Wild Bunch Zhu Zhu Pets are going to be in the Welcome Wagon!

What mayhem was going on last Saturday at my house?  There were plastic straws on the floor...kids giggling and ultimately a lot of fun chaos but then you should expect nothing less if you invite Wild Bunch Zhu Zhu Pets to your party.  I got some quick video of them causing the mayhem but those sneaky little things went and deleted the video PROVING once and for all it was them ... the video may have been accidentally deleted by me but my gut says .. the Wild Bunch was behind the destruction of evidence!

These little Wild Bunch Zhu Zhu pets are beyond adorable and a ton of fun for the kids!  And some {Big Kids} that will remain nameless so they may show up at work tomorrow with their secret kept!

Thanks to MomSelect we had the pleasure of reviewing the Wild Bunch Zhu Zhu pets at my hubby's birthday party and they were a hit!  "The Wild Bunch" which includes Sweetie the Pink Bunny, Rocco the Raccoon, ZuZu the Hedgehog, and Stinker the Skunk are famous for being mischievous...sounds like the perfect partners for some little ones I know!  It took about half a second before they were out of the box and scurrying around the floor. I am sure these little guys are going to be super popular especially during the holidays...you can find this little one called "Sweetie" at Toys R Us for $9.99  but online they are currently sold out!

I was delighted to be chosen to receive a Wild Bunch Zhu Zhu party package to review and since we were sent 11 Wild little guys the ones that were not open will be placed in the "Welcome Wagon" as to be donated to the Ronald McDonald House in Fort Lauderdale through Mami on a McMission!  I can just imagine a nurse doing rounds and having to jump out of the way cause one of these little guys is causing mayhem and bringing smiles at a local hospital!

Disclosure: Thank You to MomSelect for providing us the opportunity to have these little guys show up at our house. The Wild Bunch Zhu Zhu pets were sent free of charge for the purpose of the review.  All opinions expressed are my own.  Your opinion may be different.  No other form of compensation was received.

Thank You Storkie.com - They created the invites for Donation Day!!

I have ordered some beautiful invites in the past but I have never had a site with a video tutorial that literally walks me through how to customize my invitations!  That is what you can expect from Storkie.com.

This site has all types of invitations from hip baby shower invites ranging from traditional to custom photo invitations.  Don't forget the birth announcements because they can do thos for you too!

Now, if you don't have a baby shower to plan you may want to look at the super cute birthday invites.  They have a variety to pick from as well as Thank You cards.
I was able to customize some beautiful invitations with Storkie.com to invite my friends and family to join us on December 29th at the Ronald McDonald House in Fort Lauderdale to help serve dinner and donate the "Welcome Wagon".

I can tell you that the invites were beautiful but what was super impressive was the customer service.  I received a phone call when an item that I had placed on the invitation did not line up correctly...it would have been easy to print and mail them for I had approved it online but instead they made sure that the invites were exactly what I intended them to be.  I chose the "Heavenly baby" card to send out...it seemed fitting since the "Welcome Wagon" will be donated in honor of our daughter, Savannah, and our donor angel.  A sample of the invite is above.  The other beautiful thing we received were pre-addressed envelopes...a beautiful touch to the invite.

I am delighted to announce that Storkie Express Inc. is a {Blogmania} Sponsor and even more delighted to share that they created beautiful custom invites for Mami on a McMission's donation day.

Storkie.com will be giving the {Blogmania} winner 20 invitations, return address printing and free ground shipping!

Balloonatiks Review coming soon...

I just heard from Balloonatiks and they will be sending me a copy for Savvy to review on Florida Frugal Family...and an extra copy for the "Welcome Wagon".  I will post the review when we get it.

If you are a blogger and want to help please drop me an email...I could use all of the help I can get!

THANK YOU to all of the wonderful companies who are opening their hearts to Mami on a McMission!

Thank You for Caring Bunnyprints.com!

My husband is having a birthday next month and it is super special to us!  His birthday will mark a year anniversary for my daughter.  A year of not having one hospitalization!!  She has been to the ER this year and of course had her labs drawn but not one night was spent hospitalized....this time last year she picked up a virus and was doing really bad...she was fighting for her life {again}.

My princess finally came home but it took a while for her to get better...

 So, you can imagine the joy in our hearts to know that she has been doing so well for so long...2 years ago she had a liver transplant.  Last year she got so ill...so very ill...and today...she is on the sofa next to me thrilled to be snacking on pretzels and watching Sesame Street.  This is the ULTIMATE Birthday Gift any parent can ask for.
Our family has a mission and we want to donate a "Welcome Wagon" to the Ronald McDonald House in Fort Lauderdale - you can read about it HERE. 

