LeapPad Ultra Review! Sy loves it.

LeapFrog LeapPad Ultra Kids' Learning Tablet, Green (Toy)






Absolutely love our LeapPad Ultra. We received ours a day before a storm knocked power out, and I was beyond glad that we had purchased 3 series of Backyardigan episodes. We also like the preloaded pet games, and draw pad. I can't wait til he gets older, and this grows with him. Connecting the wifi was easy, and Youtube loads fast. The picture app has some fun things to do too.

From the moment it arrived, my Son was intrigued with the Leap Frog Ultra.  I wasn't even allowed to touch the box. He was too busy reading it.






Doesn't he make the cutest bear cub EVER!? This is one of the pre-loaded apps with the built in camera.  There are two cameras.  One in front, and one behind. Other critters to change yourself into.




All that matters is if he likes it, and he really does enjoy the New LeapPad Ultra.  

Oh, I also wanted to mention, he has thrown it during numerous Melt downs, and so far, so good. Maybe it's built Sy tough.

Make the Switch To JENNIE-O Oven Ready Whole Turkey , The Better Alternative for Socialites, minus the time to prepare, but still the same great moist, plump, white meat.

I am a huge fan of Jennie-O Turkey.  In my experience Jennie-O has always been delicious. Even my picky 2 year old likes it.  We are just a family of 3, so we don't need a huge Thanksgiving meal, but just one that we can be more thankful for, and spend time together, instead of sweating it out in the kitchen.

Piece of my JENNIE-O Turkey Breast.  Just take it.. take another little piece of my turkey breast.. 


Have you seen Jennie-O's Whole Turkey Oven Ready Birds? You literally just take the frozen bird out of the bag, and bake it. No digging your hands into holes, you fear like prepping other birds. If you don't feel like baking, There are even Jennie-O fully cooked Turkey Breasts.  I found these in the Bakery Section next to the Rotisserie Chicken to go. While the Whole Turkey were in the Frozen Turkey Section. Both are more than enough for a family of my size.

Jennie-O Says,

Thanksgiving dinner preparation can be overwhelming –even for a seasoned cook. If you’re new to the world of Thanksgiving entertaining, turkey preparation can be the most daunting task of all. From thawing and cleaning to seasoning, preparing the turkey can be a time-consuming and messy process. With a house full of invited guests and six or more other dishes to prepare, who has that kind of time?

A recent study,conducted by Harris Interactive, showed nearly 1/3 of Thanksgiving hosts spend 2 hours or fewer socializing with guests on the big day (is that even enough time to eat?). Furthermore, 27% devote 8 hours or more just to cooking.

This infographic provides a snapshot of America’s time-stressed holiday preparation.

For busy women (and men!) assigned the task of preparing the Thanksgiving turkey, especially those who are newly married, first-time hosts, juggling work and home, hosting extended family, or have small children tugging at their apron strings, there is a delicious and easy alternative. JENNIE-O® OVEN READY™ Whole Turkey is a foolproof shortcut that takes turkey from Freezer to Oven to Perfect!™

Step 1: Remove the outer wrapping.
Step 2: Place the frozen turkey in a pan in the oven.
Step 3: Roast, cut and serve.

This juicy, tender turkey never disappoints because Jennie-O has done everything for you. JENNIE-O® OVEN READY™ is the only turkey that goes directly from freezer to oven with no thawing, easy clean up and no worries. Jennie-O helps hosts to serve a flavorful Thanksgiving turkey without the stress or mess, giving time-strapped entertainers more time to give thanks this season.
