Winter Day Fun

We've had lots of snow at the Kerr house this week so I have been searching for fun activities for the boys that we can do with things I already have. I really like this one I found over at TinkerLab.There is so much good in this simple activity. It is good for fine motor, color choices, and sensory. I know C is especially going to love this activity. I'm way excited because I even know where all these supplies are located at our new house.

Have a great day!

Pirate Party Printables Review

About Pirate Party: 

Kids will get a thrill from solving the treasure hunt riddles that will lead them from one location to the next until they discover the hidden treasure!! Treasure hunts are a terrific party activity for kids. They start with a riddle ( or clue) that leads to another location where they will find another riddle. For example the riddle: Red and shiny, Delicious to eat. I made Snow White, fall fast asleep This riddle would lead the children to find a red apple. Near the red apple they would find the next treasure hunt riddle. They continue solving riddles until the complete the game and discover the treasure! Get More Ideas about this Pirate Party Treasure Hunt Riddles Kit here.

My Thoughts: 

I love great party printables. They can make planning a party so much fun and these are wonderful because a treasure hunt is great for any age. Make sure you check out these and all the great party printables today!

Sunday Project: Candy Corn Corn

At the Kerr house we are always on the lookout for easy crafts that won't cost us an arm and a leg. This week I found this Candy Corn Corns over at So You Think You're Crafty. I can't wait to get mine made for our Thanksgiving decorations! My favorite thing about these is that I can use all this leftover candy corn, E says he likes it so we got some but it never got eaten. I also love that I won't feel bad throwing these away at the end of the season which will save me on storage space.

Happy Crafting!

Horizon Review & Giveaway

About Horizon: 

Horizon^® is headquartered in beautiful Broomfield County, Colorado – an area home to many progressive leaders in sustainable, responsible business. Together with our parent company, WhiteWave Foods, we make caring for our community and the environment an everyday priority.
Because we’ve got roots decades deep in organic, conducting our business with an eye to sustainability is nothing new for us. And today we’re in good company, as more and more businesses embrace the priorities we’ve always held. We’d call that a big win for everybody.

My Thoughts:

 For our family nutrition is very important and dairy is a big part of that. It was interesting when E and I met the difference in our liquid preferences. He grew up drinking soda and I grew up drinking whole milk. It was also interesting that between the four kids that grew up at E's house there were many broken bones and in our house of six kids we never had any. I do not think this is coincidence. I love all the great things Horizon has to offer and the great product they distribute.

Horizon has offered to give one Kerrific winner a mom relaxation kit to help you get the rest you need while you work hard to keep your kids healthy this school season. Please use the rafflecopter form below to enter.

Puppies vs. Babies: What do You Think?

This post brought to you by Puppies vs. Babies. All opinions are 100% mine.

I am frequently told how adorable my kids are. Moms in general seem to get this comment frequently about their babies. Who does not love a baby, or at least one that does not live at your house right? They are little and cute and make the silliest faces. Wherever you see a baby you will see grandmas pinching cheeks, aunts buying gifts, dads bragging and moms overworking themselves to keep up the appearances.

Having worked with the Humane Society for a number of years it has come to my attention that you have the same routine with new puppies. For the new pet owner having a puppy is lots of hard work while neighbors give treats, friends bring a new toy, and their spouse is busy showing off how well the puppy can sit.

Have you ever thought to consider which is cuter Puppies vs. Babies? My people today have dogs instead of children. Does this mean they believe puppies are cuter than babies? Now is your chance to vote in the Puppies vs. Babies online contest. The winner will take home $5,000 and the world will know who is cuter. Make sure you go vote today! They're all adorable, good luck choosing!

Date Night: Twister Party

I've always thought Twister made a great date night game. This week I found this awesome twist on this fun game over at you+me. I had to share today because it is fast getting to cold for this, although doing it in snow clothes might be fun too. I love that all you need is spray paint. I want to do this at a party and decorate cupcakes to put out like a twister mat for treats. You could do a dart board with balloons like a twister mat too.

What a great party!

Frozen Pipes are No Fun!

E and I were married in January and I'll never forget one of our fist big adventures as a couple. The home we were moving into was a rental that had been vacant for a while. I figured, since I had no idea who had been there last that I would give the place a good cleaning before we started moving in. When I went over to accomplish this task I realized that we had not water. After talking to the managers and verifying that they had, in fact, turned on the water, we set out to find what the problem was.

