			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever have one of those days that nothing seems to go right? The more you try to fix things, the more they go downhill, and by the end of the day all you want to do is relax and laugh a little.  The next time you have one of those days, check out <a href="http://www.foxmovies.com/">20 Century Fox</a>&#8217;s new DVD release, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ZG97B0?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=whamomnee-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B002ZG97B0">Date Night</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=whamomnee-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B002ZG97B0" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />.</p>

<p>Here is the synopsis of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ZG97B0?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=whamomnee-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B002ZG97B0">Date Night</a>:  <em>One ordinary couple. One crazy night.  The uproarious story of mistaken identity starring two of the world&#8217;s biggest comedic talents. Steve Carell and Tina Fey.  Filled with non-stop laughs and outrageous situations, this movie follows a sensible, loving couple with two kids and a house in suburban New Jersey.  Their typical date nights include a run-of-the-mill eventing with little to no romance, but one night they decide to reignite the spark by going to Manhattan&#8217;s hottest new restaurant&#8230;without a reservation.  What happens next is a wild ride that goes hilariously awry, as they embark on a dangerous series of crazy adventures to save their lives, and their marriage.</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.foxmovies.com/">20th Century Fox</a> was nice enough to send me a copy of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ZG97B0?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=whamomnee-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B002ZG97B0">Date Night</a> to review.  It was the perfect remedy to end a miserable day.  Hubby and I both thought it was really funny and continually laughed out loud.  The movie was much more creative than I was expecting and made for a really good &#8220;date movie&#8221;.LOL  I loved that Mark Wahlberg spends most of his scenes shirtless! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The minute they started to advertise the release of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ZG97F6?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=whamomnee-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B002ZG97F6">Diary of a Wimpy Kid</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=whamomnee-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B002ZG97F6" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> on film, my nephew started talking about going to see it at the movies.  What began as a popular book series is now a major motion picture and all the talk among young  boys.  And, since the movie was just released to DVD, I was able to secure a copy for my nephew for his birthday. </p>
<p>Here is the synopsis of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ZG97F6?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=whamomnee-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B002ZG97F6">Diary of a Wimpy Kid</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=whamomnee-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B002ZG97F6" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />:  <em>Based on the best-selling illustrated novel by Jeff Kinney, the family comedy <strong>Diary of a Wimpy Kid</strong> chronicles the adventures of wisecracking pre-teen Greg Heffley, who must somehow survive the scariest time of anyone&#8217;s life&#8230;.middle school.  Convinced it&#8217;s the &#8220;dumbest idea ever invented,&#8221; Heffley considers junior high school a place rigged with hundreds of social landmines, not the least of which are wedgies, swirlies, bullies, lunchtime banishment of the cafeteria floor and a festering piece of cheese with nuclear cooties that he must overcome to be popular.  His diary- or &#8220;journal&#8221;- chronicles his thoughts, tales of family trials and tribulations, and (would be) schoolyard triumphs.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a><img class="size-full wp-image-1740  aligncenter" title="diary of a wimpy kid" src="http://whatmommiesneed.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/diary-of-a-wimpy-kid.jpg" alt="diary of a wimpy kid" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p> <a href="www.foxmovies.com/">20th Century Fox </a>was nice enough to send my family a copy of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ZG97F6?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=whamomnee-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B002ZG97F6">Diary of a Wimpy Kid</a> on DVD to review.  I was not sure it Wyatt was going to understand all the was happening, but he definitely got the gist.  