Toy Story Toons: Hawaiian Vacation
If you have not taken your kids to see Cars 2 yet, let me give you another reason to take them...Toy Story Toons: Hawaiian Vacation
Set in new owner Bonnie’s bedroom, “Toy Story Toons: Hawaiian Vacation” features Woody (voice of Tom Hanks) and Buzz (voice of Tim Allen) and the rest of the favorite “Toy Story 3” toys as they create the ultimate Hawaiian vacation for Ken (voice of Michael Keaton) and Barbie (voice of Jodi Benson). It seems Ken badly miscalculated their travel arrangements, so the gang has to create a dream getaway in Bonnie’s Midwestern bedroom—in the middle of winter. “Hawaiian Vacation” also features the voices of Joan Cusack, Wallace Shawn, Don Rickles, Estelle Harris, Blake Clark, Bonnie Hunt, Timothy Dalton, Kristen Schaal, Jeff Garlin and John Ratzenberger.

Water Safety and Swimming Tips
This Summer in Houston and surrounding areas there have been many drownings already and Summer just started a couple of days ago. I think it is important for parents and kids to know and talk about water safety before heading to any body of water even your pool. Be safe this Summer, and share these tips with your kiddos.
The USA Swimming Foundation is preparing to launch an annual cross-country water safety tour, Make a Splash with Cullen Jones, presented by ConocoPhillips, to raise awareness about the importance of learning how to swim.
Water Safety At-A-Glance:
· Each year, more than 3,400 people drown in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
· More than one in five fatal drowning victims are children younger than 14
· Drowning is the second-leading cause of injury-related death among children ages 1-14
· Seven out of every 10 African-American and Hispanic children cannot swim, according to a national research study by USA Swimming and the University of Memphis.
· African-American children drown at a rate nearly three times higher than their Caucasian peers (CDC).
When Olympic Gold Medalist Jones was five-years-old he nearly drowned - prompting his mother to enroll him in swimming lessons for the first time. Today Jones is committed to sharing his personal story and promoting water safety tips to parents and children across the county. By the end of 2011, it is the goal of Make a Splash to enroll more than one million children in swim lessons – regardless of economic status.
Five Tips for Keeping Children Safe In and Around Water*
1. Teach children to swim. It's the best way to be safer in the water. Research shows that parents are the most influential factors in whether or not a child learns to swim. Only 13 percent of children from non-swimming households will ever learn to swim, according to national research conducted by the University of Memphis for USA Swimming.
2. Make sure a responsible adult is watching the water at all times. Drowning can be completely silent, and most child drownings occur when the victim has been out of sight for less than five minutes.
3. Remind kids to always obey the rules of the pool, not to jump on or dunk other swimmers, and not to jump or dive unless they know how deep the water is.
4. Require kids to always swim with a buddy.
5. Remember, you don't have to be at a pool to drown. Lakes, rivers, large puddles and any other bodies of water also require caution. Make sure your child knows how to swim, whether or not they'll be around a pool this summer.

Cincinnati-Free Concert
Los Lobos, El Guero Y Su Banda Centenario and Comedian Alex Reymundo Perform at Voces Unidas Free Concert at 82nd Annual LULAC National Convention
With the backdrop of the 2011 National Convention & Expo in Cincinnati, LULAC has once again called upon the Latino entertainment community to unite and raise their collective voices through a star-studded concert with a cause, Voces Unidas or Voices United.
Top Latin entertainment Los Lobos, El Guero Y Su Banda Centenario and Comedian Alex Reymundo will perform Thursday evening, June 30 at Cincinnati's Duke Energy Convention Center, site of the 82nd Annual LULAC National Convention. Voces Unidas is a free concert with top Latin talent held in conjunction with the convention. This year's event continues a tradition of Latino entertainers supporting LULAC's call for a more united America.
"LULAC first and foremost addresses serious issues addressing our community, and this year we want to encourage partnerships, because together we can achieve so much more," remarked Margaret Moran, LULAC President. "At the same time, we want to give a gift of stellar Latin music and comedy to the Cincinnati Latino community, which now numbers 125,000."
Los Lobos, the three-time Grammy-winning band, is on tour now, treating audiences to the sounds of classic Los Lobos tunes in addition to material from their new album The Town and the City. After 34 years of making music, Los Lobos is still churning out inventive and inspiring music. Los Lobos is one of the premier Chicano Rock bands in America.
El Guero Y Su Banda Centenario are rising stars among the Regional Mexican music genre. Fresh off a 2011 Grammy Award in the Banda Category, the group is best known for its romantic style of Regional Mexican music.
Alex Reymundo boasts two one-hour specials "Red-Nexican" and "Hick-Spanic" that have aired on Showtime and Comedy Central. Reymundo spent three years touring with Blue Collar's Bad Boy Ron White and is one of "The Original Latin Kings of Comedy."
This is the fourth year that LULAC has joined forces with TV and music producer David Chavez and LatinPointe to use music as a unifying theme in rallying support from the Latin entertainment and political world.
The concert is a highlight of the LULAC's National Convention. This year's theme is Bridging the Gap: Expanding the Latino Agenda Into New Frontiers.
Voces Unidas will be free to the community, but ticketed. Tickets can be picked up from event sponsors in the Expo Hall at the LULAC Convention. The Expo is free and open to the public Wednesday, June 29 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Thursday, June 30 from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and Friday, July 1 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Event sponsors are Macy's, MillerCoors, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., Caesars Entertainment and Telemundo/NBCUniversal.

