I’ve received the opportunity to let my readers know about how Levi’s is introducing a new brand of great looking, great fitting jeans for the whole family – dENIZEN. Available exclusively available at Target, dENIZEN jeans are well-crafted with a fit for everybody – kids, mom, dad, grandmom and granddad.

Back To School Clothes

Back to School takes on a whole new meaning for me this school year.  In a few weeks, my 5-year old granddaughter will be entering Kindergarten.  Even though I have one daughter still in Grad School, it seems as just yesterday I was shopping for new school clothes in August for my own girls. From kids to adults, jeans are a must-have in everyone’s wardrobe. Times have changed!  When I was in elementary school, girls wore dresses all school year long.  Hard to believe, but even in middle school (then known as junior high) and high school we had to adhere to a strict dress code. Girls weren’t allowed to wear pants or slacks until late in my Senior Year of High School, and even then, it was dress pants, not jeans (or blue jeans, or dungarees as our parents and teachers called them.)  The year was 1970.

There weren’t many jeans brands to choose from, and designer jeans were unheard of.  The best jeans of choice of the Flower Child generation were of course, Levi’s.

dENiZEN Jeans from Levi Strauss & Company

The dENiZEN™ name means “inhabitant” – belonging to a community of family and friends. Denim is in the name, the heart of the brand.

New from the people who invented the classic American jeans, the dENiZEN brand makes its way to Target.com and Target stores nationwide this summer.  With a wide range of practical, fashionable, great-fitting jeans for the entire family, there is no doubt that dENiZEN features the premium craftsmanship and on-trend styles for everybody!  Levi-Strauss & Company has been a respected American crafted brand since 1853; they stand behind their clothes ensuring authenticity in each product.  The jeans are made for the American family, by an American company.

dENiZEN™ jeans feature premium craftsmanship and on-trend styles for the entire family.

• Girls’: Sizes range from 4-20 with fits including Super Skinny, Skinny and Slim Boot.

• Boys’: Sizes range from 4-20 with fits including Loose, Straight, Slim Straight and Skinny.

In her new 5-pocket dENiZEN jeans, ‘Lil Moomette is going to be able to be both stylish, trendy and fashionable, yet still be a kid and enjoy recess and doing all those activities kids like to do!

Mens sizes are also available.

Boutique Infant Clothing

While many families are enjoying summer vacation, moms are never off-duty.  With kids going back to school within a month, it can be hard for them to keep the family dressed in the latest back to school style.

We all would like our children to look clean and presentable and the kids just want to wear what is cool. As a mom of two grown daughters, I know from experience that we don’t always have the time to go out there and find brands that meet both our standards and our children’s standards.

Now here’s a fashion tip!  I’ve found a fashion group that represents many great brands that’ll make the entire family happy!

For nearly a 25 years,the  Parigi Group collection of brands has played a major role and are some of the main contributors in helping to shape and define the children’s fashion apparel market. They represent brands such as PUMA, Apple Bottoms, Akademiks, and LRG.

Parigi Group’s brands are distributed among the better department stores, specialty and specialty athletic store channels, and feature high quality, trendy wearing apparel for young fashionistas.

As part of a focus group through Mom Select, I received a cute PUMA Kids girls Formstrip T-Shirt cotton jersey with capped sleeves and  and sport set, in Size 5 for ‘Lil Moomette!

Retro 80′s, even the name of the color is cute – Curacao – like the water in the Caribbean!

The outfit is  suitable for hanging out, play dates, sports, pre-school or whatever!

The  pants are banded elastic-waist, , gathered elastic bottoms, made from 95% cool, comfortable cotton and 5% spandex for give.

The short-sleeve crew t-shirt is 100% cotton, machine washable.  I’d recommend washing by hand though, as it has adorable glitter sparkles, along with the signature Puma logo!

The Puma ensemble is going to look so cute on ‘Lil Moomette when she goes back to pre-school in September!

