Do you have a little one who loves dancing or dressing up like a ballerina? Do you love dance and want your little one to learn to love it, too? Do you love the magic and wonder of the holiday season? Then I have the perfect product for you! Prima Princessa is announcing the release of it's newest ballet DVD titled Prima Princessa presents The Nutcracker.
This DVD will bring all the magic of the holiday season right into your own home. The animated Prima Princessa will take you on "a magical journey to the land of the Sugar Plum Fairy." The DVD features the world famous San Francisco Ballet. Watch as the animated Prima Princessa narrates the story as the ballet unfolds on the screen. The story is broken into parts and after each part, Prima Princessa introduces young dancers to a ballet move taught by students at the School of American Ballet at Lincoln Center. The audience watching Prima Princessa is given the opportunity to practice the move with other young children on the DVD. This provides a simple introduction to ballet and tells the story in a way that even the youngest children can understand.
The Nutcracker is my favorite ballet. I've seen it several times since I was 11. I love the magical feeling I get watching the dancers dance through the snow and listening to the beautiful music of Tchaikovsky. I'm excited to be able to share my love of the Nutcracker with my daughter. This DVD provides the story of the Nutcracker in a fun way to spark the imagination of your child and bring out the little child in us all. I watched this DVD with my 22 month old daughter. She enjoyed watching the dancers and twirled along with them. I know we will enjoy PrimaPrincessa presents The Nutcracker for many years to come.
Prima Princessa was created by two stay at home moms, Mary Kate Mellow and Stephanie Troeller. They were both looking for good ballet DVD's for their daughters. Their first DVD Prima Princessa presents Swan Lake was released in 2008 and more Prima Princessa dance DVD's are planned for the future. To read my other review on Prima Princessa presents Swan Lake, click here.
Prima Princessa presents The Nutcracker would make a perfect holiday gift for your little ballerina in the making. Prima Princessa presents The Nutcracker retails for $12.99 and is available at Amazon.

What a great giveaway! I would love to win this for Maxx, he loves to be read to, and if its sports that is even better! It bet it would be one of those books where he would want his dad to read it over and and over again. lol Thanks!

Important events in sports history.
I recently had the pleasure of reviewing the 2 current books available by the Daddy's Heroes, authors, Tom Garcia & Karun Naga.
Mr. Garcia started writing the Daddy's Heroes books after he wanted to tell his son a bedtime story. However, the large pile of children's books were always lacking something. Mr. Garcia wanted to tell his son a story full of excitement. He then proceeded to tell his son the story of the 1980 Philadelphia Phillies Championship win. This bedtime story was the beginning of Daddy's Heroes.
Daddy's Heroes books give a factual account of sports, while also making it easy and fun for children to understand. I enjoyed listening to my husband read The ’86 Mets,
Buckner & The Bambino to my two boys, ages 6 and 2. Each of the boys enjoyed listening to the books, my 6 year old asked questions about the game and "the characters" in the book, while my 2 year old enjoyed the bright and vivid illustrations of "baseball". My husband enjoyed reading one of The Mets' best games, as he was very into the Mets and baseball in 1986. All 3 of my "boys" connected with the book. It is a wonderful thing when children and adults can enjoy a baseball event that can span the generations.

The weather is starting to change and I'm looking forward to the yummy possibilities that fall has to offer. This is a simple recipe based on a 30 minute meal of Rachael Ray's. I've got some Italian in my blood, so anything with a red sauce and pasta is comforting!
Easy Crock Pot Chicken Cacciatore
Ingredients
1lb boneless, skinless chicken (breasts, thighs or a combo)
1 pkg cremini mushrooms, quartered
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2C beef broth or stock
28oz can crushed tomatoes
1/2tsp crushed red pepper flakes
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Mix all ingredients in the crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Serve with your favorite pasta and top with grated parmesan.
Simple, easy and delicious!! Enjoy!
Dejaroom is all about personalization! Betty (Owner and Artist) takes something ordinary and simple and adds her artistic touch to make it unique, personalized and fabulous! What kinds of things you might ask? Well...there's wine glasses, platters, tiles, signs, hair bow holders, and trivets. Betty can personalize your items with a name, initial, quote and a design (I personally love the polka dots).
I received a Cool Collegiate Platter for Dejaroom's review. What better way to kick off the football season? Perfect as a hostess gift or for your snack table! Each square platter measures 10.5 x 10.5 inch and retails for $35.00. Hand washing is recommended with the platters and they are meant to be used as a serving tray only, not for baking on. You can personalize your platter with your name and then let Betty know your favorite teams colors. Easy!
I chose black and gold for the Steelers (hubby is a huge fan) and then the platter was personalized with our last name. As you can see the platter arrived sweetly wrapped in cellophane with zebra tissue and a zebra bow.
Check out the black and gold polka dots...now the men can't complain it's too girly because it does have their teams colors right?
To place your order with Dejaroom, simply email Betty and let her know what you'd like. Paypal is accepted.