Of course, being January, the problem was a frozen pipe under the house. Once we discovered the problem we had to figure out how to fix it. By this time it was after hours on a Friday and we weren't very interested in waiting until Monday to get the problem fixed so E headed outside in his boots. What we discovered is that there was supposed to be heating tape and a heating rod along this pipe and that for some reason they had been removed and were lying in the snow instead.

We figured this would be a fairly easy fix since we could put the heat back on the pipe and eventually, hopefully sooner rather than later, the pipe would thaw. Thaw it did but that was only the beginning of our problems.

We knew the water was back as it came spraying out of the washer hookup and hit the wall with great force. Of course the knob was stuck so we were quite wet before we finally had the thing turned off. After that was done E headed outside to make sure everything looked ok under the house. That didn't go so well either. Finally, after some helpful neighbors found us a spare valve, handle, and various other parts we had functioning water.

It took us days to warm up after being soaking wet out in the snow all night. Next time I will be waiting to call the professionals!

I am participating in a blogger campaign for Bucks2Blog about frozen pipes and was compensated. However, the views and opinions are my own.

Adoptable: Sweet Jane

As we talk about adopting pets many people do not realize that there are pets of every shape, size and color who need a home. My kids were thrilled that we were able to foster some turtles similar to these for a family who had just moved to the area during their hotel stay as they searched for a home. It you want a quiet pet a turtle could be just the thing for you. Before heading to the pet store make sure you check out all the great turtles like Sweet Jane on Petfinder.

Love You More: The Divine Surprise of Adopting My Daughter by Jennifer Grant Review

About Love You More:

The obstacles, surprises, and moments of grace that Jennifer Grant experienced, working through the adoption process to bring home her daughter from Guatemala, forever changed her life.
Love You More tells Grant's deeply personal story of adopting her daughter, Mia. The process confronted her notions about what family means, pushed her into uncomfortable places, and - despite the waiting, adjustments, and challenges of a blended family - brought abiding joy.
Written for all parents but especially those interested in adoption, Love You More includes discussion questions, tips for prospective adoptive parents, and suggestions for readers on how to reach out in love and support for the world's most vulnerable people, including orphans. (Back cover).


My Thoughts:

Love You More was a very interesting story of adding a child through adoption. Although it is not what I would consider my typical pick it was a good read. The most interesting part to me was that it was written like a novel although it was very clearly more of a biography of sorts. Sometimes, at least for me, this made the story a little bit hard to follow at first but once I got into the story it wasn't as bad. Although I probably wouldn't recommend this to someone for a enjoyable reading book, I would recommend it to anyone who is considering adopting a child or anyone who wants to know more about the emotions involved in adopting. Because I have both friends who are adopted and friends who have adopted children I feel that Love You More gave me an unique insight to the process and allowed be to be a better friend to these individuals.

Wordless Wednesday: Halloween Fun

Promgirl Review

About Promgirl:

We have been selling prom dresses and formal gowns for 25 years.

Promgirl.net brings you the best prom dresses from America's top designers. You are sure to make a statement by wearing the perfect prom gown on your perfect prom night. Finding your favorite 2011 prom dress or homecoming gown is easy. Just browse through our famous Prom and homecoming gown designers: Tony Bowls Clarisse, Terani, Jovani and Scala. Our prom dresses and prom gowns are hand-made and hand-beaded individually and are shipped after one-two days of processing time.

My Thoughts:

I must say I was a little bit apprehensive about ordering a formal dress online. I always had custom made dresses thanks to a wonderful grandmother who has a great gift. When I was offered this opportunity by Promgirl I talked to my sister, who is just starting to date, and we decided we'd check it out. Auntie M chose this beautiful Clarisse Prom Dress to try.

When I first ordered the dress I was glad there wasn't a time crunch because I assumed it would take a while for the dress to arrive. To my surprise it was on my doorstep in less than a week. I was also amazed at the little box it was in. Amazingly, the dress was packed very well. There was little to no wrinkling and after hanging overnight it looks beautiful!

Auntie M has not had a chance to try it on yet, she doesn't come visit nearly often enough, but from comparing to my size it looks like it will be perfect! I know she will be thrilled as it is a beautiful, high quality formal that she, and her friends, can use for many occasions.

Although we were only able to try one formal there are so many beautiful ones to choose from. The prom dress 2012 line alone has sixty dresses, many of which could be worn for many occasions other than prom. I love this Jovani prom dress and really wish I had an occasion to wear it for, oh ya, and the body that would make it look good.

