Friday Follow Topic-Random Friday Thoughts
Good morning and happy Friday Follow to all of you who have participated and all of you newbies who are just joining us. I seen something similar to this on another blog and thought I would give it a try. Here are some random Friday thoughts for you:
*Watching Good Morning American this morning and my heart goes out to the family of the Sea World trainer that got attacked and killed a few days ago. Did I hear that guy say it was her fault because of her ponytail?
*Congratulations to South Korean figure skater Kim Yu-Na for taking the gold medal in the Olympics last night. Her performance was amazing! The figure Skater from Canada Joannie Rochette made me cry, hard to believe she lost her mom four days ago. Believe me, I know how she feels.
*Really tired of winter and all of this snow. They say we have a 100% chance for more snow along with blowing and drifting. Going to make it hard to go grocery shopping later, but I'm going anyway.
*Congratulations to the Canadian Women's Hockey team for winning the gold medal last night. Also congrats to the US women for grabbing the silver, nothing to be ashamed about.
*Church choir practice was a ton of fun last night. It didn't feel like we got a whole lot of singing in in between all the laughing we were doing.
*Glad last Sunday is over. I joined the church, got baptized, my girls got baptized, I had to sing in choir, and it was communion Sunday too. Busy day!
*Got the new furniture this week. It looks great and has that new furniture smell. I finally got the new living room that I have been wanting for the 15 years I've been married. Our furniture is cocoa and the carpet and trim around the windows is a pretty shade of green, hubby says it is out mint chocolate chip room.
*Survivor last night was pretty good-glad to see Randy go, yet was hoping they would get rid of Parvati, she really annoys me. Impressed by Rob's hard work, beginning to see what Amber sees in him.
*Really bummed to see that they found the body of "Growing Pains" actor Andrew Koenig, such a bummer. He had everything going for him, too bad he was in such pain.
*Getting tired of fighting with my 7 year old daughter, don't know why she has to be so mouthy and always looking for a fight, also tired of picking up her room, she just doesn't want to do anything.
*Love that my 17 month old daughter helps me around the house, she loves to help pick up her blankets out of the crib, help me pick up pillows when I make the bed, and helps pick up her toys. Some days it's amazing what she does!
*Really sad to see the Olympics come to an end this weekend. I have really enjoyed watching them and spending several late nights getting into all of the drama that is figure skating. Oh well at least I got something to look forward to in 2014.
*Been doing a lot of organizing around the house this week, bookshelves and cupboards, the house is starting to look really good, now if I could just get down in the basement and get that done.
*I love Handy Manny, this is a really a cute show and little one sure does like it.
*Hoping to get my hockey fix this weekend, hard to believe there are only 22 regular season games left in our season here in Muskegon and then more than likely the playoffs before our professional hockey team is taken away from us. 50 years of professional hockey and poof! gone. Not really happy about this at all.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Eloise :)

Wow Wow Wubbzy Go For the Gold DVD Review and Giveaway
Wubbzy and his pals start getting geared up to compete in the big event, the Wuzzleburg Wacky Dash and Michelle advises them to prepare, practice and have fun. While Wubbzy, Widget, and Walden all devise shortcuts they hope will help them reach the finish line the fastest, Daizy helps her friends-and young viewers-learn that slow and steady wins the race.
"Go For the Gold" (suggested retail price $16.98) gives young Wubbzy fans a front row seat as Wubbzy joins a hoopty hoops team, learns that being small need not get in the way of being a champion, and that playing fair is the only way to truly win. This taught my oldest a very important lesson because every time we play video games, a card game, or any other game, she always feels like she has to win and when she doesn't, she gets mad. Once she watched this particular episode on the DVD, she realized that this wasn't the case.
In "Run For Fun", the episode featuring Michelle Kwan, and one of the seven episodes featured on the DVD, everyone in Wuzzleburg is excited that the Wuzzolympics Games are coming to town-especially when the coach is none other than Michelle Kwanzleberry
The DVD also features an episode called "What a Card" featuring Tiki Barber as the best footy-football player ever! In this episode, Wubbzy and Daizy both want to round out their footy-football collections with the very rare Touchdown Tiki card. When their buddy Earl unwittingly gets it, they both try to become his best friend in hopes that he will offer them the coveted card.
Wow Wow Wubbzy has been a hit with young viewers and their families since its premiere episode in 2006 on Nickelodeon and now airs daily on Nick Jr. Wubbzy is a fun, lovable, curious little guy who loves to play, play and play with his friends in Wuzzleburg. The show keeps kids laughing while providing essential wholesome life lessons about cooperation and teamwork. The show also supports preschool skills such as sharing, listening, compromising, helping and appreciating others, self awareness and the use of humor as a coping skill. Although their world is more fanciful and imaginative than our own, Wubbzy and his pals deal with the same social and developmental issues faced by preschoolers. They learn how to fit into the group, how to understand their own feelings and those of others, and how to get along with one another.
You can purchase this DVD through Amazon.com, other online retailers and retail stores.

