You can even transfer a recording of your baby’s heartbeat from your phone or computer. Don’t forget to download our app and backup baby’s heartbeat for safe keeping.
Thoughts
The idea of a heartbeat bear animal is adorable. I know many people who have had miscarriages or losses who would love to have had something like this to remind them of that oh so precious sound. I like how you can not only have the sound in the small heart of the animal but also have a backup on your phone/computer. Knowing me, I wouldn’t keep a stuffed animal forever (unless maybe I lost a child), I find them to be more of a child’s thing. The Vintage Sloth itself is soft and cuddly and “fun to play with” so my 4-year-old says.

Just in time to motivate kids for good end-of-year grades – new Skylanders SuperChargers toys are available! Thrillipede and his signature SuperCharger vehicle, Buzz Wing, are on store shelves this week. Portal Masters will be racing to the stores to add these hot new toys to their Skylanders collections.
Thrillipede is a war hero with incredible piloting skills… and even more incredible juggling skills.
Thrillipede served in the Millipede Military in the outer regions of Skylands. As the top pilot in his unit, Thrillipede was responsible for single-handedly blasting over 300 Greeble warships out of the sky! When the Great Greeble War came to an end, he returned to his hometown of Flutter Bay as a celebrated hero. He was the talk of the town and everyone wanted to shake the many hands of the famous young pilot. News of his heroics eventually made their way to Captain Flynn at the Skylander Academy, who set out to determine if the stories were true. In a series of friendly challenges, the two pilots raced, soared through obstacles, and performed incredible stunts in front of a cheering Flutter Bay crowd. In each event, Thrillipede stood victorious, and was asked to join the Skylanders shortly after. Of course, Flynn later admitted that he “let him win” so that Thrillipede wouldn’t be embarrassed in front of his hometown.
Buzz Wing is Thrillipede’s famous fighter plane. After heroically blasting over 300 enemy jets in the Great Greeble War, it was put on display in the Millipede Museum. But with Kaos on the loose again, it’s back in action and ready for more!

LeapFrog the makers of Leap Reader, LeapPad & LeapTv have come up with a fantastic new product my boys are loving, the LeapFrog Epic! The LeapFrog Epic, a new Android-based tablet for children was unveiled by the educational electronics and toys company September 15th. The LeapFrog Epic is like any other tablet, complete with access to the Web and Android apps, but with features specifically designed for children that adapt as their age and learning level changes.
The tablet comes with customizable parental controls that allows you to add new websites for your children to access through the LeapSearch browser, which provides kid-friendly Web surfing through more than 5,000 videos, images, websites and games initially accessible through the tablet right out of the box.
You can allow unrestricted Web browsing for their children and set how long they’re allowed to use the tablet by total time, hours of the day and app category for up to three different user profiles. Since my boys are little I have restricted their web browsing to the LeapSearch browser only. I love that there are pre-selected videos, sites and images that are kid friendly, including sites like PBS & Disney.
The LeapFrog Epic, is designed for children ages three to nine, & comes with an interactive and customizable home screen that users can also play with. It allows the boys to access LeapFrog games, apps and e-books as well as Android games and apps designed for children that don’t feature in-app purchases or third-party ads. Which is great, because I can’t tell you how irritated they get with ad popups and in-app purchases on other tablets.
The tablet runs on the Android 4.4 operating system and features a quad-core processor, seven-inch multi-touch capacitive LCD screen, front and back camera, video recorder, 16 GB of memory and a battery that lasts for six hours.
Tell LeapFrog why your child is epic and be entered to win a $500 prize pack.
Winners receive:
A $500 epic prize pack will be given away each week and includes:
LeapFrog Epic tablet
LeapFrog app card
Visa gift card for an epic adventure
LeapFrog water bottle
LeapFrog tote bag

Sending time with my boys watching Halloween movies is one of my favorite things to do! We love to bring our foods and drinks that fit the mood. I found this great drink, Flying Cauldron Butterscotch Beer..the name just screams Halloween!
Some wizards claim that this brew places a ward of protection on those who drink it and that consuming this product has been known to accelerate wizarding abilities in borderline wizard cases.
This delicious beverage is the first wizarding drink to have widespread cross over consumption in the non wizarding world.
A magical refreshment for wizards and unrealized wizards alike.
I recently found some at my local World Market, and didn’t buy enough to begin with…but when I went back they were all sold out! These drinks were flying off the shelves (pun intended)! I had to order more for our weekend of Harry Potter! They were a perfect addition to our Harry Potter marathon…The kids loved drinking them out of the bottle, but I had to put mine into a mug and add some “froth” to it..lol..adding food and drink to your movies really ups the experience and makes memories that will last a lifetime!
If you find some in your local store buy at least 12! I’m telling you they are popular and go quickly! You can also purchase them online which might be the way to go at this point…
