Take kajeet back to school!
I’ve posted about kajeet before – and as one of their Mom Sales Team, I do think that it’s the best option out there for allowing kids to have the freedom of having a cell phone, but with the safeguards that we parents want and need to have in place. And all without costing and arm and a leg. My oldest daughter is already asking when she can have a phone – and while I do believe that she’s still too young at 8 years old, I know that her first phone (in due time) will be from kajeet. Now ...
“Wash Them Grow” with Suave Kids!
When my girls were babies, I went through the whole pile of baby washes and lotions that I received from baby showers and which lasted well into my oldest daughter’s first year of life. And after having a second baby, it just seemed easiest to keep using the ‘baby’ wash for them both, even as my oldest grew out of ‘babyhood’. In fact, it wasn’t until a few years ago, when I was at the store one day to purchase more baby wash and realized that although I did still have a baby in the house, by no means could ...
Review: Epson Artisan 810 All-in-One
In late 2008, I reviewed one of Epson’s newest (at the time) all-in-one printers – the Artisan 700. And after a year, we were still just as happy with the quality of printing, the ease of use and the overall functions of the printer – especially the built-in wi-fi that lets me sit out here in the living room on my laptop and wirelessly print from the Artisan in our home office across the house. The only issue I really had was the time or two when it definitely would’ve been convenient to have had a fax machine here in ...
Cruising with the new Pampers – and get your free sample too!
Although none of my girls are still in diapers (phew!), we spent almost 8 total years with at least one child wearing them. And for quite a while we had 2 kids in diapers at the same time, since our older two girls are only 20 months apart. By the time my youngest was potty trained a little over a year ago, there was only one brand of diapers that I was consistently using for her – Pampers Cruisers. Not only did they come in a size big enough to still fit her comfortably (up to size 7!), but they ...
Giveaway: Custom Stickers/Labels from UPrinting.com (ends 2/12)
I’ve held giveaways for UPrinting.com before and have been very happy with their products myself. One thing that I love about UPrinting is that they not only reach out to bloggers, but they are truly working to build relationships with us through their sponsorship program, no matter what our stats or readership are. They’ve made some changes to their sponsorship program for 2010 and I’m very excited about what they will be offering – starting with this first giveaway of the New Year. :) If you’ve been one of the lucky winners of a giveaway here in the past few ...
Review and Giveaway: Caress Evenly Gorgeous Exfoliating Body Wash and Beauty Bar (ends 2/17)
Ok, I’ll admit it – I tend to be a bit boring when it comes to personal beauty products. I don’t wear makeup on a regular basis, I don’t wear perfume at all, and I even try to avoid any kind of scented soap or body wash at all times. In my defense there, I’ve had issues in the past with allergic reactions to some soaps and washes (and especially deodorants), so I just go for the ‘safe’ route of sticking with dye and perfume-free products. Like I said, boring… My husband recently made the wistful remark that I don’t ...
Review: Dyson DC31 Handheld Vacuum
When we first moved into this house, one thing that we knew immediately was that the brand-new white carpeting in the living room and hallway definitely wouldn’t stay white. And it certainly hasn’t – between three kids, three cats and a husband who works outside most of the time, I’d call it more of a gray tone by now. At some point we’ll replace it, but for now it’s easier just to ignore the stains and just try to vacuum on a regular basis. Because our upright vacuum doesn’t work very well, and is heavy and bulky, I try to ...
Review and Giveaway: Chocolate Cheerios (ends 2/20)
My family is definitely one that loves cereal, as I’ve mentioned here before. I think that cereal is usually the largest single line item on our grocery bill every week because it’s what my husband and kids eat for breakfast every single morning – and from time to time we’ll have a ‘breakfast for dinner’ night too (comes in handy when grocery shopping’s overdue, lol). My husband eats a bowl of cereal every night before bed – he says that it not only fills him up so that he doesn’t wake up hungry in the middle of the night, but ...

I created this review site in order to have a place where I can give balanced, thorough reviews of various products, books, or whatever else I may come across. And keep an eye out for giveaways to be held every so often as well! You can find many more contests on other sites listed below and also summarized in my weekly Contest Round-Up posts.
