinz Distilled White Vinegar per quart of water before placing the eggs in the pot it will prevent them from cracking and will help with shells peeling off later.  You can learn other Egg Decorating Tips here.

 Lauren had fun coloring eggs too.

 Lauren made this heart with the magic crayon.  She used a stencil and colored in the heart and when you dye the egg the section that you use the magic crayon on will not turn the color.

Here is the full assortment of items I received.  PAAS has a lot of cool new sets and Heinz White Vinegar even has Easter Eggs on it's label.  What a perfect combination.

Until March 31st if you go to http://www.heinzpaaseaster.com/ and decorate a virtual Easter egg Heinz and PAAS will donate $1, up to $25,000 to Wake-A-Wish!  The app is also available in the iTunes App Store for iPad.  Here is the one we created and shared with our friends and family.

Tweet the following to have your friends do the same:   Dye, decorate and share digital PAAS® Easter eggs at their website, and they will donate to Make-A-Wish®. HeinzPAASEaster.com.

We also received PAAS Deggorating Doodles to decorate our eggs.  They also came with color tablets and a stencil.

 Both kids liked coloring on their eggs.

My favorite item was one that is new for 2013 which is the Touch of Velvet.  You use these small stickers that you place on to the egg.

You remove the white part and it leaves a sticky film that looks like the sticker.  You push the flocking powder on to the sticky party and it sticks to the design.

Look at how cool this comes out!

The kids had a great time decorating eggs, and so did I!

 

Here are all of our creations.  We also received Volcano Eggsplosion which is a kit that uses melted crayon shavings to provide instant color.  This is done with hot eggs.  We didn't try that one out yet but will be sure to before Easter comes.
