Review and GIVEAWAY!

 I was recently given the opportunity to review a new Wii game called Just Dance Kids. I also get to give away a copy! After you read the review, scroll to the bottom to see how you can win your own copy of Just Dance Kids, just in time for a Christmas present! The contest will only go through this Sunday, November 28th because I'm having surgery on Monday! 


 My winner was Jill at The Diaper Diaries!  Congrats!









 Instead of reviewing it on my own, I decided to let my 11 year old daughter be the reviewer!  

Here is Bailey's review:
I think that Just Dance Kids is very fun. The graphics were cute- kids were dressed in costumes. It was also cool that kids sing the songs.  Just Dance Kids  is probably best for kids 8 and under.  Even the older kid songs were a little young for me, but it was still fun.  My favorite song was the Hamster Dance- one of the younger kids songs.  That's the one that is in the video. It was my favorite because it was so funny.  The younger kids songs were perfect for kids 5 and under.  The background is also cute because each song has a different cartoon background. I recommend Just Dance Kids for any kids 8 and under- it would be a great gift! - Bailey






So, as you can see, Bailey and her bff Reece enjoyed it, even though it really was a little young.  There are a lot of fun things that happen during the song- like freeze and shake it- that earn you points.  For the younger kids, there are songs from The Wiggles and Yo Gabba Gabba! Even if the girls thought it a little young and probably would prefer the Just Dance 2 game, I still have caught them playing it quite a few times over the past few days!  It's an addictive and great way to get exercise and burn calories!


Here is Amazon's description:

Works for me Wednesday

Last month, I was sifting through the shirts at Goodwill (where I often find great Hollister shirts for my 11 year old!) when I picked up a fabulous long-sleeved Abercrombie shirt in my daughter's size.  That's when I noticed a large grease stain. I mumbled and grumbled about it when a woman an aisle over suggested I use Dawn on it.  Huh?  Dawn dishwashing soap?  Yep.  I smiled and nodded and put the shirt back.

A few weeks later I was at the grocery store and remembered what she said.  I bought an extra bottle of Dawn for my laundry room. I grabbed a shirt of mine that had a grease stain on the front. I squirted some Dawn on it and left it.  The next day I washed it with my next wash.  Guess what?  The stain was GONE!

Since then I have rewashed a bunch of my shirts that had grease stains and EVERY one of them is gone- all with a squirt of Dawn overnight.  Wow.

Thank you Goodwill stranger...I wish I had trusted you enough to buy an Abercrombie shirt for $3!
