Have you every been to a drive-in movie? It can be a lot of fun, especially for the kids. This week at Camp Warner Bros, the little campers are creating their very own drive-in movie experience at home. And the featured movie is Tom & Jerry Movie: The Fast & The Furry, now available on Digital, Blu-ray & DVD.
About the Movie:
Tom and Jerry enter an extreme car race competition called the "Super Race" in order to win the grand prize of a beautiful, dream mansion! Driving suped-up hot rods that can adapt to any environment (land, sea or air), they compete in this wild race around the world, encountering
famous landmarks along the way and leaving chaos in their wake.
As one of the best-loved cartoon duos, Tom & Jerry are so good at bringing back all those sweet childhood memories. My heart is filled with joy and excitement when I see that my kids love Tom & Jerry no less than I did years ago. I guess that's the power of a classic. Just as its title suggests, Tom & Jerry Movie: The Fast & The Furry is fast-paced, action-packed and full of hilarious moments that are sure to bring out some good laughs from viewers of any age. It's the perfect pick for a relaxing family movie night.
We use dry toilet paper every day. Have you ever wished there were baby wipes designed for adults? Cottonelle has made it possible with their revolutionary Flushable Moist Wipes, which help make you feel cleaner and fresher than with toilet paper alone. Cottonelle Fresh® Flushable Moist Wipes are even better than baby wipes in that they are sewer and septic safe, and break up like toilet paper after flushing.
Cottonelle brand has also improved the dispenser with its proprietary OneTouch® technology, which makes it easier for everyone to use. For a limited time only, each new OneTouch dispensing tub comes with a FREE Cottonelle EasyReach™ hanger featuring 3M Command™ brand strips for easy installation and removal.
Last week, I received a tub of Cottonelle Flushable Moist Wipes including an EasyReach hanger for review, along with a 12-pack of Cottonelle Ultra. The wipes are soft and lightly scented. With no alcohol, no poke-through accidents or unpleasant residue, they leave skin fresh and clean. Better yet, they can be used outside the bathroom with decency. They are great for a quick cleanup after workout. They come in handy when your cleansing towelettes or baby wipes run out. I'd definitely recommend you to add Cottonelle Flushable Moist Wipes to your daily routine.
The new packaging has a nice design. The tub is easy to pop open and closes tightly to seal in moisture. It's convenient to use both at home and on the go. The EasyReach™ hanger is very easy to mount and can be safely removed without doing any damage to the wall.
Last year the Cottonelle brand launched the "Get Fresh with a Friend" campaign to get America hooked on fresh Flushable Moist Wipes. It was so successful that they're reintroducing the campaign for a second year. Until September 1st you can receive a $1.00 off coupon for a tub of Fresh Moist Wipes by sharing "fresh rewards"at GetFreshWithaFriend.com. Take this opportunity to try out Flushable Moist Wipes yourself and to let your friend know about this great money saving offer.
Disclosure: I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Cottonelle and received product and a promotional item as a thank you for my participation.

I can hardly wait to tell you about the latest addition to my collection of fairy wands--Clorox ToiletWand--a unique, innovative new product that came out right in time for spring cleaning!
Featuring disposable heads loaded with Clorox cleaner, the Clorox ToiletWand System cleans and disinfects your toilet bowl at the same time. Why is disinfecting so important? Bacteria gets released into the air every time you flush. Plus yucky stuff builds up easily in traditional toilet brushes. the Clorox ToiletWand System solves this problem by killing 99.9% of germs commonly found in toilets while eliminating odor.
The Clorox ToiletWand System just proved to make cleaning my toilet fast and effortless. It was so exciting to see my toilet bowls sparkle after a flick (...well, several flicks, to be more exact) of the wrist with the Wand. This magical transformation can happen to your bathroom in as little as four simple steps! Watch the how-to video below to get an idea of how the system works.
Spring Cleaning is well underway in our home. My favorite strategy and I think many moms would agree is to break down a major task into smaller, more manageable ones. Taking one room or one area of a room at one time is more practical and makes cleaning less of an unpleasant chore. In fact, I love to keep my house neat and tidy. I just wish I had more time to spend on cleaning.
