Build- A Bear Workshop offers a unique experience, from picking the shell to making the  stuffed toy adding extras  like a voice box or an adorable outfit to finish the look. I can even vouch for the quality of the Build- A Bears. My husband made me a bear when we were dating that I Still have 10 years later, and in the paw it has a voice box that still works.  


 My kids have tons of Build A Bears that they have gotten to make themselves.  The fact that even if you don't have a lot of money you can have a Build- A Bear Workshop experience.

We received the Cow and my son loves it, he's started carrying it around the house and even sleeping with it. It's very soft and comfy but I love the fact if we want we can go buy him clothes at out local Build- A -Bear Workshop we can do that do to.

Just for Men Auto Stop Review




We all know as men age, grey hair is a factor that can come into play. My husband is in his early 30's but has started going grey, not completely but enough to make him look older.  So when I was offered the chance to review Just for Men Auto Stop I had to try it. We are going on Vacation and it's nice that  he'll look his age again. 


It's super easy to apply, all you have to do is

Step 1:
put the brush top on the color tube

Step 2:
 squeeze a little of the color through the holes on the applicator brush.

Step 3:

Brush color through hair. Wait at least 10 minutes and rinse.

My husband used the dark Brown and it  looks great. It's a perfect match to his hair color. It did take washing his hair twice to get all the dye but it looks well worth it. If you want a change weather it be for a little grey or a lot of grey give Just For Men Auto Stop today.

Buy it:
Just For Men Auto Stop is available at most national retailers.

But when a mean Witch, played by Wanda Sykes, turns Bubble Puppy into a frog, Molly and Gil enlist the help of some famous fairytale friends to undo her mean green spell.  They better work fast or else no one in the Enchanted Forest will live happily ever after!

Bubble Puppy
Gil wants to adopt a puppy after seeing one he really likes at the adoption center, but the Bubble Guppies have to learn how to take care of a pet before he can bring it home.

Bubble Bites
Ms. Pinkytoe, a friendly crab, gives Gil a few Bubble Bites to feed to Bubble Puppy.  Bubble Puppy wants more food so the guppies head to the supermarket.  They discover there is one box of Bubble Bites left and both Gil and Ms. Pinkytoe want it, so they must compete in a Bubble Bites biathlon. Will Gil get more Bubble Bites to feed Bubble Puppy? Or will Ms. Pinkytoe get them for her dog, Bud?


My kids love Bubble Guppies, and since it's one of Nick Jr's new preschool shows I can feel good about it;. My son has asked to watch the "witch episode" of bubble guppies every day.  He's talking about the bubble puppies fin-tastic fairy tale, it's an exiting enough episode to keep even my 8 year old entertained for a little while.I am so thankful they have not put this great show on dvd so it can be watched anywhere including on my computer. It will be a life saver while were on our family vacation coming up so soon. I like it because the songs they sing are adorable and they don't drive me crazy when the kids sing them for days. They are so cute , check them out for yourself.
