Cardinals Brawlin'!

Did you watch the Cardinals Game last night? There was some fighting going down! It all started out 2 days ago with some lovely comments Brandon Phillips made about the Cardinals.  He seems like a real classy guy.

Then last night when they were playing the Reds Phillips went up to hit and he tapped Molina's shin guard, which from what I know is a friendly tap and Yadi wasn't having it - so we had the fight heard round the world.

Today I'm sure there will be fines and suspensions issued and What the heck is up with Johnny Cueto?? He was kicking like a girl!!

Ooh, it's getting into a Pennant race now! Oh, how I am a Cardinals Fan!

Giveaway - Crayola Color Wonder Summer Travel Imagination Prize Pack

The Casa de Cowan heads out on our next vacation in November to Orlando to see Harry Pottery. We're going to need something to occupy our time and Crayola Color Wonders is going to help with that!

Kids love the way the colors magically reveal and moms love that there´s no clean up involved. Color only appears when the markers or paints meet Color Wonder paper, so there are no clothes to wash or hands to clean when you reach your final destination! This gives me peace of mind that I won't have markers and mess all over the back seat of my car. Here are some other items that are going to be great for our trip!

Crayola gave Casa De Cowan the opportunity to try out all of the great items. My concern was how fast the paper would disappear and markers would dry out. Definitely not the case - we still have quite a bit to take to Harry Pottery in November! Here's what we got to try out:
 Crayola Color Wonder Lap Desk provides a large, hard-top surface for kids to create on the go. The sturdy desk has a built-in handle and a soft detachable pillow that can be used as a storage unit for Color Wonder markers and paper. The Lap Desk is equipped with 12 re-stickable pieces of Color Wonder paper to keep kids´ drawings in place and 5 Color Wonder mess-free mini markers in red, orange, yellow, green and blue

Crayola Color Wonder Fingerpaints & Paper make the once impossible possible - fingerpainting in the car! The set includes clear, fast-drying gels that feel just like traditional fingerpaint. The set comes with 5 mess-free colors (red, yellow, green, blue and orange) in a hand-shaped storage container, a built-in finger cleaning sponge and 12 extra-wide sheets of Color Wonder paper. When kids are finished painting, they simply snap the fingerprint lids closed and paint stays fresh and ready to use again!


Crayola Color Wonder Stow & Go Studio provides a solid, compact drawing surface with stay-put clips that can secure a single piece of paper or an entire Color Wonder activity book. Kids will enjoy creating with mess-free Color Wonder markers that make colors magically appear on special paper and reveal special hidden surprises


Crayola Color Wonder Story Stampers includes 5 Color Wonder markers in red, blue, green, purple and orange, a Color Wonder stamp pad, 6 sea creature stamps, and an 18-page coloring pad with undersea background settings. Each setting is unique, so every page will inspire a different fish tale just waiting to be told! Kids´ imaginations will take them beneath the sea as they stamp color sea creatures using the colorless Color Wonder stamp pad to create innovative stories and scenarios then can then color in. It's like high tide for your imagination!


Crayola also wants you to print out a $1 off coupon and pick up your own Color Wonder items! Then take photos and upload them to Facebook to share your little Picaso's art work!
