K’Nex Review

Feb 182012

K’NEX is the next generation of construction sets. It inspires creativity, builds self-confidence and encourages interaction among children and parents. The possibilities are endless!

Do your kid like K’Nex products? My seven year old son has been into Legos for several years, but I did a review for some K’Nex building sets last year, and he’s been hooked on K’Nex ever since. K’Nex are perfect for any child that loves to build – and the greatest part is that there is a huge variety of K’Nex products available. There are Monster Jam sets, Nascar sets, Sesame Street sets and now MarioKart building sets.

J3LL Watches – Review and Giveaway!

Feb 112012

I am one of those people who doesn’t necessarily have to wear a watch every day, but sometimes I like to wear one to change my look up a bit. I remember years ago (I’m talking when I was a teenager here), my mother had gotten me a set of interchangeable watches for Christmas and I just loved them. Somewhere along the lines, I lost them, but I recently found out about a company called J3LL, who not only has the coolest interchangeable watches, but they’re also jelly watches! How cool is that?

A classic love story unfolds in the best Disney tradition as a lovely young pedigreed cocker spaniel named Lady, who lives a pampered life, finds herself falling romantically for Tramp, an amorous street-smart pooch without prospects. Although they have fun together on several dates, including a sentimental spaghetti dinner by moonlight at Tony’s restaurant, their relationship is strained not only by Lady’s loyalty to her human family and their newborn baby, but by Tramp’s devil-may-care attitude that eventually gets Lady in trouble and tossed into the dog pound. However, good-hearted Tramp redeems himself by saving the baby from potential harm and thus wins Lady’s love and the affection of her human family.

Pediacare Infant & Children’s Acetaminophen Review and #Giveaway

Jan 282012

Congratulations to #15 Aline who won!

There is nothing worse than a little one who wakes up in the middle of the night with a fever. They’re so weak & it’s just heartbreaking for us parents to see our babies like that. It seems that every time either of my boys has had a fever, it would spike during the night. So I did what every parent does – I gave them a dose of acetaminophen. PediaCare is a trusted brand of acetaminophen for children and I’ve used it myself on many occasions.

Shaunna Michelle’s Etsy Shop Review!

Jan 212012

Anyone who knows me in real life knows that I am totally obsessed with all things Etsy. I love supporting handmade – well, anything. I think a big part of it is because I am the exact polar opposite of “crafty”. Fact. The other part is that the most unique things I’ve ever seen can all be found in one place. I recently discovered a new Etsy shop to focus my attention on. ShaunnaMichelle’s is a handmade artisan boutique featuring handmade items from Helena, Montana. She sells gorgeous handmade jewlery and knitted items.

Lugz Brigade Fold Boots Review

Jan 212012

It’s winter time in New England, which not only means cold weather, but snow. I don’t know about you, but when my feet are cold – my entire body is cold. If you’re lucky enough to live in a sunny, warm part of the country and you’re not used to the snow, let me assure you that being outside shoveling snow with cold, wet feet is the worst feeling in the world. I’m lucky in so far as that my husband is the type of guy that just goes to shovel and never, ever asks me to come out and help (he has no idea how much I appreciate that), but to be honest, the boots he had were lousy. They weren’t insulated very well and they sure as heck weren’t waterproof.

Ivory Soap Review and #Giveaway CLOSED

Jan 072012

This contest is now closed. Congratulations to lucky #113, Polly!

****

It’s a lucky day for me when I get to take a shower without two little sets of eyes peering at me while I try to do so. It’s sad, but true. When I do get the chance to take a shower with the bathroom door closed & locked – I like to stay in there and enjoy the peace & quiet. According to a recent survey conducted by Ivory soap, 66% of moms surveyed confessed to hiding in the bathroom for some much-needed alone time – and I definitley fall into that category!

Dec 242011

If you’re a parent, you know that birthday party supplies can cost you a small fortune. I’m lucky in so far that my two youngest boys both have August birthdays and I always combine the party.

Well, when I found out about a company called Discount Party Supplies. They are a leading online retailer of party supplies, birthday supplies, and many other party products.
