Little Pim Review

I was excited to be given the opportunity to review Little Pim. "Little Pim is an award-winning foreign language immersion DVD series for babies, toddlers and preschoolers. They offer three theme-based DVDs that use our unique Entertainment Immersion Method™, which combines animation and real kids, teaching simple words and phrases for everyday activities". Their are 10 different languages to choose from such as Spanish, French, Chinese, Italian, Japanese, Hebrew, English (ESL), German, Arabic and Russian.  

We received the first DVD in the series called Eating and Drinking. Little Pim and friends is showing little audiences how to make and eat food while discovering new tastes. The minute I received the DVD, I placed it in the DVD player and played it for Sophia. She was totally intrigued by the Panda Bear, Little Pim. I love the fact how they bring both animation and human interaction in the program and the music is cute, not annoying at all.  Little Pim comes in 7 episodes per DVD and each episodes lasts for 5 minutes. Your little one will learn more than 60 words and phrases about eating and drinking. The DVD is very well made and my little one gets so excited seeing Little Pim appear on the screen and is repeating all the words that are being said in the program. At dinner time, I can hear Sophia repeating some of the phrases Little Pim was saying or she says she would like to eat something she saw on the program. She keeps telling me, "Play it again, mama."  

All I can say is that I am quite impressed with the DVD, and I know that if your a parent and want to teach your child English or introduce another language in household, I highly recommend this program.  Lilttle Pim did not disappoint and it won't disappoint you either. All I hope for is that they create a Dutch program so I can teach my little one.  I know she would definitely enjoy it.   
Now, hurry and visit Little Pim and pick up a DVD and believe me, you'l love it as much as we do.

Dazzling Craft Stick Jewelry Boxes!

Are you ready for some more fun craft projects?  It's been too long that I have worked on a fun craft project with my little one, so I decided to make some craft stick jewelry boxes. My little one loves jewelry. I am always catching her in my jewelry. She is always trying on all my necklaces, bracelets and rings, usually all at onetime. So I thought what can be better then making your own handmade jewelry box.    Something that she will treasure and adore and it will be definitely be a keepsake.

Supplies:
Craft Sticks
Craft Glue
Paint
Paint Brushes
Apron
Sparkling Gems/Jewels
Newspaper/cloth
Wax-Paper

Gather all your supplies together, so you can easily reach for them. Place the apron on your little ones, so they won't mess up their beautiful attire.  We first started off with the lid and the base of the jewelry box. Count out 12 craft sticks and place them side by side next to one another on your work table. Glue one craft stick across the top and glue the other stick across the bottom (like you are making a fence). This will hold the sticks securely in place. Make sure your repeat this process twice, since you will use one for the lid and the other one for the base. If you're working with little ones, make sure you show them how to do it first. I showed Sophia how to do it first and then she got the hang of it and was off working on her lid and base.

Second, place 2 craft sticks across from one another (one will be on the left and the other the right side) lay another set of 2 craft sticks across from the first 2 in the opposite direction.  Reach for your craft glue and place a tiny bit of glue at the tip of the sticks where they touch at the corners.  This will create a beautiful square. Keep alternating and repeating this process until you reach a desire height for your jewelry box. Sophia was so into placing the glue on the ends craft sticks, that I did not even realize how high she made her jewelry box.

Once all of your jewelry boxes are finished, place them aside to dry completely. Our jewelry boxes were completely dry and we were ready to decorate them. Without any hesitation, the little one reached for her paint brushes and started to paint her jewelry box.  Now, it was time to set it aside once more to dry off.

We all wanted to make our jewelry boxes to look absolutely fabulous, so we gathered some sparkling gemstones and glued away. Place them on top of your lid and create your own design. You can use gemstones, glitter, stickers or anything else you may think would look good. Have fun with it and keep adding more gemstones.  Sophia really liked this part of the process. It made her happy, which of course made me happy.

 

Once, the jewelry boxes were decorated with all these luxury gemstones and was dried off, it was time to place a photo in one of them.  I love how you can personalize your own jewelry box. Well, here you  have it. We made several Dazzling Craft Stick Jewelry boxes and now it is your turn to make some of your own. These are perfect to give as a gift or any other special occasion. Have fun, enjoy and remember to come back again for more exciting craft projects.

Sincerely,

La Cense Beef Review and Giveaway-CLOSED.

My family and I were given the opportunity to do a review on this amazing company called La Cense Beef.   If your sitting there wondering, who is La Cense Beef? Well, sit back and relax.  "La Cense Beef is a  direct-to-consumer beef operation that raises and sells all-natural, pure 100% grass fed beef, no pesticides, antibiotics or hormones.  All the beef comes directly from our pristine 88,000-acre ranch in Southwest Montana to your door".  We received steaks, frankfurters and several burgers patties which all came frozen and nicely labeled in a large styrofoam cooler.

Grass fed beef is lower in fat and 

calories than traditional beef.

My husband is the one that knows how to prepare the steaks in our house, so he took over the cooking duties, while I of course had to do the dishes.  The steaks were lightly seasoned and set aside to marinate.  You cannot have steaks without some sides dishes, so we made some nice roasted carrots and tasty mashed potatoes.  How about that?  The steaks were ready to be grilled. The sizzling sounds and smell of the steaks made me drool with anticipation.  In no time the steaks were done, and it was time to taste a piece of La Cense Beef 100% grass fed steak. I must say it was juicy and excellent.  The steaks were tender and scrumcious and even the little one enjoyed it too.  The grass fed beef tastes more natural than the industrial beef itself.  We had a bar-b-cue for Memorial day and cooked the hamburgers and frankfurters. The burgers were delicious and the frankfurters were outstanding. Grandma remarked about how the frankfurters tasted just like the ones she used to eat when she was a teenager.  

Here is a little bit more about Grass Fed Beef : "It is beef that comes from cattle that feed exclusively on a grass and plant based diet. La Cense beef is true grass fed beef, in that grain is never introduced to their diet. Grass fed beef is higher in nutrients and Omega-3s, which are sourced from the grass. The Omega-3 content of beef goes down when grain is introduced to the cow's diet. Therefore, grass fed grass finished La Cense Beef is among the most healthy beef on the market.   Grass fed beef is higher in nutrients and Omega-3s, which are sourced from the grass. The Omega-3 content of beef goes down when grain is introduced to the cow's diet. Therefore, grass fed grass finished La Cense Beef is among the most healthy beef on the market".  

I think that La Cense Beef is a great choice for those that love beef. It's all natural, good for you and best of all tastes remarkable. La Cense Beef is running a special promotion for Show Me Mama readers and receive 20% Off Three Special Packs, plus free shipping on orders over $95.  A deal you can't resist, especially with Father's day coming up, I mean what Dad would not love some fresh, all natural, grass fed Black Angus beef!
