I have partnered with VTech for this feature

When you hear the word ‘music’ you probably think about tunes or your favorite radio station. But, did you know that the word music has such a beneficial meaning when you introduce it to children? Not only does music introduce a new skill that involves the brain and body working together, it ignites all the senses. VTech has the Kidi Star Karaoke Machine that helps bring music class home.

Music helps children learn sounds and word meanings. Dancing helps children improve their motor skills as well as allow for self-expression. Then you also add the benefit of recall and memory skills.

One of the best features of this karaoke machine is the stand opinion. This makes it so easy to share the fun with a friend or sibling. The disco ball is a lot of fun too. Turn off the lights and like me, you will be amazed how well it illuminates around the room on the walls and even the ceiling too.

It is such an easy interface that it is usable for as young as 4 years old. The added computer-like screen adds an element of STEM play when you have to configure and toggle through options to bring our musical creation to life. With options like games to play and to connect to any device to bring the music library you already have created to the speaker is so much fun.

You can add audience sounds like applause, cheering and laughter so it really feels like you’re onstage at a concert! Record yourself for up to five minutes and add fun voice-changing effects, then listen to and enjoy your performance. Visit VTech for more fun and also find the VTech Kidi Star Karaoke Machine at Amazon.

Slammers Super Food Snacks are a delicious instant organic fuel for active kids

August 9, 2018August 5, 2018 Erin Sluka

Fruit and protein in a pouch just grew up! There comes a time when you child actually does NOT want that pouch they loved as a toddler in their lunchbox. They are around friends at a lunch table and associate the fruit pouch with being from the diaper bag. That is until they try the Slammers!

They have really gone far out and made these pouches for the older child to want for lunches and snacks after practice. I eat them! Seriously! They are delicious!

Slammers Snacks can be purchased nationwide at Target, Safeway, Kroger, Costco and Walmart:

Watermelon Kiwi Burst (7 grams of protein per pouch) – strawberry, kiwi, watermelon, apple, banana & beet
Pomegranate Grape Crush (7 grams of protein per pouch) – grape, pomegranate, coconut, apple, banana & purple carrot
EPIC – mangoes, bananas, oranges, carrots, Greek yogurt & real vanilla
AWESOME – bananas, blueberries, strawberries, beets, acai, amaranth (a highly nutritious gluten-free grain)
CHILL’N – bananas, blueberries, butternut squash, Greek yogurt & yumberry

If you buy one this the next time you are shopping, pick up a box of the Watermelon Kiwi burst and try one when you get home. You’ll thank me later!

There are no artificial colors or flavors, no peanuts or gluten and NON GMO as well as USDA organic.

Welcome to the mifold Grab-and-Go Car Booster Seat Giveaway

What is the mifold Grab-and-Go Car Booster Seat?

The mifold car booster seat is the smallest, safe car booster seat that fits children 4-12 years old and is small enough to fit in your diaper bag, backpack or glove box. It makes fitting 3 safe seats in a row much easier and comes in multiple colors.

Setting the mifold up is very easy and has 3 width settings. It is comfortable with foam padding technology for extra comfort that stays cool, even on hot days. You’ll love the materials they use also, strong metal chassis of 6061 aircraft grade aluminum (as strong as steel) and Dupont™ Delrin® 100ST a super tough plastic polymer for superior impact resistance.

Buy the mifold Grab-and-Go Car Booster Seat

Available at mifold.com, Amazon and other retailers.

Wait…..Guess what’s new?

Have you heard that mifold has a new product called the hifold Grab-and-Go Highback Car Booster? It also folds down small enough to fit in a carry bag. It is just as safe and the height, lap, shoulder width and head rest can easily be adjusted as your child grows.

The hifold will be great for ride shares and carpools just like the mifold. This small, easy-to-carry design makes switching the car seat back and forth between vehicles so quick and easy.

I love that you can get carry bags for the mifold and hifold so if you need to head out of town, carrying the booster seats will be so easy!

Japan’s number 1 kid shoe brand – Syunsoku Review

July 31, 2018July 29, 2018 Erin Sluka

I have partnered with Achilles for this feature

Syunsoku has grown to become the number one kids shoes in Japan since it came about in 2003. What makes this shoe a hit is in the way the soles are made that enable wearers to run with all their strength by keeping their footing when cornering counterclockwise. It is a brand of Achilles and Syunsoku’s proprietary “Sokuiku (foot growth)” design helps children’s feet grow properly as they develop.

In Japanese, “SYUN” stands for “flash”, ”instant”; “SOKU” stands for “feet”. That means that these Syunsoku shoes represent “flash feet”, designed for power and speed.

My son is almost out of boy sizes, but they carry some styles in size 5 so these are the Storm Max shoes in red. This shoe is lightweight and a flat sole so this is a great choice for long distance running. A hollow structure is built into the front of the shoe to release heat and moisture making it a very comfortable shoe when moving or in the heat.

All lines of Syunsoku shoes run near $50 so they are very comparable to other brands that offer fitness and soles for athletes in their running shoes. Anthony immediately noticed how lightweight they are when he put them on. They are a great choice for back to school kids shoes for the kids here in the US. They are unique and a top brand.

See all of the shoe choices at Syunsoku’s website and follow them on Facebook.