Here was his explantation of the movie: &#8220;The movie was about a boy who was going to middle school and the stuff he did on the black-top wiht cheese and all.&#8221;  Wyatt thought it was super funny, especially the &#8220;zoo-wee mama&#8221; part, which included cartoon people and an acid puddle, according to him.  My nephew, who just turned 10, thinks this is the funniest movie ever!  I think it is great that there is a new movie out, which seems geared to young boys!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ZG97F6?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=whamomnee-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B002ZG97F6">Diary of a Wimpy Kid</a> is available for purchase now on Blu-Ray and DVD from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ZG97F6?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=whamomnee-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B002ZG97F6">Amazon.com</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=whamomnee-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B002ZG97F6" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />.  It has a running time of 94 minutes and is rated-PG.  The DVD version retails for $29.99 and the Blu-Ray version retails for $39,99. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With having two young boys in the house, we never have a lack of dinosaur items available.  They have play sets, stuffed animals, books, clothes, and more.  So, what better way to keep both kids entertained than with the <a href="http://pbskids.org/">PBS KIDS </a>series <a href="http://pbskids.org/dinosaurtrain/">Dinosaur Train</a>.   </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://pbskids.org/dinosaurtrain/"><img class="size-full wp-image-1711  aligncenter" title="Dinosaur_Train_Logo" src="http://whatmommiesneed.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Dinosaur_Train_Logo.jpg" alt="Dinosaur_Train_Logo" width="302" height="278" /></a></p>
<p>Here is the premise behind the <a href="http://pbskids.org/dinosaurtrain/">Dinosaur Train</a> series from their site:  <em>Dinosaur Train</em><em> embraces and celebrates the fascination that preschoolers have with both dinosaurs and trains, while encouraging basic scientific thinking skills as the audience learns about life science, natural history and paleontology. Each of the 40 half-hour episodes features Buddy, an adorable preschool age Tyrannosaurus Rex, and includes two 11-minute animated stories along with brief live action segments hosted by renowned paleontologist Dr. Scott Sampson. Young viewers can join Buddy and his adoptive Pteranodon family on a whimsical voyage through prehistoric jungles, swamps, volcanoes and oceans, as they unearth basic concepts in life science, natural history and paleontology.</em> </p>
<p>If your kids like dinosaurs, you can find Dinosaur Train on <a href="http://pbskids.org/">PBS KIDS </a>and check out their new one-hour television special, Dinosaur Train: Dinosaurs Under the Sea.  In this special, Buddy and his family embark on their first underwater adventure, where they explore Cretaceous, Jurassic, and Triassic oceans to learn about new aquatic creatures.  </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a><img class="size-medium wp-image-1710  aligncenter" title="dinosaur train under the sea dvd" src="http://whatmommiesneed.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/dinosaur-train-under-the-sea-dvd-193x300.jpg" alt="dinosaur train under the sea dvd" width="193" height="300" /></a> </p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003M986JI?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=whamomnee-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B003M986JI">Dinosaur Train: Dinosaurs Under the Sea</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=whamomnee-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B003M986JI" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> contains the following episodes:</p>
<p><em><strong>Elmer Elasmosaurus</strong> :The Pteranodon family travels on the Dinosaur Train with the Aquacar to an underwater train station to transport Elmer Elasmosaurus back to his home in the ocean. </em></p>
<p><em><strong>Carla Cretoxyrhina</strong>: On this underwater excursion, the Pteranodon family meets up with Carla Cretoxyrhina, a young shark who turns out to be much nicer than her reputation suggests. </em></p>
<p><em><strong>The Amazing Michelinoceras Brothers</strong>: The Pteranodon family travels deep underwater on the Dinosaur Train to view two backwards-bounding brothers named Max and Mitch Michelinoceras. </em></p>
<p><em><strong>Paulie Pliosaurus</strong>: The Pteranodon family takes the Dinosaur Train underwater to visit a marine reptile called Paulie Pliosaurus, a creature known as the &#8220;T. rex of the Ocean.&#8221; </em></p>
<p><em><strong>Elmer Visits the Desert</strong>: Our Pteranodon family takes their ocean friend Elmer Elasmosaurus on the Dinosaur Train to a place he&#8217;s never been before: the desert! </em></p>
