What’s cute and furry and scurry’s about?
Zhu Zhu Pets of course! And there have been some adorable new additions to the Zhu-niverse lately—ZhuZhu Babies!
ZhuZhu Babies are taking over the Zhu-niverse one baby-step at a time, and now they can take over your living room. Your little ones will love playing with these itty bitty babies: They’re too cute! ZhuZhu Babies each have their own unique name, tiny birthmark, biography and collector’s number. Want more Zhu action? There are plenty of accessories and playsets so your kiddos can play and pretend with their ZhuZhu Babies and never get bored!
All of my little ones love their ZhuZhu Pets, so I was pretty sure they would take just as well to the ZhuZhu Babies that we were sent to review: I was right! My youngest daughter Lil Diva has spent hours playing with her ZhuZhu Babies, that are the perfect size for her little hands (just be careful if your little one has a habit of putting things in her mouth as some of the pieces are very small). I love that she can play pretend and use her imagination by pretending to be their “mommy” she also loves getting her ZhuZhu Pets in on the fun by pretending that the ZhuZhu Babies are the little brothers and sisters of her ZhuZhu Pets…so cute!
For more about ZhuZhu Babies, you can check out the ZhuZhu Pets website!
I have no doubt that ZhuZhu Babies will be on lots of holiday wish lists in the near future! But why wait for the hoildays to let your little one in on the ZhuZhu Babies fun? I have one ZhuZhu Babies to give away to a very lucky MIBR reader! Check out all of the giveaway details below to enter!

Handing one of the boxes of Zhu Zhu Pets off to the Hometown Christmas chairperson Kay Marshall!
About a month ago I was informed that I was chosen by Cepia (the amazing company who makes the ever popular Zhu Zhu Pets) as one of the bloggers to participate in their “Random Acts of Zhu”. Random Acts of Zhu was established last year by Cepia as a way to provide toys to children in need. Each blogger chosen received 104 Zhu Zhu Pet toys to donate to a charity of his or her choice. Perhaps the best thing about the Random Acts of Zhu is the fact that it allows the chosen bloggers to make an impact at the local level and I was very excited about that!
One of the children who attended our Hometown Christmas celebration proudly displaying her new Zhu Zhu Pet!
The town that I live in is a very small, country town (it's actually, officially called a village) we have one stop light, 2 nationally recognizable restaurants, 3 gas stations, and a Dollar General Store; no grocery stores, no Wal Mart...nothing. I was born and raised here and have lived within a one block radius nearly my entire life. I live on the same street that my mother grew up on, two houses down from my the house my great grandparents lived in when I was a baby...this town has history for me. From the time I was very little I always dreamed of having my own children one day and raising them here, but our town has gone downhill fast and is only a shadow of what it was when I was younger. Drugs have taken hold of our town in the worst way; from having friends that I've known since I was in diapers OD on drugs to seeing people that I went to school with wasting away from drugs...it's gotten extremely bad. Add to that the fact that the majority of the residents in our town have an income well below the poverty line and you start to see the picture I see daily. Though the situations that the adults find themselves in are sad what's worse are the children who are subjected to all of the things that go on here on a daily basis, it breaks my heart to look at a child and know that his or her life is pure hell. When I found out that I would be participating in Random Acts of Zhu I knew exactly where my donation would go, to our town's annual Hometown Christmas celebration! For the past 20 years Kay Marshall has been orchestrating our Hometown Christmas and bringing holiday happiness to so many deserving families in not only our town, but the surrounding towns as well. Aberdeen's Hometown Christmas is held annually, usually the second Saturday in December, and is a much anticipated highlight for the children of our town. Each person in attendance is asked to bring a canned food donated for our local food bank, but no one is turned away for being unable to contribute. In addition to the lighting of the town Christmas tree and carols there is a chili supper complete with chili, hot dogs, cookies, and drinks all generously donated and free to everyone. One of the highlights of the evening is the visit from Santa, children (and their parents) line up eagerly anticipating their visit with Santa. After having a chance to talk to Santa each child is given a bag of goodies (usually including some fruits and candy) and a toy or two (all donated by local businesses and individuals). While Santa is for sure a big cause of excitement the undisputed highlight of the night for the kids is the opportunity to receive a toy or two. Sadly our Hometown Christmas is as close as some of the children in attendance get to a real Christmas, and knowing that through my blog I helped to bring smiles to so many little faces that night warmed my heart! Thanks to Cepia I was able to donate 104 Zhu Zhu Pet toys to our Hometown Christmas celebration, having the chance to bring a little Christmas joy to so many deserving children is what the holidays are all about to me. I hope that by being there and seeing all of the little faces light up with their new toys, my own children were inspired to give and give big whenever possible!
I'd like to take this chance to thank Cepia on behalf of the children of Aberdeen, you have no idea how much of a difference you made with a few small toys...thank you!

My children LOVE the Zhu Zhu pets, they are probably the one toy that my children actually play with on a consistent basis. And as much as it pains me to say it, I think they are just so darn cute too!
Thanks to Mom Select a few weeks back my kiddos were introduced to the Wild Bunch (kind of like the Zhu Zhu Pets wild, crazy, adorably furry cousins). The Wild Bunch is made up of 4 furry cuddly woodland creatures: Zu Zu the Hedgehog, Sweetie the adorable bunny, Stink the Skunk, and Rocco the Raccoon! Mom Select thought having a Wild Bunch party would be a great way to introduce people to the Wild Bunch, so that is exactly what we did!
My oldest daughter’s invited a few of their friends over for a wild, fun, Zhu-riffic good time! They played games (Wild Bunch races was their favorite), had a water balloon fight, ate lots of yummy snacks, and even the littlest guests got in on the act playing with the Wild Bunch and drawing on the sidewalk with chalk! They had an awesome time—see for yourself!

A few months ago when FedEx showed up at my door with a rather large package I did what I do with every other item they deliver, I sat it in my Products To Review corner, and forgot about it. A week later when I finally decided to open the box I never would have guessed that those shiny new boxes filled with battery-operated hamsters, hamster balls, slides, and cars would months later be causing a frenzy! I remember when Tickle Me Elmo was THE toy for the holiday season…I remember having to damn near take down another mom to nab one for my daughter; umm I’m pretty sure that these darn hamsters are even more in demand than Elmo was, and that is scary!
I opened the boxes, had I realized that these would be selling for HUNDREDS of dollars this holiday season on Ebay I would have kept a few aside for a rainy day, don’t even act like you wouldn’t have done the same thing. I let my kids review them (thanks to Mom Central) and they thought I was just the coolest mom on earth because I got produced the Zhu Zhu Pets, hey what they don’t know won’t hurt them. You can read my review here by the way.
Fast forward a couple of months and there isn’t a child in the land who doesn’t have Zhu Zhu Pets near the top of their Christmas list. Of course there aren’t many stores in the land that have the goods either. You can find them online; if you’re willing to sell a couple body parts and several pints of blood then they should only run you a couple hundred dollars…lol. Seriously though there are places online where you can find Zhu Zhu Pets and their accessories and I’m here to help you find them! Below is a list of various places I’ve found both the hamsters and their habitats reasonably priced! All items are available online so no standing in line for hours waiting for a hamster! Good Luck in your search and don’t forget to leave me a comment…I love those!
