Disney’s Club Penguin Members Suit Up as Marvel Super Heroes & Super Villains!

May 1, 2013 By 8 Comments

I received the following information as a blogger for Walt Disney Publications and was not financially compensated. All opinions are my own.

Right now, penguins are assembling as Marvel Super Heroes and Super Villains in Disney’s Club Penguin, the #1 virtual world for kids! Be on the look out Penguin players, as you just might be called to defend the city of Penguintropolis and bring those members dressed as Marvel Super Villains to justice. Do this before the villains they take over with their destructive robots! Watch out! There are eight different kinds of robots out there… Once you’ve chosen your side, you can suit up in 27 Marvel costumes like Iron Man, Captain America, Sif, or the new She-Hulk to name a few. Find yourself a little more mischievous? Maybe you should suit up more to the likes of the Mandarin and Loki.

My son is a little too young for Club Penguin, but all my friend’s with older kids, they rave about it! It’s been to hear which kids have gone hero and which kids have gone villain. Either way, they are absolutely having a blast.

“Last year’s partnership event with Marvel was extremely popular, and at that time, became the most-trafficked event in our history. This year we’ve made the Marvel Super Hero Takeover Event even more epic for players with twice the amount of Marvel Super Hero and Super Villain costume options and deeper, more action-packed gameplay and storylines.” – Chris Heatherly, Vice President and General Manager, Disney Interactive Worlds

If you aren’t family with Disney Club Penguin, there is a FREE version available. Club Penguin is a fun and safe online entertainment experience for your children. Disney uses filtering technology and live moderators to ensure a safe environment. The programs aim to help your children with not only their creativity and team player skills, but also with hand-eye coordination and other motor skills!

If your child is a fan of Marvel, this is the perfect time for you to look into Disney’s Club Penguin for them!

Protect Your Family from Hidden Danger with Kidde Worry-Free Carbon Monoxide Alarm

April 29, 2013 By 7 Comments

This is a sponsored post. While I received financial compensation via a gift card, all opinions are 100% my own.

Living in a historic city, my home is just a “baby” compared to the others in my area. Since it was built in 2002, I never thought I would have to worry about any hidden dangers. My home is sound in structure, and I was more worried about my son falling off all the furniture he climbs on, or sticking something in his mouth that shouldn’t be there and choking. Boy was I wrong thinking those were the only dangers. It doesn’t matter how old your home is, one deadly hidden danger is carbon monoxide (CO). colorless, odorless and tasteless, CO is deadly within minutes.

The only safe way to detect CO in your home with with a working CO alarm. While according to the U.S. Census, 75% of all homes have a potential source of carbon monoxide, it’s unfortunate to know that only 50% of homes have a functional carbon monoxide alarm. It is actually recommended that you place an alarm on every level of your home and in sleeping areas. I know I would feel much safer if I had all the areas covered to protect my family and I from this silent killer.

Protect your family from hidden dangers with the Kidde Worry-Free CO Alarm

This year Kidde released the Worry-Free Carbon Monoxide Alarm! This alarm is the first and only UL-listed CO alarm proven to provide up to 10 years of protection. That is twice the lifespan in other available alarms! In other words, no more constantly have to change batteries, or that annoying low-battery beeping! These alarms are different because they use a sealed-in lithium battery that powers the alarm for a decade. How awesome is that?

This guest was written by Jennifer Davis, for Maryland Momma’s Rambles and Reviews. She and her family received a complimentary experience at Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament at Arundel Mills, located in Hanover, MD. This is 100% her own honest opinion.

Experience Magical Family Fun at Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament!

I recently had the opportunity to experience our local Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament. Unfortunately due to scheduling conflicts, I found the experience more fitting for my friend (and blog contributor!) Jennifer and her family. Please continue reading to learn more about her family fun night out at Medieval Times:

Stepping into Medieval Times is a magical place! As you first enter the “castle”, you are greeted by a Knight who kindly gives you a crown to wear. Yes, Mom and Dad receive crowns to join in the fun too.  It is then that you are whisked away into a magical land!

Our seating was Royalty! This means we were in the first row and additionally were served scrumptious “blood dragon soup” (which was a tomato bisque soup) and castle bread. My daughter just loved the mythical names!

Our Easter Celebration 2013

April 3, 2013 By 10 Comments

Last weekend you may have noticed I took a little break from blogging to enjoy Easter weekend with my family. My siblings and their significant others flew into town, and we all congregated at my parents for family fun.

Since my son was just a few days shy of turning 2 years old, we tried to make Easter a fun and celebratory event for him! First up? An Easter Egg Hunt!! This was his first real egg hunt and he loved it! He found eggs that not even I spotted while trying to assist him.

He had so much fun running around! Don’t worry, he didn’t get anywhere near the water. My mom was nice enough to hide the eggs around the yard, and slip little prizes into each egg. I know this will sound cheesy, but it truly was a joy to watch him enjoy his first real Easter.
