Pringles Multigrain Blog Tour

When I think Pringles, my thoughts automatically go to the green can. Maybe I shouldn't admit it, but I've been known to devour half a can of Sour Cream and Onion Pringles in one sitting. Delicious.

However, I recently heard that Pringles released a multigrain chip. Pringles Multigrains are offered in three flavors: Truly Original, Cheesy Cheddar, and Creamy Ranch. The Original are definitely my favorite, but I'm guessing my hubby would say the Cheesy Cheddar are his. He took the can with him to work one night, and I never saw them again.Pringles has also created the "U Taste. We Donate." program. Teamed up with celebrity chef, Tyler Florence, and Share Our Strength, Pringles Multigrain is looking to make a difference. For every UPC entered on their site, Pringles Multigrain will make a $1 donation to the Share Our Strength No Kid Hungry campaign.

I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Pringles Multigrain and received a tote bag with samples to facilitate my candid review. Mom Central also sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.

Noonbory & the Super 7: DVD Review

Saturday morning cartoons are big in our house. We love curling up on the couch, plates of pancakes on our laps, to watch a few cartoons before Saturday soccer games.

Recently, Little Man caught an episode of Noonbory & the Super 7 on the CBS Saturday morning cartoon block. He was almost instantly hooked. I'm not sure what it is, the characters, the plot, or the animation, but something made him fall in love with the show.
Lucky for us, Noonbury & the Super 7: They're Sense-ational! was recently released on DVD. The 60 minute DVD contains 4 episodes: Luky's Bubble Trouble, A Honey of a Tale, Problem Peach, and A Rosy Day.
It seems that in Toobalooba, home of Noonbury and his team, a problem is always brewing. However, no issue is too big for the superhero borys. Each bory has a different super sense, and they have to work together to resolve the obstacles they face.

The DVD is not only entertaining, but also educational. Kids learn about cooperation, sharing, problem solving, and patience. A Rosy Day, Little Man's favorite episode, explores the importance of finishing work before play, as well as the importance of being considerate.

Noonbury & the Super 7: They're Sense-ational! is available now from NCircle Entertainment, Amazon, or Toys R Us. It retails for $6.99.

I received a copy of the DVD for review. All opinions are my own.

Lately

Lately, I have been saying yes to extra chapters at bedtime. The Bailey School Kids, Magic Tree House, and the Littles have been filling our evenings. And even though Little Man has been going to bed a little late, he's usually happy about it.

Lately, I've been teaching five year olds how to play soccer. Even though I feel like they're going to eat me alive at times, I'm so proud when one of them scores a goal or shows what a good sport they are.

Lately, I've been allowing play dates on Monday afternoons. Play dates filled with balloon games, bowls of strawberries, and lots of giggles.
(The joys of static)

Lately, I've been focused on happiness. When I think about it, there are so many more smiles and laughs then I've ever noticed before.
