My Little Pony Equestria Girls - Magical Movie Night DVD Review/ Giveaway

  Rarity just found out there is a movie music competition going on and she wants her friends from Canterlot High to enter the contest.  There's one big problem, the girls from Crystal Prep Academy are entering the contest and they have been taught how to really dance and are super good.  This makes the Equestria girls wonder if it is worth it to enter.  Fun, music and dancing from the newest release from "My Little Pony - it's the Magical Movie Night."
  A.K. Yearling invited the Equestia Girls to the set of the new movie:" Daring Do" - and Rainbow Dash is a super fan of the heroine of the movie.  The movie has to be put on hold when a rare and important prop comes up missing.
  Also, Sunset Shimmer has ran out of pages in her journal so she meets up with Starlight Glimmer and Starlight agrees to take her back to life in Canterlot High.  During her time away, Juniper Montage finds a beautiful hand mirror and she seeks revenge with the Equestrian Magic from the mirror.  This mirror can make things disappear and things can become trapped between the two realms.

Power Rangers Lost Galaxy - The Complete Series Review

  Power Rangers made it's debut in 1993, Saban’s iconic live-action pop culture series, Power Rangers quickly became the most watched children’s television program in North America. Emphasizing the importance of teamwork, responsibility and helping others by following the adventures of a group of ordinary young people who “morphed” into superheroes, this long-running series has been seen in more than 60 countries, translated into numerous languages, and remains a mainstay in children’s programming blocks. For over 20 years, the highly entertaining saga and fan favorite characters from Power Rangers have captivated children and adults alike and are beloved by legions of fans worldwide .
  I remember my son being the hugest Power Ranger collector.  His friends and himself would play for hours imitating the shows they saw on T.V. and even making up their own shows.  The Power Rangers were always helping the good people and getting rid of the bad guys.  This show taught children to stand up for themselves and  to help others in need.

Me4Kidz MediBuddy Kit Review

   Me4Kidz is a great company that definitely believes in our children and in giving others less fortunate a chance.  Since 2004, Me4Kidz has been working with disabled people to keep them working and they also have kept their products here in America.  By doing this, many people that work for Me4Kidz would not have the opportunity to learn to work and what it's like to make their own money.  We, as Americans, need to keep our jobs here in American to keep our people working.  Thanks to Me4Kidz for doing both of these wonderful deeds.

  The products Me4Kidz makes are wonderful!  I was graciously allowed to review their Medibuddy.  A Medibuddy is a plastic container that holds first aid supplies.  Inside this container is:

 (15) 3/4” X 3” assorted kid-friendly bandages
(1)   3” knee & elbow bandage
(5)   5” X 8” antiseptic wipes (sting free)
(4)   2” X 2” Gauze Pads (2-Two Packs)
(2)   Antibiotic Ointments
(12) Kid-Friendly Fun Stickers
(1)   Carry Anywhere Case.

DollyLizzy Review/Giveaway Closed!

DollyLizzy Review/Giveaway Closed!

Welcome to the doll shop!

 DollyLizzy been making doll clothes for a number of years for her daughters' dolls.  After having quite a number of requests for different outfits from their friends she decided to start my own website to sell them.  DollyLizzy offers a variety of clothing for a variety of dolls.

  Everything you see is handmade with the exception of the vinyl dolls. She does 18 inch doll clothing, cabbage patch, reborn, barbie doll, and coming soon the Corner Dolls.

I reviewed the Dolly in the above picture.  She is really cute and it takes me back to the 80's when Cabbage Patch dolls were the "in" thing.  I remember having to search everywhere to get my hands on one for my oldest daughters Christmas present.  Well, now DollyLizzy can make one for you that looks just like the original-without the trademark of course.  If you purchase a doll from DollyLizzy she will also make you clothes to match.  Just let her know what you'd like.

DollyLizzy also makes doll carriers,blankets,bibs and quilts.

The twin baby dolls are adorable!

I also love the little newborn babies.  So cute with their bonnets and gowns.

DollyLizzy is a great shop on Etsy. This shop opened on July 26,2010. Currently DollyLizzy has 58 items on hand for sale and she has had 100% feedback on her sales.

I really like my cute little baby doll. The only thing I would change is the clothing she has on.  The suit is too small for the hood to fit on the babys head.  My grandaughter really wanted it to fit and has tried to make it work. :)

Other than the suit being to small I would recommend DollyLizzy to anyone who loves baby dolls or has someone to give it to that loves them also.

This Bumble Bee is the cutest thing.  Made from the highest quality , super soft chenille.  It is so soft you will think you are hugging a real fur coat.

Plus, the colors are so bright and the smile is so darling.  These pillows can go anywhere your child goes---in the car,at naptime, to grandma's ect...  All Pillow Pets have a really durable strap underneath to close up from a pillow to become the cute pet.
