As the Super Bowl approaches, Snoopy Charlie Brown and the rest of the Peanuts Gang are getting people excited about football with the release of Peanuts Deluxe Edition: Touchdown Charlie Brown! Our family enjoys football, and the kids were tickled to learn we were going to have the opportunity to review a copy of this DVD!


Available from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment this month, this football-inspired title is comprises of the re-mastered, animated TV special, It's Your FIrst Kiss, Charlie Brown, in which the Peanuts gang celebrate homecoming, plus THREE football-themed episodes of The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show. 

When our special edition dvd arrived, we were all excited to sit down and watch it! It's Your First Kiss, Charlie Brown is about homecoming season and Charlie Brown's school. The kids celebrate with a parade, a dance and of course, football! The big game, which is refereed by Snoopy, draws many spectators. Charlie Brown is the team's placekicker and Lucy is the placekick setter. The pressure to win is on but can Lucy control her urge to pull the ball away just as Charlie Brown is about to kick it? I won't give it away, you'll have to watch to find out! :)

Linus and Charlie Brown are also chosen as escorts for the homecoming queen and her court. Charlie Brown is asked to escort the queen, which happens to be a little girl Charlie Brown has been pining for his whole life! He escorts her to the dance floor and kisses her on the cheek. It is an electrifying experience and one that leaves him in a complete blur. It's a very cute episode and one our whole family really enjoyed. 

The Peanuts Deluxe Edition: Touchdown Charlie Brown also features three delightful, football inspired episodes from The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show for nearly TWO HOURS of Peanuts and football fun! 

With the Super Bowl around the corner, this is a fun collection of episodes our family has really enjoyed. It's one we'll watch over and over again, especially this time of year! If you're looking for some Charlie Brown fun, I would recommend checking it out for yourself!

Buy It: The Peanuts Deluxe Edition: Touchdown Charlie Brown! is available on Amazon right now for just $14.96! 






I don't know about you, but I usually feel a little anxious when January rolls around. I start hearing and reading about the resolutions people have for the new year, all while I'm still working on the big goals and resolutions I made last year! 

Some resolutions are just hard to stay 100% committed to. But, instead of beating myself up, I've decided to keep my resolutions more realistic this year...being more active with the kids and unplugging from my computer/phone more are just a couple of them. 

Joovy also has a great list of 'no fail' resolutions that are easy to inject into our daily routine! They are smaller, more realistic daily resolutions that are easy to accomplish and set you up for success. YAY! You can check them out on the Joovy blog, here. 


To celebrate the New Year and these 2014 Joovy ResolutionsX2, Joovy has a great giveaway going that I'm so happy to be a part of! 

WIN IT: One very lucky person will win $600 to spend on Joovy.com!

When my kids were babies, I remember being concerned about Flat Head Syndrome and trying to do what I could to prevent it. Every baby is at risk of developing Flat Head Syndrome, with one out of two babies diagnosed with the syndrome. I new it was fairly common, but didn't realize it was that common! Knowing this statistic, I was glad to learn more about Tortle.


Through availability at Target.com, Tortle has the opportunity to further increase awareness of Flat Head Syndrome and the ease in which it can be prevented or treated. 

Flat Head Syndrome is caused due to the lack of movement and the amount of time infants spend on their back (the safest place for them to be). If left untreated, there can be some long-standing problems. Treatment is usually expensive and can be somewhat uncomfortable for a baby. That's why it's important to know that Plagiocephaly and Torticollis are almost 100% preventable with repositioning and Tortle makes this safe and easy! In fact, it is recommended that all newborns wear a Tortle for the first 6 months of life to support healthy development.

Tortle is a lightweight knit beanie that helps prevent and treat Flathead Syndrome and is now available on Target.com. In learning more about the Tortle, I found that it was developed by Dr. Jane Scott, a Board Certified Pediatrician and Neonatologist. The Tortle beanie is an FDA-cleared patented Class 1 medical device that promotes proper head and neck movement which is essential for appropriate development. 



Tortle helps prevent and treat early stages of flat head syndrome: plagicephaly (the flattening of the baby's skull) and torticollis (unbalanced neck muscles). It works by gently deflecting a baby's head from side to side when they are sitting or lying on the back of their head. 

As a mom who also has many mom friends and family members with babies, I loved learning more about the Tortle! With the incidence of Plagiocephaly and Torticollis increasing to epidemic proportions since 1992 with more than a million babies being diagnosed with the condition each year in the US alone, it's an important topic and one I'm glad is being given more attention.

Dr Jane's mission is to prevent Flathead syndrome and bring awareness to it. I am thankful to have learned more about it, and Tortle and am thrilled that I've been given the chance to share about it with you as well.

You can learn more at Tortle.com as well as by watching this Tortle video. 

Buy It: You can purchase at Target.com or BuyBuyBaby.com! You'll find there are three Tortle designs available: Blue Elephant, Pink Flowers and Solid White. The Tortle beanies are available in medium and large sizes at a suggested retail price of $19.99.

You can also connect with Tortle and Dr. Scott on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

WIN IT: One lucky reader is going to win a Tortle of their own. (open to US and Canada) It's great if you have a baby or are expecting, or know someone who is! Perfect baby gift idea!

All through high school and college, my hubby was an athlete. He still enjoys playing sports and of course, watching them too! He enjoys wearing clothing that supports his favorite teams, as well as dressing the kids in team apparel as well. That's why I was excited when introduced to BabyFans.com!


Baby Fans is an online store dedicated to providing the best licensed team baby clothing and infant products available! They are a one-stop-shop for your favorite teams in the NFL, NBA, MLB and NCAA. 

In browsing the Baby Fans website for the first time, I was impressed with the large selection of team clothing offered for little ones. With sizes ranging from newborn to 4T they're the perfect place to find apparel for both my boys. 

When asked if I'd like to review something, I couldn't have been happier. My hubby's favorite team is the Minnesota Vikings, so I decided to go that route and received the adorable Vikings Kids Sweatsuit to review!

When the outfit arrived, I couldn't wait to check it out. I was immediately impressed with the quality. It's top-notch and something I can tell will hold up well to a lot of wear. YAY!

I also love the fabrics and the fact that this is a Vikings outfit not found just anywhere. It's more unique than some of the other sweatsuits I've seen in stores and absolutely adorable for any little one. 

Putting it on Caysen, I found that it fit him perfectly. The sizing seems true to size, and it's very cute on! It seems comfortable for him to run around and play in as well as warm which is nice this time of year. 

Of course, the best part about the outfit though, is that it helps Caysen support Daddy's team! :) I like that the Minnesota Vikings name is front and center on the shirt, as well as the logo on the pants too.

I really love this outfit on Caysen. He's worn it several times since we received it and when we're out and about, always receives compliments. I will definitely be looking to Baby Fans again in the future...their selection of team apparel for kids is fantastic!

If you're looking for cute licensed team baby clothing, I would recommend checking out BabyFans.com! 

Buy It: You can purchase the Vikings Kids Sweatsuit for $29.95.

Win It: One very lucky reader is going to WIN a $25 Gift Card to BabyFans.com!