Special Education

Soon summer vacation will be over and parents will be focusing on Back-To-School shopping.  I’d like to let you know about the extensive selection of educational special needs childrens toys offered at Gummy Lump.

Earlier this year I had the opportunity to review the magnificent Melissa and Doug Slice and Bake Cookie Set available at Gummy Lump.

My youngest daughter is an Early Intervention Associate and currently finishing up her Masters degree in Rehabilitation and Disabilities Studies with a concentration in Pediatrics and Developmental Disabilities.

My daughter currently works for a non-profit agency, and travels throughout the state doing home visitation consulting for her young clients in the Birth-To-Three program.

I frequently find my youngest daughter  in the living room raiding my grandkids’ toy box for toys  that she thinks would facilitate development for her clients.   As  she makes clientele  home visitations, introducing new material to the children will stimulate interest in the lesson plan of the day that she has prepared.

It isn’t uncommon that in her position as a Birth-to-Three counselor, my daughter unselfishly will spend her own money to purchase toys for special needs  for the kids.  Families and school system budgets are curtailed because of the economy, and funds simply aren’t available to purchase new materials.

The kind folks at Gummy Lump have graciously offered me the opportunity to have my daughter choose a toy to share with her special needs clients.

My daughter would like to share with you her review of the Melissa and Doug Progression Puzzles, and reasons for choosing this product to work with her clients:

I work with young children who have special needs and chose the Melissa and Doug Progression Puzzles because I believed they would be a good learning tool for the children I work with.  They help introduce forward chaining to children who are low functioning and Autistic.

I thought this group of puzzles would be a good tool to teach with because they provide visual aides for the children to follow along with, while also working on fine motor skills and object imitation.

When introducing the puzzles I begin by first having the child complete the puzzle, and then numbering the pieces.  The child then places the puzzle pieces in the base using the correct order, while also counting 1-2-3-4-5-6 so they can understand the steps to making a pizza, peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and eating a banana.  When I begin working on the puzzle I fully prompt the children so they know which piece goes where without making an error, and eventually fade the prompts so the child is completing the puzzle independently.

By completing this puzzle as an assignment, the children can understand how to complete certain activities in their correct order.  They eventually learn not only how to complete a puzzle, but how to chain an activity from first to last.  The first step to making a sandwich would be to grab a plate, bread, and the peanut butter and jelly.  The pictures on the puzzle pieces provide great visuals for the children to follow as well.

I would recommend this puzzle because it comes in a group of three so the children can have three different ideas of how to chain activities.  It can be done forwards or backwards, and is also great for the child to gain fine motor skills by placing the small puzzle pieces in the base puzzle.  The three puzzles are small and easy to carry around as well so they can be transported between houses with minimal effort, and are easy to store.

The Special Needs Childrens Toys selection is extensive, and includes many well-known brands, such as Melissa and Doug, Edushape, Guidecraft and Gund, to name a few.

What’s very helpful for parents and educators is the ability to shop for toys for children with Special Needs by category:

• Autism
• Blindness
• Deafness
• English Language Learners (ELL)
• Gifted Children
• Hearing Impairment
• Intellectual Disability
• Speech and Language Impairment
• Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
• Visual Impairment

Gummy Lump also has put together and shares on it’s site a comprehensive reference list of Special Needs Articles, Books, Websites and Resources.

The Elmer’s Virtual Bag It Forward is a charity blog meme.  Bloggers are able to raise $10 by writing a blog post and donating a virtual bag of school supplies .

Recently I had the opportunity to participate in the Bag It Forward campaign sponsored by Elmer’s back to school at Walmart.

My own children are now grown and on their own.   Our family was fortunate that we live in a town with an excellent school system, and that we were able to put our girls through college.

However, not all municipalities, school systems or families are able to supply the tools needed to enhance education and give our kids a running start at life.

