We are often going to the hospital and one of the ones we go to for my husbands heart is a pediatric hospital and we do see sick kid's all the time and it breaks my heart to see the kids like that. We have also seen tons of pictures they send in and post on the walls also. Every since me and my husband met we see this all the time when we go in I wish there was more people can do to help.





Florida — Nathan  
UF Health Shands Children’s Hospital
Mitochondrial Disease
Age 6 (as of 11/30/14) 









“Lively” and “energetic” are common descriptors of any young boy. But Nathan’s spirited demeanor comes from deep within and with help from his hospital, as he was born with a condition that depletes vital energy levels.

Just a few weeks before his first birthday, Nathan was diagnosed with mitochondrial disease, a degenerative disorder that attacks the mitochondria — the source that creates enough energy for the body’s systems to sustain function and support growth. Nathan’s seven specialists ensure he stays on track with oxygen supplementation, daily medication and the placement of a gastric stimulator in his stomach — which he refers to as Ironman’s “arc light.”

While his body may not always have the proper energy, Nate’s fun-loving personality stands in stark contrast to his disease. He has no problem keeping up with his two older sisters, he loves playing on his iPad and he is the biggest Gator fan Florida has to offer.

Rainbow Bandz Loom Refill Pack Review



Right now Loom Bands are so popular with the kids and I know that my daughter likes them. She still is a little young for them but I think if she took the time to sit down and try she would be ok. She is 5 and will be 6 in January but I think kids a little older lets say 9 or 10 they will be perfect. We still love these a lot and as I am working wit her she is getting better. We don't have a loom board so we do ours by hand. 


Rainbow Bandz Loom Refill Pack contains over 600 pieces of specially made colorful latex free bands. Each pack makes up to 28 “single” patterned bracelets which also includes C-clips to secure the bracelets created.

It adds more to your rubber collections for more creative crafts. It’s fun and it potentially boost some worthwhile skills in kids and impart some growth and development benefits. Instead of giving kids instant bracelets, it will be more beneficial to teach them important skills like focusing on tasks and following directions. Planning and deciding color combinations and patterns can further stimulate the brain creativity among children.

Rainbow bandz loom refill pack is guaranteed to be of high quality, durable and super elastic that do not easily break. All elastic bands are 100% compatible with other loom brands. We make sure that the materials used for our rubber bands are safe – NON TOXIC, LEAD and LATEX FREE.


She loves making these bracelets and wanted to make more after this so we did later on. She wants to make them for everyone now and was super excited to organize them into different containers by the colors.

The dvd is very colorful and nice.



Available July 8, 2014 from Whistlefritz Just In Time for Bastille Day


Washington, DC (June 3, 2014) – Experts agree that the earlier a child is introduced to a second language, the greater the chance the child will learn to speak like a native speaker. But who says the learning process can’t be fun? It is now thanks to On Va Jouer (Let’s Play), the newest release in the award-winning French for Kids series, available on DVD July 8, 2014 from Whistlefritz.

Combining live action, animation, interactive skits and music, On Va Jouer, which arrives just in time for Bastille Day July 14, features a delightful cast of characters, including host Marie, Fritzi the mischievous mouse, and a playful group of peers who introduce kids to essential French vocabulary. This fun-filled, interactive video gets kids up and moving through song and dance, teaching them French in the process. The DVD includes French subtitles and comes with an easy-to-use translation guide for parents and teachers.



On va chanter! (Let’s sing!) On va danser! (Let’s dance!) On va jouer! (Let’s play!) With the help of Fritzi, Marie introduces vocabulary related to different parts of the body. And what better way to get those body parts moving than with delightful sing-along, dance-along songs, including “Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes” and familiar French folksongs with exciting new twists. From le chapeau (the hat) to la chaussure (the shoe), kids will love trying on their new French vocabulary for clothes in playful, interactive skits.

ONE STEP AT A TIME - Hugo the Happy Starfish - Children's Ebook Review


Another great book from Hugo Books this one called one step at a time. I love the message it sends to children to never give up and to keep trying even if  you feel down and like you want to give up. It teaches you about emotions and how children should handle their feelings we love this book and all the other books made by hugo.

Hugo is a little starfish with a big sense of adventure. One day he finds an empty candy wrapper with a picture of a huge chocolate mountain. Usually when Hugo finds trash in the ocean it upsets him but this time what he found made him curious. Hugo discovers that his chocolate mountain is in fact a real mountain, which is called the Matterhorn and is located in Switzerland.
He decides to set off on a journey to find this mountain – a huge challenge for a little starfish!

Hugo learns to take one step at a time and to enjoy the journey as much as the destination.
Join Hugo as he finds the secret of perseverance when the road gets difficult.
ONE STEP AT A TIME is a story about the need for perspective, whatever mountains we face.
This book is the perfect way to each kids to divide big challenges into little chunks and to take things one step at a time.


I find this book a great tool in teaching children about their feelings and how to cope with them.

Yochi Yochi Shoes Review



You know how they use to make the shoes that lit up on the bottom when you walk?? Well of course they still make them but have you heard of Yochi Shoes these shoes are the cutest and Jayce absolutely loves these shoes. You will always know when your child is by your side with these shoes because they have a build in squeaker at the bottom of the shoes. Jayce was walking all around the house stomping these just to hear the sound. This is a very cute idea and we love them. I would recommend whatever size your child wears to go up one size to make sure of a definite fit.



Yochi Yochi is proud to introduce the latest trend from Japan here on American soil. Yochi Yochi shoes are made with a small squeaking diaphragm in the heel of each shoe which causes a small squeak when your child takes a step. The noise is fun, but we think it goes beyond that.
With the squeaking sound of every step, you can find comfort in that fact that your stealthy child will have a hard time getting away from your side without you knowing.
In addition to safety, many doctors have suggested that when children can audibly recognize their footsteps, the sounds can reinforce the natural rhythm of walking and actually help train them to walk.
We strive to create durable products at great prices because we know how fast your children grow up!


We love these shoes and I think they would be super cute to add them into our Halloween this year whatever we decide to dress him as these will serve as two purposes because of the look and because of the squeaking. I am really excited for that in the next coming months.
