Aloha Friday!!

Photobucket

My friend Kailani has a wonderful Friday meme called Aloha Fridays.
In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

Today's Question is Have you ever had an imaginary friend? If you have what was it and does it have a name?

I had a imaginary friend named Shamika. It was weird because she was based off of someone I went to Daycare with when I was really really little. I can't remember anything really about the Shamika Person. I don't remember what she looked like. How sad is it that I remember the imaginary Shamika better than the real one?
Shamika and I liked to go to my grandparents house. My grandma liked her. She thought Shamika was nice. Yes I know my granny was just going along with my silliness but it was fun. I was a weird kid but my family thought I was cute.
How about you?

Sweet Dreams Spray Review

Photobucket
Kids are funny little people. They have this faith in things. When they fall down, all they need is a kiss on the spot that hurts and the pain magically disappears. So, when I had the opportunity to try out one of the products from Fairytale Wishes I was extremely curious about it. I think the idea is really cute. A long the lines of the whole kiss a boo boo and its all better thinking. The people at Fairytale Wishes came up with magic “potion” sprays that do different things. Fairytale Wishes created a line of aromatherapy based sprays to help children cope with common childhood anxieties. There are 4 different varieties.

Monster Repellent Bubble Gum Spray is a bubble gum scented because Monsters are terrified of bubble gum. It gets stuck in their fur and if you ever had bubble gum in your hair you can totally understand why monsters are afraid of bubble gum.

Super Hero Spray that will give your child courage. Just a spray on their shirt and they will have courage all day. It would be great for the first day of school or going to the doctor or any other moments where you need to be brave. Like in the Wizard of Oz when the Lion needed courage even though he had it the whole time and didn’t realize it.

Happy Camper Spray is a spray that is great for when you are away from home. It is grape jelly scented so when you are home sick you can spray a little on your pillow and you have a little dose of home. The smell of grape jelly makes me think of when I was little and all the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches my mom used to make me.

Sweet Dreams Spray is to chase the bad dreams away. It is a lavender scented spray that will give you sweet and pleasant dreams. I really wish I had some Sweet Dreams spray when I was little. I used to have a reoccurring nightmare about an alien named Kevin. When Kevin was mad he turned in to a queen. I had that nightmare over and over. I would get scared and go in my parent’s room and my mom would say did you dream about Kevin again? My family still teases me about Kevin. True Story.

We received the Sweet Dreams Spray to try out. I really like the scent of the spray. It is not over powering and it smells good. You can tell there is magic dust in it because you can see the glitter. The packaging is adorable and each one has a different story behind it. The sprays even come with a personalized letter to your child. It is a really cute and fun product. We haven’t had any bad dreams since we have been using it. Noah has been sleeping soundly too.

All of the sprays are definitely something all parents should have in there bag of tools. Just like when we kiss a boo boo these sprays will help with the common childhood anxieties that children face.

You can order All of the Fairytale Wishes Sprays on online at their website. They are $10.00 each for a 4 ounce bottle. Don't forget you can submit your child's name for a personalized letter too!

Thank you so much to Fairytale Wishes for sending me the Sweet Dreams Spray to try out.

Arnold Sandwich Thins Review

My son loves bread. He loves any kind of bread from bagels to sliced bread. He loves bread so much that he will take loaves off the counter and sit down on the couch and eat it. I had the opportunity to sample some New Arnold Sandwich Thins. It is artisan bread. It is like a bun but it is thin. That way you don’t have to fill up on bread and you can use less filling in your sandwich. It is about the size of a top of a bun. It is flat and as big as a bun in size. It is great for those who are trying to eat less bread and carbs because the flavor is there but the excess bread is not. Arnold Sandwich Thins are made with whole grains which is important for preventing obesity and diabetes along with other health issues. They are only 100 calories.

Arnold Sandwich Thins contain No High Fructose Corn Syrup. They are cholesterol free. They are full of fiber and are low fat. So you are really putting something healthy and great tasting in your body. You can have all the flavor of Artisan bread with out the calories. They come in 4 varieties; Multi-grain, Seedless Rye, Whole Wheat White and 100% Whole Wheat.

If you like tuna in your lunch it is wonderful. You know how when you make a tuna sandwich in the morning or the night before and by lunch time its mush and the bread is all soggy? Not the case with Arnold’s Sandwich Thins. The bread stays intact. Do your kids hate crusts? Since Arnold’s Sandwich Thins are round there are no crusts to cut off! Arnold’s Sandwich Thins are delicious and very nutritious. My son loves them. His favorite way to eat it is with some melted cheese on a half then cut in little pieces. He also likes peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I like to make ham sandwiches with Arnold Sandwich thins too. As I said my son loves bread but I don’t really want him to fill up on bread. So, I really like giving him Arnold Sandwich Thins. I know when I give him Arnold Sandwich Thins I will be giving him something that is good for his growing body and that he will enjoy eating.

Arnold Sandwich Thins are available in stores across the US.
