Thanks to Toy State and Childs Play PR, I was provided 2 vehicles to review here on Frugal and Fun Mom. Opinions expressed in this post are that of my own.

Boy with Road Rippers Hatchback

Do your kids like toys that play music, have lights, or move? Well mine do, and Toy State has a variety of new vehicles that do those fun things.

There is a line of vehicles called Road Rippers and we got to play with the MINI Countryman WRC Hatchbacks. These cars come with a unique rotating speaker bed that changes into 3 different styles.  Simply pop the trunk and the speakers rotate out to play tunes.  It also moves when manually pushed and it has blinking lights.  Road Rippers come in a Ford Fiesta version as well,  and are intended for children 3 and up.  Suggested Retail Price is $9.99.

Road Rippers Hatchback

My son likes this car because it plays music.  I like it because it has flashing lights and is a cool looking vehicle.  

007 toy car

We also got to check out the Casino Royale Aston Martin DB5 007 car.

In conjunction with the 50th anniversary of the James Bond movie franchise, Danjaq LLC, the film production company, has partnered with Toy State to roll out a line of toy cars under the 007™ brand. The 007car is intended for children ages 6 and up and has motorized driving action.  It also comes with working head and tail lights, vehicle sounds, and the classic James Bond Theme music.

The 007 car is available in 4 models including the Aston Martin DBS (Quantum of Solace), Aston Martin DB5 (Casino Royale), Lotus Esprit (The Spy Who Loved Me) and the featured car from the latest installment of the James Bond franchise, Skyfall.  These vehicles are available for purchase through Amazon.com Toy State Cars and the Suggested Retail is $12.99.

 

Kids playing with 007 Car

My kids were fighting over this car.  Why wouldn’t they, it is a sports car, it plays music, and it moves on its own.  They don’t necessarily appreciate that it is from a James Bond movie, however I know a few Dad’s out there who would like to own this regardless of the fact that it is a toy.

Check out the following video of my kids demonstrating the cars!

My also kids decided to pretend that the 007 car was the good guy and it was on a high-speed chase around the bedroom going after the Hatchbacks.  They had a great time with this adventure, and I really like that these cars are keeping them entertained.

I am a Moms Meet Mom Ambassador and Blogger.  I was provided items for FREE to distribute to fellow moms. I did not receive compensation for this post. Opinions expressed are that of my own.

Honest Kids Moms Meet pack

Thanks to Moms Meet and Honest Tea, I was sent a package of products to facilitate a Mom’s Group Event with HONEST KIDS Juice!

I jump at these opportunities because I like to try new products, and since I am in a group with over 80 moms, it is a great way to entertain. It is also fun to get together, and I think it is awesome when companies are willing to sponsor these events. With this particular pack, the moms got lip balm and antibacterial hand sanitizer to take home with them.

I love giving out FREE stuff!

Honest Kids Moms Meet

If you are not familiar with Honest Kids Juice, it is certified organic, not made with GMO’s, and has no high fructose corn syrup.  In addition, it is sweetened with juice instead of sugar, and has 100% of the daily value of Vitamin C.

Child with Honest Kids Juice

Honest Kids Juice comes in 5 flavors including Appley Ever After, Berry Berry Good Lemonade, Goodness Grapeness, Super Fruit Punch, and Tropical Tango Punch. An 8 pack retails between $3.49 and $3.99. I was only able to locate the product at a Target in my area, however you may also find it at Publix, Safeway, Whole Foods Market and other retailers.

Honest Kids Juice Pouch

We sampled the Berry Berry Good Lemonade and Super Fruit Punch and I like that they are not super sweet. Out of the the 2 though, I liked the Super Fruit Punch the best. My kids enjoyed trying them all!

The following is a Sponsored Post on Behalf of TruGreen. Opinions expressed by me are that of my own.

Curb Appeal Tru Green

 

When selling your home, making money is as important as saving money!

