So as many of you know we are madly in love with crocs.  But not because of the same reasons that average person is.  Have you ever gone into a croc store and really looked around?  First if you have not you have to go do it and plan to send half they day there madly in love with everything you see.  But it is not because of all the pretty colors and different styles.

It is because Crocs slip on.  And for us that is awesome.  Because with one hand, tying your shoes is very hard.  With crocs they have so many different styles of shoes that we can find slip on shoes for just about all seasons.

Crocs not only had 10 fingered kids in mind when they created crocs but they also had our kids with special needs in mind.  They make it so easy for our kids to still be stylish but also be able to slip on these shoes and go.

Haylee loves this because she does not have to ask her teachers or friends at school to help her lace her shoes up.

So the next time you go to buy a awesome pair of shoes.. remember who makes buying shoes super easy.. CROCS…..

We recently had the opportunity to review  Just Dance Summer Party on Wii.  And I have to be honest at first I was like well the kids should have fun, but was not too sure how much fun my husband and I would have.  My husband and I don’t always have the best time on the wii when it comes to dancing.

But Just Dance Summer Party on Wii totally changed that for me.  We had the most fun amazing time with this game.  First my favorite part was it was all songs that I totally knew and were appropiate for the whole family.

Second they have a super fun part where you interact with the other dancer and dance together at parts.  We laughed and had so much fun that when we had family over the next day we all got in on dancing and shaking our stuff.

This is one game I would recommend for everyone to get.  The young and the old.  And it is even better for us because with  my daughter only having one hand it did not require the numchuck so she was able to have even more fun because she was not worried about how she was going to hold both controllers.

Two of my favorite songs were:

Barbie Girl and Funkytown

If you are looking for a  great family friendly Wii game for the whole family to have fun with I would totally suggest Just Dance Summer Party on Wii.

We were recently fortunate enough to be able to host our first ever Webkinz Jr. Mommy Party…. And I have to be honest.  At first I was a little nervous about hosting a Mommy Party because I had never done this before.  But I have to tell you it went off without a hitch and the kids were begging me to have another one…

We had an amazing time creating crafts, playing games and having snacks.

Each of the kids left with their own Webkinz Jr., a coloring book, a CD, two crafts they created, a wonderful bag that they were able to put everything into and much more.

We started out the party with a couple ice breaker games just to get the kids juices flowing and to get them excited about meeting their Webkinz Jr.’s.  Then during snack time we introduced the kids to the online world of Webkinz Jr. and had some awesome cookies shaped like the Webkinz Animals.

The kids were so excited to meet their Webkinz Jr. that once I started passing them out they were laughing and screaming and playing..

We ended the party creating a Friendship bracelet for themselves and their Webkinz Jr. and than we sent supplies home to make their own paper bag puppets.

One of my favorite things about Webkinz Jr. is how safe it is for my daughter to play games and interact with other children online.

If you want to find out more about Webkinz Jr. Take this awesome tour that will have your children begging for a Webkinz Jr. by the time they are done watching the tour.

Sorry there are not more pictures to share but I had so much fun at the party that I completely forgot to take pictures.

Our Family loves playing cards. We play all the time. But we found it was hard for Haylee to play card because she could not hold the cards in her and and pick cards up and not show everyone else her cards. We tried and tried to figure out what we could do to make it work.

So Dad went to the garage and brought us back this wonderful card holder. She is able to stick the cards in the slot and see all the cards. It is amazing and makes card playing so much fun for the whole family.

The Card holder holds about 10 cards. It does not take up much room when it is stored and it can be taken just about anywhere. We keep one at home and also have one in the car.

If you are interested in a card holder to make or to have one made please feel free to contact us.

Description: The Disney Mix Stick- is a MP3 player for children that will play songs two ways. The first way to play songs is by the SD/MMC card slot, this slot plays WMA/MP3 songs that have been saved to SD/MMC cards. You can also buy SD/MMC cards that already come preloaded with music onto the cards. The Disney Company sells them under the name of Mix Clips. The Mix Clips offer the convenience of a full CD’s worth of songs in one little SD/MMC card.

The second way that the Disney Mix Stick plays songs are to take them directly from your computer. To do so is very easy, simply take the end off of the Disney Mix Stick and plug it directly into your computer. Any songs from your computer that are in the MP3/WMA format can be loaded unto your Disney Mix Stick player. It also comes with software to load to your computer to help you with the copying of music files from your computer to your Disney Mix Stick-High School Musical in Orange player.

Review: Haylee Has the Disney Mix Clip and loved is. She got it for Christmas. It is very sturdy and have lasted very well. I have had no problems with transferring songs from my computer to the player. I give this product a 5 star rating.

The buttons on the Disney Mix Stick player are very easy to use. There are buttons for functions that include, fast forward, rewind, play, pause, mix it and loop.

The Disney Mix Stick MP3 player also comes with a built in rechargeable battery that has an 8-hour playback life, ear buds and a lanyard with a safety release. Every time you plug in your Disney Mix Stick player to transfer songs from your computer to the player you are also charging the rechargeable battery.

The reason that I love the VSmile pocket is because you can switch the controls around on it.  This is great for my daughter who does not have figures on her left hand.  This makes it easy to switch the controls to what works best for her and if someone else plays it you are able to switch it back.