<p><em><strong>Shiny&#8217;s Sea Shells</strong>: Shiny, with help from Buddy, Tiny and Don, looks for the shiniest sea shells she can find, but ends up making a new friend named Henry, a hermit crab. </em></p>
<p><em><strong>Jess Hesperornis</strong>: The Pteranodons venture to the Big Pond to find out if dinosaurs can live in the water. </em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em></em>Wyatt loves to play games, but finding ones that<strong> </strong>educate him while keeping him interested is difficult.  I like to see him try new things and challenge himself, because I feel that this is the best way for him to grow.  This is why I was really excited to find <a href="http://www.guidecraft.com">Guidecraft </a>and their selection of toys and <a href="http://www.guidecraft.com/products/134472">manipulatives</a>, especially their <a href="http://www.guidecraft.com/product/134472/G5060/_/FEEL_%26_FIND">Feel and Find Game</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.guidecraft.com/"><img class="size-full wp-image-1701  aligncenter" title="guidecraft logo" src="http://whatmommiesneed.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/guidecraft-logo.png" alt="guidecraft logo" width="115" height="166" /></a></p>
<p>Here is some information about Guidecraft from their site:  <em>Started in 1964 in a small woodshop, producing 10 items. We have continued to develop the line, which now includes over 580 educational toys and furnishings. Our size has changed, but our mission remains the same; stay true to the tradition of smart, beautifully crafted wood products, which allow children&#8217;s minds and imaginations room to truly wonder and grow. As we turn 46, we see that our best contributions lie in this commitment to continue doing what we do best, while always giving our loyal customers what they have come to expect; expert quality, excellent service and an ever growing collection of creativity inspiring products for children. Our playful furniture is a wonderful new extension of our line and we are delighted to present it to you. </em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.guidecraft.com/">Guidecraft</a> was nice enough to send me their <a href="http://www.guidecraft.com/product/134472/G5060/_/FEEL_%26_FIND">Feel and Find Game</a> for review.  It arrived well packaged in a cute colorful box, which immediately peeked Wyatt&#8217;s interest.  We then opened the box to find the game ready to play and here is a picture of what we found.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1702  aligncenter" title="guidecraft feel and find" src="http://whatmommiesneed.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/guidecraft-feel-and-find-300x225.jpg" alt="guidecraft feel and find" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p>We then quickly divided up the tiles, droped the shapes in the bag and started to play.  His first few turns, Wyatt would quickly grab a shape and pull it out, only to realize it was not the right one.  After watching me a few times, he learned to take his time and find what he was looking for.  He really started to learn how to feel for a specific shape, which was cool.  His favorite shape/tile was the man, which he was convinced was a &#8220;space person&#8221;.  Here is a picture of him concentrating on the shapes.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1703  aligncenter" title="wyatt feel and find game" src="http://whatmommiesneed.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/wyatt-feel-and-find-game-197x300.jpg" alt="wyatt feel and find game" width="197" height="300" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.guidecraft.com/product/134472/G5060/_/FEEL_%26_FIND">Guidecraft&#8217;s Feel and Find </a>game <em>contains 20 matching wooden shapes and printed tiles in a reusable, durable cloth bag. Deal out the tiles and have children reach into the bag to Feel &amp; Find the corresponding wooden shape. Play alone or in larger groups. A great visual and tactile exercise.</em>  </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.guidecraft.com/product/134472/G5060/_/FEEL_%26_FIND"><img class="size-full wp-image-1704  aligncenter" title="feel and find" src="http://whatmommiesneed.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/feel-and-find.jpg" alt="feel and find" width="354" height="354" /></a></p>