I wish I had a better picture to share because frankly my picture does not do the invitation justice.  I had to put a piece of paper over our address but if you go to Buunyprints.com you can see the image of the invite so much better and then you can check out the other super cute cards they have to offer.

I have to tell you how wonderful Bunnyprints.com is....they created these invites for my husband's birthday party.  I know you can't read the bottom of the invite based on the picture but it says, "In lieu of a birthday gift for Robert we ask that you bring a new toy to be donated to the Ronald McDonald House in Fort Lauderdale through our families mission.  You may learn more about our mission at http://MamiOnaMcMission.blogspot.com/"

I can tell you that the invites at Bunnyprints.com are adorable and the "company" has a huge heart.  I am delighted to be working with them as a Blogmania sponsor!  Yes, you will be able to enter to win a prize package from Bunnyprints during Blogmania and thrilled to have their support on Mami on a McMission!

Thank you Bunnyprints.com!

Thank You Beantown Toys Company!

I had the pleasure of surprising my little girl with a new cute toy to {review} and as a Mami this is just the best part....I got to let her choose which one she wanted to play with and which she wanted to share with the little boys and girls at the Ronald McDonald House.  So funny...as if on cue as I am typing this review Savvy just walked in asking for her Beanbot.

Beantown Toys Company did not ask me to post a review on my blog - they simply asked me to fill out a questionnaire and send it back to them because they wanted the feedback of the kids and the parents.  I decided to post the review simply because they are super cute and wanted to share.  

The toys are designed for children who are 4 and older.  I had her play with it with a little friend who is 4 and of course...I played with her new little bean friend.  The girls thought the little bean was "cute" and really liked the spoon.  My only issue was that they had trouble putting the little arms and legs back on him so that was Mami duty.  If my nephews had been in town they would have LOVED it but they are a few years older and thus a bit stronger...I think the age range of 6-9 is perfect for these little Cute Beantown Toys.  If you want to purchase your own you can go HERE.

I want to thank Beantown Toys Company for sending me the Review toys.  They were delighted to hear that I would be sharing the toys with the children at the Ronald McDonald House through Mami on a McMission. 


Disclosure:  The toys were sent to me free of charge for the purpose of the review.  I was not compensated in any other manner for this review.  The opinions are my own.

Current Needs...

I am still looking for new toys.  I have a new review and donation that will be up this week that I am excited about but I still need a lot more toys ... more importantly I still need the actual {Red Wagon}.  If you or your company would like to donate the "Welcome Wagon" please contact me.

Thank You! Live Simply Children's Health Journal!

I feel super lucky to work with companies and provide reviews and giveaways for the readers of my blog...but sometimes I come across a product that I wish I could share with everyone {All} over not just my blog!  The Live Simply Children's Health Journal is just one of those products.  I know it is a {journal}...a pretty journal...so what is the big deal?

This is the journal every new parent should be given at their baby shower.  This is the journal that will help so many people out on a day in and day out basis when you are lacking sleep and running to the pediatrician for a check up....I mean...at times admit it...we forget to shower during those early days of awe and panic...okay...well...I {Forgot} to Shower.

If you have followed my blog then you know that my daughter was born sick.  This was something we were not prepared for.  We had no idea the amount of doctors and blood draws she would have to go through in such a short amount of time.  I truly wish I had a journal like the Live Simply Children's Health Journal when she was born.  I kept a journal of my own.  I made it from a notebook and had to keep track but what I never managed to do my journal an organized manner that I was happy with.  I kept copies of the list of her medications (up to 19 four times a day at one point) and would walk into the ER and give every nurse and resident a copy that even looked at my daughter.  I did not want anyone to misunderstand a {very tired} Mami nor misspell anything...I would have loved to have had these neatly placed in the pocket in my journal as the Live Simply Children's Health Journal provides.  I would have loved to have had an organized space for business cards that we received from the drs......I {Know} and I am {GRATEFUL} that not everyone has the medical experiences that we have had with our daughter but I would Still RECOMMEND the Live Simply Children's Health Journal 100 % for any new parent.

If you know a parent whose child is in the hospital or who has a chronic illness...don't buy them chocolates as a gift when you visit them...Buy them the Live Simply Children's Health Journal and get it to them..Trust Me...It will be so appreciated!

The journal retails for $19.95.

On a personal note:
I am delighted to share with you that Live Simply Health Journals is supporting my efforts with Mami on a McMission.  A journal was sent along to be placed in the "Welcome Wagon"... so that a parent with a new baby may benefit from this journal.  Thank You For Caring!
