Ever since I was a child, I loved trains!  I have passed this love of trains down to my kids who love them as much as I do.  We take rides when we can, we play with trains and watch Chuggington.  Now, there is a new Chuggington DVD we can watch!

A special delivery of traintastic fun is coming down the tracks for young trainees all across the country this season with “Delivery Dash at the Docks,” the newest release in the much-loved “Chuggington™” DVD collection.

The series follows the adventures of three young trainees – Wilson and his friends Brewster and Koko – as they ride the rails and take on exciting challenges that test their courage, speed and determination.

Our thoughts:
Little man loved this DVD.  The episodes are really cute and they teach good lessons.  Chuggington is one TV show I know little man can watch and I don't have to worry about what he is learning.   When not watching his Chuggington DVDs, little man watches it on Disney Junior!  Chuggington: Delivery Dash at the Docks came with a limited edition toy train and that was a huge hit.  That train has traveled with use ever since the DVD arrived.

A Perfect Valentine's Meal Thanks to a Kabob Skewer Set from Cave Tools

Disclosure:  We received the kabob skewer set from Cave Tools to facilitate our honest review.  The free item did in no way alter our review.

Chefy always prepares a special meal for me on Valentine's Day.  Every year it is something different and I never have any idea what it will be.  It has been everything from sushi to lasagna or maybe even a steak and lobster.  With all those tasty ideas running through my head, I anxiously awaited the meal.

Recently we received a wonderful kabob skewer set from Cave Tools and had been waiting for the right moment to use them.  The crazy winter we have been having has caused us to alter our plans several times.  The weather for our Valentine's meal was COLD, but Chefy was determined.

Let me tell you a little about this kabob set.  It contains five stainless steel kabob skewers and a kabob rack.  The skewers are FLAT and can rotate into 8 different skewer positions!  It has a universal design which enables it to work on any size grill and another huge plus is that it is dishwasher safe!

If you have ever used skewers before, you know that the round skewers allow the food to slide to the side and slip off.  Nothing stays put!  These flat skewers are prefect!  Everything stayed in place and thanks to the little built in food slider, the food is very easy to remove!

The food came out delicious and easily slid off the skewers.  I apologize for the lack of photos of the finished product, but it smelled so yummy, I forgot!

If you are interested in purchasing this kabob skewer set, you can order them from Amazon or from the Cave Tools website.  You can save 15% off your purchase right now by using the following code: LHWJZQMZ5 when shopping at Amazon.
