Caillou Doll and Caillou Toy Learning Train Review

May 2, 2011 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Who loves Caillou? Caillou streams in many households each and everyday. We are helping celebrate childhood with Caillou. Caillou airs on PBS Kids and Sprout and is brought to you by Cookie Jar Entertainment. My girls have grown up watching Caillou and are still fans of the show. To celebrate the fact that growing up is the greatest adventure, we were given the opportunity to review the Caillou Doll and the Caillou Toy Learning Train. You all could here the review from me the parent, but really I wanted to go right to the source – M and L.

Caillou is available in stores at Target, Toys R Us and online at Amazon.com.

Thank you to Team Mom for giving us the opportunity to review the doll and learning train. We were not compensated for this post and all opinions and comments are of our own here at OneMomsWorld.com.

What is my most favorite part of being a mom

May 2, 2011 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

One of my most favorite holidays are coming up! Mother’s Day. It is not even about the gifts that makes me excited, it is celebrating that I am a mother to my two beautiful daughters M and L. They truly make my life complete and I seemed to always be moved to tears when I talk about them.

Recently, I took part in the Got Milk Like Mother Like Daughter Campaign in New Orleans. Got Milk asked several bloggers different questions about being a mom.

My question: “What is my most favorite part of being a mom?” – You will have to listen in on this short video to see the answer!

What questions do your kids ask you

April 28, 2011 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Kids always say the darndest things right? I can be having such a stressful day, and my girls can ask the most off the wall question to make me smile and laugh. Tonight, L was quizzing her daddy with some of the weirdest questions.

1. Daddy, what does umm mean? Everyone says umm, so what does it mean daddy?

Well, she does have a good point. So many of us will add in umm as we are talking. It just goes to show you that kids pay more attention than we give them credit.

2. Daddy, what would happen if we did not have a brain?

This one came out of left field I think. I mean honestly, I am not sure what would happen, but I can guarantee it would probably be mass chaos.

3. Daddy, why do we have to have feet to walk?

Hubby, just looked at L and said well how else would you want to walk? Should we walk on our hands? She just laughed.

Then later on in the night, M got in on the interesting questions.

4. She asked, which would you rather not have, your feet or your hands?

This is actually a good question and really gets the mind thinking. I am going to go with no feet though.

I do know the girls minds are turning 24/7 and we never know what they will come up with next. I love that they ask these questions as it gets conversations started and leads to really interesting and long lasting conversations.

What interesting questions has your child asked lately?

Spring Brings All New Worries To Parents

April 11, 2011 by Jennifer 1 Comment

The weather has been absolutely beautiful here. This means some very much needed outdoor time for the whole family. The girls love the outdoors and it helps keep us all sane around here when we can run around outside with no worries right? Well, I thought that is how Spring works.

L and I were enjoying some mommy and L time at the park Friday while M and daddy were at her softball practice. All is well in the world until my heart skips a beat.

See this beautiful smile on L:

She is really enjoying swinging until all of a sudden right after I took this picture, L decides to take a leap off the swing right as the swing was in mid-air. She fell hard on her head and I dropped everything. My purse, my phone, my camera and immediately grabbed her up. Probably not the best move, but I was terrified that she was hurt bad. I looked at her and she was completely dazed for a few seconds and then as she started seeing more clearly, she said mommy please get this dirt off of me. I said L, you really did just hit hard, are you ok? Yes, mommy just get this dirt off of me now. No tears at all, just worried about the dirt touching her beautiful dress.

Life can come at you fast and I am hoping that we do not have any more of these incidents. I was thanking God for his blessings and keeping her safe. She definitely had an angel watching over her – Grandma perhaps? I like to think so 🙂 L’s reasoning behind the jump was that she felt like she was slipping!

Who Said Brand Slogans Do Not Work

December 30, 2010 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

I can actually beg to differ because of a certain 6 year old.

We are cutting corners and tightening down the fort here on our finances as we really want to buy a house this coming up year. I was on the phone today getting insurance rate quotes to see if we could save money on our monthly auto insurance bill. Little Miss L comes prancing through and asks me who I am talking to on the phone. I tell her quietly, that I am talking to Nationwide Insurance. She looks at me and then starts singing loudly “Nationwide is on your side.”

What? I looked at M and said did she just say “Nationwide is on your side?”… Sure enough I heard her correctly. I finished up receiving our quote and started thinking, she had to hear this slogan on the TV. If a six year old can remember this slogan, then you know the slogan really sticks with adults. Brand slogans really do work. In our minds, we are constantly putting slogans together with brand names.

Way to go Nationwide for putting together a slogan that will get everyone’s attention, even a little child 🙂
