ASPCA Kids Rescue Readers Review & Giveaway! US 1/13

Disclosure: I received the below products for free from GreenMomsMeet.com in exchange for our honest review. All opinions and experiences are our own and may differ from yours. I will ship the giveaway books directly to the winner.

ASPCA Kids Rescue Readers

Studio Fun has partnered with the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) to create these wonderful and educational books - the ASPCA Kids Rescue Readers book series. These books are written/read from the animal's point of view and help to teach our children the importance of giving all animals love, care and protection. Four to Five percent of the purchase price from every book will go directly to ASPCA to help continue the rescue mission. 

Has your family ever adopted a pet from a rescue? We have and the love they have provided our family with has been ever so joyous for all of us. With ASPCA Kids Rescue Readers your child can read about these real life and humorous rescue stories from the pets point of view.  These are Level 2 Readers meaning that they are early reader books and aimed for children ages 5-7 years old. 

We received four Rescue Readers allowing us to reader about McKinley, Picasso, Nibbles and Daisy and their journeys.  Picasso has a very cute little story that explains how he was named and the mischief he created in his new loving home. Daisy's story shows that it's not always a bad thing to take your pet to the shelter if you can no longer properly care for them. Nibbles is a pet Guinea Pig and I love that at the end of the book they have included some tips for how to properly care for a Guinea Pig. My almost 10 year old daughter really wants a Guinea Pig or Hamster so this book can help her learn a few helpful tips while she also learns about Nibbles. And Finally, McKinley, she was pregnant when she was adopted. In her new home she had four adorable puppies. Prior to her adoption McKinley was a stray so it's very wonderful to read that not only did someone care enough to take her to a shelter, but she was also adopted out and had a loving family around her while she cared for her pups. 

Which story do you think your child would love the most? 

Studio Fun has many other books aside from the ASPCA Rescue Readers. We also received a Star Wars Mania Craft Book which we are super excited about, especially with The Force Awakens just having been released in theaters. We also received a DC Comics book and book #1 from the Pet Rescue Club series which is about Harry Truman.

#TryDry Dove Cool Essentials Dry Spray Deodorant Review

Dove logo
Disclosure: I received this product in exchange for my honest review. All opinions and experiences are my own.

Dove Cool Essentials Dry Spray Deodorant
 

I received Dove Dry Spray Cool Essentials Deodorant, while I did doubt the power of a spray on, but dry deodorant I am pleasantly surprised! The Dove spray antiperspirant goes on dry, yep, instantly dry!! Dove's research and development team have been through years of research to create this antiperspirant spray which goes on instantly dry as soon as it touches your skin. In doing so it leaves your skin soft, smooth and protected for up to 48 hours. This is the first antiperspirant spray with 1/4 moisturizers. Using this spray deodorant is super easy, just shake the can twice and spray it on. 

 It honestly leaves behind NO residue, no white marks, no clumps and best of all in my mind is that you don't have to deal with crumbling bar deodorant as you get to the bottom. I'm not a fan of cucumber scented foofoo sprays or lotions, but this one has not bothered me at all. 

NO IRRITATION!!! This is by far my favorite thing about this spray deodorant! I typically have itchy, irritated arm pits when I use bar deodorants. I've tried so many and they all cause me to itch. This is so unattractive when you're out and about or even at family gatherings. I feel dirty when my deodorants cause me to itch and deodorants are supposed to help you stay clean smelling and feeling. This spray deodorant has done all of that for me. I will not look back. 

Dove Dry Spray Deodorant comes in 6 fragrances; Nurished Beauty, Plus Cool Essentials, Revive, Beauty Finish, Skin renew and Sensitive. I'd definitely love to try all of the different fragrances. Which one would you pick?

juDanzy 100% Cotton Muslin Swaddle Blanket & Extra Large Hair Bows Review

Disclosure: I received these products in exchange for my honest review. All opinions and experiences are my own and may differ from yours. 

juDanzy
It all started in a spare bedroom and juDanzy is formerly known as My Little Legs (prior to July 2013). They upgraded to a garage before moving into a Florida style sunroom and then moved back into a larger garage. The last garage stay only lasted six months and then they were moving into their own office space since they were large enough to do so.

juDanzy offers so much more than leg warmers now. They have expanded their product inventory to also include hair bows, hats, socks, footless tights, diaper covers, blankets, bodysuits and dresses. They generously offer free shipping to their US customers as an added bonus. 

juDanzy Swaddle Blankets


We received the Red and Blue Muslin Swaddle Blankets 2 pack ($25ARV) from juDanzy. These blankets are 100% cotton muslin blankets and measure 45" by 45". Making them the perfect softness, warmth and size to swaddle your little squish or even big enough for your toddler to cuddle up with. They are lightweight and breathable, this helps reduce the risk of baby over heating. And unlike many other blankets, the more you wash these, the SOFTER they become! How awesome is that?

 
Even with my baby now being four years old, I love swaddle blankets! I typically love them more then any other child or adult blanket... well not as much as my poofy comforter, but you understand. What I've noticed with these swaddle blankets is that they warm baby up in winter, but they can even be used as a nice lightweight blanket in the hot summer due to them being breathable. There is no other blanket that I would want on or near me during the hot summer months other than a swaddle blanket. Ezio has to always sleep with a blanket, but doesn't care for sheets. These swaddle blankets make the perfect blankets for him even during the hot summer. I don't really worry about him getting too hot and he rarely wakes up sweaty when using one of these. 


These swaddle blankets are big enough for mom and baby to cuddle up and stay warm together, this has to be my number one favorite thing about these. We love to cuddle and I give off a lot of hot body heat and so does Ezio so often time even in the cold winters, we become too hot if we use heavier blankets.  Aside from this, the price is amazing! You receive two high quality 100% cotton muslin blankets for the price of one!

juDanzy Hair Bows

 We also received these two Extra Large Pink and Purple hair bows from juDanzy ($5ARV).  Each bow is roughly 5" in width and they are attached to a lead free alligator clip. My daughter loves hair bows and she quickly did her hair with these. She has always had a larger head, since birth, so I love that juDanzy offers larger hair bows.

This photo from juDanzy shows the true size of the bows. What beautiful baby girl wouldn't look great with a large bow? 

juDanzy offers many beautiful hear bows including korkers and loopy loop hair bows. The korkers are my favorite. Check out all of the hair bows. 

They look a bit squished in the pic above, but once I took them off of the cardboard I was able to fluff them back up with no problems. The quality and craftsmanship of these bows is great, they have not fallen apart or frayed at all. Jada isn't always the most gentle with her hair accessories and often leaves them lay around, these have held up wonderfully through out it all. Ezio, the 4 year old destructive boy has even gotten a hold of them a few times and there has been no issue, thankfully.