Through this program I was able to shop at Walmart and purchase school and educational supplies to donate to children and educators for this coming school year.  Walmart offers terrific value and savings for your dollar and has almost  everything you can think of for school – paper; pencils; crayons; construction paper; notebooks; calculators and of course, Elmer’s !

Elmer’s is taking the campaign one step further, and now you, my readers and fellow bloggers, will be able to participate and help out by joining me in a charitable meme!!

Elmer’s Virtual Bag It Forward

All you need to do to help out is:

1. Write up your blog post
2. Send a Virtual bag of school supplies to a bloggy buddy and ask them to join #bagitforward
3. Enter the Link to your post at BagItForward.org

Elmer’s will donate $10 per each post written to Adopt-A-Classroom, up to $10,000.

I received my Elmer’s virtual bag of school supplies from Kim at Crafty Mama of 4, and I am tagging several of my friends, sending them a virtual bag of school supplies and challenging each to help students and classrooms:

Cheryl – The Budge Bunch (a fellow CT blogger, with kids)

Cheryl - The Daily Blonde (many of my friends are named Cheryl, but this one’s from Rhode Island) – she also has a whole passel of kids in all assorted ages

Heather – Home to Heather (Canadian, our friend to the North) (don’t know if they have Elmer’s up  there, but Heather has kids!)

Kaye – SandwichINK (a fellow Baby Boomer Grandmom, who misses school shopping, like me, I’m sure!)

Rachel - Touchd (also from CT, and I was her campaign manager for her recent bath and body products review launch!)

Garden Gnome-Mom’s Cafe Home Cooking (another Canadian who I always thought was from Maine) and who tweets daily about the wonderful things she’s always cooking or growing in her garden!

HOW CAN YOU JOIN? It’s easy.

• Participate in the Elmer’s Virtual Bag It Forward and by giving away a virtual bag of school supplies and creating a blog post with specific rules described below.

• Elmer’s will donate up to $10,000 to Adopt-A-Classroom

• You can give as many virtual bags as you want in your post, but only one post per URL is counted towards the donation. You can post at multiple URLs.

The Topless Undershirt

Fall is a great time to experiment with shakin’ up your fashion look.  Whether it’s for Back-to-School, business casual, or around the house, everyone likes a change now and then.

My fashionista girls are really into layering, and I’ve given it a try too!

I’ve recently had the opportunity to review the Topless Undershirt from Blush Accessories. It’s a smart way to add the look of layering without adding the extra bulk and straps.

This idea is similar to the tube tops that I used to wear when I was a teenager.

Unlike a tank top or long shirt, it doesn’t  have straps which can cause your undershirt to ride up and will stay in place. Since there aren’t any straps, you’re able to adjust it to any length you choose -  whether it’s over the top of your jeans or all the way down to your thigh.

These would look so stylish under sweaters this fall, or any time of year!

The top has a tapered shape and are made from a polyester/rayon/spandex blend. They’re made without any cotton and are pre-shrunk.

The topless undershirt is a frugal way to extend the life of your wardrobe – rather than throwing away any of your favorite shirts that have shrunk in the dryer,  add a little flair and pizzazz with one of the many colors and patterns that are offered!

Also available in Maternity styles for Moms-to-Be!

The Topless Undershirt comes packaged in a cute little bag that you can repurpose!

Blush Accessories is offering my readers a promotional discount of 20% off 2 undershirts or more~ just mention that you read the review here at Moomette’s Magnificents.

Use Promo Discount Code: welovebloggers

Available at select retail locations.

For more information visit: Blush Accessories

Moomette’s Magnificents  is hosting a Giveaway Contest! For a chance to win, there will be one (1) winner of a Topless Undershirt from Blush Accessories.

Please include a way of contacting you. Should you be the contest winner, this information may be shared with the contest sponsor in order to send your prize.

Both of my daughters were active in sports from elementary school on up through college.  As a matter of fact, today my youngest daughter participated in a benefit mud-volleyball tournament for epilepsy.

