Children's Books and Playsets from Silver Dolphin Books

Disclosure: I received product at no charge in exchange for my honest review.
Children can bring the story to life with these amazing Books and Playsets from Silver Dolphin Books. Each set comes with a large hardbound book and a three-dimensional playset that folds out into the story scene, complete with stand-up characters and props. Choose from Beauty and the Beast, Noah's Art, and All Aboard the Pirate Ship for just $19.99 each.
The storybooks are beautifully written by Timothy Knapman and illustrated by three amazing artists. Beauty and the Beast comes with a castle and a big set of press-out model pieces. The prop pieces match the characters and scene in the book, so it's easy to act it out as you read along.
The playset is made of high-quality, laminated, chunky cardboard for hours of play. When you're done playing, all the pieces and the book fit back together and store in the base box. Designed for ages 5 years and above, these books and playsets are a great keep-busy idea for a rainy day. They are a fabulous gift idea for birthdays, holidays, and other special occasions.
It took about 15 minutes to completely assemble the playset the first time, including pressing out the pieces, putting together the pieces, and setting up the scene. The second time it only took about 5 minutes to assemble. I think these books and playsets are wonderfully creative and interactive, and best of all they require no batteries or screens, just pure imagination!

INSTYTUTUM Skincare - Flawless Skin is now at Your Fingertips #review

Disclosure: I received product at no charge in exchange for my honest review.
INSTYTUTUM skincare brand features truly effective, innovative, clinically-tested products with quality, anti-aging breakthroughs and performance-driven actives. Inspired by Natalia Derkach, M.D., a top-level executive of a successful pharmaceutical corporation renowned for manufacturing innovative medical solutions and created in a Swiss laboratory with scientists that have 30 years of experience in the skincare industry, INSTYTUTUM can help you achieve flawless skin.
I've been testing the INSTYTUTUM Eye Cream and Triple Effect Peel for about two weeks. The advanced Eye Cream visibly brightens and firms around my eye area. It has caffeine to reduce fluid retention and puffiness, and peptide to diminish wrinkles. It firms, moisturizes, and hydrates the eye area. This eye cream improves elasticity, providing a lifted look to the eye area. The retinol also brightens and boosts collagen production. I love what the Eye Cream is doing for my aging skin!
I think I've only tried a peel once in my life before using the INSTYTUTM Triple Effect Peel. This product far exceeds my previous experience. It's a microdermabrasion triple action peel that features a powerful complex of salicylic acid, papaya enzymes, and micro-polishing particles. This Triple Effect Peel exfoliates and resurfaces, correcting skin imperfections, and instantly improves texture and tone for smoother, brighter, regenerated, and radiant skin. I was surprised at how amazing my skin looked after just one use!

MadeGood Granola Bars, Granola Minis, and Crispy Squares are made in a facility free from the eight most common allergens - peanut, tree nut, wheat, dairy, egg, soy, sesame, and fish. I received a backpack full of MadeGood snacks plus a cute tshirt. I love when companies tuck in extra goodies!

MadeGood just added the Crispy Squares to their lineup of tasty products. Crispy rice treats are always the choice of kids everywhere, but these are better! They taste amazing (just like I remember from childhood) and they have the nutrients of a serving of vegetables in each one. Crispy Squares are the perfect choice for lunchbox treats.

Gold Star Mom Honors Fallen US Navy SEAL Son with Inspiring Children's Book

Disclosure: I received product at no charge in exchange for my honest review.
After receiving the devastating news that her son had been killed while fighting Islamic State militants in Iraq on May 3, 2016, Krista Keating-Joseph was motivated to revisit publishing a children's book about her son’s perseverance and determination on his school’s track team which she began over a decade earlier. Unbeknownst to even some of her closest friends, Krista had started writing Big-Hearted Charlie Runs the Mile several years before he passed. A writer looking to make her son smile, Krista enlisted the help of an artist she knew quite well to produce the illustrations - Charlie’s own grandmother, Phyllis Holmes. Without a desire to publish at the time, the work had remained tucked away as a fond memory for over a decade until Charlie’s death, and would become a crucial part of her healing process.
Big-Hearted Charlie Runs The Mile is based on a true story about a little boy who joins a track team and works hard to overcome his small size as he run against boys who are much bigger. At first, he never wins a race, but Charlie doesn't give up and his hard work pays off. He becomes a champion on the track and later a true hero in real life as a US Navy Seal.
This book is a wonderful tribute to an American hero who gave his life for his country. The book celebrates his life and what he was able to accomplish with determination. It's a wonderful read-aloud story that teaches children the importance of working hard and believing that anything is possible with hard work. The book does not mention his ultimate sacrifice, but the first time I read the book, I ended up in a puddle of tears because I knew the background story of Charles Keating IV. I hope you will add this book to your children's library. Part of the proceeds will benefit K9S for Warriors and The Navy SEAL Foundation.

Dressing your baby in adorable clothing is so much fun! But there is much more that parents should be aware of when dressing baby. Quality clothing should be comfortable to keep baby happy and the Organic Zoo Milk Playsuit in cream is a perfect choice.

Even the sleeves are softly stitched with no folded hems! The legs of this Organic Zoo playsuit offer easy access for diaper changes with just a few snaps around the leg area, with a soft gathered ankle design.
The cream color is softer than pure white and the cursive Milk message across the front chest area announces to everyone what it is that baby wants most of all in life. It's sure to be a favorite choice of parents everywhere!
Perfect for both boys and girls, it makes a wonderful baby shower gift and comes in sizes to fit from birth all the way up to 3 years old. Mix and match it with other Jeulli Kids Fashions for some extra charming flair.

Disclosure: I received product at no charge in exchange for my honest review.
Inspiring children to be creative is easy when you have the right materials. Artsbot Art Kits are on a mission to inspire creativity on the go! The creator of Artsbot is passionate about inspiring creativity in kids and reducing screen time to encourage cognitive development and a lifetime of imagination.
I received the Totes Amazing! art kit and it is filled with fabulous materials to create a tote bag and bead keychain. This kit also features stickers, a journaling booklet, a post card and pen, as well as a ready to color tote bag with textile markers in 8 colors, and the pieces to design a keychain. It all comes in a little art box that stores the materials.
The Artsbot Totes Amazing! tote bag and key chain were easy to make. One side of the tote has an Artsbot design to color and the other side is blank so both sides can be completely created however your child wants. Plus, Artsbot kits do not contain scissors or sharp objects, making them TSA compliant. No tiny pieces means less mess and they are great to take along on trips to keep kids busy. I love products that inspire creativity in kids and highly recommend Artsbot! It's a great gift idea for all the children in your life!
For every kid that submits a photo to Artsbot using an Artsbot kit, they will donate one to a kid who needs it most. They call it viral creativity!