I will tell you that as much as I love this dress the one that I would probably order is this Mori lee dress. It is simple but beautiful and would help hide all my "mom curves". I love Promgirl and will be waiting for the day I have occasion to get a new beautiful dress. E has been taking a ballroom dance class this semester at school so hopefully we will have a chance to go dancing soon. It is one of my favorite things and having the right dress makes it even more fun!

All you ladies who are looking for an awesome new dress go check it out!

Butt Paste Review

We were send some awesome samples from Boudreaux to review. Although we got to try lots of items, I'm going to tell you about just a couple of our favorites today.

First is the Butt Bath. My very favorite thing about this was the smell. It made my little boys smell not quite so baby but it wasn't an adult smell either. One thing we learned quickly about this product was that a little bit goes a long way. One bottle lasted us almost 3three times as long as other brands have. The only problem we had was that it seemed to dry out the kids' skin more than usual but it was nothing a little lotion couldn't fix.

Our other favorite product was the Baby Kisses. On this one the only thing I didn't like was the smell. However it worked wonderfully! D has a bad habit of rolling off his blankets and rubbing his face on the carpet. As a result he often has rug burn on his face and the Baby Kisses worked wonderfully to help it heal. I even put some on my chapped nose during allergy season and it was wonderfully soothing and healing for my skin too.

Boudreaux has so many great products I can't tell you about all of them so go check it out!

Toddler Tuesday: Handprint Pumpkins

In keeping with the fall spirit here are some adorable pumpkins I'll me making with my kids this week. I found these over at San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools. They are a great activity for toddlers because they get to paint the circle (fine motor), use fingerprint for the leaves (sensory), and glue on the pumpkin seeds (fine motor). Besides they are an adorable decoration!

Happy Fall!

Book Review: Harvest of Grace by Cindy Woodsmall

About Harvest of Grace:

Reeling from an unexpected betrayal, can Sylvia find relief from the echoes of her past…or will they shape her future forever?
Although Sylvia Fisher recognizes that most Old Order Amish women her age spend their hours managing a household and raising babies, she has just one focus—tending and nurturing the herd on her family’s dairy farm. But when a dangerous connection with an old beau forces her to move far from home, she decides to concentrate on a new start and pour her energy into reviving another family’s debt-ridden farm.
After months in rehab, Aaron Blank returns home to sell his Daed’s failing farm and move his parents into an easier lifestyle. Two things stand in his way: the father who stubbornly refuses to recognize that Aaron has changed and the determined new farmhand his parents love like a daughter. Her influence on Aaron’s parents could ruin his plans to escape the burdens of farming and build a new life.
Can Aaron and Sylvia find common ground? Or will their unflinching efforts toward opposite goals blur the bigger picture— a path to forgiveness, glimpses of grace, and the promise of love.

My Thoughts:

We're going to change it up a little and I'm going to begin by telling you what I didn't like, it's a short list. I didn't like the fact that I had not read the first two books in this series first. Other than that, this was a book I loved! Amish have a very interesting culture to read about. I also love that this is a book I could easily hand to one of my children, provided they could read, and I would know it was appropriate for them. I remember loving this type of book as a young teenager because they were romantic but they were clean reading that I could take to school. I will be passing the book on to my sister who is currently in that stage so she can enjoy it as well. This is a book that would make a great Christmas gift!

Happy reading!

I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review

Happy Halloween!

Sunday Project: A Cute Snack

Happy Halloween!

Trick-or-Treat Hop: Eye of the Crystal Ball

About Eye of the Crystal Ball:

When Sara was newborn her parents left her at the doorstep at Mr. and Mrs. Schneider’s house. When Sara was ten she discovered she was telekinetic. She began to move stuff around when she got angry just by her will alone. When Sara was twelve her real parents came for her and took her with them to live like the Gypsy that she was – or Romani as they like to call themselves. They told her she was going to fulfill a prophesy. That it was once said that out of the Romani people the greatest sorceress who had ever lived would be born. When Sara was thirteen she had a baby brother and when she was fourteen he got very sick with a strange illness. To save her baby-brother Sara sets off on a quest to find his cure – well knowing that it will cost her dearly. Soon Sara finds herself going through the Singing Cave, crossing Wild Witches Valley, talking to a ten foot giant snail, rescuing the Beads of Souls from the Hell-hounds, escaping a spell in Vamila, the Forest of Vanity, visiting the king at the City of Lights before she finally reaches the Black Castle where she is told the Eye of the Crystal Ball can tell her how to cure her brother’s strange illness. But nothing is free in this world - and as Sara soon will know - everything has a price.

