I'm a full-time mummy

Few weeks ago I blogged about our shopping experience in one of the many Skechers outlet and the following week I blogged about Ben's Skechers Kid's Terminal Radian Z Strap Shoes! This week, I will continue on with our review and this time I'd like to introduce you guys to this uber cute shoes which my 11 months old princess gets to try out!

Ladies and gentlemen, without further delay, let's find out more about the "Skechers Twinkle Toes: Shuffles - Cammie Cow Shoes ":

Description from the product page:
"Udderly charming and fun style comes in the SKECHERS Twinkle Toes: Shuffles - Cammie Cow shoe. Soft canvas fabric upper in a slip on casual sneaker with cow print design and cow face detailed front. Light up accents on 'nose.'"

The first shoes that caught my attention is of course the very same shoes I'm blogging about here! I think it's the big cheeky eyes on the cow character on the shoes that got me attracted to it. I got a bigger size shoes for Alyson as being kids, they tend to grow up very fast, so I think it's safe to say I can still put 2 index fingers of mine in her shoes.

Now let's see how this awesome shoes look like. Like I said, I love the cute cow character against the pure white background as I feel it is serene looking and refreshing! There's another shoe which has a monkey character on it but our decision is pretty much fixed on the cute lil' cow! 

Now obviously my girl can't tie her shoes yet so we love that this shoes came with a Velcro strap which can be easily taken off and stick back.

One awesome thing to note about this shoe is the way it lit up! Oh wow... Unlike Ben's shoes which lits up along the sides at the bottom of the shoes, this shoes lit up at the front nose part of the cow where the glitter dots are located. It's just so girlish cute and I can't resist tapping the shoes over and over again just to see the lights hahahah... You can see how the shoes lit up at: http://youtu.be/rhgkfhL-tlE

The workmanship of this shoes are moo-gnificent and I love the base of the shoes, cute and yet provide strong grip as well. I am not a fan of shoes with slippery or smooth base. I also find it charming to see a cute little silver bell at the side of the shoes. 

I'm very happy the shoes do not have any sound and that the light is not too overbearing. Our vedict? An awesome shoes yet it looks uber cute, perfect for our little princess!

We bought our second car last year from a car dealership shop. Our (hubby's) first car was already more than 15 years old (hubby bought it second hand when the car was 10 years old!) and it was definitely time to get another car. This car was passed down to me as I don't really use it often anyway, more like to go buy foods at the nearby shoplots in our housing area.

Anyway, we have been looking for a bigger car which can fit our growing family and at the same time, want it to have safety features and cost savings too. Hubby's first car does not have any airbag features at all, so yes, it is very risky to continue driving that car for him in the long run.

We finally found our second car at a car dealership shop after recommendation by our brother in law.

Although the car dealership shop we went to does not have a car-finder services, parts and services department and trade in services like the one offered in the car dealerships in greenville sc, it was nevertheless a new experience for us to see so many different types of cars available for sale and we also get to try and drive the car to test it out with our family to have a feel of using the car with the family as well.

Where do you buy your car?

This is my 3rd VeggieTales DVD review after "God Loves You Very Much" and "If I Sang a Silly Song". We are a big fan of VeggieTales after the first 2 DVDs (and I also bought another DVD from our church bookstore as well, so yeah, we are a fan!) Anyway, here is my review:

DVD synopsis:

"The Penniless Princess—God’s Little Girl is the heart-warming story based on the children’s book A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. The story, featuring plenty of engaging and fun music fit for families, including the all-new Silly Song “Best Friends Forever” and the featured song “No Matter What,” helps to teach an important lesson about knowing your own true worth and trusting God, no matter what happens in life. Other bonus feature include a special tour of London with the popular French Peas characters, a hilarious look at the history of the Teddy Bear, a discussion guide for parents, and behind-the-scenes clips.

 Sweet Sarah Crew has everything a little girl could want – a loving family, lots of friends and a closet full of frilly dresses! But when life takes a turn and Sarah goes from riches to rags, will she realize that her true worth lies not in what she has, but what she has in her heart? Find out in this inspiring new story from VeggieTales that reminds kids who they are in God’s eyes."

Firstly I must note down that it is a very clever idea to insert a penny on the PR letter that I got along with the DVD and the book! This is the first US penny I ever owned! *embarrassed and yet proud of it!*

Back to my review, I received a copy of the DVD and also the "365 Daystarter Devos for Girls" book which I am very delighted to get as I was only expecting the DVD. Heck, even getting that penny is surprising enough for me, so yes, again, I am thrilled to get the DVD and the book!

Ben scooted off the moment I browsed through the book, maybe it's all full of words which he doesn't seem to understand now. I hope it's not the pinkish color that makes him lose his interest. But rest assured, I am definitely keeping this book and will revisit it when my Alyson is old enough for this book! A quick note about the book: "Daystarter devos for girls help parents begin every morning with the wit of VeggieTales and wisdom from the Word of God! Includes 365 daily thoughts, a prayer, and a verse for kids to start their day out right!"

As for the DVD, I like the lesson to be learned, that it doesn't matter what you have, the most important is what's in your heart! I use the opportunities to teach my boy the importance of sharing, to be kind and helpful to others. The songs are catchy and cute as well and yes, we danced along to it too!

 My 3 year old boy sat glued in front of my laptop throughout the whole DVD. Of course I was right next to him while he watched the DVD and I explained to him in simpler terms that he could understand the storyline of the DVD and what is happening.

There are some breathtaking scenes from the DVD! Love them!

A fun, entertaining and inspiring DVD that is a must to have!