<p>This game is a great learning tool for children ages 3 and up and retails for $25.00, which is a great price for an all wood product.  Feel and Find can be purchased online from <a href="http://www.guidecraft.com/product/134472/G5060/_/FEEL_%26_FIND">Guidecraft</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>None of us like to see our babies sick.  They are always so sad looking and all you want to do is make them comfortable.  This sounds easier than it is most time, especially if you are having to give them medicine.  It always seems that my kids get the yucky tasting antibiotics when they are sick.  I was so happy the first time I learned about <a href="http://www.flavorx.com/">FLAVORx </a>at the pharmacy.  This is the stuff that they add to your kid&#8217;s medicines to make them taste better and it works wonders.  But, what do you do for over the counter meds?  FLAVORx has got the answer for you once again, with their newest product <a href="http://www.flavorx.com/medicinetimeflavorspray/">Yo Gabba Gabba Medicine-Time Spray</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flavorx.com/"><img class="size-full wp-image-1689  aligncenter" title="flavorx logo" src="http://whatmommiesneed.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/flavorx-logo.jpg" alt="flavorx logo" width="116" height="90" /></a></p>
<p>Here is some information about FLAVORx and their Yo Gabba Gabba Medicine Time Spray: <em> Over twelve years ago,  FLAVORx was founded on the simple idea that the taste of medicine should never come between your child and their good health.  It started at a community pharmacy with one flavor, Banana, developed for a child having serious difficulty taking anti-seizure medication.  The condition was life-threatening, and the fact that this young girl wouldn’t take her awful-tasting medicine was making things worse.  After much experimentation, we hit on a successful formula.  That girl took her banana-flavored medicine without any problems, her seizures subsided, and we had our “Aha” moment.  FLAVORx was born!  We now provide pharmacies with flavoring recipes for not just one drug, but hundreds of them including over-the-counter medicine .  And from that small community pharmacy, we’re now used in more than 35,000 pharmacies nationwide – from the biggest chain pharmacies, to your local mom &amp; pop store</em>. </p>
<p><em>FLAVORx and Yo Gabba Gabba! have teamed up to make the medicine-time experience better for you and your kids. A few sprays before and after taking medicine will help get the yuckies out. </em><a href="http://www.flavorx.com/medicinetimeflavorspray/"><em>Yo Gabba Gabba! Medicine-Time Flavor Spray </em></a><em>is:  <strong>SUGAR &amp; DYE FREE, NON-ALLERGENIC, GLUTEN &amp; CASEIN FREE, CREATED BY A PHARMACIST, and KID APPROVED.  </strong>This product is simple to use, you just spray (2-4 sprays) on the tongue and mouth, dispense medicine as directed, then spray again.  No yucky flavor to be seen.  </em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flavorx.com/medicinetimeflavorspray/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1691" title="YoGabbaGabba_MedicineTimeSpray" src="http://whatmommiesneed.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/YoGabbaGabba_MedicineTimeSpray.png" alt="YoGabbaGabba_MedicineTimeSpray" width="197" height="350" /></a><a href="http://www.flavorx.com/medicinetimeflavorspray/"></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.flavorx.com/">FLAVORx</a> was nice enough to send my boys a sample of their <a href="http://www.flavorx.com/medicinetimeflavorspray/">Yo Gabba Gabba Medicine-Time Spray</a> to try.  The medicine that they seem to fight the most is cough syrup, and honestly I can&#8217;t blame them.  Since we are in full swing with allergies, I didn&#8217;t have to wait long to give this product a try.  Wyatt was more than willing to be my guinea pig.  He opened wide and let me spray away.  He thought the flavor, which is berry, was yummy and really helped to mask the cough syrup taste.  This spray is going to make winter months go so much easier!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flavorx.com/medicinetimeflavorspray/">Yo Gabba Gabba Medicine-Time Spray</a> is available for purchase online from <a href="Yo Gabba Gabba Medicine-Time Spray">FLAVORx</a> or <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003V13K5W?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=whamomnee-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B003V13K5W">amazon.com</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=whamomnee-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B003V13K5W" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /><br />
and retails for $9.99.  One bottle is good for 200+ sprays and is ideal for kids ages 2 to 6.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a parent, I must say that shopping for <a href="http://www.carolinapad.com/">school supplies </a>is not as much fun as it was when I was a kid.  First of all, I am the one footing the bill and secondly, I don&#8217;t get to keep all the cool stuff we buy.  The only thing that helps to make up for these things is watching Wyatt have so much fun picking out what he thinks is &#8220;cool&#8221;.   He seems to be really drawn to some of the collections from <a href="http://www.carolinapad.com/our-brands/studioc.cfm">Studio C </a>by <a href="http://www.carolinapad.com/">Carolina Pad</a> selections, which are available at Wal-Mart, Target, Staples, Office Max, Michaels, CVS and more!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.carolinapad.com/"><img class="size-full wp-image-1685  aligncenter" title="carolina pad logo" src="http://whatmommiesneed.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/carolina-pad-logo.jpg" alt="carolina pad logo" width="559" height="180" /></a></p>
