Attention Gleeks: Glee Encore DVD Review & Giveaway

Win a DVD copy of Glee’s musical numbers from the first season, out on DVD/Blu-ray on April 19^th

Get ready, young Gleeks! With the newest release from this hit Fox TV show, younger fans of the popular program can enjoy the simple innocence and fun of the show, combined with the music they love all – all in one place! With this new all-music version of the DVD, Moms can sit back, relax and turn off their “Parental Control”, as we have created a more family friendly home viewing experience that focuses on the fun of the music rather than the mature themes.

Glee Encore takes more than 30 show-stopping numbers from the first season and combines them for a fun-filled, all-music version of the series that kid and tween fans can sing along to and share with friends at slumber parties and after school get-togethers!

Glee Encore features performances by stars Lea Michele, Chris Colfer, Matthew Morrison, Cory Monteith, Amber Riley and guest star Kristin Chenoweth. Popular songs available on the DVD include “Don’t Stop Believing,” “Gold Digger,” “I’ll Stand By You,” “True Colors,” “Jesse’s Girl” and “Total Eclipse of the Heart.” Glee is produced by Ryan Murphy Television in association with 20^th Century Fox Television and is currently in its second season.

I have to admit, that I have not followed Glee, however, my husband is a big fan...I think it's because he was in the backup band for a show choir when he was in high school He really enjoyed this DVD and said that even though it is just the songs, it is fun to relive the first season as New Directions grows from a 6 member ensemble to a full group performing at Regionals. You can follow and remember the storylines as told through the music.

This disc does not come out until April 19th, but you can preorder the DVD on Amazon for $17.99 + free shipping. The Blu-ray is $19.99 + free shipping.

Thanks to 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, one lucky My Springfield Mommy reader will win a copy of Glee Encore on DVD.

The giveaway will end Sunday, April 24th at 8 PM CST

For your chance of winning a copy of Glee Encore on DVD, simply answer the following question:

Which Glee guest star appears on the Glee Encore release?

Gwyneth Paltrow
Britney Spears
Kristin Chenoweth

Enter your answer in the comment box below.

Thanks to 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment for my sample to review and the giveaway winner's copy.

Save Your Sleeve With KitchenKuffs!

KitchenKuffs (Kuffco LLC) make wet (or dirty) sleeves a thing of the past in a festive way. KitchenKuffs are designed to keep your long sleeves up and out of the water, dirt, food etc while you are working. How many times have you found yourself pushing up your sleeves only to find them dropping back down at the most inopportune time, or trying to hold them up with a rubber band? KitchenKuffs are the cure to these sleeve battles! They are amazingly simple in their design but I found them to be very effective and much cuter than a rubber band or a roll!

KitchenKuffs are made in the USA of imported materials--100% cotton fabric & elastic and they are machine washable. They come in 3 sizes (measure around your forearm 1/3 of the way up) or you can choose an adjustable version. KitchenKuffs are perfect for any project where your long sleeves might get into the way, such as:

Washing Dishes
Cooking/ preparing food
Cleaning your house or your car
Bathing your child or your pet
Crafting--stamping & scrapbooking (I am not sure how many shirt sleeves cuffs I have ended up with ink on the)
Gardening or re-potting plants
and more

I was given a couple of sets of KitchenKuffs to try out a regular set and an adjustable set. I really like them in the kitchen (especially when preparing poultry and when washing dishes) and in my craftroom. I found them to hold my sleeve up well--I had no problem at all with them sliding down. The adjustable set is great because both my husband and I can use them depending on who needs them, they tend to stay in the kitchen & are used there and with housework, the regular set has found a home in my craftroom since my husband doesn't then to stamp & scrap with me very often.

KitchenKuffs are a great solution to a common problem, they simple keep your sleeves up they need to be!

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

Free Super Saturday Event at Illinois State Museum Today

If you are looking for something to do today, why not take the family to the Illinois State Museum for a FREE Super Saturday Event.

Today's event is called Earth Smart and is a celebration of Earth Day.

During the “Earth Smart” program, you will learn how to save both natural and financial resources by using green practices. Children will use recycled materials to create a coin bank and receive ideas on how to make extra spending money by thinking “earth-smart” such as recycling aluminum cans and selling no-longer used toys as part of a family garage sale. Children will have the opportunity to create other crafts from recycled materials as well as play environmental-themed games.

Super Saturdays take place on the second Saturday of each month and the recommended age range is 4-8.

Activities are ongoing from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, take 30 to 45 minutes to complete, and feature take-home crafts. Parents and families are encouraged to participate. Registration is not required for this activity.

For more information, check out the Museum's site.

Don't Lose It - Label It With Lovable Labels Review & Giveaway

If you have kids you know that when they are young, like my daughter, things get lost. It does not happen on purpose, but it happens. Lovable Labels wants to help you make sure your child does not lose anything.

One way you may not have though about is with address labels. Sure they can be used on your mail, but why stop there? I have always put address labels on important items that you do not want to lose, like my camera, laptop and yes even once my keys to my car. This way if I would ever lose them maybe a good samaritan would return it to me. Thankfully I have never lost any of these items outside of my house, but at least you can feel somewhat protected if you would.

Lovable Labels sent me a pack of the Daisy Chain Address Labels, I like that they are larger than most address labels you find for sale. I was able to put up to four lines of text, which for me is a must. I have both my home address and a PO Box that needs to be on all my mail. The complete address fits perfecting and nothing is in a small font making it hard to read. I also like that they come on sheets rather than a roll. When I get labels on roll they always seem to peel from the side and just do not last.

Lovable Labels has so much more than just address labels, if you have a need for anything from bag tags, metal tags, allergy alert labels to iron-ons they are able to help.

Loveable Labels would like to send one reader a set of address labels!

Giveaway ends Sunday, April 24th

Winner chosen by Random.org

Looking For The Perfect Easter Beanie?

Just because winter is over does not mean your child has to stop wearing hats. Beanie Designs, a site that offers handmade head pieces and hats for children.

Beanie Designs let me pick one item for my daughter and the second I saw this Bucket Hat Easter came to mind. I knew my daughter would need something but a "bonnet" just seems to old fashion and does not at all match my daughters personality. This Bucket Hat does, it is just adorable, being white she can wear with almost any dress and the flower gives it the touch of spring that will make it a perfect match for her Easter dress.

I am impressed that Beanie Designs offers pieces for both boys and girls from infants to children up to ten years old. Each piece is handmade and are durable enough to stand up to even the toughest of kids. Shipping is free and the site is easy to use and the selection is not limited to just hats, you will find mittens, booties and more.

Thank you to Beanie Designs for my sample used in this review. Opinions are honest.
