K'NEX Wild Whiplash Roller Coaster Building Set

K’NEX Wild Whiplash Roller Coaster Building Set Fun + Tips and Tricks

November 17, 2016 by Jenni 627 Comments

This post was sponsored on behalf of K’NEX, however, all opinions and building fun are 100% our own. 

 

K'NEX Wild Whiplash Roller Coaster Building Set

Building things is just something that is naturally fun! Especially for the guys in my life. K’NEX recently sent us the new K’NEX Wild Whiplash Roller Coaster building set to put together. You should have seen my husband’s and son’s eyes light up when it arrived!

My husband has been working SO much overtime lately – so he and Eli only have the evenings to work on it at the moment. Last night, they pulled it from the box and got to work.

 

Here are a few tips to help get you going on the K’NEX Wild Whiplash Roller Coaster building set!

 

K'NEX Wild Whiplash Roller Coaster Building Set

#1 – Build in a Low Traffic Area

Seriously. My guys jumped the gun and just dumped everything out into the middle of my kitchen floor. HELLO?! Find a spot or corner where there isn’t much traffic through the house to build. Also, keep pets in mind. They get nosy and like to knock things over!

 

K'NEX Wild Whiplash Roller Coaster Building Set

#2 – Separate into Piles

Again. My guys jumped the gun on this one too. They just dumped it all out into the floor and then decided after just a few minutes that they should have separated the pieces into nice little piles.

 

K'NEX Wild Whiplash Roller Coaster Building Set

#3 – Be patient

Rome wasn’t built in a day, right?! If you’re like us and short on time – pick a time to build with your kids if they need help! Choose weeknights, after dinner. Or on the weekends! We’ll be finishing ours up on Thanksgiving break!

 

#4 – Have FUN and Encourage REAL Play

Today, our kids are so into digital and electronic play. We can build things, with just a click on a computer screen. It doesn’t use as much “brain power” as physically building an actual building set! The K’NEX Wild Whiplash Roller Coaster building set is perfect for digging in and encouraging real building and playing!

 

 

 

More about K’NEX Wild Whiplash Roller Coaster:

Seriously! Get ready for the ride of your life!! This bad boy stands over 2 1/2 feet high! This creepy carnival themed coaster works by a motorized chain lift that shoots the coaster car through 14 FEET of twists and turns!

Thankfully, it comes with easy to follow, step by step building instructions. Everyone can build it!! There are even instructions for a 2nd coaster that you can download from knex.com!  It’s the perfect gift this holiday season or ANYtime for that matter! You can find it exclusively at Walmart! You can also find other massive, moving, motortized roller coaster toys, ferris wheels, and more from K’NEX!

K’NEX wants to show kids that the only limit to building is the size of your imagination! After 25 years of business, K’NEX prides itself on connecting science, technology, engineering, arts, and math with imagination.

Add Fireman Minion Stuart to Your Minion Collection this Christmas

December 8, 2014 by Jenni 480 Comments

This post brought to you by Walmart. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Sweet Pennies From Heaven.

My entire family makes fun of my husband because he literally goes to Walmart EVERY single day. Even if we don’t need anything….he just goes to Walmart. I think he spends more time there than the employees do! Lately he’s been looking for Christmas gift ideas for the little man. It’s getting harder and harder to buy for him because he already has so much.

He does love Despicable Me™ and the minions though. LOVES them! We still watch the movie pretty often and we still think it’s hilarious to randomly yell – BANANA – through the house. Only  true Minion fans will understand what that even means. I’m also addicted to using the Minion stickers that are on Facebook now, haha! I use them ALL the time.

Ds2_bee-dofiremanminion_hi-res

The husband spotted the new Despicable Me™ toys at Walmart, made by Thinkway Toys! Have you seen them yet? I’m in love with the new Fireman Minion Stuart! IN LOVE!!! He’s a soft plush toy and he’s got a megaphone and flashing headgear. Naturally, right?! Cause we are talking about Minion Stuart here! You just press his tummy or hands and you can hear his original voice, or “Bee-Doo” sounds! It also sets off flashing and spinning lights and makes siren sound effects! Ohh, and if you squeeze his left hand you can hear him talk with an echo (which Eli would think is hilarious!) and light effects.

Plush toys are always a great gift idea either for your own kiddos, or for the kiddos on your shopping list. Since all kids adore the Despicable Me™ Minions, you cannot go wrong with Fireman Minion Stuart!!! He’s super soft and huggable! You can’t help but to squeeze him!