<p>Here is some information about Carolina Pad from their site:  <em>The Carolina Pad story begins in 1945 in Charlotte, North Carolina. That’s when Joseph K. Hall Jr. and several business associates managed to scrape up enough money and equipment to launch a school supply manufacturing company.  In 2000, Carolina Pad helped transform the stationery industry, by introducing fashion school and office products! With trendy design and great function, Carolina Pad notebooks, binders, and other school and office products stand out from the crowd.</em></p>
<p>Carolina Pad was nice enough to send my family a selection of products from their collections from Studio C.  I quickly put the box in my room when it arrived, so that I could pick what I wanted before Wyatt could get involved.LOL   I am in love with their <a href="http://www.carolinapad.com/subpage.cfm/page/collections/id/96F73E49-D7DD-48B2-8F82-6E8248F69CEC">Royal Twist </a>collection, and it almost makes me want to head back to the classroom.  Wyatt continues to pick their <a href="http://www.carolinapad.com/our-brands/sasquatch.cfm">Sasquatch collection</a> as his favorite, but I think <a href="http://www.carolinapad.com/subpage.cfm/page/collections/id/911AB3B8-C868-4068-B127-F8CAA343BE05">Techno</a> has caught his eye. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.carolinapad.com/"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1684  aligncenter" title="carolina pad 2010" src="http://whatmommiesneed.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/carolina-pad-2010-300x225.jpg" alt="carolina pad 2010" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>I am always impressed by the quality of Carolina Pad&#8217;s products.<strong>  </strong>Their notebooks are not only super cute, but also sturdy.  I love the magnetic closure, hard cover journal that I received, which is perfect for taking notes and still small enough to carry around.  Don&#8217;t be fooled by their pretty exteriors, because most of these products seem to have hidden perks.</p>
<p>If your child would go nuts over these snazzy designs, you can purchase the collections from <a href="http://www.carolinapad.com/our-brands/studioc.cfm">Studio C </a>by <a href="http://www.carolinapad.com/">Carolina Pad</a> at Wal-Mart, Target, Staples, Office Max, Michaels, CVS and more! These collections include:<em> Hot Chocolate,  Techno, Royal Twist, Zensational, Sasquatch, and Dreamsicle.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#8217;s face it, most kids love legos, but parents dread finding the little pieces all over their houses. Not to mention that nothing shoots pain straight through your foot, like stepping on a tiny lego when you are bare footed. I always seem to step on one when I am checking on Wyatt at night and have to stay quiet.  If you have ever stepped on legos or are just tired of seeing them all over your house, the check out <a href="http://www.box4blox.com/">Box4Blox</a>.</p>
<p>Here is some information about Box4Blox from their site:  <em>Peter &amp; Moira Botherway are the parents of four children, so like most families they have plenty of LEGOS and know all about the hassles of trying to keep Lego tidy in the home. The BOX4BLOX evolved from one of those classic “light bulb” moments, after Moira had spent nearly an hour sorting the kids’ Lego into a selection of plastic containers, only for our youngest to return home from pre-school and tip them all over the floor.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><a href="http://www.box4blox.com/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1669" title="box4blox" src="http://whatmommiesneed.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/box4blox.png" alt="box4blox" width="500" height="250" /></a></em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.box4blox.com/">Box4Blox</a> was nice enough to send me over one of the products for review.  I was stoked to get this in so that we could organize all of Wyatt&#8217;s Legos in one container.  What surprised me was how excited Wyatt was to organize his Legos.  He quickly helped me wrangle all his stray blocks and put them into the &#8220;box&#8221;.  He was even more thrilled when he saw that it also organized is blocks by size, which does keep him from dumping his entire collection of blocks!    Here is a video of Wyatt showing you how the Box4Blox works:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcobpjzQXl0"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="350" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kcobpjzQXl0" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kcobpjzQXl0"></embed></object></a></p>
