PlayMobil Take Along Soccer Match- {Review/Giveaway} CLOSED

Our kids love sports,  we don't currently have them involved right now, but we will soon.  They definitely were thrilled when they saw the Playmobil Take Along Soccer Match ($59.99). I was very excited to have a toy that they could take along that doesn't require a lot of space because it folds up.  I am the type of mom that doesn't allow too much television in our home and this type of toy,  is a great alternative to all the new and expensive electronic gadgets. Playmobil toys in my opinion are well-made and sturdy. My daughters and sons have enjoyed having this new toy. Perfect for summer travel, this compactable and travel-ready Take Along Soccer Match includes a 22 x 33 inch field, soccer ball and other accessories. To further enhance the soccer experience, the figures have a leg that kicks to propel the ball forward, which helps make playtime more realistic. There are also goalie figures that connect to goal joystick, which allows kids to cont

Doc McStuffins: Friendship is the Best Medicine ~ Review

My kids had only seen one episode of Doc McStuffins on Disney Jr. previously,  because we don't have cable TV. I have 6 children ages 2-10 years old. Our 4 year old daughter and 2 year old son definitely enjoy this adorable animated series the most, so it's definitely fun for this age group. We loved how the main character, 6 year old doctor African American character Doc McStuffins, helps to heal and treat her toy friends from all around her neighborhood. Her mother happens to be a doctor, and Doc McStuffins gets help from her mother from time to time. As a parent, the idea for the story is just what we look for in a children's animated series. Imagination at play, hand in hand with education. What child didn't grow up playing doctor? My kids have definitely enjoyed playing doctor and this series does a great job encouraging role model play. Added bonus is how the creators of the show has interaction with the audience by asking them to help solve problems with

Beverly Hills Chihuahua 3 Viva La Fiesta~Review

Beverly Hills Chihuahua 3 will have your little ones entertained. The third installment of Beverly Hills Chihuahua definitely will be a cherished movie for our family.  The voice of Papi the dog (George Lopez) as the father of the puppies, is hilarious as always in this delightful family film.  It amazed us at how these puppes and dogs are so well trained to act in this adorable comedy.  Who doesn't love a Chihuahua? I am sure parents will enjoy learning a bit about the traditional Mexican Quincenera in the storyline when Rosita the pup prepares to celebrate this important milestone. Chloe (Odette Annable) the pups mom is offered a great opportunity to be a Hotel's model for advertising purposes,  along with an offer for their owner to have a great job at the same Hotel. Soon Papi and his brother Pedro (Ernie Hudson),  discover a plan by a foe to ruin their families lives financially. Our children have this movie in the favorite movie bin.  I definitely love that t
