Kidz Bop 29 Review

by | , | 0 Comments

We've been listening to Kidz Bop 29 for the past month and it has some great songs on it.  We are huge Kidz Bop fans and their latest CD didn't disappoint the girls and I.  I love how the music is all of the top songs on the radio but in a cleaned up version so my girls can listen to it.  They love music but I really don't want to explain things to them any sooner than I have to.  But not with Kidz Bop.  The music is fun and clean! Kidz  Bop 29 has a great line up of songs.....   All of these songs have my girls up and dancing around at home and in their seats in the car.  I love that they keep moving and have fun at the same time.  Look for it in stores now or download it from...

Corner Bakery Cafe has more than just Baked Goods & a Giveaway

by | | 2 Comments

  My girls love to go out for lunch.  And they love trying new places.  During the last school year, our school held a fundraiser at the local Corner Bakery Cafe in Warwick Rhode Island.  We weren't sure what to expect on the menu for dinner but when I looked it up online, I saw they actually had a good variety of foods for anytime of the day.  Needless to say, my daughter's fell in love with it and have asked many times afterwards to visit again. So when Corner Bakery Cafe invited me to visit their newest store in Middletown Rhode Island, my oldest asked me if she could come with me.

Strawberry Punch Bowl Drink Recipe

Strawberry Punch Bowl Drink Recipe

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #FireUpTheGrill #CollectiveBias When I was a kid, a staple at every single party my mother threw was a punch bowl. I always looked forward to it. I loved the idea of adding to my drink to make it more fun. Recently it dawned on me that I have not seen a punch bowl at a party since I was a kid. I'm sure people still make them, but no one I know. So it gave me an idea, the kids are always looking for something fun when it comes to drinks, plus I try really hard to get 5 fruits and veggies into their day. So why not make a punch bowl drink in their individual glasses. Eating the fruit at...
