I don’t normally do this but for once I’m not having a giveaway, I’m asking for your help in winning a giveaway. Ile de France Gourmet Cheeses is having a Bash for Cash Appetizer Recipe Contest and I’ve entered. Thanks to Ile de France‘s offer to bloggers, I was able to receive a cheese of my choice to enter. I chose the Brie Cheese and made a pastry-covered brie with candied pecans and jalepeno pepper jelly. At this stage in the competition, entries will be narrowed down by votes which is kind of a bummer because it’s more of a popularity contest vs. skill and presentation of the recipe.

This is where I could use your help and all those you know! Please visit my page and vote for appetizer, email your friends and family so they¬†can do the same,¬†and I will be eternally grateful–especially if I win the $1000 prize!!

Thanks to Role Mommy, I was able to try out a sampler CD for the new Little Music Lovers series of CDs. My kids and I love them! There is such a nice variety of¬†music done in a professional way so that you’ll be exposing your children to the fantastic world of classical music. We listen to the CD over and over. And I think the Brahm’s Lullaby is one of the most beautiful versions I’ve heard!

 

UNIVERSAL MUSIC CLASSICAL RELEASES LITTLE MUSIC LOVERS

A NEW CD SERIES ON DECCA FOR YOUNG CHILDREN      

Available Online and in Stores in time for Holiday Season

October 2009 (New York, NY) – Little Music Lovers, a four CD series for children was released today by Universal Music Classical in time for the holiday season. The music collections provide parents with an opportunity to introduce their babies and toddlers to the world around them by incorporating beautiful, thought-provoking music from the famous Decca catalog.

Little Music Lovers contains famous works by renowned composers such as Bach, Beethoven and Mozart along with well-known lullabies that will accompany little ones through all of their daily activities including play time, story time and of course, bed time.

Classical music is believed by some researchers to cause “The Mozart Effect,” a phenomenon that can potentially aid in the development of math, reasoning and memory skills, while also giving babies and toddlers a head start on learning language.

The musical pieces found in the Little Music Lovers collection were carefully selected for their melodic content, as well as their impact in enhancing early childhood development. Children will learn from the series, while parents can enjoy many hours of beautiful music.

Little Music Lovers is available for sale at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Borders among other participating retailers. For more information regarding this music release, visit www.LittleMusicLovers.com

“Thanksgiving is the perfect time to bring everyone together to celebrate a year of blessings.

Give your gracious gathering a heartwarming start with my personal favorite, Joshua Bell’s new album, At Home With Friends and greet guests at your door with a vibrant cocktail, such as a Cinema Paradisio. The main attraction is food, so try turning your main dish into a colorful centerpiece. For a quick and easy dessert try Semi-Homemade Brownie Bottom Cheesecake, so you can spend less time in the kitchen and more time celebrating with your family and friends.” – Sandra Lee

Cinema Paradiso – Beverage (alcohol eliminated from recipe since Savings Diner does not condone alcoholic beverages)

*Tip from Sandra: “Re-name your cocktails for a signature touch and serve them in an array of glasses in different shapes and sizes for a glamorous effect.  If you have a special album playing, review your song list and allow the song titles to inspire your cocktails, ie. Peach Cider can be turned into “Cinema Paradiso” to match the beautiful duet of the same name on Joshua Bell’s  new album At Home With Friends. Brilliant!”

2 cans (11.5 ounces each) peach nectar

Christmas ’09 Gift Guide

 

Has your child always wanted a hamster but you didn’t want the mess, the extra responsibility? Well, look no further. Zhu Zhu Pets has the answer for both of you with their line of battery-operated hamsters–complete with fun habitats and activities! These little fury creatures zoom around tunnels from place to place, drive cars, surf and skateboard and provide hours of fun for your children! They make little noises like hamster plus a few extra fun noises when they bump into things, snore when they sleep, etc.

Zhu Zhu Pets is¬†one of the¬†hottest toys this Christmas season! Thanks to MomSelect, I was able to have a Zhu Zhu party for my daughter’s 9th birthday. The kit included enough hamsters for my kids and their friends plus a lot of the habitat pieces. My kids have enjoyed playing with them in the habitats and out. They like racing them across the kitchen floor and wooden floors, too!

My only warning is if you have a small child with long hair who likes to lay on the ground while playing, keep the hamsters away from their hair. The wheels can “suck up” the hair and make a big tangled mess. Yes, I’m speaking from experience. I’m not sure how it all happened and thankfully we were able to dislodge the hair and not have to cut it. So, just a word of caution. Ponytails are good to have! hehe

Zhu Zhu Pets (from www.zhuzhupets.com)

Zhu Zhu Pets‚Ñ¢ are available as five different characters:

• Zhu Zhu Pets™ Patches
• Zhu Zhu Pets™ Chunk
• Zhu Zhu Pets™ PipSqueak
• Zhu Zhu Pets™ Mr. Squiggles
• Zhu Zhu Pets™ Num Nums

In addition to the five hamsters, multiple Zhu Zhu Pets‚Ñ¢ accessories are also available for purchase, allowing kids to collect and connect them all to create their own customized hamster habitats. Zhu Zhu Pets‚Ñ¢ accessories include:

• Hamster funhouse
• Hamster wheel and tunnel
• Hamster-mobile and garage
• Spiral slide and ramp
• Adventure ball
• Surfboard and sleep dome
• Skateboard and U-turn
• Pet bed and blanket

Zhu Zhu Pets™ are available for sale at Wal-Mart, Toys“R”Us, Target,  and other select retailers.
