Hip Hop Baby DVD Review

Hip Hop Baby is a creative new way to teach and entertain toddlers & preschoolers through hip-hop style music. It teaches the kids things like their number, ABCs, rhythm songs, coordination & exercise through dance. It uses very upbeat music that makes the kids want to get up and participate right with the kids on the DVD.

My little guy is only 18 months old and he was very fascinated by it. He watched for a little while then stood right up and started dancing. He loves music and is very amused by other kids. It was a little long for his short attention span but enjoyable non the less. It is recommended for ages 2-6 so he is a bit young yet. I can imagine in a year, he will be totally into it!

The music is so catchy, I found myself swaying to it as well. I love that this DVD tries to teach the kids lots of different things in a classy, upbeat way. It is also great that it encourages exercise. I think a lot of kids these days are playing way too many video games and not playing outside and getting exercise. This is one way that we parents can encourage our little ones to be active! Be sure to visit their website and check it out for yourself!

"Going Green as a Family" Giveaway #3!

One great way to help the environment is to save on paper products. Rather than paper towels, use rags. Rather than baby or cleaning wipes, use Bummas!


Bummas are just the right size for a soft, eco-friendly baby wipe. Rather than powders or ointments, use a Bumma for your baby's bum. You can use them in place of all of the following:

  • Baby wipes for diaper changings.
  • Paper towels to clean up baby ooopses.
  • Kleenex for baby boogies.
  • Wash cloth for washing tiny babies.

One side of the bumma is soft and smooth and the other side is a little more ruff. The ruff side can be used to wipe off dirtier areas. The soft side is best for little noses and sensitive areas.

A great routine would be to keep your stack of Bummas near the changing table. Use one a little damp to clean up the baby's bottom, use a second one to cover privates to avoid any surprises, a third one to dry the bottom. Rinse off the soiled bummas and throw them in the wash and they are as good as new again!

Bummas are 100% cotton made of woven velour terry cloth. They are a rectangular 5"x7" and are very durable. They are guaranteed to not pill, shrink or fade. You may just need to trim threads after the first wash.

I really like them instead of wipes. Baby wipes are so thin and you usually have to use 3 to thoroughly clean a dirty bum. When you are done cleaning the bum, it is wet from the wipe and if you re-diaper wet, the little one can easily get diaper rash. This will definitely save on money spent on wipes! They are about $6 per pack which gets used up about every month or sooner. The Bummas only cost $16.99. So for the price of less than 3 packs of wipes, you get a set of 10 Bummas in one of 4 color themes. Can you imagine how much money this will save you in a year?

Have you noticed that the price of Kleenex has gone up? They are well over $1 or more per pack. During cold season, one box only lasts a day or less. Bummas are thick and soft, perfect for little noses on the run! My little guy keeps getting a reoccuring runny nose because of the up and down weather. So, not only can you save on the price of baby wipes, you can also save on Kleenex for your little one.

How would you like to win your own Pack of 10 Bummas?

Mission Possible Mondays!

Last Monday, I got so busy that I completely forgot to post MISSION Possible Mondays.

DID YOU ACCEPT THE MISSION?

The last posted MISSION was to make some change in your home to help the environment. Make a "GREEN" change!

MY MISSION COMPLETE!

We have been slowly changing out our lightbulbs to energy saver bulbs. Everytime an old lightbulb burns out, we put in an energy saver bulb. It is a slow change but a positive one. We have also started using rags more and less paper towels. The goal is to phase out paper towels completely and just use rags. I have also turned to hemp all natural hair dye instead of the chemical dyes. There is a store called LUSH that sells all natural products. I am really excited about the hair dye. Since it is chemical free, it is safe if you are nursing or pregnant. There are no containers or toxic chemicals which helps the environment. The sack that the hair dye blocks come in is made from recycled material and is biodegradeable. Lastly, in the near future, I plan on composting. Once I figure out which style container I wans to use, I will begin that process as well.

HERE IS YOUR MISSION SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT!

Plant something. Whether this be a flower or a garden.

WHEN, WHERE, WHY?

If you live somewhere where it is still pretty cold at night, you may just need to start your plants, vegetables, or fruits indoors. You can start them as seedlings and let them grow slowly indoors. Place them in a window that gets morning sun. Find a place in your yard that you can begin to prepare for you to transfer your plants. You don't have to completely cultivate, you just need to dig out the sections in which you will drop the plantling and fill with fertilizer or compost.

What does this benefit? Well...number 1 it will benefit your and your family's health. Eating fruits and vegetables that were naturally grown is so much more beneficial health wise. You are not ingesting toxic chemicals, your fruits and veggies will be packed with nutrients that they don't loose in the transport from the grower to the grocer, and you will save money having the supply at your fingertips. I grew cherry tomatoes last year just to see if I could do it. They were MAGNIFICENT! I loved being able to just grab and eat, pull them right off the vine to put in my salad or pasta, and to give to friends and family because there were so many.