MamaSan Maternity Review
Are you a Rocking Momma? Well just because you are pregnant does not mean you can no longer rock your style, lose your look. I was surfing the internet looking for something that said I am pregnant but I ROCK! That is when I found MamaSan Maternity.
About MamaSan Maternity Apparel-
MamaSan Maternity Apparel is a unique clothing line for the rockin' soon-to-be-mommy who has a distinctive style to preserve.

We know you want the same edgy style, but with the extra comfort for your growing bump. Our designs allow you to look sexy and rocker-chic throughout your pregnancy and well beyond your 9 months of glory. Whether your lifestyle is Punk, Rockabilly, Psychobilly or Goth, it's all Rock and Roll through and through when you sport our gear.

My favorite moment of joy is when my son with special needs says, "I zuv Mom!" and wraps his arms around me every morning when I get him out of bed. At night, after bed, i still give them both a nice leg and foot massage with Johnson's lotions. My oldest son that is four wears braces on his feet all day and I know this must feel relaxing on his tired feet, he has a lot of therapies so he is tired at the end of the day. Thanks for the opportunity.

Pregnant Belly Salve Review and Giveaway ***CLOSED***
Motherlove just celebrated their 20th anniversary. They have been making natural, safe and effective products (without toxins!) for women since before any other company thought it was necessary. When you visit your favorite store today and see all the less toxic products for pregnancy, thank Motherlove for their vision and commitment to nurturing life! To give you an idea of the history and legacy of this company, Motherlove has been in business over twice as long as any other truly-safe brand. Their products are all rated 0 on Skin Deep for toxicity (zero is the lowest possible rating).
Let me introduce you to one of their products:
Scar-healing shea butter is added to the same certified organic herbs and oil base as Motherlove's pregnant belly oil to create this creamy salve that keeps skin soft and elastic. This salve effectively prevents stretch marks and relieves the itch of stretching skin. Wonderful for regular moisturizing in the mornings, evenings or anytime! Motherlove’s pregnant belly salve has a zero rating (zero toxins) on EWG’s skin deep database.
Pregnant Belly Salve $17.95 size: 4 oz.
(apricot oil, beeswax*, shea butter*, marshmallow root*, rosehips*, lavender*, chamomile*, calendula*, lavender essential oil*)
*Certified Organic Ingredients
Rub onto growing belly, breasts, hips, and thighs to minimize stretch marks and ease itching.
My thoughts-I like that this product is organic. I, as a good mother, am looking to take care of myself and my baby from the inside out, and outside in. I am 3 months and growing. I want to take care of my skin and body for the changes it is taking. The salve is really easy to use. It is not too thick, like other products. I know it is safe because of the all natural ingredients used. I really like the smell.
Thanks to Motherlove, I have 1 bottle of Pregnant Belly Salve to giveaway to one of my readers.

The Nurturing Life Foundation has a twofold mission:
To promote breastfeeding and support mothers-in-need.

