We LOVE Crayola here and the kids use their products all the time! We are also going on a LONG car ride this summer (to get to our favorite place in Maine) and we were very lucky to be sent an amazing assortment of Crayola products perfect for travel! I am extra excited because I can give my 3 year old Color Wonder products to use and won’t have to worry about her making a big mess in my recently shampooed minivan (she is quite a messy kid and normally that’s okay but I REALLY want to keep the minivan clean)! It works out perfectly that both girls sit next to each other and can share all of the Color Wonder products and the boys (both older) can share all of the Crayola Dry Erase products in the back row! It is one less thing to stress about for me because I now have some car distractions stashed away and I am not letting the kids see them until they need a surprise mid-travel! THANK YOU CRAYOLA!

As Crayola helps keep your kids occupied in the backseat this summer, you can enjoy the ride because Crayola Color Wonderproducts are made to let kids express themselves without making a mess.

  • With over 10 feet of coloring, the compact Color Wonder On the Go Tiny Tube lets kids tear off a perforated activity page for magical coloring fun at home or on the road.  The tube fits in the cup holder of a car and can store the included markers inside, making it a perfect on-the-go activity. Adhesive-backing allows paper to stay in place while coloring so kids can easily create anything imaginable.
  • Bring your friends on the road with the Disney and Barbie Crayola Color Wonder Mini Coloring Pad and Markers. With more pages than ever, kids will enjoy coloring a variety of pictures featuring some of their favorite characters. These fun coloring pads are also available in mini sizes that are perfect for tucking into a bag and bring them with you wherever you go.
  • Get back to basics and allow kids to draw what they see outside their car window or daydream and draw whatever they imagine with the Color Wonder Coloring Pad. Kids will be entertained in the back seat with 5 sheets of Color Wonder paper and 2 Color Wonder Markers that only leave a mark on special Color Wonder paper.

Create, erase, and create again with Crayola Dry Erase products that allow kids to unleash their inner artist over and over without carrying around hundreds of sheets of paper.

  • You’ll be all packed up and ready to go with the Crayola Dry Erase Travel Pack that features a dry erase surface, along with dry erase crayons, an eraser and a sharpener to help sustain hours of fun. Take out the game and activity templates and let kids challenge each other to different games using vibrant, washable markers.
  • Everyone can get in the game with the Crayola Dry Erase Zany Play that comes with four bullet tip dry erase markers and boards that your family can use to play games like tic-tac-toe, the dot game and mazes.

The lucky winner’s Crayola Summer Fun gift pack will contain (all the same great items that we got to review!):

  • Crayola Color Wonder On the Go Tiny Tubes
  • Color Wonder Coloring Pad
  • Color Wonder Barbie Mini Coloring Pad and Markers
  • Color Wonder Drawing Pad and Markers

Pillsbury Baguette Chips! Enter below to win some bags.

I know warm weather is supposed to make people crave ice cream but I’ve been craving salty crunchy things since spring. Flavored chips have not been lasting long here so I was very eager to try these new Pillsbury Baguette Chips! We all liked both the Italian Cheese & Herb flavor and the Cheddar Sundried Tomato flavor. I was thinking just John and I would like these but all four PICKY kids liked both flavors! In my mind these seemed like grown up snacks but we ended up having to share.... Read more »

General Mills cereals have Curvy Straws inside, WIN a prize package!

We are big General Mills fans here! I’m slow with this review but wow is spring BUSY! Crazy but good crazy. So that’s also my excuse why cereal is not just for breakfast anymore, we’ve had cereal nights when our schedule gets too insane with sports and activities. Of course no complaints when I offer the kids Cheerios for dinner and soon school will be out and summer laziness will be very welcome. Here is a little info from General Mills about the new CURVY STRAWS inside specially... Read more »

recent stuff!

Well here are some things that we’ve been up to: I made the girls carrot shirts and hair clips for Easter and all the kids got fleece carrots. Oh and before that I made the girls a bunch of clover hair clips for St Patrick’s Day. Oh AND I surprised the kids with a hamster the day before St Patrick’s Day so she is named Lucky Clover (Clover for short)! On April 1st (which was a Sunday this year!) we convinced the kids it was a school day and had them get ready and drove them to... Read more »

Father Daughter Dance!

Jamie went to her first dance last week! She had a great time and looked so pretty in her new purple dress. John took her out for ice cream after and she came home one tired and happy girl!

Mega Bloks Squad is a hit with my kids!

We were sent a fun new Mega Bloks Squad set to review! My kids LOVE anything that they can put together and the boys’ floor is never brick-free (and that’s how we like it!). The Mega Bloks Squad are great for kids just graduating from the chunkier “toddler bricks” into the small “big kid bricks” because the sets are not huge or hard to build yet they still have a lot of pieces to play with. The Blok Squad consists of the fire patrol, police force, construction... Read more »

Seventh Generation Free & Clear Diapers (WIN a package and the Lorax)

YAY I am nearing the end of diapers with my kids!!! Actually we have been done with daytime diapers for a long time (thanks to our youngest being a super early easy potty trainer) but nighttime is still not so easy for some of my kids. Since I’m only buying pull-up types of diapers for at night I really haven’t been paying much attention to new diaper products and I’m glad that I was given the chance to do this review and learn about Seventh Generation diapers. Our one daughter... Read more »

Yoplait Lactose Free (WIN a prize pack and try it)

I don’t think I have a lactose problem but my husband does and so do several other friends and family members. Its so great that more and more products are becoming available for people with lactose intolerance because its no fun to go without something you love! I have always loved yogurt and would really miss it if I was lactose intolerant. I just learned about the new lactose free Yoplait yogurt and here is a little info on it for you: Now, just in time for National Lactose Intolerance Awareness... Read more »

Win a prize pack and try the NEW Dulce de Leche Cheerios

CHEERIOS are eaten practically every day in our house (can’t remember the last day that they weren’t eaten by at least one of them at breakfast). I think its great that there are so many new types of Cheerios lately. We just tried the yummy peanut butter ones and now we got to try the latest flavor dulce de leche  AKA caramel. I thought they were great and so did John (despite his weird dislike of caramel). Three of the kids gave it a thumbs up and then of course there is Mr Picky who... Read more »

Well I think I better take it as “a sign” that I keep getting reviews to write that have to do with weight lose! I am going to make better choices and stop putting off weight lose! Baked goods are definitely my biggest weakness, I LOVE to bake and I love to get the huge french vanilla muffin when I stop for coffee with my friend every week. When I bake at home its so easy to “test one” and then “have one with my coffee” and then “have just another” ... Read more »
