K’NEX Roary the Racing Car Sets Review

Alexander loves blocks and race cars.
Last weekend he was over by my parents and sat on my dad’s lap for 3 hours straight watching a Nascar race.
His eyes were glued to the TV.
When I picked him up later that night, he had successfully learned the phrases….”Boogity! Boogity! Boogity!” and “Let’s go racing boys!”
Now, every time he sees a race car he repeats these lines over and over and over again.
Especially now that he has the K’NEX Roary the Racing Car Maxi Building Set.
This set is for children ages 3 and up and contains 18 pieces and is easy for a toddler/preschooler to manipulate and assemble.

My little Alexander is a huge fan of this set and has already asked that we get the others. (This is what I get for leaving the Roary the Racing Car page open on my computer).

Another great thing about these building sets is that all of the Roary the Racing Car sets include an adapter that lets kids use their car on many popular toy train tracks, an image above details how this works.

You can find the K’NEX Roary the Racing Car sets at Toys R’ Us.

WordLock Bike Locks

I have 2 school age children who enjoy riding their bikes to school whenever the weather allows for it.
When doing so, they have to lock their bikes up on school grounds upon arrival.
And we have been through A LOT of bike locks.
We tried simple number combination locks.
And the combination was forgotten.
We tried simple lock and key locks.
And the key was lost.
I have had to drive up to school and cut the bike locks after having lost the combination or key.
It has NOT been fun.
This year, I was introduced to WordLock bike locks.

WordLock bike locks allow you to set the combination to an easy for your child to remember 4 letter word.
They are easy to setup, easy to change the word and easy to remember!
Wordlock bike locks have four letter dials and cable made from curled, heavy-duty braided steel that extends to reach around the bike rack at the store, school, park or downtown.
My kids are loving these locks and have been very good at remembering their combinations.

5+1=A Bun in the Oven

You got it!

We are expecting!
The latest addition to The Megalomaniac Family is expected to be here in early January!
We are ALL very, very excited and can’t wait to share this journey with all of you!
After Alexander turned 1, we had decided that we weren’t going to have any more little ones and sold off ALL of our baby stuff only to have us both change our minds 2 years later.
So, here we are…..starting from scratch all over again.
Basically what I am saying is prepare to see me do some baby shopping!!!

Wholesale Costume Club

My little Alexander is a HUGE HUGE ( I cannot stress that enough) Toy Story fan. He’s an even bigger Buzz Lightyear fan.
And when I say this kid likes Buzz Lightyear, I am not joking.
We watch Toy Story 3 at least once a day, if not more….especially if it’s the middle of the night and he can’t sleep and comes and wakes mommy from a dead sleep.
Yes, even then we watch the movie.
He has multiple Buzz toys, shoes, clothes, etc.
But I think I made his day when I placed an order with Wholesale Costume Club for this:

Yes. The Buzz Lightyear Deluxe Toddler Costume.

My little guy was MORE than excited and I was impressed with how well the costume is made. It has survived almost 2 months of use by my rambunctious toddler and it still looks like new!

See….he’s just a little happy!

Since getting this toddler costume from WholesaleCostumeClub.com we have be checking out the other Toy Story Costumes.

I’m thinking we might have found a good theme for this Halloween since Wholesale Costume Club has Toy Story Costumes for the whole family!!!

Repechage One Minute Clarifying Mask

Is your skin in need of a pick me up this Spring??
I recently had the chance to try Repechage’s One Minute Clarifying Mask with hydra refine and am very pleased with the results.

This mask is the first I have tried in a very long time that did not leave my skin dry or irritated. Most masks I try leave my face a little itchy afterwards, but not this time around.

Another great thing about Repechage is that it made my face less oily so I don’t look like I am sweating my butt off anymore!

I have also noticed that since I began using Repechage I have not been as prone to acne as I was prior to using.

I have been using the Repechage for 2 weeks now and I have really noticed the difference and have been pleased with the results. Repechage is professional skin care at a cost I can afford!

Repechage’s One Minute Clarifying Mask contains the following ingredients to help revitalize your skin:

Laminaria Saccharina Seaweed—This unique seaweed helps reduce sebum production and fights the oil oxidation that contributes to the formation of blackheads. At the same time, it hydrates the skin never leaving you dry or irritated.
Lemongrass—With antiseptic and astringent properties, lemongrass is ideal for treating oily skin, and is a known anti-bacterial and anti-fungal agent.

Farnesol (Lily of the Valley)—This natural ingredient supplies the skin with protection against acne causing bacteria.
Cucumber—Cucumber is widely known as a soothing, cooling and healing agent, but the essential oil of cucumber has even greater benefits. With vital fatty acids and anti-oxidants, such as Vitamin E and Zinc, cucumber oil protects the skin and aids in healing. Proteolytic enzymes refine the skin and help keep pores clean and clear.
