Day Out with Thomas: Leader of the Track 2011



All aboard! Thomas the Tank Engine™ is chugging into a station near you for Day Out With Thomas™: Leader of the Track Tour 2011. Thomas fans are invited to come spend the day with their favorite No. 1 engine. For over 65 years, children have been captivated by the courageous adventures of Thomas and his engine friends. During its 16th consecutive year, Day Out With Thomas will make stops in more than 45 cities in the United States and Canada and is expected to welcome more than one million passengers in 2011.

Day Out with Thomas is a fun-filled and exciting way for children and adults to enter the world of Thomas.

Shane is a Huge Thomas Fan. He is obsessed with Thomas so I was beyond grateful for the opportunity to take him to the Day Out with Thomas: Leader of the Track 2011 here in Michigan.



Shane had so much fun and there were so many activities. They had a model train table where the kids could watch the train. There was singing and dancing and story telling. The kids got to play with train tables and get temporary Thomas tattoos. You could meet with and take pictures with Sir Topham Hatt.



The best part of course was riding on a real train modeled like Thomas. Shane thought he was riding the real Thomas.


This is a must do Activity with the family.

To see if A Day Out with Thomas: Leader of the Track Tour 2011 is coming to your town, visit Hit Entertainment. Tickets range in price from $14-$18. Well worth it for the fun and memories.

Wilson makes some really great capri pants for all sorts of activities including running, tennis and other activities.



The Wilson La Davine Capri Pant is a compression fit Capri that is lightweight, breathable, and flattering. The premium technical fabric and design allow for maximum moisture wicking and comfort. The Capri has versatile functionality whether training in the gym, playing on the court, or just out and about running errands.

I am so excited about these pants. I love love love them. They fit great and are so versatile.

The Inspired Bagger Review and Giveaway + coupon code

I love having really cute handbags that look expensive but don't cost a lot of money. since I like to change my bags every few months I find it really hard to spend hundreds of dollars on a bag that will only be used for a few months.

I just discovered a really great website TheInspiredBagger.com that has some really adorable designer inspired handbags. Almost all of them are at $40 or less wholesale priced and to make TheInspiredBagger.com even nicer they offer you an option to buy a years membership. The years membership drops the prices of their handbags even lower. for the whole year you can buy as many bags as you want with an even more discount than the wholesale price.

Check out this zebra print handbag



or this designer inspired bowler



I was sent this designer inspired patchwork satchel.



I love this satchel.Pictures don't do it justice. It is a quality handbag that will last me a long time and is super cute. It has a ton of room for all my things and is very comfortable to wear. I will definitively be purchasing more handbags from TheInspiredBagger.com.

TheInspiredBagger has offered all of my readers %50 off membership pricing using the coupon code: "HalfOffMember".

WIN IT

TheInspiredBagger has also offered one of my readers a Bag of choice from their Designer Inspired collection.

Fisher Price Review and Giveaway

We are huge fans of Fisher Price toys here. I grew up with a lot of Fisher Price toys and am very excited that Shane is also. With spring here and the weather getting much nicer Fisher Price has added some new outdoor toys to their line for this spring.

One of the toys they added was the Grow With Me 1,2,3, Inline Skates.



Learn to skate with inline style! Start with Stage 1—beginners can walk in the skates with one wheel locked. As confidence and ability increase, advance to Stage 2 where the adjustment wheel rolls forward, but not back. Then it’s on to Stage 3 for “freewheeling” fun! Size-adjustable to fit child shoe sizes 6-12.



We haven't had the chance to play with these much as it has been raining here all week but Shane loves them and I can see that they are going to be an outdoor favorite for the next couple of years.

I really love that these are designed to grow with the child allowing them to adjust for shoe size and wheel adjustments for safety. Not only that but they are very reasonably priced at $25.



WIN IT
