2017 Airplanes & Dragonflies Christmas Gift Guide: Macaron for Hair Review & #Giveaway (2 Winners)! (U.S.) Ends 11/7 #HolidayGiftGuide #ChristmasGiftGuide #StockingStuffer

Our obsession with being French is reaching new heights…literally. Macarons are available in six different flavors to suit every personality. Raspberry, Black Licorice Framboise, Mint Citron, Lemon Pistachio, Rose Petal, and Lavender.

Macaron for Hair® is the Parisian-inspired hairbrush that is every bit as chic as it is travel-friendly.

Part high-end detangler and part compact mirror, the bite-sized Macaron for Hair gently and quickly smooths tangles in half the time of traditional brushes. That means less breakage, less frizz, and no more looking like a disheveled mess after a lengthy flight.

The pop-on/pop-off cover works double time as a bristle protector and compact mirror—perfect for travel and on-the-go styling! Strategically sturdy radial bristles are combined with a lightweight ergonomic design for optimum comfort, control, and tangle taming for every hair age, type, and texture.

Its petite size and protective cover make it the perfect stowaway in your purse or carry-on luggage.

Results: Fast and gentle detangling, without the breakage and pulling caused by other brushes. Hair is smoother, frizz-free, and full of shine.

Suggested Usage: Macaron for Hair® works magic on every hair age including children’s hair, be it wet or dry, curly or straight, thick or thin, real or synthetic.

This is how big/small it is in my five year old daughter's hand!

My girls using their Macarons. Yes, my youngest is a ham!

My Review:
The outside of the case that looks like a big Macaron cookie is super soft. But not so soft that you can't hold onto it. It doesn't slip out of your hand easily. These are great for little hands and for traveling. We are planning a trip next year and my girls can take their own brushes with them and I won't have to brush their hair because they can do it themselves! Little girls, teenagers and college students will love these! They fit easily into purses, backpacks and more. These are also pretty tough. My girls have dropped theirs on the floor a few times, on the hard floor! I thought that they were going to break the mirrors. But they haven't.

Purchase your Macaron for Hair travel brush here: https://www.milkandsass.com/macaron/ or on amazon.com. These retail for $12.99 on both websites.

Laurie Berkner's Favorite Classic Kids' Songs CD #Review & #Giveaway! (US/CAN) Ends 11/8 #HolidayGiftGuide #StockingStuffer

Laurie explains, "I made my first recording, Whaddaya Think Of That? because I wanted families to have a way to listen at home to the songs I was singing with their kids in the classroom, especially the ones I had written, which they wouldn't have know otherwise.  I included traditional songs, too, because I wanted some of the music to be very familiar.  With each consecutive album, my own originals became more and more of what the kids wanted to sing, so I got away from recording the traditional songs I grew up with.  Now, with Laurie Berkner's Favorite Classic Kids' Songs, I'm doing the opposite and exploring many of the songs that were so formative for me and helpful in my early days as a music teacher."

A former preschool teacher by day and indie rocker by night, Laurie Berkner started marketing her music more than fifteen years ago from her living room on her own label, Two Tomatoes Records.  She is now widely recognized as a pioneer in the "kindie" music genre and was crowned "the undisputed queen of kindie rock" by USA Today.  The Wall Street Journal noted, "Her music is distinctive because it speaks to kids without talking down to them, charming youngsters without boring grown-ups."

Laurie was the first artist to ever appear in music videos on Nick Jr. and was featured in nearly all the episodes of the channel's Jack's Big Music Show (now available on the NOGGIN video subscription app). She currently stars in the animated musical short-form series Sing it, Laurie! on the Sprout preschool channel, makes regular appearances on Sprout's Sunny Side Up Show, and is a frequent presence on SiriusXM's Kids Place Live channel.

The Laurie Berkner Band features: Laurie Berkner, vocals/guitar; Susie Lampert, keyboards; Brady Rymer, bass; and Bobby Golden, drums/percussion.  Visit Laurie Berkner's website for more about the band, including press photos and tour dates. 

The legendary Laurie Berkner — crowned "the queen of children's music" by People Magazine — released her tenth album on October 23rd. Laurie Berkner's Favorite Classic Kids' Songs will be a two-disc set including 51 well-loved, traditional children's songs, plus six "bonus" tracks of favorite Laurie Berkner originals. This is the only album Laurie has ever created that is comprised almost exclusively of traditional songs.