If you’re a fan of the other minions, then there’s also the talking Minion Dave and the Minion Stuart laughing action toys and then of course all the boys’ favorite – the Fart Blaster toys – ughhh! LOL!!

My little guy cuddles up with his favorite plush toys every night. He usually picks one each night, and I can’t wait for him to find Fireman Minion Stuart and talking Minion Dave under the tree this Christmas! Make sure that you check out Walmart for these fun minions and gift them to your minion fans this year!!!

Last Minute Gift Ideas for Grandparents and Great Grandparents

December 20, 2013 by Jenni 18 Comments

During Christmas shopping, we all have grandma and grandpa on the list to buy for. Sometimes getting them just the right thing can be a difficult challenge. At least MY own parents and grandparents have always been hard to shop for. I prefer to buy them gifts that are useful. Things they wouldn’t normally buy for themselves.

I was introduced to the VTech CareLine phone system awhile back and we love it. It’s the perfect phone system for seniors because of all of the features and functions it offers.

Macintosh HD:Users:jaabramson:Desktop:vtech_careline.jpg    VTech CareLine ™ – Want the senior in your life to stay socially connected?  Seniors are empowered to maintain active lifestyles and close relationships with this home telephone and personal communication system.  This product was designed to answer seniors’ daily communications needs and support hearing, dexterity or vision challenges. Features include large displays, photo speed dial, reminder capabilities, volume boost and a wearable pendant with one-button dialing that directly calls those pre-selected people who seniors communicate with most or for emergencies.

 

Here’s a list of other cool, user-friendly gift ideas for seniors.

Macintosh HD:Users:jaabramson:Desktop:rgleash.jpg  The RuffGrip® Dog Leash – This leash makes walking a dog easier for people with gripping or dexterity problems due to arthritis in the joints of their hands.  The extra padding and no-slip grip is lightweight and provides extra control, while the super soft leather lining makes the leash extremely comfortable to hold.
Macintosh HD:Users:jaabramson:Desktop:2007_02_29-Peeler.jpgChef’n® PalmPeeler – For those folks in your life who have hands that are aching or shaky, this peeler is amazing.  All you do is Just slip your finger through the soft rubber ring on top for a natural feel and extremely easy peeling.  The users hand force is also minimized due to the unique design.
Macintosh HD:Users:jaabramson:Desktop:tp-pro-300x300.jpg  Tee Pal Pro – Having a bad back doesn’t mean that your aging loved one needs to give up golf.  In fact, the low-impact nature of the sport makes it an ideal physical activity for mature adults.  However, there are still challenges, including bending over to tee up the ball.  The Tee Pal Pro is a unique, lightweight, and ergonomic golf ball-teeing device, allowing users to remain upright so they don’t have to bend over to “tee up the ball”.
Macintosh HD:Users:jaabramson:Desktop:wraps_and_capes.jpg  EasyWear Jacket and Pocket Cape – This versatile, practical, and super soft, Janska’s EasyWear Jacket and Pocket Cape is a wardrobe staple. The minimalist design and thoughtful details, such as oversized buttons and generous armholes, can make getting dressed easier for people with gripping, dexterity, bending or reaching challenges. This unique clothing line was actually created by a caregiver who was frustrated with the scarcity of functional, stylish clothing options available to those with limited mobility.
Macintosh HD:Users:jaabramson:Desktop:makinglifeeasier_2264_164922258.jpeg  Easi-Grip Cheese Slicer – The contoured handles of this product were re-molded in a soft feel plastic, which gives a firm comfortable grip in either hand. The stainless steel tools are set at 90 degrees from the handle, keeping the hand and wrist in a neutral stress free position.  Easi-Grip Knives and Kitchen Tools are super comfortable for everyone to use, but will be particularly beneficial for those with gripping and dexterity issues.
mages-1  The Radius Trowel – This lightweight senior-friendly gardening tool features an innovative curved handle (called the Natural Radius Grip), making it user-friendly and comfortable even for people with arthritis of the joints in the hands. Intuitive and easy-to-use, this grip helps enable digging, even in tough soil, without putting excess strain on the hands or wrist.
mages-2  Bathtub Steps – These steps add a great deal of safety and stability when getting in and out of the bathtub. The product provides a four-inch boost, with a slip-resistant textured top and rubberized feet enabling users to confidently climb over the tub wall, even in wet conditions.
mages-3  Two Handle Coffee Mug – This mug features extra large handles that allow for multiple gripping and lifting options for those with decreased dexterity. The two handle ceramic mug has a curved rim that helps prevent drips, and can be used with hot or cold beverages. The mug was designed to provide drinking independence for those with limited strength or other challenges that might prevent them from holding a traditional mug.
Macintosh HD:Users:jaabramson:Desktop:Swim-Headphones.jpg  FiNIS SwiMP3 Headphones  – Swimming is one of the best activities a senior can do for their body!  It’s easy on the joints and works nearly every muscle….all the while taxing their heart and lungs.  But…no doubt – even swimming can get boring at times.  Thankfully, there are these fully submersible headphones that transmit music through ones cheekbones and are said to provide a meditative rhythm to the swimmers stroke.

