Zhu Zhu Pets
Life has been a little crazy these days. J is at the stage where he wants everything he sees on TV. We've even tried saying that if he's good Santa will bring it for him at Christmas time. His response "No, daddy will it buy it for me from the toy store." So you can only imagine how thrilled I was when he started asking for more pets (please note the sarcasm in my tone).I love animals. We have 2 dogs. But let's be realistic, one more pet means one more thing to add to my to-do list. One more pet really means a lot more clean up. Kind of like when baby L was born and he added about 4 more loads of laundry per week. OK enough whining.
When I was contacted about trying out the new Zhu Zhu Pets I was excited because it was a great answer for J. It was the pet he wanted without the mess for me to clean up.
Meet the gang - Mr. Squiggles, Num Nums, Chunk, and Pipsqueak. Each with their own unique personalities and whimsical sounds.Loving Mode:
Pet them, love them, hear them squeak and chatter
Explore Mode:
Let them scoot, scamper, bump & boogie across the floor or through their Hamster Habitat
These adorable animals made J laugh. They run around the house forward and backward while making different sounds including mooing like a cow ha! J put the whole set together and just let the Zhu Zhu Pets go. They ran around the different rooms and if they went into a corner they were able to turn themselves around and go out again. J's favorite pieces were the car and surfboard for Chunk. He was a little hesitant but finally shared Zhu Zhu Pets with some friends. This was a great interactive toy for the kids.
I will say they don't just shut off automatically when you're done playing. They actually keep going for a quiet a while. I remember one night watching tv and hearing some squeaking long after J had gone to bed. Don't worry though they do eventually turn themselves off.
Zhu Zhu Pets are in stores now! They're available at Toys R Us, Amazon and Target to name just a few. Grab your pet now before they're gone!

Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters Review and Giveaway
Nature Valley is "re-shaping" snack time. I grew up on Nature Valley granola bars in my lunches so I was excited to try their new Granola Nut Clusters. The Nut Clusters are bite sized pieces of 100% natural ingredients that include select roasted nuts, whole grain oats and a touch of honey. There are 4 varieties, Honey Roasted Peanut, Cashew, Nut Lovers and Roasted Almonds all in resealable bags. I received this fabulous "snack pack" prize pack from MyBlogSpark that included the four varieties of Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters (This picture only shows 3 varieties because hubby opened and finished the cashew pack before I could take a picture) a sling backpack, stainless steel water bottle, flashlight and binoculars.
I love honey roasted peanuts so needless to say that was my favorite of the four. The bite sized pieces made it easy to grab a handful as I was running out the door to take J to preschool. Because of their size, I didn't have to worry about crumbs in the car since you can just pop one in your mouth. We liked how each cluster was full of nuts but they weren't overpowering. You could still taste the granola and the touch of honey. It was a great combination of salty and sweet in one bite.Do you want to try these new Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters?
