AURORA HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE REVIEW & GIVEAWAY

I don’t know about you, but my daughter has a thing for stuffed animals. Aurora Gifts has some of the cutest stuffed toys around!

Aurora is the leading supplier of affordable, high quality plush toys and gifts, and YooHoo & Friends is one of Aurora's top selling product line.

YooHoo & Friends are based on endangered animals.

Aurora’s international toy phenomenon YooHoo & Friends™ aims to please kids and collectors with the release of uber-hip YooHoo & Friends dressed in 60s, 70s and 80s retro styles. The collection is fashioned after some of the most famous pop culture icons of those decades (think Elvis, Madonna, Travolta from Saturday Night Fever etc.). The medium sized, five inch “retro” YooHoo & Friends are available in seven styles including 70s Love, Punk Rocker, Pop Singer, Vegas, Flash Dancer, British Rocker and Disco Dancer. The larger, eight inch versions include Punk Rocker, 70s Love, Flash Dancer and Pop Singer. Both sizes make sounds when squeezed (MSRP: medium-$8.99, large-$14.99). YooHoo & Friends™ created the corresponding interactive website www.yoohoofriends.com, so kids and their parents can learn more about the animals (many endangered) and their natural habitats. Membership is free. On the site, visitors can play scores of games, download desktop backgrounds and coloring sheets, send e-cards, raise their own YooHoo & Friends character and much more. YooHoo & Friends is on Facebook (http://facebook.com/yoohoofanpage) and Twitter: @yoohoofriends. The brand is geared towards ages 5 years old to tweens, but can skew beyond that group (i.e.: collectors). Shop Aurora and YooHoo & Friends online at http://shop.auroragift.com.

Dreamy Eyes™ feature loveable expressions, big eyes and appealing cuddle material that just melts in your hands. 13 brand new styles include tiger, pony, pig, cow, lion, elephant, monkey, giraffe, cat, pug, Chihuahua, frog and lamb (10”, bean filled; MSRP: $12.99). Perfect for ages two and up! Visit Aurora online at www.auroragift.com or on Facebook at www.facebook.com/auroraworld. Shop Aurora online at http://shop.auroragift.com.

Get your “Grrrrrr” on with Aurora’s all new Paws Puppets. Nicely stuffed with velboa plush, ‘Paws’ are not your traditional sleeve puppet. The soft claws (not hard plastic) complement the paw pad detailing. The 100 percent soft puppets are available in six styles including White Tiger, Leopard, Black Panther, Bengal Tiger, Polar Bear and Lion (MSRP: $12.99). Aurora’s Paws Puppets are also great products for schools or sports teams with animal mascots. Ages three and up. Visit Aurora online at www.auroragift.com or on Facebook at www.facebook.com/auroraworld. Shop Aurora online at http://shop.auroragift.com.

One of Aurora’s best selling lines, Fancy Pals, features the original Pet Carriers -- a purse and plush animal in one. The plush animals are interchangeable – kids have fun mixing and trading the animals to other carriers. Three new styles include “Sweet…Sweet…Sweet,” a pink poodle in a heart shaped bag with the word “sweet” embroidered on the side; “I Heart U,” a purple kitten and fancy pink bag embroidered with “I © U”; and “Love” (pictured) featuring an adorable black and white puppy in a flashy pink bag embroidered with shiny hearts and the word “love” (carriers vary from six to eight inches in size, depending on style; MSRP: $12). Visit Aurora online at www.auroragift.com or on Facebook at www.facebook.com/auroraworld. Shop Aurora online at http://shop.auroragift.com.

Retailers know Aurora’s go-to monkeys with personality, lovable smiles and signature banana in the tail, Cheeky Charlie™& Carmen™, fly off store shelves. Three newer styles in the line include Cheeky Charlie “Rock Star” which features Charlie with a Mohawk, sporting a guitar and t-shirt (14.5 inches). Cheeky Charlie Surfer (14.5 inches) in a visor and board shorts is ready to hit the beach with his surfboard. Cheeky Charlie Zoo Keeper (14.5 inches), Wrangler Cheeky Charlie (pictured, 14.5 inches) and Carmen “BFF” (pictured, 14.5 inches) are some other top items in the line. Each monkey’s Velcro hands make “hanging out” easy! Ages three and up. All “14.5 inch” Cheeky Charlie & Carmen styles retail with a suggested price of $17. Visit Aurora online at www.auroragift.com or on Facebook at www.facebook.com/auroraworld. Shop Aurora online at http://shop.auroragift.com.