Our thoughts:

E read this book and seemed to really enjoy it.  The only think he commented on was that there were some editorial issues. Other than that he said to tell you that it's a very good book and will be enjoyed.

Watch for a great giveaway of Eye of the Crystal Ball coming tomorrow.

Trick-Or-Treat Hop: Slanket Review

About Slankets:

One subzero night in 1998 during my first semester of college I could not escape Maine's winter bite. While watching Late Night with Conan O'Brien I decided I needed to tear a hole in my sleeping bag so I could keep my upper body warm as I channel surfed during the commercial breaks. During Christmas vacation I commissioned the first Slanket to be made by my mother...and it was born.

Everyone behind The Slanket is on the same level when it comes to life. Besides creating a product to make people comfortable and warm, our life goals are not to accumulate mansions, SUV's, expensive watches and closets just for shoes. What we want in life is to travel the world and experience all its cultures while representing humanity positively. Whether surfing in Costa Rica, snowboarding in Austria, or studying language in South America and China, we love to spread our sleeves and let them flap in the wind, giving back in the process. BUT... there is nothing like coming home, wrapping up in The Slanket on your own couch and feeling the warmth of your friends and family.

Slanket Creator

My Thoughts:

I honestly do not know how I ever survived without a Slanket and I am so glad Slanket is letting me share this awesome product with all of you! Please excuse the mess in this photo, E snapped it when I wasn't quite ready, but this is how I use my Slanket on a daily basis. After the kids are in bed it is perfect to use when I'm doing homework so I don't freeze. As you can see my computer, backpack, and water mug are all nearby so once I'm warm I am ready to work. When it's not quite so cold I also like to wear the my Slanket backwards. This works great for me because it leaves the opening in the front so I can still nurse baby D.

The Slanket has washed great! I have not had any problems with staining and other than E complaining that it is hard to fold it is wondrful!

Watch tomorrow for an awesome giveaway from Slanket!

I found these adorable owls over at A Little Sussy. All you need is cupcakes, Oreos, and M&Ms. This would be such a fun treat for a school party and the best part is that it won't take you a ton of time. I think we're going to makes some and take to the neighbors for a Halloween treat!

Playful Planet Yoga DVD Review & Giveaway

About Playful Planet Yoga:

Just after the turn of this century, Karen and Bryan met, and soon realized, that in addition to sharing a passion for one another, they also shared a passion for using the power of media to bring knowledge and awareness to people’s lives. With Bryan’s 30 years of experience in both television and film, and Karen’s years of expertise in growing new businesses, they were a perfect match. The couple set out on a mission to create uplifting media that would both entertain and empower people.

Together they began developing ideas for programs, books, and films. But it was not until 2005 when a new inspiration, their daughter Lily, was born, that their focus sharpened into a single vision. Together, inspired by their desire for a better future for Lily, they made a commitment to help other families conquer the challenges of raising healthy children on a healthy planet.

The idea was planted in the summer of 2007 at a young girl’s birthday party where Karen met Ahmed Fahmy, a local kid's yoga instructor who incorporated storytelling into his classes. Other mom's at the party were intrigued, and asked if Ahmed gave classes outside the area.  He did not, and it was in that moment that the Playful Planet concept was born. Bryan and Karen began developing a series of programs and activities for families to enjoy together, beginning with Storyland Yoga, featuring Ahmed. They resolved that each of the Playful Planet programs would be unique experiences that connect the health and well-being of children with the health and well-being of the planet.

As the vision grows, so does the realization that much of what Playful Planet does is philanthropic in nature. The topics are timely, necessary and are meaningful on a global level. Playful Planet welcomes all to join their Community with the belief that together we can create a brighter future for our children and the planet.

My Thoughts:

Although Storyland Yoga is made for small children, B & C were not thrilled. I watched it with them and although they did recognize the animal names and a little about the stories, they were not at all interested in participating in the activity. The yoga itself was simple and I believe B could do it reasonably well if the DVD would keep his attention. I think for now this is not going to be a big hit with my kids but in a few years I think they will enjoy it very much.