NUEVA YORK (14 de junio de 2011) – Para celebrar el lanzamiento de Degree® Women con tecnología motionSENSE™ —la única fórmula antiperspirante activada directamente con el movimiento, no con la humedad— Degree está recompensando a las mujeres por moverse. La aplicación “Entra en la Movida” que se lanzó hoy en Facebook recompensa a las usuarias con la oportunidad de ganar miles de premios fabulosos por las maneras en que las mujeres ya se mueven, no importa si se montan en el auto para hacer mandados o si se montan en la bicicleta para recorrer muchas millas.
Al registrarse para la aplicación “Entra en la Movida” de Degree Women en Facebook (facebook.com/degreewomenenespanol) o en dispositivos móviles (m.degreewomenenespanol.com), las fans pueden empezar a acumular motionMILES, moneda virtual que se puede cambiar por oportunidades de ganar miles de premios. Estas motionMILES se acumulan por diferentes maneras en que las mujeres se mueven, incluyendo el entrar con los Lugares de Facebook y registrar las actividades. Acumular motionMILES es sencillo; las actividades elegibles son entre otras, ir al gimnasio, tomar clases de Zumba o de yoga y varias actividades más que las mujeres ya hacen, como ir de compras o tomar el autobús. Las fans también pueden acumular motionMILES al responder preguntas diarias en la aplicación de Facebook, al invitar amigas a “Entra en la Movida” e incluso al entrar diariamente.
Una vez que las fans acumulen motionMILES, las pueden utilizar para intentar ganar premios al instante haciendo girar la rueda o participando en los sorteos semanales y del premio mayor. Los premios incluyen un viaje de surf en Hawaii, zapatos de diseñador, certificados de regalo de Zumba y mucho más. Las fans también pueden donar motionMILES en dinero a una de estas dos organizaciones benéficas: The Challenged Athletes Foundation y Girls in The Game.
“En un día normal, las mujeres participan en numerosas acciones. De hecho, la mujer promedio se mueve 5,000 veces al día”, explica Mike Dwyer, Director de Mercadotecnia de desodorantes en Unilever. “Con la nueva tecnología motionSENSE™ de Degree, mientras más te mueves, más trabaja. Tomamos esa misma idea y creamos un programa de recompensas para que nuestras fans entren en la movida y sean recompensadas con motionMILES –cuanto más acumulan, más posibilidades tienen de ganar. ¡Qué manera de poner nuestro producto a prueba!”
Baila para obtener motionMILES con Zumba® Fitness

State Farm-Juega Hoy. Ilumina El Mañana
State Farm recently launched their latest program, Play Today. Illuminate Tomorrow (Juega Hoy. Ilumina El Mañana), as part of their sponsorship of the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup. The Gold Cup Semifinals are taking place here Houston, TX on tomorrow, June 22. This State Farm event is taking place at the game!
State Farm has partnered with sOccket™ (a soccer ball that generates and stores electricity via physical play) in an effort to bring a light of hope to the Latin America and Caribbean countries with lack of access to electricity. With Play Today. Illuminate Tomorrow program, State Farm is asking Gold Cup attendees to stop by the mini State Farm soccer field for the chance to physically play with and donate sOccket balls to participating countries. There will also be athlete and celebrity appearances! Additionally, there is a brand new Juega e Ilumina tab on the State Farm Latino Facebook page, which will house the opportunity for visitors to generate and donate sOccket™ balls as well. Every 15 minutes of play collected will result in one sOccket™ ball donation, so State Farm will donate more sOccket™ balls when consumers play more (online and offline).
SOCCKET™ PARTNERS WITH STATE FARM® TO UNVEIL POWER GENERATING SOCCER BALLS WITH ITS JUEGA HOY. ILUMINA EL MAŃANA PROGRAM
NEW YORK (JUNE 14, 2011) --- 31 million people in Latin America and more than a quarter of Latin American rural communities have no electricity.* Americans often do not recognize and understand the difficulties that a life without electricity brings. Thanks to sOccket™, a newly developed product from Uncharted Play, Inc., play time can also mean a solution to this unfortunate situation in Latin American countries around the world. sOccket™, a soccer ball that harnesses and stores green energy during play for later use as a power source, has partnered with State Farm® to launch its Juega Hoy. Ilumina el Mañana (Play Today. Illuminate Tomorrow) program in association with the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup, the regional soccer championship of North America, Central America, and the Caribbean.
sOcckets are portable generators that combine the fun of soccer with innovative engineering, providing clean power and a purposeful symbol of empowerment for those with limited access to energy around the world.
The State Farm Juega Hoy. Ilumina el Mañana program allows participants the opportunity to generate energy, while playing with the prototype balls, for their participating Latin American Gold Cup country of choice. Participants will be able to play with the prototypes in person at select Gold Cup events and virtually on State Farm Latino, State Farm’s Hispanic Facebook page, and via an iPhone mobile application. Their physical and virtual activity will be tracked, and the more play that occurs, the more sOccket balls will be shipped to Latin American countries in need. Every 15 minutes of play equals one more ball that will be donated. Participating consumers will have the opportunity to vote on where they would like to send a sOccket ball. The top three Latin American countries receiving votes will receive sOcckets.
“State Farm is so happy to be able to be a founding corporate Champion of sOccket to help these Latin American countries in dire need. As the good neighbors to the North, we hope that soccer fans will take part in these fun activities and help us send the first large shipment of sOccket balls to the chosen Latin American countries.” Said Pam El, marketing vice president for State Farm. “We understand that the Hispanic community in North America has a strong desire to help their families in their home countries and we hope that this program will empower them to assist in yet another way.”
“When State Farm came to us with their Juega Hoy. Illumina el Manana program, we knew immediately that we had found a great partner in the fight for energy empowerment around the world,” said sOccket co-inventor and Uncharted Play, Inc. CEO, Jessica O. Matthews. “We were seeking a venue to bring sOcckets to Latin American communities that needed them most, and with State Farm’s help, it is finally happening.”
The balls will appear at 10 of 13 Gold Cup participating cities during the month of June and participants can interact online, download the mobile app, track activity and vote for where the balls will be donated via State Farm’s Hispanic Facebook page at facebook.com/statefarrmlatino. sOccket, the flagship movement for Uncharted Play, Inc., will be available for purchase by end of summer 2011. For more information, visit www.sOccket.com or facebook.com/sOccket and twitter.com/sOccket.
Uncharted Play, Inc. is a zero-profit social enterprise co-founded by Harvard graduates, Jessica O. Matthews and Julia Silverman, with the mission to create fun products and services that address sustainability and real-world problems.