<p>Overall, I think the <a href="http://www.box4blox.com/">Box4Blox</a> is a great product!  Wyatt has been much better about picking up his Legos after playing.  The only thing I would change is that I would like to see the top snap on instead of just sitting there.  It does fit in, but can slide off if knocked.  The Box is definitely a better option when compared to the ziplocs and cardboard boxed we were using before. </p>
<p>The Box4Blox retails for $39.95 and can be purchased from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003LTWJN8?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=whamomnee-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B003LTWJN8">amazon.com</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=whamomnee-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B003LTWJN8" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />.  If you are tired of your house looking like the Lego Factory has exploded in it, then this product is for you!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As the mother of two boys, I quickly learned the importance of always carrying a first aid kit.  The running joke is that it is not a family outing without a trip to the hospital, and sadly enough, we have seen many of them.LOL  My boys are rough and play hard, which often results in many bo-bos. And, no matter how bad the injury, a fancy Band-Aid will always make it better.  The more recognizable the character, the better the Band-Aid seems to work.  Thanks to <a href="http://www.bandaid.com/">Band-Aid</a>, who just released Toy Story 3 and Retro Mickey Band-Aids, my boys will be feeling good.  Another must have for my first aid kit is <a href="http://www.neosporin.com/">Neosporin</a>, which is the perfect size as Neo-To-Go.</p>
<p>Here is some information on all three of the above products:</p>
<p><strong>Toy Story BAND-AID® Brand Decorated Adhesive Bandages: </strong><em>Bring the characters of Toy Story 3 home and make healing fun with BAND-AID Decorated Adhesive Bandages that feature Toy Story 3 characters and scenes. These are perfect to bring to the beach, camp or on your next summer road trip! These can be purchased at nationwide drugstores or online at <a href="http://www.target.com">target.com</a>.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.bandaid.com/"><img class="size-full wp-image-1632  aligncenter" title="toy story band aid" src="http://whatmommiesneed.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/toy-story-band-aid.gif" alt="toy story band aid" width="164" height="164" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Mickey BAND-AID® Brand Decorated Adhesive Bandages: </strong><em>Character Band-Aids are not just for kids anymore!  Many moms are big fans of decorated bandages, which is why Disney and Band-Aid have introduced a first-of-its-kind Band-Aid designed specifically for adults &#8211; Adult Mickey Band-Aids. The designs feature the iconic Mickey Mouse in a retro style that allows moms to show some personality and flair while covering up and healing cuts and scrapes. They are packaged in a sleek and stylish black box and the Band-Aids themselves contain some of the season&#8217;s hottest colors and some fun Disney-inspired patterns.  They are fashion accessories all their own! These can be purchased at Target stores.</em></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.bandaid.com/"><img class="size-full wp-image-1631 aligncenter" title="mickey  band aid images" src="http://whatmommiesneed.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/mickey-band-aid-images.jpg" alt="mickey  band aid images" width="276" height="164" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.bandaid.com/"></a></p>
<p><strong>NEOSPORIN® NEO TO GO!® First Aid Antiseptic/Pain Relieving Spray: </strong><em>Since too much summertime fun outside can often lead to minor cuts and scrapes, NEOSPORIN® NEO TO GO!® First Aid Antiseptic/Pain Relieving Spray is great to have on hand.  It is specially designed to fit anywhere to give you infection protection on the go.  These can be purchased at nationwide drugstores or online at <a href="http://www.drugstore.com">drugstore.com</a>.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><a href="http://www.neosporin.com/neotogo/neotogo.asp?sec=0&amp;page=0&amp;from=0"><img class="size-full wp-image-1633  aligncenter" title="neotogo_spray" src="http://whatmommiesneed.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/neotogo_spray.jpg" alt="neotogo_spray" width="158" height="250" /></a></em></p>
<p>Band-Aid and Neosporin were nice enough to send me samples of all the above products listed for review.  My hubby was quite happy to see the Mickey Band-Aids and thought they were super cool.  Both Wyatt and Blake insisted they had a bo-bo that needed a Toy Story 3 Band-Aid when they saw the box in their bathroom.  I must admit that I think all the new styles are adorable and will have to get some girly ones just for me.LOL  The Neo-To-Go is a must have item and works great while at the playground.  It helps disinfect a wound on the spot, with just a few sprays.</p>
