I'm a full-time mummy

This is my 2nd VeggieTales DVD review after "God Loves You Very Much" and to be honest, I am starting to like VeggieTales after seeing how my toddler fell in love with it. I even bought one of the older released DVD ("Heroes of The Bible Lions, Shepherds and Queens") Anyway, here is my review:

DVD synopsis:

"Larry the Cucumber hosts “The Silly Song Telethon” and counts down the top favorite silly songs of all-time... voted for by the fans!! The fun continues with a surprise introduction of a never-before-seen, new Silly Song chosen by Larry the Cucumber from thousands of fan submissions! Includes 20 great Silly Songs:
    * I Love My Lips
    * The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything
    * Belly Button
    * His Cheeseburger
    * Endangered Love
    * The Water Buffalo Song
    * The Song of the Cebu
    * Dance of the Cucumber
    * Yodeling Veterinarian of the Alps
    * Monkey
    * The Hairbrush Song
    * Biscuit of Zazzamarandabo
    * The SUV Song
    * Lance the Turtle
    * Gated Community
    * Where Have All The Staplers Gone?
    * Sippy Cup
    * Pants
    * Pizza Angel
    * Goodnight Junior"

Look at the picture above of Ben watching the DVD intensely! This DVD is packed with over 20 Silly Songs and some of my our favorites are:

* I Love My Lips (My boy particularly enjoys and always cracked up laughing the part where Larry sings real fast)
* Belly Button (Our favorite, a song with a unique tune and my boy is slowly memorising this song!)
* Lance the Turtle (Arghh... this is one song with a catchy tune! It's been playing on my head over and over and over again!)
* Gated Community (I laughed when I saw the song title, but nonetheless a very nice song too!)
* Pizza Angel (Oh boy, this is another catchy-stuck-in-my-head song!)

A fun and entertaining DVD that is a must to have!

Every day I am thankful to God for blessing me with continuous opportunities for reviews and giveaways of awesome, awesome products! This time, I would like to share with you guys on this awesome product I get to review. So here goes my review for the "CityGrips":

About the company:

"CityGrips was born purely out of necessity. It all began one hot summer day when it became unbearable to push the stroller barehanded. Grossed out by the sticky germ infested grip came the idea for a grip cover that was soft, durable, washable and stylish."

Why use it?
* Protect your hands, keeping them clean & comfy.
* Defend against dirt, sweat and grime buildup.
* Prevent passing germs to your child.
* Towel grip covers absorb sweat.
* Keep it simple with easy zip-on, zip-off & machine-wash.
* Protect your handlebar grips from wear & tear.
* Customize your stroller with stylish patterns.
* Find your stroller in a crowd.

When I first contemplated on whether I should write in to request for a review opportunity, the thought of how does this thing work did crossed my mind... I mean, how the heck am I going to put on the cover onto our double handlebar stroller? And when the product arrives and I checked it out front, back, left and right, then I got it!

And yes, I even checked out the insides and took pictures of it as well to show you guys how it works! Just slot in the grip covers and close the Velcro tab together! Easy peasy!

The material is oh-so-comfy to the touch, I seriously love caressing holding the stroller's handle now! 

The Velcro tape stays strong and the grip cover is sewn beautifully, even my MIL commented the nice sewing work of the covers!

I also love the design I chose (which is ZigZag Color - Double Bar) as the colors are very eye catching and it's so easy to spot our stroller even from far! Ahhhh.... love it!

Seriously people... I've been looking for excuses to go out more often just so I can use the stroller and be seen with the oh-so-chic-and-awesome handlegrip!

Love love love love love it! You really should get it if you have a stroller too!