STRONG MAMAS MOMS/KIDS EXERCISE DVD REVIEW

Strong Mamas offers fitness and wellness programs that are FUN and realistic for your busy life right now!! Are you ready to do crunches with your children sitting on your stomach or legs? Lunging while balancing a toddler? Squatting and hugging a baby at the same time? Then Strong Mamas is just the right exercise plan for you!

Whether you are attending Strong Mamas classes, following an online Strong Mamas personal training program, or doing the Strong Mamas/Fit Families exercise DVD, you don’t need a babysitter. Moms get stronger and relieve stress in a guilt free environment and the children laugh while their moms have fun. Everyone wins.

The children will exercise with their moms for a little while and then go play…and then return to be picked up or to jump up and down again. Sometimes it may look or seem a little hectic or chaotic…but it is this very energy that makes it all work!!

Fit Families has three 20 minute workouts which will help you to get fit and reduce feelings of stress, while you exercise with our real moms and kids. Whether you have an infant, toddler, school aged child or teen, you will be able to exercise alone or as a family now! Mom and kid tested, physician approved!

Three Great Workouts!

*Take it from the top!

*Metabolic Madness!

*Pump it up!

A Comprehensive Exercise Program For Moms and Kids!!!

Whether you are working out with your kids or alone, this video is a great workout. It incorporates strength training with cardio. There are five workouts. The first three are 23 minutes and focus on the upper body, the lower body and the full body, respectively. The last two sections are each 5 minutes. One is for kids only and the second is a 5 minute intense workout. What is great about this video is that you can choose to do just one workout or a combination of several.

This is a fabulous workout. I love how Colleen manages to incorporate infants and young children into an exercise session for parents. It's a wonderful activity to exercise together and set a healthy example for our children. I highly recommend this video to both new and experienced mothers.

"Colleen Walsh has come up with a wonderful way for busy mothers to exercise and socialize at the same time. I really enjoyed the workout! It was fun to do, I did it with my daughter. We had a lot of fun, and I was able to sneak a workout in! Can’t get much better than that when there is no time to go to the gym!

Visit strongmamas.com for nutritional ideas for you and your family as well as new workouts to try at home!

Giving you a taste worth talking about with new varieties, Progresso continues to provide convenient options made to taste great and encourage good food choices, too. It´s important to make food choices for yourself and for your family that are both satisfying to your taste buds and nutritious.

Here are two sweet girls talking all about the NEW flavors that Progresso has England Clam Chowder and the Tortilla y Pollo (Chicken Tortilla).

Have you ever wondered how to add some flavor to your daily diet while still keeping your meals wholesome and delicious?

Progresso Reduced Sodium - With 49 percent of shoppers concerned about high cholesterol1, Progresso understands the importance of soluble fiber and reduced sodium diets. New Reduced Sodium Tomato Parmesan soup is one more tasty option that has a delicious blend of flavors and carries the "May Help Lower Cholesterol"2 benefit.

Progresso High Fiber - With 9 out of 10 Americans not getting the recommended Daily Value of fiber, Progresso High Fiber line of soups are packed with 7 grams per serving. Giving you one more thing to talk about, Progresso brand´s first Chili Soup just joined the High Fiber family!

One of my favorite canned soup brands is Progresso! Not only do they have delicious soups, they come in different varieties! I normally have a bunch of Progresso soups stocked in my pantry since they are great for lunch and dinner and make for great quick meals.

Progresso soups are great tasting and healthy! Since I am trying to eat better and go back in the Weight Watchers direction, I have been eating mostly the Progresso Light soups. I got to try two new Progresso soups thanks to Progresso and they are great!!! My favorite flavor is Progresso Light New England Clam Chowder!

Progresso has come a long way when it comes to your average soup in a can. They offer Progresso® New World Recipes™, Progresso Light, Progresso Reduced Sodium, and Progresso High Fiber (just to name a few).