Garden of Holly Review and Giveaway
Hand made soap is the obvious choice: it is far more gentler than store bought soap. Commercial soap makers remove the glycerin that is left in the homemade variety, this gives store bought soap a longer shelf life but detracts from its natural emollient qualities. Homemade soap has been found to have a beneficial effect on skin conditions such as psoriasis.
Garden of Holly sells a variety of not only handmade soaps, but organic natural skin care, baby products, candles, perfumes and cleaning solutions. All of their products are:
*Non Toxic
*Synthetic Free
*Paraben-Free
*Phthalate-Free
*Artificial Fragrance Free
*Artificial Color Free
*Synthetic Preservative Free
*Sulfate Free
*Propylene Free
*Petrochemical Free
All of their products are made in small batches and made to order. Garden of Holly only uses fresh, certified organic and wild crafted ingredients as well as therapeutic grade essential oils. They also obtain almost 100% of their supplies from local suppliers. Their products are also rich in minerals and vitamins readily absorbed in the skin.
You just have to check out the great gift sets and natural remedies as well as the other wonderful products. Check them all out HERE.
GIVEAWAY-
Holly from Garden of Holly would love to offer one of my lucky Mommy2TwoGirls readers a bar of her wonderful handmade soap, your choice of scent. To view choices, head HERE. (approx value $5.50-$6.50)

McNeill Designs For Brighter Minds Games Review and Giveaway
Twisted Fish- The name of the game says it all-this is a twisted version of the classic Go Fish, complete with a colorful and at some points comical deck of cards. My oldest was really excited to give this game a try, so we waited until the weekend and had a family game night to test this out. Here is the description of the game according to the site:
The old game of Go Fish just got a very challenging twist. It isn't child's play anymore! Twisted Fish takes a traditional standby and casts it into the 21st century.
13 unique fish characters in five different colors, plus 8 unique "Zingers" that allow you to break the rules, make Twisted Fish a unique game experience. The real challenge takes place when asking for the fish cards you are collecting-now you have to be specific about the type of fish and color that you are seeking. Twisted Fish challenges you to remember every question asked at the table. It is challenging and fun right down to the very last card.
For ages 8 and up, 30-40 minutes, 3-6 players
This was definitely a fun and exciting game to play. The oldest who is 7 years old got the hang of it right away and of course ended up beating her dad and I easily. It is a challenging game indeed and you have to have a good memory, but even if you don't, it's a great game to play. The illustrations on the cards are enough to keep you laughing, but of course we laughed throughout the whole game. I also love that you can go to the site and Meet the Fish, learn the rules and even check out a video. I can't wait to get my extended family over to play this game with us.
The other game that we received is a very popular one for McNeill Designs for Brighter Minds-You've Been Sentenced. This one was a little harder for the oldest to play, but as smart as she is, it didn't take her long to pick up on it after we explained it to her a few times. Here is the description according to the site:
The latest in the evolution of game, You've Been Sentenced is the first game in history to really turn making sentences into a funny, playable and challenging game. Using a unique word deck of pentagon shaped cards containing conjunctions of funny words, famous names, throughout history, familiar places and wild cards, players have to make grammatically correct and justifiable sentences. The real fun begins when the players have to read their sentences out loud and explain what they mean to the rest of the players. They form the jury and vote thumbs up or down on whether the sentence and justification stand and the points are scored. 540 cards with over 2,500 words insure billions of possible sentences so the game is never repetitive and has unlimited replay value.
Multiple other methods of play are available on the McNeill Designs For Brighter Minds website that turn You've Been Sentenced into not just a game but a full game system. They even have a lesson plan to turn the game into a classroom teaching tool. This game makes learning grammar and sentence construction fun and easy.
For ages 8 and up, 30-40 minutes to play, 3-10 players with extensive rule variations
This game truly is a wonderful teaching tool for my oldest. Yes we did actually play the game, but she has been learning to do sentences in school and this IS definitely the perfect teaching tool to do just that. The generous folks at McNeill also sent each one of their add on decks for You've Been Sentenced including: Gourmet Cuisine, Pop Culture, Sci-Fi and Fantasy, Sports Highlights, and the Reader's Digest National Word Power Challenge Decks. This makes the possibilities endless, the fun continuing and the learning continuous. I am not only impressed by the fun that we have playing this game, but at how my oldest is learning new words, sentences and sentence construction. Great props to McNeill Designs for Brighter Minds on this game, they really have a great thing going.
McNeill Designs For Brighter Minds was founded in 2004, and they have never considered themselves an ordinary game development company. The You've Been Sentenced games sets the tone for all future endeavors and ideas. This game succeeds where others have failed. McNeill uses it's success to support charitable causes such as Success Won't Wait, a non-profit organization that helps fight illiteracy through the distribution of books.

GIVEAWAY-
The very generous folks at McNeill Designs for Brighter Minds would love to give one lucky Mommy2TwoGirls reader their very own Twisted Fish game and a You've Been Sentenced Game as well as a full set of the Add-On Decks (Gourmet Cuisine, Pop Culture, Sci-Fi and Fantasy, Sports Highlights, and Reader's Digest National Word Power Challenge) This is a fantastic giveaway, thanks to McNeill!

Innofresh Products Review and Giveaway
FRIDGE IT Cubes and FRIDGE IT Wafers are ideal for even the worst odors in refrigerators and for providing fresher tasting and smelling ice in the freezer. Their activated charcoal works on all odors, not just the easy ones. Advanced air flow design and an activated charcoal filter literally pulls odors in the filter and traps them. Fragrance free so odors aren't covered up by irritating fragrances but instead eliminated by the advanced activated charcoal filter.

Their FRIDGE IT products have received national news coverage for its abilty to absorb even the toughest odors. FRIDGE IT has also been featured on the Food Network show Food Detectives.
Since then under the Innofresh brand, they have continued their mission of exploring safe and effective activated charcoal alternatives to other fragranced spray powders, gels, and oil products with their extended line of consumer air freshener solutions for a variety of other specialized areas such as cat litter boxes and small animal cages with their Innofresh Pet Odor absorber.