Storyland Yoga has generously offered to to give one Kerrific reader their own copy of Storyland Yoga. Please use the Rafflecopter form below to enter.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Sunday Project: Halloween Surprise Cake

I don't know about you but I can get my boys to eat anything if I tell them it has a surprise in it they have to find. We do this with everything from yogurt covered raisins to meatloaf. They love it!

This week I found this cake that really does have a surprise inside. It looks super easy to make and it would be a big hit at any Halloween party you are throwing this week. You can check out all the details over at Created By Diane but here are the basics.

Ingredients:

• 2 white cake mixes & ingredients
• 4 colors food coloring (she uses Americolor)

Basically she divided the dough, made each part a different color, layered it in the pan and swirled it. So simple and so fun. I can't wait to surprise all the guys at my house.

Happy Baking!

How To Pack A Giraffe by April Beker - Review

About How To Pack a Giraffe:

It is exciting when the circus comes to town and the elephant's parade around so everyone will know that they have arrived. People are busy caring for the animals and setting up the circus in a new town. There is a petting zoo and animal rides, and of course the performances. It is spectacular, but soon it is time to leave and move to another town.
One little boy wonders after the circus departs one night how this all works, how they pack up and move all the animals so fast but especially, how they pack the giraffes?
It is not until the following year when the circus again comes to his town that he finds the answer to his question.

My Thoughts:

The story line of this book is good. I love that it encourages kids to ask questions and keep looking until they find an answer. I did however find two big problems, for me, in this book. First is that it is too old for my kids. They like the pictures with all the animals but the story itself is still too mature and would be better for someone in the 8-12 age range. The second is the punctuation. The use of commas is simply awful and it was very hard to read when much of the punctuation was incorrect. Great story if you can get past that though.

EdenFantasys - Halloween for Adults

I'm sure by now most of you have some idea about what you're doing for Halloween but have you thought of spending some time dressed up in the bedroom. If you haven't here are some awesome ideas from EdenFantasys. They have so many fun costumes to share I am having a hard time picking just a few. Here are some of my favorites.

This pirate is simply adorable. This set comes with everything except the shoes, and who really needs those anyway. I think I love this so much because of the hat. Such an awesome combo.

This Eskimo is also adorable! I'm all about fuzzy hoods (I must be in a hat mood today). I love this costume because it looks warm and comfortable. The brown is a great color too.

This Medical Mary Jane would also be fun. It also comes with all the pieces you need. Right now you also have the option to buy it in a kit with other sex toys and get 20% off everything in the kit. That's a great deal on some great items.

I know what you're thinking at this point, what about my man, how does he get to dress up. Well EdenFantasys has something for him too. Check out this hot Firefighter suit! I won't post it here but go check out what comes with to go underneath. I know exactly what E's getting for Christmas.

Don't see something you love? Don't be discouraged. Go check out the rest of the costumes at EdenFantasys and you're sure to find something you can't live without. Remember there is a free item with every order and always the option for free shipping.

Happy Shopping!

NanoStyle I Love You Pendant Review

About NanoStyle:

NanoStyle is a jewelry company established in 2009. They specialize in innovative jewelry that expresses the diverse cultures of the world through their art.

My Thoughts:

NanoStyle sent me a beautiful I Love You in 120 Languages Pendant to review. Although I do not wear jewelry on a regular basis, it tends to get broken with the kids, I love the simple elegance of this piece. When you first look at the pendant it looks almost like a thumbprint, it is not until closer inspection that you realize what you are truly seeing. This piece has so much meaning and would be the perfect gift for the love of your life.

NanoStyle has many different pendants and are just coming out with a new line of rings to match. Although I love the black onyx of my pendant, they do carry other stones as well for both the pendant and the ring. If you are interested in the rings make sure you sign up for the newsletter, found on the homepage, so you will be notified when they are available. While you are looking make sure you become a fan on Facebook and twitter so you can hear about all the latest styles.

Lastly, don't forget to let us know who will be getting a beautiful new piece of jewelry in their stocking this year...we won't tell.

Date Night: Seven Days of Love

When you need a simple way to tell your spouse you love one this is a perfect idea. It requires a standard 7 day pill box, small candies and the printable love notes found HERE. This is something that is perfect for any occasion but I think it would be extra special for those times when you are apart. It would work great to sneak in a suitcase or leave on the pillow. Be creative!

This great idea comes from The Dating Divas.