Having the best cleaning tools and products on hand helps save time and effort. Take the Clorox ToiletWand for example. With its sleek design, the flexible cleaning head reaches more surface area in the bowl and under the rim than traditional toilet brushes. The cleaner in the disposable head quickly releases itself into the bowl without the need for a separate spray cleaner. The used head can be tossed in trash can with the push of a button. Your hands stay clean and you no longer have to worry about cleaning the brush itself.
It's also important to mobilize the entire family for spring cleaning. Many hands make light work! Split rooms between you and your spouse (not necessarily evenly) is a good start. If your kids are old enough to clean their own rooms, give them the chance to do so. Encourage younger kids to help with some easy tasks appropriate for their age.
Would you like to see Clorox TolietWand do magic in your bathroom? You may buy one with this $3 off coupon or try to win one from the giveaway that follows!

My Let's Play party isn't all about toys and kids gear. Moms deserve a special treat too! Today's party favor is sponsored by SlimPerfect, an expert in figure-flattering Swimwear and Activewear. Being a mom herself, Casey Kurutz, founder of SlimPerfect, knows what moms and women in general look for in a high quality swimsuit: more coverage and concealment for the unwanted bulges. That's exactly what SlimPerfect products help you accomplish!
Made in the USA with top of the line Brazilian fabric, SlimPerect Swimwear & Activewear provides a great option for active women, who want to look their best at the pool or the beach, in the gym, or on the tennis court. They are good for ALL body types between sizes 8-18. There are so many adorable styles to choose from that I'm sure you will have no problem finding a piece you love!
Although I was too shy to enter the BlogHer SlimPerfect Little Black Dress Contest, Casey kindly offered me the opportunity to review an item of my choice from her store. How exciting! I happily chose the slightly altered version of the Little Black Dress (as shown in the picture above). The sizing chart was really helpful. Not only does the dress I received fit me perfectly, but its slimming effects are UNBEATABLE! The moment hubby saw me in the new SlimDress, he exclaimed:"Let's go to the pool honey. Go now!"
I felt really sad when I tried in vain to stuff myself into my favorite pre-pregnancy suit. For quite some time I'd rather watch my husband and son playing in the pool than keep worrying about my look in the bathing suit. Luckily, SlimPerfect came to my rescue and eased my poolside anxiety. My favorite features of the dress include:
Sewn in bike shorts that provide additional taming and coverage for the thigh area;
Tummy tamer panel lined with powernet mesh to provide more control; and
Removable molded gel-filled bra cups that provide the support I need.
Can't wait to try SlimPerfect yourself? You may want to act now because the huge sale I told you earlier has been extended through the end of August. Use promo code "BlogHer" at checkout to receive an additional 50% off already reduced sale prices! Woot, woot! Don't wait!
Not quite convinced of the SlimPerfect magic? Check out these before/after pictures. You may recognize quite a few well-loved mom bloggers there.
The Giveaway
Casey has generously offered to give one of my lucky readers a $50 Gift Certificate to her store. Coupled with current sales, the gift certificate will allow the winner to choose virtually any piece of gourmet from SlimPerfect.

Debi Derryberry, the multi-talented children's entertainer and voice-over artist, has released her new music CD "Debi Derryberry's Baby Banana" in early May. She is well known for her award-winining kid's music CDs "Very Derryberry" and "What A Way To Play". She is also the author of the children's book "Baby Banana and the Licorice Tree". Even if you have never heard Debi sing, you are probably familiar with her sweet and angelic voice, which is best known as "the voice of Jimmy Neutron" and has appeared in popular movies like "Ice Age 2" and "The Wild".
I'm very happy to have received a copy of the "Debi Derryberry's Baby Banana" CD for review. The tropically-themed CD is named after Debi's cute preschool character, Baby Banana and the songs are centered around the loving family of Baby Banana, Momma Duck and Daddy Gorrila. My general impressions is that the CD provides a great mix of everything-new and old songs, fast and slow rhythms, hip and traditional music genres, and songs and stories.
The CD includes 5 new tracks-I Wish You Could Fly With Me, Happiest Day, Oodle the Orangutan, Tropical Fruit, I'm A Chameleon, and 4 popular Debi's songs from previous recordings-Baby Banana, Scoops of Ice Cream, Freckle Face Freddie, and Slumberland. While most of the songs are great to dance to, Slumberland is a great lullaby that helps put kids to sleep. With an interesting blend of calypso, reggae, jazz and folk rock genres, the songs has brought to life Baby Banana's fantasy world of exotic animal friends and tantalizing tastes, sights and smells. The CD also includes a bonus track of Debi reading her storybook "Baby Banana and the Licorice Tree.
