Something I learned over my many years is that self actualization can actually help you a lot more than you think.  If you hear something enough, you will actually start to believe it.  As an adult, this works well for self worth and losing weight (repeat 50 – 100 times in the mirror everyday that you are worth it and you can do it.  Do this with a diet and excercide routine and it’ll help!).  That being said, this can work for children too!  That is where Manifest Your Magnificence comes in.  The Manifest Your Magnificence Cd contains 64 affirmation messages for your children.  The messages encourge your children to be the best they can be.  There also is a Manifest Your Magnificence card set.  This is 64 affirmation cards that help your child’s self esteem.  Some examples are “you are a shining star” and “I make a positive difference in the world”.  Madison likes the illustrations on the cards, and we have even been able to talk about that.  With so much negativity in the world, this is an easy way to help remind your child how special and great they really are.

If you have athletes in your house, you definitely need to look into getting some Cleatskins.  This is one of those products that it is hard to believe no one has come up with before, because it is so genius.  They are designed to fit over cleated shoes and quickly and conveniently take athletes from the field to the street.  These fit over all types of cleats:  baseball, soccer, football and more.  I remember when I played soccer in high school, and I would have at least two pairs, if not three pairs, of shoes I brought school.  I hated that after practice or a game, we always had to change into a different pair of schools.  I know that this is something we will definitely be investing in when my kids get a tad older and are in sports.  All of the floors in my house are real hardwood, and I will not have them marking it up.  They also protecting your cleats from wear and tear, and are machine washable (that has to be a mom favorite right there!).  It also creates a sealed barrier which keeps dirt and grass out of your home and car.

If you have an athlete in your family, this is the perfect Christmas gift.  These come in a multitude of sizes and colors, so you should have no problem finding a Cleatskin for the favorite athlete in your life.

Have you tried the Weight Watchers Golden Sponge Cake yet?  If you like Twinkies, you will love these, and they are way better for you.  I’ll admit, I didn’t think it could be done.  However, I was pleasantly surprised when I took my first bite of the Weight Watchers Golden Sponge Cake and I loved it!  Now, these are not the same size as a Twinkie;  they are smaller.  However, they count as only 1 point and are under 100 calories!  I love that Weight Watchers understands that we can’t all live without sweets forever (well, I can’t).  You can easily eat just one of these, and not ruin your diet.  It definitely quenched my sweet tooth.

The Weight Watchers Golden Sponge Cake allows you to indulge without feeling guilty (well, that’s if you only eat one or two of them).  Enjoy this healthy snack the next time your sweet tooth is craving some sweetness!

A great bedtime book is Goodnight, Thumper. This book is about Thumper not being sleepy and going around the forest saying goodnight to everyone. Don’t you remember the days when our biggest concern was staying awake as long as we could?  Since this is a Disney book, the illustrations are awesome.  They are so detailed and gorgeous.  This is a great book for any family that reads to their kids before bedtime.

Back in April, I wrote a review on the That Baby CD and DVD.  They both are still a huge hit in my house.  The part I love most about the songs that are on there is that they aren’t kid songs.  You won’t find yourself climbing the walls with some sing songy tunes.  These are covers written by some of the best artists of our time:  Fleetwood Mac, Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, Natalie Merchant, The Beatles, and The Pretenders.  You will find yourself singing along with a lot of these songs.  This CD is played every time Will goes to bed (naptime or nighttime).  That is how great I think this is!

Now, they are sure you are going to love this DVD and CD.  If you don’t, they have a money back guarantee.  They also offer free replacement of scratched or damaged discs too.  (This is worth its weight in gold!).  For those of us who want to be enviromentally friendly, they are made in the US with recyclable materials.  If you do purchase them, free shipping and handling in the US (you all know how much I adore free shipping!)  Also, if you need it quickly for a baby shower or birthday that you forgot about, call them.  They will figure something out to get it to you in time!  How awesome is that customer service?

Now, I have kept in touch with the awesome company who makes these unique baby gifts, and the owner agreed to give away a copy of the That Baby DVD and CD away to one of my lucky readers!!!  This contest will be open to all my readers.  To quote the owner:  “Kids around the world need to rock, so we’re open to all of them!”  I am going to run it until the end of the month (July 31st) till 8 PM CST.  So what do you need to do to enter?