I love the amour toujours - love always notecards.
Bleu Soleil Design is a sweet design shop full of invitation and paper goodies. I had a lovely time perusing the many unique designs. Jackie Donahue, is the graphic designer behind Bleu Soleil. Jackie has combined her love for Paris with her design to create charming note cards and invitations.
Jackie created a note card set for her product review with Mammalicious Finds. As you can see from the images, the packaging is exquisite. The note cards were nestled inside of a cellophane envelope for safe travels and tied with a pink bow. Once outside of the envelope the cards were gathered together by a printed kraft paper scalloped label.
I sent Jackie our Mammalicious Finds logo via email and she created a custom set. The background is printed with pink/black stripes and embellished with the logo. The logo has a touch of glitter added to the stroller for a bit of pop. The envelopes also had the logo printed in the corner. I have to admit I was a little giddy when I opened the card set. I'm a sucker for cute packaging and the cards are so chic! The note cards measure 5.25 x 4.25 inches and included eight cards/envelopes.Bleu Soleil Design...Mamma Tested, Mamma Approved!

I love the Little Turtle painting!

Noa Design features original paintings by Noa Poran. Noa was born and raised in Israel but now lives in sunny California doing what she loves, painting! Noa's paintings are whimsical and perfect for any little boy or girls room. Choose from animals, fairies, transportation or space. The wall hooks are fun and practical, you might get your little one to actually hang up their coat if they were hanging it on a flower or truck! You will also find unique personalized kids name letters. They are created with cold clay, painted with acrylic paints, and covered with silk varnish for protection. One of kind!

I had the opportunity to review one of Noa's original "Lion" paintings. Isn't his face great? I have to say I enjoy the bright look of the painting. So many times you can find nothing but pastels when shopping for room decor, bright and bold colors are nice change. The little Lion is painted on a 8x8 wrapped canvas and ready to hang. How cute would a couple of these animal paintings look hanging right next to each other? Fabulous!

What wonderful items - my friends mother is undergoing chemo right now and this would be a gift for her.
struggle she realized there wasn't comfortable clothing for women to wear during and after treatment. After months of research Confident Clothing Company was created.Confident Clothing Company offers a Cool Chemo Top, Pants, Capris and Caps and gift certificates. Each clothing item was invented with care and precision. The wicking fabric not only helps regulate your body temperature it is also soft on sensitive skin after surgery.
The Cool Chemo Top features built in removable pockets for holding drains that patients must wear after a mastectomy or lumpectomy. The top also features front closures, is loose fitting and draws the eye away from the chest. Choose from black, celery, slate blue, black/pink or navy/white. The Cool Chemo Top retails for $89.95.
The Cool Chemo Capris and Pants are flattering and the pull on style makes them easy to put on and remove. They come in two colors navy and black. The Cool Chemo Pants & Capris retail for $49.95.The Cool Chemo Cap is made with same wonderful wicking material and one size fits all. The versatile mix and match caps were designed to be a solution to the uncomfortable condition of head perspiration during and after treatment and loss of hair.

Some insurance companies will authorize the purchase of two therapeutic garments per year so be sure to check with your company as your Confident Clothing Company clothing might be covered.
I remember speaking with my aunt (a breast cancer survivor) and one of her issues was finding appropriate clothing that fastened in the front and wasn't a hassle to get in and out of. Confident Clothing Company is a one of kind company that is helping alleviate this issue. Who wants to struggle with their clothing? This clothing was designed with comfort and ease in mind and is easily mixed and matched.
