Lil' Troops Bravo Squad Holiday Gift Guide #1

Hey neighbors!

We are starting our gift guide off with the Lil' Troops Bravo Squad! I just have to tell you, these little guys have a place in my heart. My son just left for Army Basic Training about one month ago, so they have become our mascots! He is actually part of a different squad, but we will have to live with that. Not only is that special to me, but a portion of each sale goes to the US Army Morale, Welfare and Recreation programs. These lil' guys are licensed by the US Army.

Now, on to the actual review. I received a Collectible Set, which includes three figures and their accessories. Mine, yes mine, came with two canteens a walkie and a pair of binoculars. The one in the Army shirt reminds me of my son. I also have one in the tan Desert Storm type uniform. Last of all is, I believe the Recon Scout.

Standing at 2 1/2 inches tall any young boy would be excited to own these. The arms move and the head and waist both rotate. You can play with these figures, or display them. They are very well made and sturdy. More troops are in the works, so you will be able to add to the collection. Not recommended for very young children as there are small accessories.

Not only do these make great toys to play with, but they are also nice mascots for children whose parent is away on duty. A helpful reminder of their parent and what that parent is doing. As I said, mine are now my computer mascots while waiting for my son to complete basic.

Along with Lil' Troops, Party Animal Toys also has sports figures from many different teams. You can see them on their website. Be sure to register your set of Lil' Troops. There are some games and activities there too.

You can find Lil' Troops at Toys R' Us, Dicks Sporting Goods, Kohl's and many others. If you can not find them locally, you can purchase them at:www.lilteammatesshop.com

One of our neighbors will receive a set of Lil' Troops when they win this giveaway! Enter now and then be sure to share! Thank you for stopping by today. See you soon.

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child. Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First TV. Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age. And it works! Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life. Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words. Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing. There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along. The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish. Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer. Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.