Says Laurie, “I grew up with many of these songs, and I’m sure parents and grandparents will remember a lot of them from their own childhoods. I’m excited about sharing these classics with kids who may not have heard them before and also introducing my versions of songs that might already be family favorites. In the true folk tradition, I’ve added some of my own lyrics and my own spin to many of these traditional songs. I’ve kept a folk or rock feel for most of the numbers, with a little reggae thrown in here and there for fun!”

My Review:
I LOVE Laurie Berkner's Favorite Classic Kids' Songs CD! I too grew up listening to many of these songs! My father loves trains and he taught me "The Little Red Caboose" and "I've Been Working on the Railroad," and more! It's been fun listening to this CD with my three children in the car and teaching them the songs too! Some of the songs are changed up a little bit. To me, they sound a little jazzy and it makes them more fun to listen to. Some of the songs are "Amazing Grace," "The Wheels on the Bus," "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" (which my children loved) and "There's a Hole in the Bucket" (my 6 year old daughter and I were busting up laughing after this song was over!).

Laurie Berkner's Favorite Classic Kids' Songs CD is now available for purchase on amazon.com.

CleanSmart (Alcohol Free) Hand Sanitizer Review and Giveaway! (U.S.) Ends 12/10 #ChristmasGiftGuide #StockingStuffers (Rafflecopter)

Cold weather is here! That means germs are here too. Which means more hand sanitizer, and drier and drier hands. Right? Wrong!! I just discovered a great new hand sanitizer that uses ZERO hand drying alcohol. It’s natural, odor free, hypoallergenic, and my new number one weapon in the fight against cold, flu, and all the other nasty germs and viruses out there this time of year! CleanSmart alcohol free hand sanitizer saves skin from the drying effects of alcohol in all those other sanitizers. Check it out at http://www.cleansmarthome.com/.

I don't like that my children are constantly using hand sanitizer where ever we go. They especially use it a lot at school. Whatever happened to just washing our hands with soap and water? Why put alcohol on our hands several times a day? I thought that wasn't safe to do in mass quantities? Well, our children are using it in school several times a day. Even when we are out and about somewhere, my kids ask now for hand sanitizer, and I tell them no, we will go wash our hands instead. Now I keep these in my purse or in the diaper bag, just in case we are somewhere like the park, where there is no bathroom close enough to go to before we go to the car and head home or to run errands.

Here are some other reasons you’re going to love CleanSmart products:

• Kills 99.9% of Germs, including Norovirus!
• Safe enough to use on infants and toddlers.
• CleanSmart products never contain Triclosan, BZK or Alcohol.
• No strong odors! Clean Smart is virtually fragrance free.
• CleanSmart products are always Hypoallergenic and are gentle enough to use on sensitive skin and hands with open sores.
• Thoughtfully manufactured in Minnesota with the environment in mind.

Safari Ltd. (#Toys) Review and Giveaway! (U.S.) Ends 12/2 (Rafflecopter) #ChristmasGiftGuide #StockingStuffers

My six and four year old children love little toys! Whether it's little blocks that fit together, little animals, little people, cars, trucks, small trains, they love to play with them! So we keep the little toys from the Safari Ltd. TOOBS in our children's little toddler sized backpacks for when we have a doctor's appointment, when we are going out to dinner some place without a play area, when we are going anywhere that we will be far from home, and more! These little replicas help children to play, and to use their imaginations! Plus, the TOOBS make awesome stocking stuffers!

 

These little animals (Pets TOOB) and trains (Steam Train TOOB) have come in handy for my children to play and to keep them busy, more times than I can count. It's also really neat to listen to my four year old daughter role play with them! She is asking me about her new animals and what kinds of animals are they. She now has a Mr. Ferret, Mr. Frog, and a Mr. Hamster! She was playing with them after school today because they are all still new to her.

I took a close up photo of the steam train engine, check out the details! Even the coal car has tiny little coal painted on top.

I also checked out two horse replicas, they are beautiful and so life like! I am saving them for my four year old daughter for Christmas!

Check out the Safari Ltd. website for some really beautiful FREE Coloring pages that you can print to help keep your little ones busy during the holidays! They also have Free E-Cards, Desktop Wallpaper, and Desktop Calenders! FREE Shipping on ALL orders over $50.00!