Protect Your Mobile Devices with Otterbox

November 23, 2013 by Jenni 439 Comments

We pay a lot of money for our mobile devices so it only makes sense to keep them protected from drops, bumps, scratches and everything else under the sun. We have hardwood floors through our home and little man loves to play with our phones and tablets. I can’t let him carry them off unattended because if he drops them on the floor without a case on, it would be the death of my phone or iPad. I mean, I would cry and would hold a burial service and everything.

otterbox logo

Otterbox is well known for their cases for mobile devices. They have several styles and lines of cases for many different brand phones/devices. Their prices are also very good when you consider the protection you get out of it. They’re almost bullet proof. Okay, not really…but you get the idea. Otterbox are a great type of “insurance” for your devices so I definitely recommend buying them as gifts this Christmas!! Especially for your kiddos who tend to drop things easily!

preserver otterbox iphone case

They recently sent me a case for my iPhone from their new Preserver line. I love the Primrose color it came in…I’m just a “pink” girl. One thing I really enjoy about the case is that there isn’t a flap over the camera lens like my other case had. I used to have to pull the plastic cover off the lens before I’d take a picture — now I don’t have to do that. The phone is completely covered…every square inch of it so it’s super duper protected! Love it.

 

reflex otterbox case for ipad

They also sent me an iPad case from their Reflex series. This is a nice case for someone who likes the lighter weight cases. It’s not cumbersome to carry or use, and it’s really easy to install. Keep in mind, with this case, you might want to buy a screen protector because this one doesn’t have one installed with the case. It covers the backside of the iPad and has a front cover that you remove when you’re ready to use it. You can also use the front side when removed, as a stand to work upright.

We’re excited to announce that we’ll be giving away (2) Otterbox cases for a lucky reader. One for their phone and one for their tablet. WhooHoo!!! Our Holiday Gift Guide and Giveaway event will be going live on Black Friday so stay tuned!

Use Energizer Flameless Wax Candles for a Safer Alternative to Regular Candles

November 23, 2013 by Jenni 1,412 Comments

I love to fill my home with yummy smelling candles – but candles that burn are not a safe alternative for those who have pets and kids. You think you’ve got the burning candle pushed back out of the way, but still yet…kids have sticky fingers and it’s like they’ve got those Mr. Gatchet go go extendo arms!! Remember him? Yeah…so I’ve been more in favor of the flameless candles over the last few years.

14711091_Alt02_201309040722

Energizer has a gorgeous line of flameless wax candles that run by battery and are scented. Included in the line are pillar style candles that are 3×4″ and also 3×6″. Not to mention the votives and the tealights. The burn time is approximately 150 hours for the pillars and about 75 hours for the small tealights which is decent!! That’s a lot longer than a real tealight burns for…those babies are gone in NO time! I love the flameless candles and I know all of my friends and family do too. Because they’re not expensive at all, they make great gifts!

Energizer Flameless Wax Candles can help create the perfect holiday ambiance in your home, as well as the gift.  Energizer Flameless Wax Candles have the realistic flicker of a traditional candle, but without the worries of open flames, soot or dripping wax – so safe around pets, window treatments and kids.  These are perfect for everything from home decorating and tablescapes, to stocking stuffers and hostess gifts.  These candles come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors and are a great decorating alternative.

They’re available at Target.com and you can also find them here on Amazon! We’re happy to be partnering with Energizer this holiday season and we’ll be giving away some of these pretty flameless candles during our Holiday Gift Guide and Giveaway event! The shindig kicks off on Black Friday so stay tuned!!

