I'm a full-time mummy

This is my 1st VeggieTales DVD review and boy oh boy, we have been playing this DVD EVERYDAY! To be honest, prior to getting this DVD for review, we have never watch Veggie Tales before. Sure, I've seen them being sold at my church's book store but we never thought of getting it. Anyway, here is my review:

DVD synopsis:

""Does He Love Me?” is the question the Veggie Kids ask Larry and the answer is found through a fun trip of song and rhyme that gives the answer -- God loves you very much!  Join Larry, Bob, Junior, Laura and their pals as they recount all the ways that God shows kids he loves them even when "they forget to blow their nose, or dirty up their clothes!" This new compilation features stories that show uniquely how God cares for us in all kinds of situations!  With the classic VeggieTales episodes, kids also learn valuable lessons around love, including Gideon: Tuba Warrior (Trust), The Ballad of Little Joe (Facing Hardship) and Rack, Shack & Benny (Peer Pressure)"

Look at the pictures above of Ben watching the DVD intensely. I loved the storylines of each stories featured in this DVD and the lessons to be learned on how we should not despair when bad things happened to us as God can turned it around to make good things out of bad incidents, how we should trust God when He chose us to do something and how we should be steadfast and believed in the things we stand up for.

At the end of the 3 featured stories, there is a short bloopers of the intro which Ben loves to watch over and over and over again! I loved seeing him laugh at the bloopers.

Now, I would definitely play this DVD again (and again and again...) as it also has bonus features such as extra sing-along songs, how to draw tutorials and an interactive book. 

Overall, I give this DVD a 10 out of 10. (yep, we love it!)

You can get this DVD at http://store.veggietales.com/god-loves-you-very-much-dvd.html or any outlets that sell it.

Now, my sponsor has generously offered another DVD of the same title for me to host as a giveaway to 1 lucky winner!  Please note that this giveaway is only available for US residents. (apologies to the rest, please don't get mad, OK?)

Last year, I reviewed and hosted a giveaway for the Lovable Labels Wire Tags and when I found out they have a new product called 'Friendship Packs' available, I immediately wrote in to request for a review opportunity and got a prompt reply from them and as usual, I received my review pack very fast! So here goes my review for the "Lovable Labels Friendship Packs":

Description from the product page:
"Jam-Packed with 120 labels this is a value you can’t pass up! 30 Sticker Labels, 80 Slimline Labels and 10 mini Fun Stckies"

120 labels!!! Awesome! And there is a promotion at the moment until the end of February 2012 whereby if you purchase any Friendship Pack, you will receive a FREE Friendship Sampler (40 Slimline Labels) for a friend! Cool!

Now cooler is when I get to review both the Friendship Pack and the Friendship Sampler! There are 2 designs to choose from: Majestic and Bedazzled. Awesome! I decided to have both my precious kids name printed on the labels, which are Benjamin Tan and Alyson Tan.

The labels are Dishwasher and Microwave Safe, Waterproof and UV Resistant too. Enough talking, just look at the pictures and you'll see how cool is this product!

Ben immediately started peeling the labels!

And he stuck one on the wall in his playroom...

I choose the slimline label for Alyson's talcum powder case...

And Ben wanted one on his toy soldier gun...

(see him pointing to where he wants me to put the label?)

And I put one on his sippy cup...

You can get this labels from Lovable Labels's website.

Now, Lovable Labels has generously supplied me with a pack of "Friendship Pack" for one lucky winner!  Thanks, Lovable Labels! Please note that this giveaway is only available for US and/or Canada residents. (sorry Malaysian folks but oh hey, I've been hosting a lot of Malaysian giveaways lately so please don't be mad, OK?)

I received an email from Bobbie Rhoads, the inventor of this awesome product asking whether I am interested in reviewing her product. Oh hey, any product that helps to ease my work in preparing food for the family is always welcome! Anyway long story short, here is my review of the FunBites™ set which was sent to me.

FunBites™ is the first state of the art kitchen tool that instantly cuts kids' food into BITE-SIZED FUN SHAPED PIECES.  They are perfect to get even the pickiest eaters to try something new and eat healthier.  Or try them for your kids' Bento lunch! Choose your favorite FunBites™ pack in Cube It! or Luv It! Each pack includes it's own cutter with curved blades that quickly cuts food into small bites and a matching popper that instantly pops out the fun-shaped pieces so hands are clean, food is untouched.  Use on any kid-friendly food from pancakes, fish, cheese, and bread to waffles, watermelon and burgers! Start with a flat surface and let the magic begin!

I received both the Cube It! or Luv It! set for my giveaway. My review here will be based on the Cube It! set as I realised I've always been cutting the food Ben takes into cubes. My feedback as below:

* Appearance: I love the colors of the FunBites™ set. It is quite heavy (for me) but the size is just right.

* Functionality: It is very easy to use and I love the handling of the Cube It! set. I just need to remove the popper aside, placed the cutter on top of the food I want to cut into cubes, press downwards while holding the cutter handle at the sides for a few seconds. And once you removed the cutter, you just need to slot back the popper into the cutter and your food will pop out in cubes size now!

Anyway, enough talking, check out the pictures below for some of the occasions when I used FunBites™:

Ahhhhh... my favorite fruit, mangoes!!!

French toast!

Top picture: Cheesecake, Bottom picture: Broccoli pancakes!

Verdict: I love how it helps save my time in preparing my boy's food by cutting it to bite-sized pieces!