kikisfashions.com Review and Giveaway***CLOSED***
So as you may have already figured out, I'm pregnant. I am so excited for this new adventure we are taking. It has been almost 13 years since I was last pregnant. I was a size 5, and I did not look pregnant the entire time. This time, I am older, and a little fuller than before. So I am in need of some cheap maternity clothes that will be comfortable for me to wear now, and throughout the entire prenancy. Because if it one thing I have already realized, comfort is what I need. But I also like clothes that are versatile and multi-purpose for both day and night wear.

Brookstone-Father's Day Sale
They have new items that just hit the store, and they are also having a sale. So if you are looking for a Father's Day present, you can head on over to Brookstone, play with the gadgets, and find the perfect gifts.
Here are some of my favorites, which some I tried in store:
1) OSIM uAstro Zero-Gravity Massage Chair Was $3,495.00 Now $3,299.00
*My thoughts-My husband and I have a membership at a local massage place and we each pay a monthly due which could be my monthly payment to this chair. I sat in this chair and I loved it. It contours to your body as it scans you as soon as you sit in it. It has air bags that cushion you as you sit there in bliss. From head to the tip of your toes, you get a great massage. It has different settings you can use in the morning, afternoon, and at night. It can be used by children age 10-to the elderly age 99, because of the design of the chair contouring to your body. No need to figure out the complicated control, one button push, and you are in massage heaven.
2) Brookstone Anti-Snore Pillow $99.99
*My thoughts-Are you like me, and find gifts for your hubby that benefit you? I am just saying. This is a God send. I have not tried it but I thought it was a great idea. My husband snores all nite long, anything that can help him stop, I would love to try. Again, I am just saying.
3) Cuisinart® BBQ Tools 14-piece Set $49.99
*My thoughts-Perfect gift for any griller out there. My husband loves to grill. Our dog attack his set, and chewed it all up. Since it was made out of wood, it was destroyed. I like this set.
Now this one is for a gamer, check this out...
Another fun one...
Hey parents, one hot toy this Christmas was the Paper Jamz guitars. Brookstone has them for $14.99. My son and my nephews love theirs. They have a great selection, in case your kids collect them.
These are just some of the gifts in store. I like going to Brookstone for the friendly salespeople, innovative gadgets, and great prices.
***Disclosure-I was invited to attend this event. No monetary compensation was received. I received a gift for attending. These are my honest opinions.

Beyond Bedding review
There are so many things to do before my baby comes, and one of the things on my checklist is selecting baby bedding. There are so many choices to choose from, one being Camo Baby Bedding since my husband is a Marine and wants the baby to be named "Marine". Yes, you just read that. The name is cute because in Spanish, it is "Marina". And I like bilingual names. Another choice we looked at was Sports Crib Bedding. We are a huge sports family. My son and husband both play baseball, and I played softball in high school. We are sports fanatics all year long. But keeping with the decor of my house of red, white, blue, and stars, I had see what was available in Western Baby Bedding. There are so many other choices to look at, because everything baby is so cute. I mean who doesn't like Polka Dot Baby Bedding? I remember looking for a baby gift last year for my cousin who loves polka dots, and remember thinking that the dots were so cute so babies. Like I said there are so many choices, I had to go with something so timeless.
We really liked this pattern and it goes with our decor. I could so add some stars to this pattern. It is timeless and cute for the baby. And I also could add some cute stuffed animals to this pattern.
***Disclosure-No monetary compensation was received. I received this set to review. These are our honest opinions, and this is the set we picked for our baby.
I found the perfect color and bedding pattern that I really liked. This Camel Paisley gold and chocolate baby bedding. Beyond Bedding has flat rate shipping at $7.95. They carry luxury bedding at comfortable prices. This is a 9 pc set for $159.99. The set includes comforter, bumper, skirt, fitted sheet, toy bag, decorative throw pillow, diaper stacker, and 2 window valances. I have not seen this set anywhere, trust me, this weekend we ventured around from baby store to baby store. We did notice alot of stores carrying the same ole, same ole for about the same price or more and some with less pieces in the set.