When my husband and I were out looking to purchase a home a few years back, one of the things I checked for was a well maintained yard. Personally, I did not want to spend a lot of money on lawn repair, I wanted to move to a house with nice thick grass, limited weeds, and established beds around the home.  We were fortunate to find a great house that had all of these things, plus it was really clean and had nice upgrades on the inside.

Recently TruGreen commissioned a Lawn Lifestyles Survey that revealed that the majority of Americans surveyed (72 percent) said “it takes seconds to form a first impression about the outside of a home” and those impressions take root, as over one-third (38 percent) said “once I’ve formed an opinion about a home’s appearance, it is hard to change my mind.” In fact, more than half of Americans surveyed (53 percent) said “the quality of the homeowner’s lawn can tell you a lot about the quality of the home overall.”

Invest in your lawn ongoing and improve home value.

Jason Cameron, licensed contractor and TV host, is back starring in TruGreen’s seasonal webisodes to provide insights and tips for improving your home’s first impression. Check out the following 5 tips for lawn care this spring.

 

 

Need help with your lawn’s curb appeal?

Celebrating 40 years, TruGreen is the nation’s largest lawn care company, serving approximately 2 million residential and commercial customers across the United States with lawn, tree and shrub care. They offer specialized lawn services that are designed to specifically meet your lawn’s needs throughout the year based on climate, grass type, soil condition and usage.

Go to TruGreen.com or check out additional videos such as, Episode one which promotes the role of curb appeal in selling a home; episode two that emphasizes improving home value with a great lawn; episode three which reminds homeowners about spring lawn care basics; and episode four that touts the benefits of a healthy lawn to our planet.

*TruGreen’s Lawn Lifestyles National Survey was fielded from January 3 – 9, 2013, using the field services of ORC International (Opinion Research Corporation). The online omnibus survey was conducted among a nationally representative sample of Americans aged 18+ (n=2,000), with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.2 percentage points at the 95 percent confidence level. For questions that were asked among homeowners who are personally responsible for making decisions regarding their lawn care (n=829), the margin of error is plus or minus 3.4 percentage points at the 95 percent confidence level.

The following is review of behalf of the release of Shake It Up: I <3 Dance.  I received a CD to facilitate this post. Opinions expressed are that of my own.

ShakeItUp CD I love dance

 

Do you and your kids like to dance?  Well here is a CD that you all can enjoy!

Let’s just say, I was really excited when I found out that my family would get an opportunity to review the NEW soundtrack called Shake It Up: I <3 Dance. My kids were just as excited to get this CD. As soon as this package arrived, they were harassing me to put it into the player. We watch the Disney Channel pretty much every day whether it is cartoons or sitcoms, and one of our favorite shows is Shake It Up. We really like the funny story line, the characters, and we like the music.

Shake It Up: I <3 Dance is a collection of 12 dance tracks that are featured on the third season of the show.  There are songs by Bella Thorne and Zendaya as well as Selena Gomez, up-and-coming stars Coco Jones and the McClain Sisters. The 12th song is a bonus track by Bridgit Mendler called “We’re Dancing”. This CD also has special features, including music videos that can be accessed via computer. The Shake It Up: I <3 Dance soundtrack is currently available for $9.99 on both iTunes and Amazon.com.

Shake It Up CD child Dancing

My daughter dancing to the CD!

We have enjoyed listening to this during playtime, after homework, and while we have been cleaning house.  It has very upbeat music and gets the kids moving. My son has even been practicing his “break dancing” to it. My favorite songs on this CD are “Contagious Love” and “This is My Dance Floor” both sung by Bella Thorne and Zendaya.  I think my kids like them all.

Shake It Up is the #1 live-action TV series in its time period among Kids 2-11 and Kids 6-11. The show chronicles the adventures of best friends CeCe (Bella Thorne) and Rocky (Zendaya), whose dreams of becoming professional dancers are realized when they land roles as background dancers on the most popular teen dance show, “Shake It Up, Chicago!”
