Product Reviews by The Experimental Mommy
Mom and Baby Product Review and Giveaway Blog
We don’t go to the movies very often…it’s expensive for a family of four! So when we do, it has to be a movie the kids are dying to see. The last movie we ventured to see was Cars 2 and we were not dissappointed. The girls both loved it (my husband and I chuckled a bit, too), so we are thrilled that Cars 2 is making it’s way to Blu-ray so we can enjoy it again at home!
Juicy Juice is helping you get into “spy mode” by offering special limited edition Cars 2 Juicy Juice packages and even a website with plenty of fun spy games to enjoy. Enroll in Spy School and you can print a spy journal and create your very own spy name….mine was Sasha La Belle (that’s sooooo much better than Bridgette, right?).

My girls are just starting to really get into the Halloween traditions. Dressing up and going trick or treating are our usual holiday highlights. But ever since my husband and I were married, we have made it a tradition to go to the pumpkin patch and carve a pumpkin together. Once we had children, we had even more fun by having them help us select the all important family pumpkin.
The pumpkin has become a centerpiece during this holiday in more ways than one! Because our kids are little, they can be quite scared of this holiday as well, so we have sought out non-scary parties for them to attend. Their favorite one has been a pumpkin carving party! Each child brought a pumpkin and the party hosts provided templates, paints, glitter, stickers….everything the kids needed to let their imaginations run wild. The party guests showed up in costume and the carving began!
Are you planning on having a Halloween party this year? If you are looking for fun and unique party ideas, check out this Juicy Juice recipe from Nestle:
FOR FLOATING HANDS:
POUR water into gloves, adding enough water to fill the gloves loosely but not so full that the fingers will not move. Fasten gloves with rubber bands or twist ties. Line baking sheet with paper towels. Place filled gloves on paper towels. Freeze for 3 hours or until firm.
FOR PUNCH:
COMBINE Juicy Juice and lemonade concentrate in large punch bowl. Gradually stir in soda. Carefully cut gloves off hands with scissors. Float hands in punch.