Corolle Creates Sweet Imaginative Play with Baby Dolls and Stroller

November 22, 2013 by Jenni 1,807 Comments

I was a little girl once, many moons ago, and I remember all of my little baby dolls. I remember how I fed them and rocked them and put them to sleep. They went everywhere with me and I loved having tea parties with them! There is so much imaginative play for little girls with dolls and Corolle is a company that I love! They have some of the sweetest little baby dolls and real life like baby strollers.

I was just recently introduced to a company called Lundby, a Swedish company, who makes awesome doll houses!! With the Lundby Smaland doll house, there is plenty of room for play and it’s easy to add an additional floor and a garden for more play! The windows can be opened and get this —  all the rooms are prepared for electricity!! YES! You can add an electric pack to turn all the lights on in the joint!

What I love about Lundby is the craftmanship in their houses and the furniture. A lot of thought went into the creative aspect and building process. I know any little girl would love to have one of these doll houses. Hours and hours of playing, rearranging furniture and decorating!

Britax Car Seat

Keep Your Kids Safe with Britax Car Seats

November 22, 2013 by Jenni 612 Comments

I don’t think there is any cargo more precious than our kids! Don’t you agree? We’ve owned a few different car seats over the years and I really thought that many of the ones on the market were considered “safe”. They are for the most part, don’t get me wrong…but I really suggest doing your homework. I don’t know how many times I’ve read of certain models being recalled for one reason or another.

Britax Car Seat

 

britax car seat pink flowers

After doing a lot of research, we decided that the last seat we were going to buy was the Britax Pinnacle 90. There are many reasons why we chose this seat. I love that it can change from the harness to the “booster” type seat with the regular seat belt since our little man is getting bigger. It has the ClickTight installation system and I love love love the side impact cushion technology. None of the other car seats we had were built like that.

There are just so many different styles that Britax offers and there are so many features for each one. You can visit their site to find the seat that suits your needs best. They even tell you when your child is ready to transition to a booster seat. I have to admit that when I pick little man up from school, it makes me uncomfortable when I see kids much smaller than he is just jumping in the front seat and putting on a seatbelt. It’s just not as safe as it used to be years and years ago when I was smaller. There are just too many distractions for people driving now a’days. Cell phones for instance. Back when I was small there weren’t distractions like that. People just got in cars and drove!

britax

You can find the Britax Pinnacle 90 Car Seat here on Amazon priced around $257 with free shipping. This seat will last a LONG time and will be the last one you’ll need to buy. There are a few different color/pattern choices too! We’re really excited to announce that we’ll be giving away a Britax Pinnacle 90 car seat (winner choose pattern) very soon! Stay tuned for more details about the giveaway and our 2013 Holiday Gift Guide!

Shark sonic duo

Hate to Mop? Check out the Shark Sonic Duo Hard Floor and Carpet Cleaner

November 22, 2013 by Jenni 209 Comments

We have hardwood floors in our whole house. There is only one room that is carpeted and that’s our son’s room, but there is hardwood under that so we can pull the carpet back up anytime. We only had the carpet laid for his safety and comfort when he was born (first time mommy, give me a break! haha).

Shark sonic duo

Anyway, the household job I hate more than anything is mopping. I hate it. So when I was given the opportunity to try the new Shark Sonic Duo Hard Floor and Carpet cleaner, I was like HELLOOOO – uhh, YEAH!! Boy, am I in love with this machine. I have a Shark Navigator vacuum and I love it so I knew that I’d love this new machine too. I’ve owned Shark products for several years.

shark sonic duo bottom with pads

As soon as the box arrived, I put it to work. The Shark Sonic Duo has pads that attach to the bottom and when you turn it on, that baby vibrates so fast that it actually scrubs 1000 times per minute. Uhh, I’m pretty sure I physically can’t scrub back and forth 1000 times in one minute. That’s the beauty of this machine! That’s over 16 powerful scrubs every second!

The Sonic machine removes the stuck on dirt and grime on your floors and carpet BUT it requires almost zero effort on your part. The machine has Airglide Manueverability. That’s what makes it do all the hard work, so fast! So you can imagine why I love this thing! After just one use, my hardwood floors looked cleaner and brighter. It also does an excellent job on small area rugs.

Shark Sonic Duo Pads

The pads that come with the Shark Sonic Duo are machine washable so no more having to wring out those nasty mop heads and no more disposable pads to buy!! The cleaning solutions are very affordable and they last quite awhile. The one thing that I really like about it is that they’re non toxic and safe to use around kids and pets! You just take the old bottle out and replace it with the new one.

