Peppa Pig Some of my favorite things have come from "across the pond"...the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Jude Law, Christian Bale.  :awe:  You get the idea!  Now, Peppa Pig has also jumped across the pond to delight preschoolers everywhere with her award-winning television show.

Peppa Pig is a top-rated animated series in the U.K. geared for preschool-aged children.  What's unique is that each episode is only about 5-minutes long, instead of the typical 15-minute format of most children's shows my daughter watches.  Peppa Pig follows the daily adventures of Peppa, a lovable, energetic little piggy who lives with her brother George, Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig.

My entire family has long enjoyed the antics of Peppa Pig and her clan and now, thanks to the new Peppa Pig merchandise from Fisher-Price, my daughter can be delighted by Peppa any time!

I received the following Peppa Pig merchandise from Fisher-Price, Candlewick Press and Entertainment One Family:

Sip 'n Oink Tea Set, which retails for $15.99

Peppa's Treehouse, which retails for $14.99

Peppa & Family Play Figures, which retails for $10.99

Peppa & Friends Plush, which retails for $9.99

Muddy Puddles and Other Stories DVD, which retails for $14.98

Peppa Pig and the Lost Christmas List Book (Hardcover), which retails for $12.99

Sesame StreetOne of the things I LOVE about being Riley's mommy is having an endless supply of silly entertainment on hand at all times.  My daughter is only 3 years old, but she keeps me laughing and giggling on a daily basis with her innocent wit and silly antics.

Sesame Street believes in having fun through education and is a brand that both my daughter and I grew up with.  Elmo was actually my daughter's first true love and she's always enjoyed anything and everything from this furry little guy.  That's why I was thrilled to learn of a brand new Sesame Street toy that's sure to be huge this holiday season...LOL Elmo!

Keep reading to learn more about how you could bring home a huge Sesame Street toy prize pack, just for having a good laugh with your little one!

Hurry, the brand new LOL Elmo toy made its debut today!  It retails for $39.99 with FREE SHIPPING.

CVS MinuteClinicDuring my previous career as a Science teacher, I was always sick.  There's just something about being around 150 kids each and every day that made me a constant germ magnet.  Although I would still catch the common cold quite often, I found a great deal of relief from getting a flu vaccination each season.

In order for a flu vaccination to be effective, it needs to be administered prior to cold and flu season.  Now you could try and book an appointment with your general practitioner during an already hectic time, or you could just head down to your local CVS MinuteClinic for a quick and easy dose.

Receive a 20% off shopping pass at CVS when you get a flu shot at the MinuteClinic.

SKILBelieve it or not, I'm actually quite a handy gal.  I get great enjoyment from building and creating things with my own two hands and have learned long ago that using amazing tools always makes a project more enjoyable.

For me, a screwdriver is one such tool that I absolutely cannot be without.  Whether I'm assembling a book shelf or building a raised garden bed, it seems that I've always got a screwdriver by my side.  Unfortunately, I don't have the hand strength required to screw anything in manually and have always relied on a quality cordless screwdriver to make my project fly by.

SKIL has been providing quality tools since 1924 and has created the best cordless screwdriver to help support the cure.  Keep reading to learn more!

I reviewed the Limited Edition Pink iXO 2354-04 Cordless Screwdriver from SKIL which retails for $39.99.
SKIL is donating 10% of every sale of the Pink iXO Cordless Screwdriver to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
