Celebrate Blue Eyes with Beautiful Blue Eyes

Beautiful Blue Eyes (Sourcebooks, April 2011) is a new picture book that is written and illustrated by Marianne Richmond. My family has several Marianne Richmond books and this one is no exception to her style of writing and illustrating, her books celebrate how one's uniqueness makes them special. Beautiful Blue Eyes is no exception! Beautiful Blue Eyes celebrates the extraordinary spirit of the blue-eyed child!

Here is the synopsis for the inside jacket cover of Beautiful Blue Eyes:

Sure to become a new classic bedtime story, Beautiful Blue Eyes celebrates the uniqueness in every child shown through his or her eyes--wonder, personality, thoughts, and feelings of the heart. Award-winning author Marianne Richmond uses endearing artwork and heartwarming prose to help explain what children may not understand--that their eyes truly tell us so much more than they'll ever know.

Beautiful Blue Eyesis a truly sweet and enjoyable book. Perfect for making you blue-eyed little one feel extra special! She has also written a book called Beautiful Brown Eyes if you have a little brown eyed child! My child and I enjoyed reading this book together!

Thank you to Sourcebook for my sample used in this review. Opinions are honest. Review by Michelle.

"The Realoscope of Ringgold Valley" Book Review & Giveaway

My daughter, being the book lover that she is, is always happy when she gets new books to review. We were recently sent a copy of "The Realoscope of Ringgold Valley" written by Lance Justin Peter Okones and Illustrated by Christopher Trefz. If you are a frequent reader of my site, the name Christopher Trefz may ring a bell because he is the author and illustrator of a book I told you about last year called "Below the Waves, Timmy's Quest". My daughter will still pick Timmy's Quest from time to time and read it, she enjoys it that much.

This new 36-page book by Lance and Christopher is a great story with really colorful, interesting illustrations. Without giving too much of the story away, it takes place at Ringgold Valley Elementary School and follows two 4th graders in Mrs. Interestedinit's (love that name) Science class. The Realoscope is like a telescope, however, instead of just looking at objects far away with a normal telescope, the Realoscope actually takes you to what you are looking at...in the case of this book, the moon. This is a fun adventure-type book with a science fiction twist.

I can definitely see "The Realoscope of Ringgold Valley" become a series, because the possibilities of where the Realoscope will take the kids is basically endless...or at least as far as the author and illustrator's imaginations will take them. My husband told me that after reading this book to our daughter, he immediately starting thinking of another book series that started with "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and thought that this series could really lead to more fun adventures and interesting discoveries, just like in that series of books.

I definitely recommend picking up this book and supporting the fun work Lance and Christopher are putting out. They have self-published this book, so you can pick it up on the Realoscope website or Amazon. It is priced at $8.99.

Thanks to Lance and Christopher, one lucky My Springfield Mommy reader will win a copy of "The Realoscope of Ringgold Valley".

Giveaway ends Sunday, April 10th

Watch Out World Costume Discounters Gave Us A Superhero!

There is no reason why you have to wait for Halloween to wear a costume, especially when you can find such a good selection and price with Costume Discounters.

Our daughter loves Disney Pixar's The Incredibles, so when the chance come to take a look at the Disney Costumes I knew she would be excited to help.

This morning we let her try on the Violet Costume, in just one second she become a super hero. Which made me think about how dress up and pretend is such an important part of a child development that every child needs a costume to play around in, even if it is not Halloween.

One thing you have to watch when you look for a costume for your child, is that they are comfortable and if there is a head piece that you child can see through it. The Incredibles collection meets both of my requirements since the mask is easily removable for any child.

I did want to let you know that right now Costume Discounters is having a sale on Parade Quality Easter Bunny Mascots. Right now they are 50% off and since Easter falls late this year there is still time to get one for your egg hunt.

Thank you to Costume Discounters for my sample used in this review. Opinions are honest.

Postgame Shampoo & Body Wash Review

Postgame 3 in 1 shampoo, conditioner and body wash is the only product made for male athletes that is Sulfate, Paraben and Phthalate free. Postgame focuses on sports - and prides itself in being one of the very few brands with appropriate messaging for all ages as well as an initiative to give a part of all proceeds to charity and youth sports organizations.

Thanks to Postgame my husband received a sample of Postgame's 3 in 1 Shampoo, Body Wash & Conditioner as well as a bottle of Sport Strength Shampoo and a bottle of Sport Scrub Body Wash. My husband is pretty brand loyal, but he knows that with the reviews I get, sometimes he has to step out of the box which we did to test these products.

When I first asked him to review these products he was concerned that the scent may be overwhelming...he has tried some other sports-type body washes and they end up having too overpowering of a scent...too musky or perfumey...what he found with all three of the Postgame products he tried was that the scent is just right, not too strong, but you still know it is there. He was happy that the products actually felt like they were moisturizing his skin and not leaving it feeling dry and rough too. It has been about half an hour since he used these products and the nice scent is still on his skin...with other products he has found that the scent disappears or he is stuck with the overpowering smell for too long...not with Postgame.

Another cool aspect of these products are the six different sport pictures that you can get on the bottles of these products. The pictures are baseball, basketball, football, hockey, lacrosse and soccer.

Visit the Postgame website to check out what stores carry these products or you can just order them from them directly. Plus, you can keep up with Postgame on Facebook too.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commissions 16 CFR, Part 255 Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.