Using the Shark Sonic Duo is very comfortable. As mentioned, with the airglide technology, the machine really moves by itself. You just have to hold the handle. The handle does swivel so it reaches well under nooks and crannies. We are very excited because we’ll be giving one of these systems to one lucky reader! Stay tuned for our 2013 Holiday Gift Guide, more info. about that soon!

The Shark Sonic Duo is priced around $219 with Free Shipping here on Amazon right now! It’s totally worth the price tag to save your arms, shoulders and time mopping the floors and cleaning carpets the “old fashioned” way. 🙂

Steiff elephant

Beautiful Baby Toys and Plush Animals from Steiff

November 22, 2013 by Jenni 845 Comments

Don’t forget about the babies this Christmas! Steiff is a German company that specializes in beautiful baby toys and plush animals. From gorgeous teddy bears to baby clothing and alot in between. The story behind the Steiff company is a sweet one. It all began with Margarete Steiff, a young woman whose dreams started with a pin cushion in the shape of an elephant and a lot of determination. Her company started in 1880 and has been going strong ever since. Now Steiff products are available in other countries, including the USA!

Steiff Baby Toys

Steiff creates their beautiful baby toys and plush animals with the highest grade of materials and they follow strict guidelines and inspection. They have several different lines, some even including Mohair. They even have some cute character items like Wizard of Oz and Charlie Brown.

They sent me a couple of their Little Circus items and they are super duper cute!! I got a Little Circus Turtle and a Little Circus Elephant! I’m really excited about the elephant because that was the animal that Margarete Steiff loved and held dear to her heart! These make perfect gifts for baby this Christmas or any time of year. Consider adding them to a baby shower basket, even! Momma will fall in love with them and so will baby. They’re so soft, plush and cuddly!

I know that the prices are a little higher for the Steiff  baby toys and plush animals, compared to what you’d normally pay for a stuffed animal but you have to consider the craftmanship behind it. Some things, especially items that baby will be loving on, kissing and sleeping with, are priceless. These are the great ones that will become an heirloom. They last a lifetime and your kids can pass them on to their kids. Don’t worry…some of their products are machine washable, which is perfect for babies!

Safe, Stylish and Affordable Bedroom Sets for Kids from Delta Children

November 21, 2013 by Jenni 543 Comments

I love to decorate and I’m always re-arranging furniture in my house. Same goes for my son’s bedroom. He’s a little older now so he’s transitioned out of a couple of different beds and I’m always keeping my eyes out for great deals on bedroom sets. I have tons of nephews and nieces and several of them have kids of their own so I’m always looking for great deals on bedroom sets.

I found these really awesome bedroom in a box sets that Delta Children makes. They have the “fun” themes like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Princess Sofia, and Disney Cars just to name a few. They specialize in beds and other toddler furniture as well as nursery sets. When I was at a conference earlier this year, I was able to check out some of Delta’s products. They really focus a lot of their attention on the safety aspects of their products. For instance…they leave a lip open in their toy boxes so that if kids accidentally get inside one of them they can still breathe. You won’t believe how many times my own have been found asleep inside their toy boxes. It happens!

Besides all the safety factors, I also love the durability of their furniture. It’s easy to wash – cause you know how dirty toddler furniture can get – and I love the look. They’re just fun furniture products that the kiddos instantly fall in love with. I’m excited because Delta Children is participating in our 2013 Holiday Gift Guide and Giveaway event and we’ll be giving away a Full Room in a box!! Stay tuned for more information about that soon!

Flips Audio

Amazing Sound with Flips Audio Headphones

November 9, 2013 by Jenni 594 Comments

Finding a great set of headphones can be a difficult challenge. I have found a set that I love…called Flips Audio! These are not your ordinary set of headphones. The cool thing about these is that they’re headphones and speakers all in one. Turn them in for regular headphones and turn them out for rocking speakers!

Flips Audio

I love the style of these. I don’t do well with ear buds. I never could find a set that fit in my ears good so I really REALLY like these Flips Adio headphones. You can choose from either white ones or black ones. They fold up and fit in a sweet little case too. These are USB chargeable headphones and the charge lasts for quite some time. I use them everyday while I work online because I love to listen to music while I work…helps keep me focused. 🙂

The headphone sound quality is amazing!! When they’re in speaker mode, the sound quality is just as awesome! I turn on my favorite playlist and turn them on to speaker mode when I clean. I can hear the music all over the house when it’s playing. These are a great gift idea for anyone on your list who loves music!! You can find these here on Amazon for $119 and FREE shipping!! Keep an eye out…we’ll be giving a set of these away for our 2013 Holiday Gift Guide and Giveaway event!!