The "Debi Derryberry's Baby Banana" CD is intended for children aged 2-6 years old, but I think it's entertaining for younger babies and adults too. My son loves listening to the happy songs and flipping through the colorful lyrics book, although he has yet to understand their meanings. His favorite song appears to be the title song Baby Banana because every time I replayed that song, he ran closer to the CD-player and started to dance. Listening to the CD also helps me relax and cheer up. My favorites are Oodle the Orangutan and I Wish You Could Fly With Me. Overall, it's a great music CD to add to your collection. Your kids will love it!
If you're interested in learning more about Debi, you may visit her website http://www.debiderryberry.com/, join her Fan Club, and watch videos showing her perform live in front of kids.
AminoGenesis is a leading skin care company best known for their amino acid-based anti-aging products. Amino acids are natural organic compounds that make up all essential skin proteins like collagen, elastin, lipids and cellular tissues. Amino acids are the main component of the Natural Moisturizing Factor, which performs the function of holding and regulating the water content in our skin.The original AminoGenesis formula contains 17 plant-derived amino acids essential to healthy skin and is backed by over 10 years of research and testing.
Summertime is especially challenging to our delicate skin because excessive sun exposure may change the DNA of our skin and deplete naturally occurring antioxidants found within the body. To help us ward off harmful free radicals and slow down the aging process, AminoGenesis has developed Perfect Reflection: the most advanced anti-aging serum that combines 4 powerful antioxidants with the unique AminoGenesis formula.
The 4 antioxidants include:
Vitamin A: Improves skin elasticity, texture, firmness and smoothness. Vitamin C: Protects collagen from oxidation, reduces dark spots, helps the skin remain soft and supple. Vitamin D: Helps improve skin feel and texture and is an important factor in epidermal cell turnover. CoQ10: This element is the spark that helps cells create energy and helps preserve vitamin E.
Thanks to KMR Communications, I was given the opportunity to test this luxurious, beautifully packaged product on myself. I told you before that I have very dry skin. I really love the feel of the serum and the way it keeps my face hydrated. The water-based formula pertains to my moisturizing needs. My skin feels so soft and smooth after applying the serum, which absorbs and dries easily. It's a high quality product good for all skin types.
The Giveaway
AminoGenesis has generously offered to give one of my lucky readers a bottle of Perfect Reflection Anti-Aging Serum for free! That's a $69 value! Woot, woot!

It's extremely important to protect our kids from sun exposure during the summer. Applying sunscreen, wearing protective clothing, and playing in the shade are all great strategies to help reduce the risk of sunburn for children playing outdoors. Yet it is not always easy to find a kid sunscreen that's both safe and effective. I'm so glad to be introduced to KINeSYS sunscreen , which includes a dedicated product line for kids and is good to use for the entire family.
KINeSYS sunscreens are unique in many aspects. They are the only sunscreens that are 100% carbon neutral (manufactured with clean and sustainable electricity generated by wind power), 100% cruelty free (not tested on animals and certified vegan), and 100% recyclable (packaged in BPA-free, fully recyclable bottles). While providing broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection, they are FREE from oil, alcohol, PABA and preservative. They are water and sweat-resistant. They are also hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic. With all these great features, KINeSYS products can be trusted to work for sensitive skin users.
KINeSYS has generously offered me the opportunity to sample their KIDS SPF 30 Sunscreen Spray and Girl SPF 30 Sunscreen Spray. The bright colored bottles immediately attracted my son's attention. The fun-shaped bottles are also very easy for the little hands to grip. It's in fact the first time I've ever tried any spray sunscreen. Every time I started to apply the conventional cream suncreen, my son tried very hard to push the tube away. Apparently, he doesn't like the greasiness. By contrast, he giggled when I sprayed KINeSYS KIDS on his arms and legs. He enjoyed this novel experience. The application was fast, easy, and effortless. I'm happy to learn that the non-aerosol sprayer used by KINeSYS is eco-friendly! I like that the kids sunscreen is fragrance-free, non-irritating, fast-drying, and leaves no residue on skin.
