Learn, Create, and Share Party!

LeapFrog Educational ToysWe Hosted a LeapFrog Party!

When you think of toys for kids that are both educational and super fun, one of the first names that comes to just about everyone’s mind is LeapFrog, right? LeapFrog makes some of the highest quality electronic toys for kids, is always innovative with new games, app’s, and products, and always finds that perfect combination of learning and entertainment. Love LeapFrog products.

Learn, Create, and Share Party!

As  a member of MomSelect, I got the super-duper amazing opportunity to try out a bunch of great new products from LeapFrog – and share them with some of my other favorite families! Abby has the LeapFrog My Pal Violet, the super cute plush dog that sings songs and plays games, and it’s one of her favorites. The boys have played with the LeapFrog Leapster Explorer before, but had never gotten to use a LeapPad – and myohmy, were they over-the-top excited to check it out!! It was definitely the most popular toy with the older boys, and they had a blast recording videos on it – and of course the videos were all just ridiculous little boy stuff, like weird dancing, wrestling matches, and gross faces. Sheesh.

Our Party

We were so, so, SO excited to open up the big box of LeapFrog products when they arrived on our front porch. And we were NOT disappointed! Check out all of the amazingly fun – and incredibly educational! – products that were in the huge package we received from LeapFrog for our party, and learn more about them. I had a really wide range of ages of kids for this party – the youngest was 15 months, and the oldest was 9, and every single one of them had fun with these toys! They all seem super durable, they are all the kind of toy that you feel good about kids playing with, and they all brought out a ton of smiles from the kids. What more can you ask for in a toy, right??

What we loved:

  • LeapFrog LeapPad Explorer Learning Tablet – This is recommended for ages 4-9, but even Abby loves it. We like to use it at bedtime, so we can turn out the lights, snuggle up in some blankets, and check out her favorite ebooks. She just adores it. And like I mentioned, this bad boy has a built-in digital camera, video camera, and touchscreen. This post isn’t even long enough to explain to you how cool this thing is – I was seriously blown away.
  • LeapFrog TAG Reading System – I’ve been wanting to get one of these for the kids since last Christmas – and I was delighted to see that it totally exceeded my expectations! This is also recommended for ages 4-8. All of the kids thought that this was really cool – our little Kindergartner guy gets totally involved with it. He’s learning to read, and this gives him a ton of confidence! You can change the settings to either sound out the letters, or read the words – he loves trying to read it himself, and using the reader to see if he got it right. My older little guy is 8, and is a pretty advanced reader, so this didn’t hold his attention as much. But for any kiddo who’s in the beginning to mid stages of learning to read, this is amazing.
  • LeapFrog Tag World Map – This is my favorite! I think that this is just so cool… The kids use the Tag reader to discover the world and bring it to life. There are SO many different levels of play and learning with this – Abby love, love, LOVES looking for the animals to touch with the reader, so she can hear the sounds they make. She giggles and claps at the tiger and jaguar – so great to watch. The kids can learn the names of the countries, find kids in the other lands to tell them info like how to say Hello, learn about foods, music, and so much more. All of the kids were completely intrigued by this. It doesn’t come with a reader – you have to get that separately. But it is an amazing addition if you have the Tag reader already!

What do you think?

What is your families favorite LeapFrog product? Are you planning any LeapFrog purchases for the holidays? If so, make sure to sign up to get their email updates – LeapFrog.com – so you can get sales info and great coupons. Right now they’ve got an awesome special deal – Free Shipping on all orders over $60 bucks! Leave me some comments with your feedback on other LeapFrog toys – I’d love to get some additional books and games for the kids this Christmas, and want to hear your suggestions!

{How to} Become a Super Mom on Wheels

Heelys Shoes

Are you a Busy Mom?

“Busy Mom” – isn’t that pretty redundant? I mean seriously, is there any other kind of mom? Are there moms out there who aren’t busy? Are there really moms out there who complete full to-do lists each day, who’s kids always wear clean, matching socks, who have never fed their children Ramen Noodles for dinner?{If you’re a totally un-busy mom, please – and I mean PLEASE! – share your tips with the rest of us. The comment section welcomes your words of wisdom. Seriously.} Ahem, back to the rest of us…. Get prepared for an amazing solution that will help you complete twice the work in half the time. Ready? Keep reading…

Busy Mom Solution!

Ok, this may not be a solution for everyone. Or for every day. And probably not everywhere. But – how about getting a pair of Heelys? I know what you’re thinking – “Are Heelys those shoes I see the kids at the mall zooming around on? Are those the shoes my kids have been just begging for, because all the “cool” kids have them? Are you kidding me?” – Yes, yes, and not at all. Heelys + You = Super Mom on Wheels. Yep. Don’t call me crazy – keep reading!

How Heelys can help you be more productive:

  • Late getting the kids ready in the morning? No problem! You’ve got your Heelys on – skate through the house, swoop through the kitchen grabbing backpacks and lunch bags as you gracefully zoom back to the front door and kiss them goodbye as they head to the bus stop. Done.
  • Need groceries? With your Heelys, you can skate through the store so fast, you’ll feel like you’re on Supermarket Sweep! {Don’t make me feel old – someone else remembers this right? “Hey, the next time you’re at the checkout counter and you hear the beep, think of all the fun you can have on, Supermarket Sweep!”} Those people looking at you weird while you roll at top speed through the grocery store? Jealous. Done.
  • It’s dinner time, the babies crying in the living room, the timer on the oven is going off, laundry needs to go into the dryer, the table needs to be set – you know, the regular daily tasks of us Super Moms. This USED to stress you out. Not anymore. Now you’re a Super Mom on WHEELS. One quick swoop through the house with your shoes of speed – Done!

Ready to learn more?

Of course you are! You’re so ready to buy these – you’ve got a credit card in hand, reading this post on your smartphone as you run to the car {you have to run, you don’t have wheels yet} eagerly waiting for me to tell you where to drive to and buy 2 pairs of these amazing Busy Mom Solution shoes. Then, you stop in amazement, as I tell you that you can buy these right from HOME. Yes, it’s true. You can purchase Heelys from their website, from Amazon, or other major retailers. These Heelys folks, they’re pretty amazing.

Super Sweet Deal on Heelys

Heelys is throwing a Black Friday special!! Between Nov 25-Nov 28, Buy any pair of Heelys, get the second pair for $25. Or buy a Nano, and get a pair of shoes for $25, and get free ground shipping on all orders!

Wanna Race?

You know I’m always here to share my favorite Busy Mom Solutions with you guys – and clearly, this is a perfect way to be transformed from a regular, super-busy, Super Mom – to an incredibly awesome Super Mom on Wheels! Use this power wisely, and obey those signs that say “No skating inside the store.” Using the all purpose explanation, “Because I’m the mommy – THAT’S why,” may not go over well with mall security. And don’t forget to read their other safety tips too – Heelys Safety Playbook. And if I see you zooming through your grocery shopping in half the time, just like me, I’m going to challenge you to a race in the frozen foods aisle. Just sayin’.

Connect with Heelys:

{Disclaimer: Those amazing folks at Heelys gave me this sweet pair of Heelys to try out, so that I could share my real-life, totally honest, experience. And I love being a Super Mom on Wheels now. You will too. Get ’em. I’ll race you.}