Logitech Keyboard Folio

Tech Geek Gift Idea – Logitech Keyboard Folio for iPads

November 9, 2013 by Jenni 135 Comments

I spend a lot of time online from both my laptop and my mobile devices. I really enjoy working from my iPad because it’s not as restrictive as my laptop is but I really wanted to find a nice wireless keyboard. Logitech offers a really cool Keyboard Folio for iPads that fits the bill, plus it’s in it’s own case.

logitech keyboard folio

The Logitech Keyboard Folio is perfect for anyone. It’s also a great option for kids and teens who use iPads to do their homework. The keyboard helps them be more efficient. It’s easy to use straight out of the box. You just put the iPad into the folio and turn it on, using the Bluetooth Logitech keyboard on your device.

The keyboard features EasyType keys for comfortable typing plus iPad shortcut keys. You just open it to wake it up and close it for sleep mode. Magnets hold the iPad in typing mode and keeps the folio closed…or use it in the browsing mode. I love the functionality of it. It’s very easy to use and the keyboard is the perfect size. I’ve had some others that were super small and I was always making mistakes. Here are some other great points about the Logitech Keyboard Folio:

Logitech Keyboard Folio

  • Protective Keyboard Folio for iPad 2, 3rd and 4th generation: Full wraparound protection for both the front and back of your iPad
  • Integrated EasyType Bluetooth keyboard: Full-size keys give you the feel and comfort of a traditional typing experience for your iPad
  • Striking style: Designed to perfectly complement iPad with a choice of rich colors and fabrics to match your personal style
  • Convenient magnetic stand and closure: Holds your iPad at the ideal angle for typing; keeps the Folio closed when you are on the go; auto wakes/sleeps your iPad when opened/closed
  • Long-lasting rechargeable power: Get up to three months of power on a full charge. Includes USB charging cable for easy recharging while you type (*Based on average use of two hours per day)

If your kids have been asking for a bluetooth keyboard for their iPads, this is one I’d highly recommend because it comes with the case too.  You can find the Logitech Keyboard folio here on Amazon for around $99 with free shipping. The one I have is black but they have several other colors as well. They have lots of great reviews! Stay tuned — we’re promoting this item in our 2013 Holiday Gift Guide! We’ll be giving one away around Black Friday so keep a look out!!

Flipeez Hats are Warm and Cozy, Perfect for Halloween #Flipeez

October 12, 2013 by Jenni 306 Comments

Flipeez

My little man loves hats so anytime he sees new ones like these Flipeez Hats, he wants one! They’re fun, they’re cute and whimsy!! They’re warm and fleecy on the inside and the outside is a tight knit so keeping cold air out will be a “breeze”. Their looks aren’t the only cute thing about them. When you squeeze the puff ball at the end of the tassle, you’ll get a little “action” out of the Flipeez Hats!

We have the Blue Puppy Flipeez Hat and when little man squeezes the puff ball, his ears flip up! It’s just too cute and fun to watch. They’re made one size fits all and they do fit nicely! The hats have plenty of stretch for bigger kids as well. Think Halloween…and finish your kiddos costumes off with a Flipeez Hat! It’ll keep their heads warm while walking around the neighborhood collecting all that candy swag!!

Eli with Flipeez Hat

(How Cute is this??!! He has on the cute Flipeez Hat with a Lorax T-Shirt and Thomas the Tank engine pajama pants!!
We were just lounging around being lazy!! That’s what weekends are all about, right?!)

Eli with Flipeez Hat 2

When winter comes, I know Eli will be wearing his hat out to the school bus in the mornings or while playing out in the snow!! I’ve heard we’re going to get lots of snow this year…at least that’s the future forecast. The fleece material is so nice and thick that it will really keep the cold out. Plus, we just can’t get over how cute they are!

I’ve got several young nieces and nephews who would love these. I think I know what they’ll be getting for Christmas this year from us! They have a few different ones to choose from. Check these out!

Disclosure: I received free product from Flipeez in order to facilitate my review. All opinions are 100% my own and honest, as always.