The GIRL spray is the latest addition to the kids product line. Packaged in a girly pink bottle, it's gently scented with vanilla green tea (What a sweet choice!). Like the other KINeSYS sunscreens, it has all the great features I have summarized earlier. But it's designed with the active female in mind :)
KINeSYS sunscreens are award-winning too. The KIDS spray I reviewed above recently won the iParenting Greatest Products of 2008 Award, the PTPA Green Award 2009, PTPA Award 2008, and the Mom's Best Award.
If you're looking for the best sunscreen for kids, don't miss out KINeSYS. You may start with a small bottle at $6.99 or go straight to the value bottle that provides over 700 sprays at only $18.99.
One major summer fun for kids and adults alike is to play in the water. It feels so great to be soaked in cool water against the burning heat, but it's not so cool when you get your ears all wet. Water trapped in the ears may lead to ear infection known as Swimmer's Ears. I suffered from ear infection for time to time. I know exactly how painful it could get. I'm so happy to find ClearEars, an innovative water-absorbing earplugs developed by Cirrus Healthcare Products LLC. I can finally stop worrying too much about getting water into my ears when I'm in the pool or in the shower. Made of an FDA-approved polymer, ClearEars are soft, comfortable earplugs that used after swimming or bathing to draw out water trapped in the ears. They are safe for both kids and adults. The samples I received for review came in a compact carrying case, which is great for use on the go. The earplugs are very easy to be placed into the ears and absorb water in only 5-10 minutes. My ears felt instantly relieved from trapped water after I applied the plugs. This revolutionary device is clearly more convenient and comfortable than conventional ear drops. ClearEars are also alcohol free. Although ClearEars are for one-time use only, they are earth-friendly. You may cut them up after use and add them to the soil for your house plants to help retain moisture. They can be purchased at http://www.cirrushealthcare.com/ or at major retailers including CVS.
Besides ClearEars, Cirrus has quite a few ear care products that work for different occasions. I look forward to trying the EarPlanes, which are designed relieve ear discomfort caused by air pressure on the plane.
The Giveaway
Cirrus Healthcare would like one of my lucky readers to try their patent pending ClearEars for free!
Required Entry: Visit Cirrus website and leave a comment telling me which product you'd like to try other than the ones covered in my review, i.e. ClearEars and EarPlanes. (Please leave a valid email address in your comment or make sure one is visible in your blogger profile).

Bella Sara is a fun-filled trading card game designed for children ages 5 and up, featuring horse-themed fantasy cards complemented by the online magical kingdom of North of North. Originally launched in Denmark, it is known to be the "most successful trading card product ever developed for girls", with over 83 million cards sold since it was first introduced to the U.S. in 2007. Earlier this month, Bella Sara debuted Royalty, the ninth series in this popular brand to expand the imagination of little girls with royal realms and fantastic castles.
I have never entered the world of trading cards until I received two packs of Bella Sara Royalty cards for review. I have to say these cards are adorable and high-quality. Each pack contains 5 horse, character, or treasure cards, 1 sticker card, 1 temporary tattoo card, and 1 Bella Sara Ticket card. Instead of 5-7 codes, as in previous series, only one Ticket card with one code is included in each card pack. The secret code can be activated on the Bella Sara website to unlock such goodies as horses, horseshoes, castle rooms and prizes. Besides their entertainment value, the cards are educational as well. Each Bella Sara card features one inspirational message. I like these messages on my cards:
Read a good book. Let it inspire you to write a story of your own.
Give someone a good laugh. You may make a new friend.
You can always get the help you need. Just ask for it.
The Bella Sara website is a safe online magical world to enhance the user experience of Bella Sara trading cards. It provides an entirely private environment with no interaction with other users. Parents can also use the Parental Control feature to adjust your child's level of interaction with the website. There is also FREE access to a variety of online activities, including jigsaw puzzles, coloring pages, wallpapers, printable posters, etc.
The new Royalty collection has a suggested retail price of only $2.99 per pack and is available at BellaSara.com, Target, Wal-Mart, Amazon, Toys'R'Us, and many other booksellers and toy stores. You may learn more about the Royalty card set here.
The Giveaway
Thanks to Team Mom, I'm able to give away to one of my lucky readers a Bella Sara Prize Pack featuring Royalty (1 pack), Miniatures (1 pack) and Treasures (1 pack) collections.