As a mom, we always fear the dreaded sports-related injury phone call.  Even though she’s 22, I’m still getting them.  We had to pick her up from the ER today after an asthma attack on what has been the hottest day of the summer here so far.

My charming son-in-law is involved in athletics and as such, has to shop for team shirts for the kids.  That task can be quite daunting.  In the past, my husband has had hooded sweatshirts printed up for business promotion, and gave our son-in-law some pointers.

Indigo Clothing offers t-shirt printing and is a simple to use website to order online.  They try to offer the lowest prices around and believe that excellent customer service is important. Their clients range from blue-chip companies to church groups and student clubs.

Major discounts are available on bulk orders  if you use Code: StockClearance, and there’s a Student Cash Back of up to 20% off their list if you use Code: Cashback.

If you’re a parent looking to promote your team or PTA school fundraiser, or perhaps a businessperson looking to gain exposure for your company, Indigo promotional clothing is an easy way to get the job done.

Carolina Pad Kendall and Sasquatch Collections

First Day of Kindergarten

In a few weeks it will be Back-To-School, and I’m a little melancholy.  You see, my youngest daughter recently graduated college and it’s the first time in oh how many years that I won’t be sending my prodigy off to school.  At least, not for awhile, as she’s taking a break before starting on her Masters degree.

No waiving to the school bus any longer – time goes by so quickly, and the kids grow so fast!

I’ve recently had the opportunity to review a line of  Back-To-School product from Carolina Pad and Paper.

Our products rock – at least that’s what our consumers tell us! With trendy design and great function, Carolina Pad notebooks, binders, and other school and office products stand out from the crowd. You might also catch a glimpse of our fashion collections, with clever names like Hot Chocolate and Pattern Play, on hit shows like 90210, Greek, and Gossip Girl.

There are two exciting lines that have been recently released, and Carolina Pad is generously offering a Giveaway to readers of Moomette’s Magnificents.  Whether you homeschool or have children, nieces, nephews or grandchildren that you’ll be waiving goodbye to on the school bus, you’ll want to check out these school supplies:

Sasquatch – Leave Nothing But Tracks

Made from recycled materials, these beautifully designed notebooks, folders, binders and divider tabs also include an environmental education component that reminds young people about everyday actions they can take to become even better stewards of the environment.

The product collection is appealing to school age girls and boys as well as moms who want to teach their children to live green. Sasquatch products enable them to express their love of the environment through nature-oriented designs and to learn how they can make the world a better place.

Carolina Pad’s Sasquatch Web site,  is an interactive destination designed to give visitors information on environmental issues. From interactive games to informative tips, blogs and links to additional green resources, kids can use the site to make a difference. They can also connect with Sasquatch through Twitter and Facebook.

Kendall Kollection – Inspired by a Special Little Girl

The notebooks and office supplies in this collection are not only eye-catching and beautiful, but they are also a small way for a designer and a company to give back to a little girl who was stricken with leukemia.

Here is a little more about Kendall’s story.

When Jacqueline Savage McFee, signature designer for Carolina Pad  – the industry leader in trendy school, office and organizational fashion products, got the devastating news that her two-year-old cousin, Kendall Sierens, was diagnosed with leukemia, it brought things into perspective for her. It also created a spark. The Kendall Kollection – a collection of colorful high-end school supplies inspired by the artist’s young cousin – was born in 2008 and has been raising funds and awareness for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The partnership between Jackie McFee, Carolina Pad and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society continues for 2009 with fresh new designs.

Kendall is now almost six-years old and in remission, but the battle continues for thousands of other children just like her. Carolina Pad looks forward to another year of helping The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in its effort to find cures and better therapies for patients with leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma.

Mothers and their daughters adore the look of the collection, but really love knowing that purchasing these products helps those in need.

Available at major national retailers including Wal-Mart, K-Mart and Office Max, as well as grocery and drug store chains.
