Tristin + Tyler on AMEBA TV!

Do you monitor what your kids watch on television? I do. The boys have a TV in their room but they only have a DVD player so I can control the content they consume. If you're the kind of mama (or dada) that doesn't want to deal with a DVD player, you've gotta check out Ameba TV. Picture this: fun, educational content, from independent artists and producers focused on music, activities and good ole' entertainment. That's Ameba TV. Oh and I have a bonus for ya, all of Tristin and Tyler's cooking episodes are now available on Ameba TV!! WOO HOO!  To learn more, head to Ameba's website. If you have an X-box, Roku, Google TV or an LG Smart TV, you can access Ameba! If not, just head to Ameba's website and find out how you can access the channel online.  Ameba TV is a great way to be assured your kids are not watching content that is inappropriate, oh --- and you get to watch T&T too! How do you beat that??

Tyler on the FOOD NETWORK!

Tristin and Tyler can definitely get cooking, but a kids cooking challenge with Rachael Ray and Guy Fieri on the Food Network? How cool is that??  Tyler was cast in a fun commercial to promote a special Food Network Event called Rachael vs. Guy Kids Cookoff.  8 kids, with some serious cooking skills, battle it out in the kitchen for a chance to have their very own webseries on the Food Network's website. Awesome, huh?  Check out Tyler dressed up as chef and Food Network personality Guy Fieri!  Don't you love the hair!??  Watch the commercial and check out behind-the-scenes photos below and make sure to tune into the show on September 8th at 8pm! It's a great way to show kids that if they pursue what they love, they can do anything.

Target Back to School Event

I'll admit, I'm a crappy planner when it comes to back to school time -- I get totally overwhelmed. Thankfully, Target invited us to their back to school event and it woke me up! Maybe this year I can get started early, for once! Why thank you, Target!

So, while kids got crafty with Lyss at the event, moms chatted about cool graphics on backpacks and bright-colored denim and accessories. What's cool this season? Colors, layers and accessories. I am a BIG fan of layers and mixing patterns, Target is right up my alley and the price is always right. My fav item from Target this summer was the boys' camo shorts (see below).  Tristin and Tyler have worn them just about everywhere this summer with everything from a tee to a button down shirt - obsessed much? Yes, I am.  Obsessed and proud.  :0)  For the Fall I am so excited about finding similar pieces that I am just as obsessed with that work with everything -- and I know I will find them at Target.

Hope you find something that you and your littles are obsessed with too.  See you in the aisles.

We were not compensated for this post. We received a Target gift bag. As always, all opinions expressed are my own.
